What are Drugs Forum groups?

Drugs Forum groups are a collection of existing members that have similar interests, common purpose, particular forum task or come from the same part of the world. Groups connect members that are dedicated or interested in a specific topic that does not have a specific forum. They also bring together members of same profession or activity. In addition, Drugs Forum groups can be joined for sharing advanced knowledge, for support (specific addiction, concerned friends and family) or for wanting to work on the same project.

Groups are not for discussion that is not about the group topic; chatroom type discussions (these can be posted in Some for all and Useless Chatter); things that belong on profiles, forums, blogs; anything in conflict with the rules; worrisome content.


There are four categories of groups and one uncategorised:
Drug-related groups - groups related to particular drugs or groups of drugs, such as Ecstasy group, Kratom group, Downers and sleeping pills group or Nootropics group

Forum crew groups - these groups are involved in carrying out particular tasks around the Drugs Forum. Forum crews range from Addiction Forums Crew to Wiki Writers group

Countries & states - here you can join your compatriots. Among the groups represented are American Members, Scottish People, Polska, Irish members, Canadians and more.

Off topic groups - this is a very broad group category, covering a large number of groups not related to drugs. Here you can join Buddhism, Chocolate Lovers Anonymous, Gamer Central, Journalists, or even Get it off your chest group

Uncategorised - everything else
