I was thinking about this after hanging out with a friend of mine on the weekend. Ecstacy is a new thing for her, and I was kind of shocked that she had literally no idea about it at all...how it works or what it is even beyond being a pill with a symbol on it.
Then tonight I started thinking about the first time I ever had E. I was pretty much uneducated, but still had a general idea that "it makes you happy by altering the chemicals in your brain." I remember being pleasantly surprised that I didn't have the dreaded suicidal comedown I'd been scared was gonna happen.
Since then, I'd say 99% of everything I know about drugs is from this site...I'm not the absolute expert on drugs that some people are, but thanks to bluelight I have enough knowledge to keep myself out of mischief and I feel confident discussing harm minimisation with less experienced people.
So, how much knowledge about drugs did you have before ever using them? Any preconceptions that got blown out of the water? And how much have you learned since your first time?
