Best site ever for real information

Best site ever to just be you and talk to your peers about your own use or get real honest advice on what your doing from folks who have truly been there or are still there. Best thing of the site is no one judges or puts you down. we all have a great Mountain in our lives to navigate up over under or through the middle and I would say there are the occasional no patience approach but mainly from users who are posting while doing or they’ve so high they become hard to work with or understand but in the end the same group of people are doing their best to help you or just be a good listener to maybe more. Thanks to Alfa who runs a great site. Thx.

This website informs and saves

This website informs, and supports those in recovery. It is one of the very few places that is nonjudgmental towards active users and gives them the knowledge on how to use safely. Education on harm reduction given there has saved lives. My life being one of them. If people are going to use drugs anyway why not educate them on how o do it safely and prevent injury or death ? I think that this website is essential, and is doing a wonderful service to the active and inactive drug community. Wish I could give 6 stars.

I am getting a real education in a wide variety of subjects.

The admins are awesome and very helpful, as I messed up my registration they have spent a lot of time helping me fix it. They rock. The site is very informative and with a huge amount of experts in many disciplines. I've found the discussions both interesting and educational.

Drugs Forum: Honesty, Safety and non-judgemental answers!

In a world that loves to shame drug use and experimentation, DF is a life saving beacon for any one needing honest answers to questions they've become afraid to ask. No judgement, just safety and to the point, honest answers!

Let's be honest - drugs are out there and people are going to use them. This is a place that people can come to get info that may save their lives. The main focus here is harm reduction, how to prevent harm and help on what to do if you're having drug related health concerns.
There's also a large, caring community of people who are getting clean that really do support and communicate with one another throughout the journey to sobriety and staying clean.

I'm all for it! I urge parent's,
siblings, friends,spouses and friends of users to check DF for help and support, too.
People don't often seem to see it this way, but I want anyone I care about, be it my nieces and nephews, or anyone experimenting with drugs to be able to have free access to DF because if they have chosen to use they will! I want them to know how to use as safely as possible and this is the only resource I've found that takes my point of view seriously.

Ditch the useless shaming and harm causing lies. Use the vast information in the DF site to get you through what you're going through as safely and healthily as possible. Mind, body and soul!

I was curious about the effects of my medication, and how it reacts to my cannabis use. Drugs forum had a ton of great resources for it, and so much to learn. I actually spent many hours reading the seemingly endless info they had which didn't even pertain to my medicine. They are all about harm reduction and drug education. They also have support forums for anyone struggling with addiction. 10/10 would recommend.

Filling a very necessary need

This website has is so valuable; there are topics ranging from recovery from various chemical addictions to information on rehab facilities to experience reports on different substances or combinations of substances to news articles from around the world about drugs, addiction, recovery, and drug law to scientific studies on the effects of various substances on subjects in different situations. Anyone can use the forum search engine to locate an answer to their questions or become a member and create a thread themselves for the community to answer using their own personal experience with the substance in question, peer-reviewed scientific/medical studies, and/or previously posted relevant threads on the site. Personally, I have found the social aspect of this site to be particularly helpful to me; as a closet drug user, it is difficult for me to speak openly about my use or anything related to it, but on drugs-forum, I can not only be completely honest, but I can receive useful feedback from other members and highly necessary advice and encouragement on my attempts at recovery. This site is moderated by knowledgeable, compassionate people who know how harm reduction can be life and death in the world of drug use and recovery. I have never seen another site like this in my life, and I've been using drugs-forum as a resource for 10 years now.

Best resource for drug info and support

Drug-forum is hands down and without a doubt the absolute best resource on the net for information, support and guidance regarding drugs themselves and the people who use them. It’s invaluable and unique in every category, and warmly welcomes everyone from every background. It’s members are knowledgeable and give expert advice and recommendations. There is little doubt as well that the site is responsible for saving not a few lives. Top notch.

Drugs-Forum is a site focused on harm reduction and recovery for current/former drug users as well as concerned friends and family. A diverse membership offers insight to all aspects of drug use, addiction and recovery.

A close knit community of caring individuals support those who seek recovery. Members are non judgmental and educate users to practice safety when using drugs. Drug testing and harm reduction techniques are discussed many times each day.

Rules forbidding illegal activity are strictly enforced. Respect for all members is required to participate in the forum. Moderation is constant and those who choose to break the rules are permanently banned from the group.

There is no doubt about it, this site saves lives. Anyone who is interested in learning about addiction should take a look at the sites collection of journals. Members document how drugs have affected their lives and their struggles to recover from addiction.

I highly recommend browsing this forum.

Best forum for addiction help and harm reduction!

I came to this site seven years ago with addiction questions and help. What I found was so much more. The DF community is supportive and helpful with their wisdom and experiences. There is absolutely no judgement from members. They don't tell members not to do drugs but instead offer true harm reduction.

This site has the latest scientific studies that you can download and discuss with the forum. All misinformation is rated negatively and is corrected by a more knowledgeable member. This site has a community that respects one another and is life saving in certain situations. I was able to stop opiates/opioids with the support of people that have already succeeded.

This is the best place to get accurate information about drugs both legal and illicit and doesn't perpetuate myths and misinformation about drug use and drug users. This is what the internet was created for. A true Information Age here on drugs-forum. Thank you for saving my life from addiction!

Drugs-Forum is unique in all of the…

Drugs-Forum is unique in all of the internet. There is really nothing else quite like it. The site is aimed to help people withdraw from addictive drugs if they want to, or if they choose to go on using, to clue them in to safe practices: harm reduction. The Forum is fiercely loyal to its members and friends, and will stick with a drug-using person all the way through his or her entire process.

Counseling for family members of addicts is also very popular, as a lot of people have no one to talk to about these issues, and may feel very isolated. We provide them with an eager audience, and the benefit of our cumulative years of experience. On the Forum, we occasionally have doctors, nurses, pharmacists, pharmaceutical experts, mental health workers, and other professionals who are often of great help.

Much of the membership also consists of long-term drug users who have already "cleaned up their act." Their qualifications are their fantastic amount of first-hand experience, which they are willing to share in an open and trusting manner.

The management of Drugs-Forum is impeccable. Most of the time, they are invisible to us, but they are constantly on the job ensuring that no false information is transmitted, that no one "spams" anyone else, that inappropriate material is not posted, and that scientific information can be backed up by reputable and accurate sources.

This site gets approximately 4 million hits a month, which is a big sign that we must be doing something right.

So if your question is a huge one, like "How can I get off opiates permanently," or a small one like "It is okay to double the amount of opiate pills that my doctor gave me when I am in unusual pain," visit Drugs-Forum. We will gladly help you!
