This February 12th, Bluelight turns "black" for a 17th year.

Out searching the stars.

From an overdose survivor, thank you Sebastians_ghost. Thanks to people like you who use this site, there are a lot of us folks still alive out there.

*Lucky to still be alive

That the euphoria can be increased and the toxicity decreased is no secret to medicinal chemistry. The problem is, you cannot push a design for it's 'safety in overdose' given that officially, opiates aren't legitimately used for mental as well as physical pain.

It's a bummer big time, the "opioid epidemic" is getting worse, what with all the fentanyl analogues masquerading as every type of drug on the street. something I noticed was that a lot of people not strictly "in the know" are advocating for things that are more or less the opposite of harm reduction. Things similar to what they do with paint remover and spirits by adding methanol to them so people wont try to drink them for the ethanol by making the risks of doing so "deadly", Like upping the APAP in painkillers, adding certain formulations of naloxone into oral preparations, basically things that make recreational users very unsafe, and that's supposed to be the deterrent.

I live n a place in the US that was trying to get a supervised injection site installed as well as a needle exchange, since all the fentanyl overdoses and disease transmission here have literally been of epidemic proportions. But after a few days i was hearing people say things like "THEY'RE TRYING TO LEGALIZE HEROIN" and "They're making it so easy to be a junkie they're basically giving them free drugs" so it was basically shot out of the sky instantly. People here act like they actively enjoy hearing about people addicted to drugs being hurt and it makes it so hard for those who needs help.

I survived a fentanyl overdose as well, I was in ICU for a week, had a respirator, heart attack. I should not be here, but I am. I remember when PhreeX kicked it as well, and I didn't know jamshyd passed.

I finally managed to get off most things like a 3 year suboxone prescription, a year long with benzos, but I still screwed around with kratom. I finally kicked *everything* with Iboga. Praise the Lord. Hopefully the US will legalize it again. What else works? Treatment centers have a horrible success rate, but theyre better than nothing I guess.

Respects to friends & family. R.I.P. Quicksilver & Sebastians_ghost.

Narcan should be in every first aid kit.

Miss you. Brűder.

Sorry for your loss

He was the most neglected, depressed, genius I've ever met. He came to NYC, to live laurel aka tokenname. I told him not to come, was deep in benzo wd. He took a cab to Moriches, Long Island (200 dollar cab ride.) Wasted.
We boozed and bonded, I went out and bought food toiletries etc, I'd wake up and he was shooting junk. I tried to buy as much weed as possible but he was gone before I got to him. Had a habit, and being in NYC, bought cocaine and heroin every time I went to sleep. Left me talking to a schizophrenic jazz musician on the street, busking to score H. That's when his hotel wouldnt let me back in. That's the story. It pains me typing it.

I got kicked out of the hotel, spent a night in Bellevue nuthouse, wrote my address everywhere I could. Turns out she was married. I was bedridden with jaundice. He came off all that shit, hung himself.

So any of you shitstirreres tell me i left him to die? YOU WEREN'T THERE. I found out 3 days later when his sister contacted mine own on facebook. We still speak to this day.

Thou . Love you mate

The dead live on and shine bright when those that knew them remember them together.

Bluelight is harm reduction and number one rule of harm reduction is look after your mates.

With this in mind the community as it griws and changes over time must be fostered, encouraged and remembered.

Dont take bonds formed here for granted. Ince they're gone they're gone

Thanks love.

Needed to clear the air and set the record straight

Rip jim possible

aka

axl blaze

RIP brother. My condolences to all that knew and loved him.

I’m new here nice to meet everybody. Still trying to figure out how to work this site and post a thread. Any type of help would be thankful

Recently clean of oxys and very glad to be indeed. Thank you for the article. Condolances.

My first OD happened this year from a fentalogue after six years of opiate abuse. I had to be on a respirator for the night. Did i learn? No i overdosed three more times. Us opiate addicts yearn to kill the mental pain and spiritual anguish. At least im off the needle and back on suboxone(was on it for four years).

Bluelight is my safe haven, even if i dont post much. Im so sorry for your loss. I wish this country as a whole would take harm reduction more seriously..we need clean injection site centers and diactyl morphine maintenance.

Sorry for everyone's losses rip to my bffs Di and Lenice
