I am almost ashamed to admit I have read these forums for years as a sort of exercise in voyeuristic schadenfreude. I just love reading about drug culture, watching drug movies, etc. Just like I love gangster movies. I can't explain it. A few things I have learned:
/r/glassine is probably the most interesting. They rate heroin bags in the Pittsburg area. It's supposed to be for everywhere, but it's mostly Pennsylvania
/r/opiates is a place where addicts confide in each other and practice harm reduction. They do not source. They tell hilarious, sad, amazing stories. Lots of personal confessions and "whole life of an addict" style narratives. Overall, a good community for addicts to find a safe space, instead of a place that hounds them for not being in recovery.
/r/stims is where the meth heads hang out. Occasionally you get these great "I'm on meth and here's everything in my mind right now" text barfs, but mostly I feel like this is an empty sub
/r/researchchemicals is where people discuss Shulgin chemicals and beyond.
/r/drugnerds is amazing. Papers. Lots of them.
/r/drugporn is where people post photos of their drugs, and then a week later the picture is taken down because Missoula Police saw it and arrested them through the GPS sig in the photo.
/r/noids is where people discuss synthetic cannabinoids, which are horrible. Never use these.
The rabbit hole goes very, very deep. Check /r/DarkNetMarkets/

- provemewrong 9y agoMe too. Besides what you mentioned, I'm particularly fond of /r/mdma, /r/psychonaut and /r/rationalpsychonaut (for discussions about psychedelics sans spirituality and religion). Also /r/nootropics. And /r/drugs in general. Don't forget /r/trees, which is of course the gateway subreddit, but it's rather boring in comparison.
- Grangar 9y ago/r/cocaine is another pretty decent one. Mostly people posting pics of lines but there's the occasional announcement of quitting where people get really supportive
- draw_down 9y agoTrees is just a bunch of people posting their bowls and where they toked up on a hike. A lot of them likely live in legalized states. I'd say not even close. (The "gateway" thing was a nice touch though.)
- collyw 9y agoTry some trip reports for Datura on Erowid. Interesting and scary. A substance that I don't need to try.
- rmetzler 9y agor/trees often has stories about people getting clean from heroin and opiates by smoking cannabis. One example is this story, but you should be able to find many more: https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/6oq6pp/clean_from_heroin_and_xanax_for_6_months_thanks/ https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/6oq6pp/clean_from_he...
