I found a lot of amazing authors [in the Sherlock fandom], and a lot of amazing fic, but I also found a lot of harmful stereotypes about drug users. ... The idea of a loved one kidnapping a drug user, locking them up in their apartment or whatever until they detox, the idea that this is for their own good; the idea that a character needs to refuse medically necessary pain medication; you know, casually using the word ‘junkie.’ And I guess I would say, like, I know that these are tropes and stereotypes that are all over pop culture, and have been for decades, so what I would want would be that people would be aware, and then they could tag things properly, and then I wouldn’t necessarily stumble into things that were untagged.

THE DRUG USERS BIBLE: THE END OF THE JOURNEY The complete version of The Drug Users Bible has now been published: and this definitely is the final cut. I’m getting too old for the constant drug touring, and the ride cannot go on for ever.

For this edition I added an extra 25 psychoactives, bringing the total to 182. These were:

3-MMC       a-PHP         Carisoprodol Zopiclone Sentia       3-HO-PCP Snus 5-MeO-DMT Modafinil   Sananga Ginseng Green Tea Horny Goat Weed Yerba Mate Cacao DOM   Chamomile TMA Hops Mullein Saffron 5-HTP Mad Honey Essential Oils 1cP-LSD  

Some of these were definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel but I had to cover them for some sort of completeness (at least in terms of common perception).

Various sections were also substantially expanded, some new segments were added, and a significant number of previous reports were extended/improved or added to. The new page count is 636, making it literally a weighty tome.

More information is available on the book’s website (www.DrugUsersBible.com)or on Amazon (www.amazon.com/dp/0995593698/).  

Finally, my 12 year journey has ended, but it isn’t the end of the road. I will continue to ‘research’, to post on parts of social media, and attempt to disseminate harm reduction information wherever and whenever I can.  You haven’t heard the last of me.

Regarding the book, I hope it continues to be a useful resource in preventing tragedy, both now and long after I have shuffled off this mortal coil.

Finally, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions or post comments, or most of all, if you ever need help and you think I can assist, drop me a private message. Stay safe.

The Stigmatization of Drug Users: The Importance of a Compassionate Approach for Human Rights and Well-being

The stigmatization and marginalization of drug users refers to the negative attitudes, stereotypes, and discrimination that individuals who use drugs often face in society. This stigma can be attributed to various factors, including misconceptions about drug addiction, moral judgments, fear, and lack of understanding. However, it is important to recognize the need for a compassionate approach…

People who use drugs deserve love and kindness.

Abstinence is not the only form of recovery. AA/NA doesn’t work for everyone. Sometimes people choose to use instead of meeting other needs, which is valid. Some people use for recreational purposes. Some people use for medicinal purposes. Some people who use have substance abuse disorder. Treatment looks different for everyone. Not everyone needs or wants treatment, for various reasons. The only thing Naloxone enables is breathing. Active use is not shameful. People who use drugs often also deal drugs. People in recovery should not shame active users. Active users deserve love. Active users deserve someone to check in on them, get them safer use supplies, and get them pizza. Active users deserve to be listened to. They deserve better than to have that be the first time anyone ever treated them as human since they began using.

Let’s care for each other.

Research first published informally by Vancouver’s Drug User Liberation Front has now been published in a peer-reviewed international journal. DULF bought heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine from online sources known to sell purer forms of these drugs, rigorously tested the drugs and then sold them at cost to its 47 compassion club members. Members lived in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside neighbourhood, were 19 years old and up, were members of a drug user group in Vancouver and were at high risk of overdose. The study, published recently in the International Journal of Drug Policy, found the 47 compassion club members were less likely to die from overdose while they were able to access this safer supply.

The inherent racialization and xenophobia of USAmerican anti-drug laws in general, but especially in the American Southwest, was always going to be something Breaking Bad inherited, and is Honestly, in my Latin opinion, not something it necessarily handles with a lot of grace. I understand that brba is not About that, it's not one of the themes, but it's still there, because you cannot talk about the drug trade in any even semi-serious context without talking about race and class, even if it's not intentional. In general I think brba is more sympathetic towards drug users and more critical towards the police institution than a lot of other shows of a similar vein, but there's still a very clear throughline of "dangerous" Latin America and Latinos, particularly Mexico and Mexicans. I know this is the "white gay people talking about how great 'Problematic Representation' is" website, and that a post about, well, "problematic representation" will probably fall on deaf ears, but when almost All of the lead characters in your show are white, and the main Hispanic characters are a bunch of Mexican drug lords, a Chilean drug lord, and a cop who gets to be One Of The Good Ones by working against The Bad Ones, people (me) are allowed to notice that lol. Obviously I love the show, this isn't a condemnation of it, but it is something that stood out to me and should be allowed to be critiqued lol

#open mick night #breaking bad #brba #boricuaisms #like idk it sticks out to me that the drug users who get to be the most sympathetic are white lmao

i'm saying it. i don't think joly would work in a hospital. i think his medical career would be informed by his politics + radicalisation and his + his friends regular drug use, he would be outraged at how the medical industry handles drug users, also at the medical industrial complex in general, so he would find a reputable community led harm reduction organisation to work for 🫶🏻

#joly #it also works because the idea that modern les amis wouldn't all have a million jobs and volunteer roles in community organising #and you know... do direct community action to support people... instead of just little hypothetical meetings where they debate hypothetical #problems.... #that idea is so bullshit and i know it's written by people who only have indoor people problems and don't realise most radicals actually do #things... but still it annoys me #and he would hate working in a hospital #not that the harm reduction work wouldn't be stressful and high intensity too but he would rather it for the love of community #also it wouldn't be hard because as a disabled person he would already be radicalised against doctors and medical industry in general #les amis #les mis #mine #i realise as a disabled drug using cane user i could #write joly really really well #the best joly scene is in world ain't ready where in one scene he's so excited for the battle of the bands dancing around yelling and stuff #then they pick him up and he's like 'tonight is a sitting night' URGH that's so real it almost made me cry #anyway joly feelings good morning
