I question the intelligence of a bunch of druggies whose immediate response upon seeing the phrase "eyeball it" in regards to measurements, was to assume it meant to inject the drug directly into the eye.

i dunno, seems to me that getting drunk and coloring all the lightbulbs with different markers, spinning around until you feel dizzy, & sleeping on your arm will net you the same results for way less hassle

I apparently had a great-uncle (never met him, he died before I was born) who passed out drunk on a park bench in exactly the wrong way and woke up with no feeling in his left arm. It never came back. For the rest of his life he had totally normal function in it—no loss of muscle strength or movement or anything—except he had to be looking at it to see what it was doing.

Exploration is ill-advised.
TCC is great for shattering everything people told you about drugs because it turned out that people doing drugs can in fact be huge pathetic nerds about it as they are about anything else.

Also just in general a better scare-em-straight program than any DARE video ever could be.

Okay so in a 90s cyberpunk it was the tear canal re-routed to the salivary glands

*makes keyboard noise*

Every time Sally Shears cried she ended up spitting

*cilckety*

And we know that when you slam dope or take anything intravenously you can taste it, doctors and the first guy who gets you off warn you about this

*tappity*

now how can we reverse this whole process?

I think that was an in-joke, where a good slice of the in-jokeyness was them meaningfully looking around, making a whole hell of a lot of eye contact, and saying "None of us are stupid enough to take that literally. Please."

Yeah. I felt the same way about the mod who was trying to fit in with FYAD and posted "bestiality"

She got de-modded pretty quickly for that*

FYAD even got some fake angry blood up about EPG's article about nasty hentai saying "he posted pedo pics in a front page article"

it was legit a pretty sad situation because sunburnt aphid stopped posting after that

they talked about feeling like they were close to something, some feeling like sinking into a warm bath and not having to breathe. and that was basically them describing a mild heroin overdose

then they stopped posting.

The full context was that people were telling a dying heroin addict to go to rehab or otherwise get help, and him telling her that she’d be better off not never contacting any doctors or professionals and instead nurses herself back to health on a diet of LSD. It was not good advice.

When you're telling someone to use it instead of going to rehab, though, then I don't care if it works or not. They want to stop doing drugs, not jump onto a new one.

LSD is a genuinely good and helpful drug that could change a lot of peoples' lives if correctly used in a therapeutic context.

Devil's advocate: You are a mook on the internet. You cant convince someone to do anything especially making the hard choice to put down the drugs and go to rehab.

I guess the appropriate answer is always be the advocate for the right thing and be the 1001st person to tell them to go to rehab (detox honestly) and dry out before trying any kind of nonsense alternative therapy. That being said, still a schmuck on the internet, not going to get them out of those darn catacombs.

Thing is even “going to rehab” isn’t necessarily good advice given how little the industry is regulated and how much of it is borderline scammy.

Although it is still better advice than telling them to do more drugs.

Yeah I saw that Last Week Tonight episode too.

There are a lot of good ways to get clean through the system that your company or state will hold your hand throughout. Well, there are where I live.

Have to want it and then be reminded of why you wanted it by other people who want it still.

Shiatsu, hot detox and acupuncture are great but there really needs to be a support structure that doesn't consist of the bored and overqualified.


hot take: go to a Scientology center when you're loaded and ask to get in to their detox, you either get to dig a hole in the desert or they'll dig one for you

I know the rehab industry is garbage in a lot of places, but I’m pretty sure even the worst rehab is a step up from having no support network whatsoever (because your previous network all got killed by the drugs you want to kick).

TCC isn't actually as bad as its reputation. The problem is, like any other sub-forum on here, there are always a couple of absolute morons in a thread who no amount of logic, anecdotes, pleading, or anything else will get through to them. (See the bitcoin thread in GBS recently for a good example of this)

The consequences of one of these idiots outside TCC is typically just bad posts and schadenfreude, but in TCC they can often be horrific and even fatal.

The recovery thread in TCC is excellent and has a great community of goons supporting each other in long term sobriety using a variety of methods. The other threads, more often than not, have good advice and safety tips. There are thousands of goons though and in any population you get idiots. Most of them would be doing the same thing with or without TCC so I do actually believe it's done more good than harm on balance.

Armless guy came close.. IIRC the doctors recommended a full amputation but he refused and made them keep as much arm as possible, so he was left with this like, skin-covered bone forearm stump like a fleshy broomstick, because he said it still had some good veins for shooting up. Literally a limb whose sole purpose was to inject drugs into. He had pictures.
