honestly, i don't think the harm reduction excuse for TCC is invalid.

nobody in their right mind would try heroin after reading the opiates thread. nobody in their right mind would try phenazepam after reading the joose stories. this is harm reduction at work: when a chemical is a horrible hell-chemical that will tear your life to shreds, sharing stories about how god-awful it is (even if you don't fully realize you're doing that) is an effective way to keep people the hell away.

e: this is not a defense of HondaRider, i gather that was a pretty long time ago and he's not haunting the goddamn forums as a ghost-mod. current leadership, to my knowledge, is not telling people to try LSD to get off heroin.

He immediately made an account on Something Sensitive and complained about how he was treated unfairly and Did Nothing Wrong. So no, he can go gently caress himself.

Rhino, you did this to me!

I did not step down, I was abandoned by the admins after being assured that the witch hunt had no merit and that I would be fine.

gently caress all the bullshit hand-wringing, feigned concern about a topic/poster that nobody here knew anything about at all. This was a perfect microcosm of the worthless, "gotcha!" society that is the modern world. One wrong sentence and suddenly people come out of the woodwork asking for their job, even though within the context of the relationship and the history of the people involved the statement is totally innocuous. Oh you spent years devoted to helping people and sharing your own personal experiences in hopes of enriching the lives of others? Haha gently caress you we want to have a big FYAD circlejerk and get our jollies by meddling around in business that doesn't pertain to us at all. Pieces of poo poo.

My suggestion is you all shoot up heroin until you die.







while looking that up I also discovered that Something Sensitive is down and has apparently been gone for like 2 years now.

One thing I find interesting about heroin is that it's really a whole other class of drugs. The people I knew over the years who were really into drugs but definitely not addicts would absolutely, positively never get anywhere close to heroin. They'd do cocaine and LSD for entire weekends sometimes then go back to work on Monday but heroin? gently caress no. The people who did heroin were a whole other class of people and pretty much all of them were hardcore addicts.

The drug users I knew were the types who would sometimes go party on their days off and maybe smoke a joint after work. You wouldn't expect them to be hard drug users and were generally just pretty normal folks but the heroin users? Woo boy. Seeing what heroin does to people first hand was a really good deterrent for sure. Mostly the drug users and partiers I knew didn't cross the line into smack territory and that was deliberate. It would very often be a deep, dark hole you might never crawl out of. If they knew somebody that did it was a serious "oh, gently caress" moment as they knew what was likely to happen and knew it was probably the person not doing drugs to have fun but doing drugs to cope.

eh that's mostly true but I know several people for whom cocaine alone was a deep dark hole they never really pulled themselves out of. A guy I knew in college was feeding his habit with rent money for 3 months and nobody in the house knew until the realtors taped an eviction notice to the front door.

You can get addicted to basically anything. I mean World of Warcraft has had the same financial effect on people and it isn't even a drug. But yeah, cocaine is probably the thing closest to heroin in life destroying potential but it really seems like heroin is just a whole other level.

The unholy quadrecta of drugs that will ruin you is:

- crack
- meth
- ketamine
- heroin

I grew up in a hella drug/party squat culture and of the people who didn't make it out alive/are currently stuck in addiction hell, it was heroin and ket that got them all. Meth is getting more common in the UK, but not on the level it is in the states.

Even as dumbass 15 year olds we all knew you don't gently caress with crack or smack. Those of us that crossed the line are literally all either dead or living horrible lives right now. Those of us that didn't are mostly ok, functional adults. I include ket in this list cos we had no idea how bad it was and what it would do to people, and it was the gateway to a smack habit for almost everyone I know who crossed the line.

I know like, one guy who developed a destructive coke habit? It was smack that killed him in the end anyway. The heroin threads have always turned my stomach, it's the same junkie defenses I've heard out of the mouths of friends who overdosed before they turned 30. Opiates are a whole different ballgame to party drugs, they will ruin your life and kill you and if you think you can handle them, you're too dumb to be taking any drugs at all quite frankly.

dunno, maybe. It's hella addictive though and makes you dumb and fucks up your liver and fucks up your memory. Nearly all the smackheads I know started off taking k at parties, then became k heads and ended up chasing that feeling of not feeling all the way into full blown heroin addiction.

god damn it, you've got to be kind

K in large/repeated quantities for a long time can also gently caress up your bladder, so have fun pissing away your ability to piss as well as your money. and the taste and nausea if you mess up and swallow it... bleh.

IMHO: Ketamine can be a fantastic anti-depressant, but it's not something you can or should just self-medicate with. i'm seeing people i know doing that and it scares me :(

If you want to do k, please consult a professional who has experience with it. there are plenty of people doing legitimate research into K, some of whom aren't even being paid by giant pharmaceutical companies.

ETA don't do drugs because someone on the internet mentioned it. but if you're going to do drugs anyway holy crap do your research, know what you're doing and BE SAFE ABOUT IT. if you don't think you can do it 100% safely don't do it.

my layperson opinion is that if you are dead set on k as a treatment for depression and have the means to pay for ketamine infusions that's probably the lowest risk option.

the research on k in clinical use is quite promising but im extremely untrusting of people self medicating with it cos it's left a literal trail of bodies in my life. dont gently caress with k. it's not a benign drug.

tbh, deliberate self medication with all sorts of poo poo from k to psychadelics has caused more damage in people i know than partying ever did. everyone thinks they're a psychopharmacologist right up to the moment they get sectioned/found cold and dead. I hate that whole culture, it's irresponsible as gently caress - im probably biased but I had 7 people die in the last 5 years and I'm currently acting as a carer and advocate through the kafka-esque hell of NHS mental health care for a close friend, who went off his anti-psychotics and anti-depressants in large part because of anti-pharma fucks who encouraged him to self medicate, completely ignoring that someone who's severely psychotically mentally ill and struggling with addiction is literally incapable of making sensible decisions about taking drugs. im sick and tired of sectioning my friends, and I'm sick and tired of talking people down from suicide cos some rear end in a top hat told them to take k/LSD/whatever instead of their meds.
