I can understand the slippery slope of allowing people to share their self medication stories. Mine is cigarettes and coffee, and I’m not recommending it to others, it’s just how I cope. And I don’t think many would have an issue with that specific comment, but, if someone keeps recommending a dark web site to buy Crystal meth, and claiming that it’s cured them, I don’t think that’s a message we want to be sharing with desperate or curious people looking for answers and support. Or if people start pushing their essential oils and magic potions as a substitute for actual medical advice, then this community can no longer be trusted to give honest information.
This. As an addict I wouldn’t wish this hell on anyone. Speak to a doctor, get properly measured doses. Scientifically figure out what works and doesn’t work for you.
