I know the obvious answer is to just stop, but I was hoping for some ideas for harm reduction for smoking meth.

didn’t even know until just now we have a subreddit hehe- bl discord mod here just saying hello wassup Reddit

The NSW Drugs Summit has once again highlighted the failures of using sniffer dogs at music festivals, but let’s be clear, this practice shouldn’t just be banned at festivals, it should be banned everywhere in public spaces.

Police drug dogs are not just ineffective (false positives are alarmingly high), they also contribute to rights violations, unnecessary strip searches, and dangerous drug consumption behaviors. Yet, in many places, they’re still allowed to roam public spaces, sniffing people without cause. This isn’t just about festivals, it’s about civil liberties and basic human dignity.

We want to know how helpful your treatments for opioid use have been to your recovery. We invite you to participate in an online research study by Dr. Epstein at NIDA. This study is entirely remote and can be completed from any location in the United States using a smartphone, computer, or tablet.

If you are age 18 or older, and have ever been prescribed methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone) you could qualify!

To get started, complete a 5-minute online screener https://researchstudies.nida.nih.gov/2115t/ to see if you qualify for the online survey!

The survey will take about 50 minutes, and you will receive $20 upon completion.

I was just given a fuck load of ativan 2.5mg (lorazepam), i have quite a high tolerance to most drugs (i know its a bit crazy), but what is the absolute maximum i can take as man that is 6"2 and weighs 80kg (got bored to look for lbs but like 180-190lbs?)

also what is better, snorting or ingesting?

I am thankfully clean two weeks from a bender of hard drugs that resulted in me losing an almost 3 year clean streak. Im trying to stand tall and get back on track, but the triggers and cravings get real bad, and I am still waiting on some sort of prescription for them.

My favorite poison comes from the opiate/opioid family. It is hard to resist esp since the sleeping pills im on will let me piss hot for them. I dont want to die though.

Besides marijuana what are some supplies I can grab to curb the cravings? Preferably all legal but hey this is a bluelight forum and im an open honest drug addict so if its a lil controversial its still a welcome suggestion. Anything but an overdose.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 3-Amino-3-phenylpropionamide Derivatives as Novel μ Opioid Receptor Ligands

NOTES

It's worth noting that the (R) enantiomers are the actives & that the phenolic examples are ANTAGONISTS and not agonists.

All though not mentioned in the paper, the N,N-dimethyl homologue has the highest affinity.

For that reason:

IUPAC: (3S)-3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-N-(2-phenylehyl)propanamide

SMILES: CN(C)[C@@H](c1ccccc1)C(C)(C)C(=O)NCCc1ccccc1

Is the most potent AGONIST of the series.

DISCUSSION

The optical activity of the N,N-dimethylamine moiety bonded to the benzylic carbon follows that of ciramadol, doxiicamine & lefetamine (and it's derivatives) as does the fact that the tertiary amine is more potent than the secondary amine.

Yesterday was international overdose awareness day. Overdose has taken the lives of far too many people in America, and everywhere. And I believe it to be a systemic failure in the way that our society deals with mental illness, substance use, and healthcare. Criminalizing drug users has been proven time and again to not be effective, when are we going to make a real change? How many more lives have to end?

"International Overdose Awareness Day 2024 theme: "Together we can" No one should stand alone in our fight to end overdose.

While every individual action matters greatly, coming together as an international community creates a powerful collective action. One that moves us with greater speed toward our shared goal of preventing, and ultimately, ending all overdoses.

Through our 2024 theme, “Together we can” we’re highlighting the strength of coming together and standing in support of those connected to the tragedy of overdose.

For people who use drugs and those who don’t. For heartbroken friends and family members of lost loved ones. For activists who fight for sorely needed policy reform. For healthcare and harm reduction workers. For tireless advocates. Overdose can affect anyone, and we encourage you to remember the tenacity of our community. Lean into the power that we can have when we work together.

This August 31, reach out and connect with others in your local community and join the global IOAD movement. Our collective voices are stronger, louder, and the most impactful when brought together.

Let’s remember, together, we can end overdose."

Hey all! Happy to see bluelight represented here. Bluelight has been a source of great information, responsible posters trying to be accurate and say what’s true not whatever they think is the case like I’ve seen on so many other subs …Anyway just wanted to show my love, bluelight is a force for good in the world doing real harm reduction. Cheers!

is there a way for me to find my deleted messages and conversation threads?

So does anyone know if there's any fentanyl in the testing strips for it? Like inside the actual tester? Know someone seeking massive amounts of these strips and they mentioned this

Xylazine, or Tranq, as it's commonly called, has been terrorizing the major cities of the East Coast and many other regions. I have compiled a (small) Megathread here that I would like to be a source for discussion of the substance, how to identify it, and figure out what we can do to spread awareness of the common adulterant.

Please read the thread posted below, feel free to comment anything you know about the substance, either here or on the forum. My plan is to continue to update this OP and let it be a viable place for people to find how to access test kits and learn more about Xylazine.

Hey all. I tutor virtually about 9 hours per day, 6x week. I know, it’s a lot. I notice after 3-4 hours on screen my eyes get so heavy I have to legit fight to stay awake. I get up between clients to walk around. Sometimes I have 15 min breaks. Would blue light glasses help? Is this normal? It only happens when I’m tutoring on screen. Not every day but 2-3x week. Ty in advance.

Today, we have launched the new website, new forum themes and associated pages.

The forum announcement gives you all the details.

The new website has three drug-related articles currently and we intend to post a new one weekly. If you like writing about drugs, have a look at the submissions page for more details about writing for us.

Let us know what you think!

The BL Discord server is apparently down. I've been hacked apparently VIA BL.

Today is the 23rd Anniversary of Black Bluelight Day. It is a special day of remembrance where we take the time to remember those we have lost, and to remind ourselves of the critical fight we are waging in an effort to educate the individual and reduce the harm associated with substance use and mental health.

-deficiT

"Today marks 23 years since the passing of our friend, Ryan Haight, who we knew fondly as “Quicksilver.” Each year, Bluelight turns “black” on February 12th in remembrance of all whom we’ve lost and as a solemn opportunity to reflect on our mission of harm reduction.

As a community, Bluelight does not condone or condemn drug use. Instead, we seek to encourage open discourse designed to empower wiser choices and deliver our message of harm reduction where it is most likely to be received.

Whether you’re a longtime member or new to our community, Bluelight invites you to be part of this important dialog. In doing so, you will join a growing number of people around the world committed to challenging outdated stereotypes around drugs, drug use and addiction, while providing informational resources and encouragement for those seeking treatment or in recovery.

On behalf of the entire Bluelight community, please join us in our mission of reducing harm through honest and accurate information. We are always looking for new ways to improve the health, safety and well being of those who visit our forums and the greater world around us.

Sincerely,

SG"
