A message to the community of r/drugs

Original post in this thread

SteelyJam · 212 points

Over the last few months I have discovered this subreddit and it has given me knowledge I don't know how I would have obtained otherwise, and it has made me a more responsible recreational drug user because of it. But I have noticed a flaw within the communities structure.
This subreddit is about education not dissuasion. We are not trying to stop people from using, we are trying to educate the user and help them safely and efficiently meet the goals they seek with their own personal recreational drug use.
When I see comments in threads regarding the more addictive drugs the majority of them are not answering the posters question, but attempting to dissuade them from use.
This, while a minor but fundamental hypocrisy in the web of this community is the exact way of looking at drugs in society that is what we are trying to change. While addiction is an extremely destructive and horrible thing, we will not achieve the reduction of negative side effects by saying "don't do that it's bad"

Remember druggit, education is the key.

My friend has done it. Mixed with dextroamphetamine, weed, and xanax. He called it the bluelight special. I've never seen a worse comedown than that...
