Bluelight.org is an online community, research portal, and non-profit organization dedicated to harm reduction. We aim to advance the health and wellbeing of people who use psychoactive drugs. We also work with researchers to advance research on substance use.

Bluelight has been at the forefront of harm reduction in the global drug use community since 1999. Best known for our online forum, we provide people who use drugs a safe space to share, explore and receive relevant information, all aimed at reducing harm through drug use.

Our forum and online platforms are formed of a broad mix of individuals all with varying drug related experiences. Our long-standing history brings an extensive archive of information, insights and supportive groups.

Unlike many harm reduction organizations, we openly welcome collaboration with research organizations. These partnerships provide an opportunity for our community to inform and participate in research that further supports people who use drugs, provides better recovery options, and provides real world insights about drug use.

Bluelight has partnered with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) since 2013. MAPS is our fiscal sponsor, which allows us to collect tax deductible donations in the US. In 2023, the Australian charity Bluelight Communities Ltd was formed. This charity now governs Bluelight’s activities, ensuring security for our ongoing operations and future endeavors.
