That being said, please limit yourself to one substance at a time, get some fentanyl test strips and narcan if you're able, and always have a wingman with you. Assuming it's possible where you live, buy your drugs from a regulated dispensary or at least a source you know and trust (whose source they trust).

Have fun, but stay safe. The times they are a changing...even weed has dangerous shit mixed in nowadays.

That's my drug advice from a rando on a lemmy.

I mean , you can’t exactly go ask a doctor how to use lsd. Sometimes you just want to read up on something based on someone else’s personal experience. The website might be doing some dumb shit lately but it’s hard to replace the vast number of people who have answered exact questions you’re looking for. Lemmy just doesn’t have the 10+ year head start

You absolutely can

You can totally ask a good doctor that. They'll likely say something along the lines of "don't do drugs...but if you're still gonna do this..."

Problem is, many otherwise good doctors are not very knowledgeable about illicit drugs, particularly those that are comparatively rare/aren't a public health crisis (LSD, while popular, is kinda niche compared to meth and opioids).

A big chunk of the time you're just going to get "Don't use drugs", simply because they don't have much else to say about it, and don't want you taking risks based on something they've said. Doesn't mean don't ask*, but know you may not get useful harm reduction information from Dr. F. Practitioner.

*That said there IS a risk that such a question can paint you as a potential drug seeker, and so create barriers to care if someone decides to add that to your chart when you were just trying to minimize risk.
