Community Rules
1. Zero judgement
No shaming anyone's substance use, recovery timeline, or chosen path. Harm reduction means meeting people where they are.
2. No glorifying or triggering content
Don't romanticise substance use or post detailed descriptions of use that could trigger others.
3. Safer use information only
Sharing harm reduction strategies is encouraged. Sharing sources, suppliers, or how-to guides for obtaining substances is strictly prohibited.
4. Respect all recovery models
12-step, SMART Recovery, harm reduction, medication-assisted treatment – all valid. No 'one true path'.
5. Crisis protocol
If someone appears to be in immediate danger, direct them to emergency services. Do not attempt to manage a crisis via posts.
