Replacing drug addiction with more drugs racism with more racism population control by abortion and the mutilation of kids is fascism at its worse and these agendas are not new they are typical marxist divide and conquer agendas designed to destroy communities that they see as needing to be rebuilt into their demented utopian worldview of what communities should be.

Just look at the worries the WEF have been talking about and their proposed solutions the WEF and the EU are rising fascist dictatorships full stop. The wish to legalise drugs to the populations is only a small part of their agenda lets get it straight these people want to world as their playground and us as their servants period. Look at the countries where drug laws have been relaxed has their drug problem get better? Some of the most liberal countries have the highest rate of youth suicide on the planet should we no be asking why instead of looking to destroy more lives? I feel for todays kids the adult that have a duty to protect them and give them a voice have completely abandoned them to the worst influences and reprobates in our counties and our communities. Shame on every one of them these so called adults are so tied up with their own psychotic narcissistic egotistical demented lifestyles they are now a threat to not just our younger generations but to our countries and communities they are cowards of the worst kind that have abandoned their duty to be real men and many of todays women are no better and in many cases worse. ODs and other scary situations will stop when our governments stop pushing the agendas that cause them those that are pushing the safe drug taking narrative are those that caused the problem in the first place now they can see a massive profit in controlling it they are just as much drug dealers than the criminal drug dealers we see on our streets. Fortunately the tide is slowly turning people are as a result of the pandemic waking up to the control freaks in our world no that it is hitting them hard they understand those once called conspiracy theorists are now being shown to have been absolutely correct all along.

Had a great time because: *high as balls* but it was a such a bizzare experience. First 2 hours felt like i was watching a movie through my own eyes and that i was just along for the ride. Broke myself out of it by slapping myself in the face, drinking a gallon of milk, doing pushups and then going to sleep. Pushups and pushing myself to failure made me feel like i was back in control again.

I brought his book, and I highly recommend it, it is one of the best books about drug safety

I am looking forward to a world where most people, most of the time, can make well informed, conscious choices around when, where, how and if to use drugs without being criminalised, stigmatised or judged as "less than".

Excellent work! Harm reduction is paramount. Alcohol is the drug which caused me the most problems because, when the police came to the school and told us all how drugs are bad and that they would kill you and ruin your life, they failed to mention that alcohol is one of the most dangerous around. Yet it is legal, is advertised, showing people having a good time, and is also socially and culturally encouraged. Harm reduction is key, given that people are always going to have a desire to alter their consciousness - the task at hand is to take drugs out of the black market to end the violence, provide legally and ethically sourced, pharmaceutical grade drugs to addicts so that they don't have to buy dangerous, potentially contaminated drugs on the streets made by manufacturers and distributed by dealers who don't care about the welfare of addicts or users (look at the opioid crisis in the USA and Canada, with fentanyl etc.) - and so they don't have to beg or steal to feed their habit. Also, drugs like MDMA should be able to be legally sourced for people who use the drug at raves and who lead normal, functioning lives, because you never know what is in those pills or if those crystals are MDMA, given the same reasons mentioned above about the black market manufacturers and dealers. It is a complicated and controversial conclusion, but it is the only way to help addicts in dire situations but also to help functional, recreational drug users do so without risk of harm. And treatment must always be available for people who have issues relating to drugs - psychosocial treatment, which is attached to mental health services (the latter is especially crucial for addicts, given that most addictions are related to trauma in a person's early life).

My favorite form of harm reduction is knowledge. He is absolutely right ignorance kills!

Thank you Dominic, people need to have all the facts! They always tell us how bad drugs are but the problem for me was they never told me how good they were. I was addicted to meth for a few years and alcohol for longer. plus the odd pills here and there and then some but I hope this book gets to many people! Cheers brother man!

Wow... it's not every day I come across someone that's done more drugs than me. I don't know the exact number, as I've relied on the black market for most of my use aaaaaand you don't always get what they tell you you're getting... but I've for sure tried over 100. Honestly, I'm lucky to be alive. ALWAYS TEST YOUR SUPPLY! I don't do hard drugs any longer. I stick to thc concentrates and an annual meditation session on mushrooms. It'd be neat to have a cup of coffee and smoke a joint with this guy... trade stories.

What a hero man.

I wish someone had thought of doing this sooner, it would have saved thousands of not millions of lives. We all know someone who’s been affected by uneducated drug use sadly. I’m not a big drug user myself, only using cannabis sometimes and I very rarely drink. But it’s good to know the knowledge is out there if I ever did want to try something or know someone who wants to try something.

Damn, I went to UCLA to study microbiology and then had a revelation back in 2011 and basically embarked on… the same mapping journey! Nice to see a fellow psychonaut had done all the tedious work somewhere else in the matrix and neatly packaged it 🤗

As someone who has also had lots of illicit drug experiences, I find the research and preparation part very enjoyable. You are more likely to have a good, safe experience armed with knowledge and confidence.

As evidenced by him being a programmer that developed his own internet startup and taking the time to research and study these drugs. Not every has the same inhibitions that allow them to do something like take a highly addictive drug safely. I'm suggesting, for some people intention, knowledge, and will is not enough to avoid overdosing.

Dominic, a great sequel would be drug interactions. Combining drugs sometimes produces radically different effects - sometimes for the better and sometimes the worse. The vast majority of "drug related deaths" are the consequence of drug interactions, not overdoses. In some cases the sametwo drugs will interact differently depending on how you ingest them and that even catches experienced people by surprise: for example, psychedelics plus cannabis - smoked versus eaten. DONT eat dope cake when you're tripping but smoking helps chill you out (if you smoke already). However I definitely don't suggest you write such a book by combining them yourself - just collect and catalogue the experiences of others. Given the death toll of drug combinations this would be an extremely valuable work and so far as I know nobody has done it before.

The BNF (British National Formulary) is a great resource for checking drug interactions, though there are other online services which can be used to check. I had a hard copy when I was studying pharmacology at uni, though it's useful to note it's always being updated. A knowledge of pharmacy to gauge whether a certain drug is similar in function & mechanism to a prescribed one helps a lot, but I know most people won't have the knowledge to go with it, & even for those who do there can be unforeseen interactions/consequences. Still, being informed is a very good way to save lives.

This is such an interesting topic. The ancients knew a lot about all these and used them regularly. And built some of the greatest structures the world has ever seen.

Appreciate this work, the time and dedication a project like this must be to take on. This information is truly so valuable in a landscape that is so stigmatizing to people who use drugs. Policy failure fuels the conditions that leave people increasingly vulnerable to these fatal mistakes. I find it to be the biggest offender in drug user deaths by not allowing access to necessary equipment a/o safety protocols and resources. It has always been people who use drugs takings care of each other like how you demonstrate in this book. I have started reading the Drug User Bible and perhaps it is included more explicitedly in there. Regardless I am so excited and appreciative of this huge commitment and foundation you laid out. I work in harm reduction in the United States, in a part of the Country that only recently passed legislation allowing certain harm reduction services to become more accessible. I can only imagine how long something like this took you in terms of hours spent. Thank you.

Just make sure you know what your doing, be in a safe and calm environment or with friends etc, and make sure your mentally ok to take it to prevent bad trips or addiction.

@@Ensource Generally speaking tolerance builds fast with psychedelics, and for as much fun as they are it's not something you can, or would want to do all the time. The addictive drugs for the most part are the ones you can use and maintain an almost normal life, coke, speed, opiates/opioids and marijuana, although opinion is still split on whether marijuana is addictive or not. As an example after taking psilocybin bearing mushrooms, it'll be a couple of weeks before you'd get anything but very minor effects from taking more, so it limits the abuse potential. Additionally, if you take a large dose it almost guarantees you won't be able to interact in a normal fashion. As with most psychedelics it affects your perceptions and feeds on your emotional state. So it's not ideal for everyday, everywhere use anyway really.

I've never wanted to buy a book, until now.

I've always believed fully that a world with decriminalization and education on drugs could save the world in many ways

I am happy to see this, real truth. I would love it if everyone COULD use drugs, but understood the drugs and used them moderately, temporarily or not at all by choice. Drugs don't need to be illegal. People use illegal drugs. Drugs need to be an open book. People who understand that it is a bad choice don't choose to do it. I believe that the old way actually INCREASED drug use.
