All rules are subject to moderator discussion. If you have a problem with a mod's action, please contact them or another mod via message. Do not post threads complaining about a mod's action.

Bluelight uses an infraction points system. Breaking a rule can result in an infraction. Usually warnings are given for first or minor offenses. Enough infractions will cause a temporary ban, with each subsequent ban lasting longer.

RULES:

All of the usual rules from the Bluelight User Agreement (BLUA) still apply, of course.


  1. Be polite. Seems simple, but this is the internet & people can get quite heated if they disagree. We encourage healthy debate, but do so in a respectful fashion.
  2. Accuracy is important. This is a research-oriented forum. Be honest about the limitations of your knowledge or expertise on a given subject. Don't fabricate or guess if you're uncertain about something.
  3. No posts regarding drug sources, synthesis, availability, quality, price, etc. This is not the place for that type of activity, regardless of legality of the substance in question.
  4. No substance identification threads. If you don't know what drug you have, we certainly can't divine that via a message board. And generally speaking, you shouldn't purchase or ingest drugs of questionable identity.


Content & Style (Guidelines for Harmonious Posting):

  • This is a research-oriented forum. General discussion of psychedelics, tripping, drug ingestion techniques, etc go in the Psychedelic Drugs forum (PD). Trip Reports go in the Trip Reports forum (TR).
  • n=1≠research. While there is an important feedback loop between anecdote & research, do not present your personal experience as absolute truth.
  • Appropriate topics include discussions and questions about psychedelic harm reduction and public health issues related to psychedelics. Students who have written class papers on psychedelic harm reduction are encouraged to share their work here.
  • Posts about personal drug use are accepted in the Psychedelic Harm Reduction forum, as long as they relate to psychedelic harm reduction. If and when conversations turn into experience reports instead of harm reduction advice, we will need to either remove the offending posts or remind the thread to stay on the topic of harm reduction.
  • Posted comments should be presented at a level appropriate for a classroom or a professional meeting. This means:
    (A) Assume a skeptical audience. Provide argumentation and evidence, rather than simply asserting your beliefs. Clearly state the central point you are trying to make early in your message. Provide definitions and/or examples when using unusual terminology or advanced concepts. Please link to the literature whenever possible.
    (B) By the same token, please provide an introduction, summary, or discussion of all references or URLs posted to the list. Don't just post web addresses and say, "check this out."
    (C) Although original content is preferred, relevant cross-posts from other sources are welcome (especially when an introduction explaining the relevance is included).​
