Feel free to ask me questions about any drugs. (If I have no experience in the drug you are interested in I will attempt to do some research for you.) I am not a professional, just an amateur psychonaut drug person. All reference to laws are US.

Newest additions to the list are in bold.

Illicit

count: 13

These drugs are illegally traded. They are commonly sought after for recreational use but many also have therapeutic benefits.

Cannabis

The most used illicit drug in the world.

• Cannabis: marijuana, pot, weed, herb, mary jane, grass.

Psychedelics

Mostly a mix of tryptamines and phenethylamines, these drugs alter cognition and perception typically by altering serotonin receptors in the brain.

• MXE, Methoxetamine. (3-MeO-2-Oxo-PCE)

With the exception of supplements, you probably know how these work.

Supposedly these improve your diet with the raw materials to help your body build more of the relevant mood-altering brain chemicals.

Updates & Revisions

I will usually bump this article when I add a new substance to the list or I felt like I have improved it substantially in some other way. (Minor tweaks won’t be bumped.)

Know that new additions to list aren’t always what I have done recently. Sometimes I remember something I did a long time ago but forgot to include.

• Tried and failed to implement jump list. Probably did it wrong.

• more descriptions I hoped are helpful/interesting.

• improved the quality and consistency of how the names of the drugs are displayed/listed. Added 2-FA (which I did today for first time) and 4-AcO-DMT (old experience I forgot)

• included current anti-depressant duloxetine I forgot.

• links to my main entries describing some recreational drugs. Indicated my current prescriptions in italics. Added hormonal birth control section.
