Answer: Welcome to the psychedelic drug websites. Here you will find a diverse crowd of scientists and hedonists, artists and anarchists, poets and philosophers.

Psychedelic drugs are consciousness-altering plants or chemicals which induce changes in sensory perception. They have been used throughout human history as a component of religious and spiritual practice.

Psychedelics are being studied as an adjunct to traditional psychotherapy, for their ability to provide patients with intuitive insights into their own condition.

The effects of psychedelics are heavily influenced by "set" and "setting," the pre-existing mindset of the user and the environment in which the substance is consumed.

Psychedelic drugs should not be confused with narcotics such as heroin, CNS depressants such as barbiturates, or stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines.

The psychedelic groups support a humane approach to drug laws and education known as "Harm Reduction." Billions of dollars are spent worldwide on drug prevention and eradication programs, with the effect that... people are still using drugs. Rather than ignoring and condemning users, harm reduction advocates focus upon minimizing the negative health and social consequences of drug use. Harm reduction does not attempt to deny or understate the real dangers associated with licit and illicit drug use. Primary topics include dosage and effects, plant identification and cultivation, health and safety issues, drug laws and politics. Secondary topics relate to the culture of Psychedelia and include philosophy and spirituality, psychology, music and poetry. Friendly banter is welcome.

Are any subjects specifically off-topic?

Yes, personal attacks! See the discussion of "Flames" below.

Also off-topic is any discussion which would attract undue law enforcement attention to the group. A frequently seen example is the question: "Hi, I just moved here to , can someone tell me where to score some ?"

This query will generally be met with the curt and sarcastic response: "Sorry officer, we can't help you.
