To all you experimenting drugs users out there
Please. Please. Please. Stay away from heroin and meth. Please.
Don’t say “I just wanna try it once, I can control myself.” Don’t say it.
Just please don’t ever do those two drugs. Please.
Please
THISSSSSS
also stay way from Molly and ecstasy. they are drugs found usually at raves and clubs and when taken cause the “happiness receptors” in your brain to be destroyed and can never be fixed meaning you will never feel happy again unless you take the drug again, which leads to dependence and overdose. these drugs also cause hyperthermia which causes your body to heat up at an alarming rate. seriously stay away from these.
We need more of these posts, educating us that not all drugs are harmful. We need more posts that give us information on safe environments for drug users, and what to do if something does go wrong. We need to be told how to safely do these drugs. Telling someone not to do drugs will just harm them more. I’d rather know how to do a certain drug safely than be oblivious and be severely harmed.
I can agree with the first part, H and Meth are a road better left untraveled. I have a couple of friends who have kicked heroin addiction and say it was the worst idea they ever had, the ones who couldn’t kick it are dead.
The post about Molly and Ecstasy is ridiculous and sounds like it was written by a 13 year old with X’s on the back of their hands. Your serotonin production get diminished for about a day, which does generally lead to a gloomy feeling, but it’s not a permanent condition. Hyperthermia is real, but not a guaranteed effect as it affects everyone differently. I overheat every time I do Ecstasy, which is why I wont take it, but I’m also 130lbs with a very high metabolism, not a prime candidate for taking speed.
For those who are curious, here’s some real advice on social drug use….
Know Your Dealer - Buying drugs you’ve never taken off of someone you’ve never met is just stupid. Buying drugs you have taken off of someone you don’t know is also risky, but if you’re careful it generally works out. A lot of times people will try to sell you one thing by saying it’s something else. It’s usually bad product that they can’t get rid of. Other people will straight rip you off. You know how easy it is to fake a hit of blotter? It’s literally a piece paper.
Know Your Limits - I had a friend who used to go crazy with Acid, taking waaay more than was necessary. One day he took an insane dose and got arrested because he was found groping women in the park. There’s a point with all drugs at which you lose control of yourself, your limit is well before that point. And with certain drugs, there is no chance to learn from your mistakes.
Don’t Do It Alone - Particularly with psychedlics, it’s good to have a trip-sitter, someone who is sober and can drive you around and make sure you don’t do anything too stupid. With rave drugs it’s also good to have someone in case you overheat, and again, to make sure you don’t do anything stupid.
Don’t Show Off - Nobody worth a shit cares how much booze you can drink, how many hits of acid you can eat, or how much weed you can smoke. If anything, they’ll shake their head at the total waste. And believe me, there is such a thing as too high
and most importantly DON’T TRY A DRUG UNLESS YOU FEEL READY TO TRY THE DRUG. Don’t ever let someone pressure you into taking something. Nobody else knows when it’s the right time for you, and being scared or filled with doubt will generally end up bad. A lot of people will try new things at concerts or festivals, which is very risky. I recommend testing yourself under a controlled situation before throwing yourself into a crowd of 30,000 people with a head full of chemicals you’re not familiar with.

Good post except for the first bit about molly. That’s……… that’s not how it works…
Don’t do drugs errybody. I’ve lost years of my life and multiple loved ones to them. There are way better ways to spend your time and money, I PROMISE. And if you are gonna do drugs, do your damn research and use as many harm
reduction methods as possible! Just because they are overly stigmatized in our society does not mean they can’t genuinely fuck your entire shit up.
Also, in the event of a serious disaster–a really bad reaction, an overdose, etc–DO call the paramedics and DO tell them whatever you can about what drugs were involved. The EMTs are not going to hand you over to the cops, but some drugs interact very badly with other necessary medical drugs, and some overdoses are treatable while others are limited supportive care (oxygen, etc). They are legally not permitted to call the cops on you. Please tell them what you know so that they know what they’re dealing with.
