Just filled out your questionnaire mate but my puter jibbed as I completed it and cba going through it again, no offence.
As others have already said you could enhance the questionnaire by providing a ‘free’ section where people can express anything relevant not covered by your questions.
The bottom line to my answers though were that I use illicit substances daily (cannabis), and NPS/research chems on average less than once every 6 months.
The NPS I have tried include (in order of use) Methadrone (about 5 years ago when it was a legal cheap alternative to MDMA, although quickly discovered it to be more harmful and less desirable substance; tried it maybe 5-6 times in total from different sources), 5-MEO-DALT (tried once about 2 years ago, no ill effect but little positive effect either), MPA (once by itself around 2 years ago, similar results to Methadrone. Once in a bomb with MDAI, that was quite nice with no ill effect but nothing special so didn’t do it again, That was roughly 18 months ago). The final NPS I have tried is 5-meo-Mipt which I tried for the first time about a month ago. So far the only NPS that delivered the effects I wanted with no negative lashback after several consecutive weekends of moderate (20mg) doses. I will likely try this substance again. Also all but the mipt were bought from online vendors, the mipt was bought from a friend.
I will choose illicit over NPS 99% of the time because I have reliable sources who can test what I’m getting and try themselves before selling on, this means I have NEVER become ill from use of illicit substances unless it’s been my own fault, i.e. took too much or mixed with wrong chemical. I have never purchased any illicit substance that has been adulterated, guess I am lucky with my connections as I know this certainly isn’t the case for everyone. I have however both personally known people and heard many stories of people becoming quite ill (even hospitalised) after buying NPS from online vendors or street dealers.
Illegality is not a deterrent to me. At least with these long standing ‘street drugs’ we know the dangers and how to use safely. I will use drugs and that is a simple fact; no-one is ever going to stop me doing this and I’m going to choose safety (as ironic as that seems) over the enigmatic dangers of ‘research chemicals’. I’d have thought the research part would be quite indicative that nobody is sure what will happen when these substances are used. Yet people continue to do so and start dropping dead…..:rolleyes:
The government has it all wrong by allowing these dangerous, mysterious death drugs to be sold legally when the vast majority are known to be more harmful/addictive or the affects of long term use are totally unknown. By making these products easily available and socially acceptable (not to the same extent as say alcohol and tobacco (which are probably the two most dangerous products the government encourages us to consume) but you won’t get judged as much for using RCs as you would for say cocaine) they are probably causing more unnecessary deaths than if they legalised illicit substances, provided they also taught how to use safely. Rather than the retarded current educational system of illegal drugs are bad, stay away.
I’m having a good ol’ rant here but know I’m wasting my time because the government can’t even openly admit the medicinal properties of marijuana. So will they ever go back on their word and legalise it? Will they fuck because the government are a bunch of pussy shitbags that just pass responsibility and blame and rarely attempt to directly tackle a problem. And those that do speak out usually get ousted or used as a scape goat.
Just for the record too I may smoke weed on a near daily basis (I have bipolar disorder and find this keeps me more stable than any NHS treatment offered so far) but I certainly don’t consider it a wonder drug. It has had an obvious negative effect on my respiratory health and my memory is fucked. Perhaps the memory part though could be rectified if I was given a specially cultivated medicinal strain? Then again maybe not.
Hmm seems it would have been quicker to recomplete the questionnaire lol.
