The drugs existed in a legal grey zone in the US, and became fairly common on the crustier margins of the UK rave scene at that time. [...] If you're still determined to use these or other equally potent drugs, then read Erowid.org, properly."
Feb 25 Web Psychedelic Afterlife? Researchers Determine Which Hallucinogenic 'Trip' is Most Similar to the Near-Death Experience Daily Grail "But a new study - 'Neurochemical models of near-death experiences: A large-scale study based on the semantic similarity of written reports' - has set out to quantify the possible links by comparing a bunch of NDE accounts (625) with a huge number of 'trip reports' (more than 15,000) 'spanning experiences with 165 psychoactive substances of ten different pharmacological classes'. Contributing authors on the study include experts in both fields who readers of this site would be familiar with - including NDE researcher Bruce Greyson, and Earth and Fire Erowid whose Erowid website was used as the source for the trip reports."

Feb 22 Journal Massive Comparison Of Narrative Accounts Finds Ketamine Trips Are Remarkably Similar to Near Death Experiences (NDEs), Supporting The Neurochemical Model Of NDEs The British Psychological Society Research Digest. "To date, however, much of the evidence comparing near death experiences and psychedelic trips has been anecdotal or it's been based on questionnaire measures that arguably struggle to capture the complexity of these life-changing experiences. Pursuing this line of enquiry with a new approach, an international team of researchers led by Charlotte Martial at the University Hospital of Li�ge has conducted a deep lexical analysis, comparing 625 written narrative accounts of near death experiences with more than 15,000 written narrative accounts of experiences taking psychoactive drugs (sourced from the Erowid Experience vaults), including 165 different substances in 10 drug classes.

The analysis, published in Consciousness and Cognition, uncovered remarkable similarities between the psychological effects of certain drugs -- most of all ketamine, but also notably the serotonergic psychedelic drugs like LSD. "

Feb 12 Journal Taking Ketamine Can Feel a Lot Like a Near-Death Experience Vice: Tonic, by Shayla Love "In a new study in Consciousness and Cognition, Tagliazucchi and his colleagues tried to determine which psychedelic drug most closely resembles an NDE. They looked at more than 15,000 reports of experiences with 165 psychoactive substances, compared them to 625 descriptions of NDEs, then used algorithms to detect similarities in the topics mentioned by both groups. They found that while psychedelics like mushrooms and LSD are up there in how close they mirror NDEs, they didn't come in first place. Instead, it was ketamine that ranked the highest, followed by the plant Salvia divinorum."

They are proto-versions of Internet forums like Bluelight and Erowid, accounts of wonder, awe, and love." [...] "From the online communities of drug geeks that were formed during the nineteen-nineties, a group of organizations had coalesced, dedicated to correcting what they saw as the worst errors of American drug policy, including the failures of the 'war on drugs': DanceSafe, the Drug Policy Alliance, the Council on Spiritual Practices, the research think tank the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and the encyclopedic drug Web site Erowid (which I wrote about here), among others. These formed the foundation of what is now known as the enlightened drug movement, a multipronged approach to reevaluating America's legal, medical, educational, and social relationship to psychoactive chemicals."

While there were plenty of websites dedicated to cannabis in 2001 and 2002, Erowid was, and remains, one of the best sources for information on drugs. The thing that makes Erowid so great is that it provides real information from real people about their experiences with various drugs, including dosages, effects, and experiences. [...]

Would I have tried cannabis without the internet? Definitely, but using the web to learn about drugs was an invaluable resource that was not available elsewhere. I consider myself lucky for landing on Erowid, and not a forum with irresponsible users suggesting people us harder drugs."

He recommends the website Erowid, an online library of information about psychoactive substances, including personal experience reports. You can sort 'trip reports' on the site by two substances in order to see how people have responded to specific combinations.

The drug gurus at Erowid note that although LSA is legally considered a depressant, it's notably also 'a very active hallucinogen/psychedelic.' It's thought to be somewhere between one-tenth and one-twentieth as powerful as LSD, but because the dose of the compound present in plant seeds varies, it's easy to overdo it. Erowid notes that a 'starting dose' is typically 4-5 Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds or 20-25 morning glory seeds (seasoned recreational users take anywhere from 100-400 of the latter). Some users distill LSA out of the seeds using solvents such as methanol, ether, and dicholoromethane - potentially dangerous chemicals that can compound the drug's effects."

[...] Unlikely as the probability for effectively interrupting the effects following the ingestion of cannabis seems, a very reasoned process for effective ingestion of cannabis-containing products has been published on the EROWID web site which they have entitled "L.E.S.S." Perhaps, this is one instance where LESS is likely more! We further afford an interpretation of this "L.E.S.S." process as follows : A low percent-THC cannabis product is ingested regularly (about every 30 minutes) to establish effects for at least two hours, then supplemented slowly.

But circumstances were coming together in a way that nobody could have predicted. [Erowid Note: Bluelight as a forum was not actually present as a part of the online drug information scene in 1998.

Many of them noted that the drug took longer to take effect than pure MDMA, and later manifested symptoms that seemed uncharacteristic of ecstasy.

'I tried dancing to some trance that we had playing, but I did not want to listen to music, and dancing made me feel sick', one user wrote on the site. 'I figured it was just a lot of caffeine or something, until I looked at my bulletin board on my wall. I saw words, but somehow I just couldn't read them. ... Suddenly I felt extremely feverish and wanted more than anything to take off all my clothes and cover myself in ice.'"

Erowid, the nonprofit dedicated to educating users on psychoactive drugs and plants, also manages the site EcstasyData.org. Users can anonymously submit ecstasy (in tablet or powder form) to the DEA-licensed laboratory for testing. EcstasyData then publishes the findings on the website along with photos. Given their illicit nature, drugs like MDMA are not necessarily subject to the same stringent standards that other drugs are subject to. For this reason, the founders emphasized the importance of "knowing what you're getting." In the crowded ballroom, Earth and Fire Erowid were met with electric applause. A few even sprang out of their seats for standing ovations. Earth and Fire used their clout and time to discuss drug awareness and presented compelling evidence on the rapidly changing drug industry. During a lecture on the infamous bath salt face-eating zombie uproar last year, they cautioned that a "poorly-functioning media" was willing to quote any authority tangentially related to the topic at hand. They also pointed to a startling number of new drugs emerging each week: 2012 boasted 73 new drugs. "Knowing what the dosages are is a big issue," the pair said."

[...] After insuffation, the perceived effects can be delayed for 30 to 90 min (Erowid 2010). This delay has often led recreational users to ingest another dose of the substance (Erowid 2011), thinking that the first dose was inadequate. The duration of action has been described as being in the range of 5-7 h (Bluelight 2010; Erowid, 2010; 2011).

Proposals that the systematic assessment of firstperson reports of drug use episodes from online drug encyclopedias (e.g., "trip reports" on http://www.erowid.org) could identify sentinel drug use events have not borne fruit. For a number of reasons (e.g., a fraction of the trip reports submitted to online encyclopedias are selected for release, Webmasters stop releasing reports related to some common drugs, and submissions are edited by the Web site staff), online encyclopedias cannot provide systematic surveillance data on drug use behaviors."
