One thing I don't understand about Phenazepams half-life danger is that Diazepam has a longer half-life and is widely prescribed as a miracle drug. Is it solely due to the fact that Phenazepam has very powerful hypnotic, sedative and amnesiac effects that Diazepam doesn't have?

Diazepam is dispensed in accurately measured doses and rationed only to last your till your next monthly prescription. Phenazepam comes as a pure powder in the order of thousands of doses per gram. Expecting people to reliably dose out 0.25mg/0.5mg of phenazepam, and only once a week to prevent stacking, would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

Way back when I made a solution of 0.75mg/mL phenazepam/isopropyl alcohol solution. The dilution was on one hand to make sure I could accurately dose to the 0.1mg with metered syringe, on the other a deterrent because gently caress if I'm going to ever drink IPA. It was such a pain in the rear end to wait for the IPA to evaporate that I eventually just flushed the solution. I think I dosed maybe four times in the course of a year.

This was all motivated by the disasters unfolding by less cautious phen users, I doubt that everyone ordering phen has the same context of appreciation for it's ability to wreck you nor the prior knowledge that volumetric dosing it the only way to play the phen game (teh most dangerous game).

There's a lot more to go around when it comes to phenazepam, it's nothing specific to the chemical itself though, I had serious issues when I came across a steady supply of clonazepam for a few months.

Diazepam is a lot less potent on a mg basis than is phenazepam.

Yes, we do, the way we'd send deepest regards to a gun forum poster who died of an accident or a car forum poster who died in a car accident. We are aware of the risks we take on and we are very clear about them. Very few people advocate the use of phenazepam, especially on this forum. You are just trying to impress some people on the Internet by saying upsetting things to a recent widow. You can think you're as ironic as you want but that's still what you're doing. Have some decency.

So if someone dies doing something illegal we shouldn't feel any remorse? We should just all pile on a mans widow with sarcastic posts? How do you even justify something like that in your mind?

You are justifying the people who are coming in here and making GBS threads up the thread by purposely writing mean things to a dead man's widow. And your reasoning is "He did something illegal" I don't even know what would make you want to defend that position.

People who want to do drugs will do drugs. The fact that there's a place like this to get safety advice will help far more than it will harm. Indeed, like has been pointed out in the thread, the drug that killed thatdamnjew is generally discouraged on this forum anyway.

I can only represent myself. I am sad to hear of the loss of life that has occured and pain it has caused with those left behind. I am merely asking what could have been done differently on this online forum to prevent another tragedy from occurring again.

People will do drugs, but is it against forum rules for anyone to recommend the usage of the aforementioned drug? If not, it should be. I think this forum has a difference role then other forums, while other activities are dangerous, but only this forum recommends the usage of mind altering substances.

actually im deriving salient, overarching points revealing this thread as the terrible palliative practice of goons advocating a social circle which rationalizes the destruction of its own members. This thread isn't at all for the widow and implying so is rather mendacious and certainly an insult to the family and children who had no idea that daddy was being goaded into railing petrochemical byproducts by a circle of selfcongratulating mopes intent on securing an audience for their increasingly pathetic stories of self implosion

I'm not sure about how many times things are out-and-out recommended. The risks and side-effects are usually discussed openly. That said there are a few times when someone will wax lyrical about how amazing something is and completely ignore any potential problems, which isn't great.

This thread is a good example of someone going "Everyone try this drug it's so good oh my god" and most of the rest of the thread saying "Dude that poo poo will gently caress you up, here's how." Which is definitely how it should be.

Yeah I definitely agree. I've done several drugs in my life and I would never recommend them to people who have never tried them. I will however, try to help people who are already doing drugs, by giving them any knowledge or insight I have learned, in hopes of helping them be safe. It's not too often you see people in TCC just blindly advocating the use of <insert drug here>. When it does happen, it's pretty much shot down and frowned upon like you said.

I think when a user says "I don't care about dying" when referring to drug usage, there should be some red flags. There should be some probation time dealt out for that. This thread clearly illustrates as to why.

Yeah you're right there, being intentionally self-destructive is not cool at all. I've been there and the worst thing is people telling you how to be less lovely to yourself as opposed to just telling you to stop being a loving idiot.

These people are not making decisions in a vacuum. Most people, even people a few steps shy of being what we might consider "reasonable people," would err on the side of caution and choose not to ingest a weird research chemical about which they know nothing. When quasi-reasonable people go online and read a bunch of subjective trip reports from other users, they come away with the illusion that they have done their due diligence when in fact they are playing (pardon the pun) russian roulette with their health/life, irrespective of what they might have read on an internet forum.
