As of 2013, Bluelight has partnerships with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), an organization focused on clinical research on psychedelic drugs,[1] and Pill Reports, a web-based database for pill testing results, with direct links to both organizations in the forums listing on the Bluelight home page.[2][non-primary source needed]
Academic research assistance[edit]
Bluelight has mentions in several formal publications.[3][4][5][6]
Researchers sometimes use web forums such as Bluelight and Reddit to learn more about illicit drug use.[7] Individual users use it to share information and ask questions.[8]
