This thread might seem a bit repetitive as you can view all the 'rules' to certain drugs on harm reduction pages, but I thought it would be interesting to hear everybody's personal perspectives. I want to establish some 'rules' myself, so I'm interested to hear what other people think is important.
If you guys feel this thread is unnecessary, though, then delete away. But I'd like to a good discussion going rather than just people listing their rules.
Benzos:
- Only ever three times a week
- Only when I absolutely need them for anxiety or sleep. Otherwise try and wait it out.
- Only ever two tablets at a time (so 10mg valium usually)
- Must wait at least an hour after last drink (but I will use valium after drinking a fair bit...or will drink after taking a valium, but not to augment the affects of alcohol.)
- Never for recreational purposes
MDMA
- Try to keep it to once a month (but sometimes I fail. a lot).
- Always preload with some antioxidants and sometimes postload with piracetam (but often don't)
- Only take it on a night, when I know the next day I have no plans
- Only take it if at least a few more people are taking it
- Try and save it for special occasions
- Always take half a pill first and then the rest after 15-20 mins (due to anxiety issues)
- Never more than 2 pills
- Must test with a kit
LSD
- Once-three times a year and only if I'm psychologically stable
- Only take it by myself (but usually with other people around- but they can't be high on LSD.)
- Usually only take it if I have plans and stuff to do (don't like to be stuck in the house)
- Always have my boyfriend with me (sober)
- Always have some benzos nearby (although this is true of every drug)
2cb
- After bad experience- only ever take less than 10mg
- Don't redose!
BK-MDMA
- Um. Not many rules...or at least they all seem to go out the window when I'm on it or want to be on it.
- Preload with antioxidants and sometimes postload
Mephedrone
- No more than 300mg in a night
- Don't redose more than 3 times
- Measure every dose accurately
- Only snort
- Try not to take too many nights in a row, but often fail
- Preload with antioxidants most times
Weed
- Only every few months or if I am offered
- Never mix with anything
Alcohol
- Only three nights in a row
- Max is 10 standard drinks (but I'm known to break this). Preferable amount is 6-7 drinks
- Eat a good meal beforehand
- Try to only drink white spirits, wine and beer
- No shots (unless it's sake)
Opiates
- Only use if offered
- Don't redose
- Do a test shot first
- Don't share needles!
- Will only allow one person in the world to shoot me up
Meth/Speed
- Snort- but will shoot up with one person
- Do a tiny line first and work my way up
- Try to redose as little as possible- no more than 4 times
- Always sleep after 12-14 hours
- Benzos, benzos, benzos
- Drink on it if I'm out to prevent anxiety
- Drink lots of water
- Try to do some work while I'm still high- but only use if I'm partying
- Use as rarely as possible
- Try to get amphetamine-sulphate, even if it costs more
General
- Only ever use the smallest dose to get high; don't get greedy
- Never more than three nights in a row and that's pushing it. If I use one night, try to take a break that night
- Don't use unless it's a Friday or a Saturday, but sometimes I break this one
- Wait until as late as possible to use so the night is longer and I don't redose
- Never use alone
- Keep samples of all the stuff I like in case I run out one day or dealer goes cold
- Get phone numbers of acquaintances I know use drugs- may need help one day for dealers
