The forum's aim is to preach and encourage "Harm Minimisation" principles and practices.
If you take drugs then you already know how what society thinks of people like you, me, us ... but you owe it yourself and those who follow to challenge those views.
I absolutely expect to see most drugs decriminalised in someway or another; it may take some time and it's people like us who are on the front line.
If you can remove any criminality from your lifestyle, apart from simple possession and self administration, you have nothing to fear.
In fact, signing up to this forum is your declaration of such ... we are shaping the future of drug use in the western world so I encourage you to own your drug use and / or just simply promote healthy practices.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to get stoned and getting the most out of your drugs ... own your drug use and stand proud by doing it the best and safest way possible.
I have used drugs for over 36 years and have NO criminal record ... I haven't hidden my drug use nor have I ever felt victimised by "the system", and here I am, trying to encourage other users to follow.
Yes, I have been fortunate too but then again, I stick to a tight code of ethics; if it feels wrong then don't do it !
However, if you'd rather just watch from the sidelines then don't blame us if the rate of change and acceptance is moving far too slow.
it's your life -- choose wisely ... it's one fat ironic conflict of interest.
take the money out of it and it becomes more manageable.
one day, one day, hope it goes that way ...
