Looks like a corporate rip off of the original tripsit wiki, which is much better - https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Main_Page

Ok, since both top-level comments (to date) are saying that, and since that site hasn't appeared on HN before either, I've switched the URL to it from https://www.tripsitters.org/. Thanks!

For what it's worth, I find https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page to be the best wiki out there for this stuff.

To me it looks like a pretty weird decision to switch to a different project ON HN when someone is showing off a different implementation, even if one came first.

Would me posting a new search engine be switched to Google, as that came first? Or maybe a new internet archiving project to archive.org?

Never I've seen an internet forum being this well looked after. Thanks.

Thanks. I didn't know about wiki.tripsit.me. Looks like a great resource.

Shameless plug: I used data from TripSit's drug combination chart to make a better tool. It's a dead simple site that tells you the relative safety of combining recreational drugs. I feel compelled to share it here in case it might help someone make a more informed choice.

This is pretty cool, but SSRIs + MDMA can cause serotonin syndrome which is potentially life-threatening [0] but is considered low-risk by the tool.

Thank you for sharing that! Seriously, this is awesome. I updated my site and sent a message to TripSit to update their data.

Great site. One request, can you put a description into the readme, along with a link to the hosted site?

It took me a second to figure out how to run/use it.

ylere · 5 years ago
To view the site, go to the hosted version: https://dillonjohnbrown.github.io/the-drugulator/

Neat! I think something is messed up with the drop downs, though. It shows that I have multiple selections on FF on Android.

I just discovered TripSit made basically the same thing: https://combo.tripsit.me

1) This looks like a ripoff of https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Main_Page

2) Whatever happened to taking a bunch of hard drugs with your friends and seeing what happens? Kids these days with their "trip sitters" and "safe spaces" and "Psilocybin Community & Education" hubs.

We had safe spaces. They were Grateful Dead shows. You had a community of people who would look after you, guide you and give you advice. You sound like you could use a trip...

#2 is what led to the idea of tripsitters. It's essentially the same concept as a designated driver - someone sober to keep everyone out of trouble. Some people can handle it fine, others really can't at all, psychologically, and most anyone on psychedelics responds to unexpected adverse situations poorly. I agree it's not how my generation did it but it's not a bad idea at all.

Anyone interesting in this stuff should check out erowid if they havent already. It's been around for a very long time and has an extensive library as well as a user submitted experience vault.

Used almost all of them, my favourite is still LSD and other lysergamides. Mescaline is close.

Don't do RCs people, they are barely researched and long term consequences are unknown. I'm paying now that I have used them, and a lot.

cranekam · 5 years ago
Can you expand on what you took and what you're experiencing now?
theragra · 5 years ago
I took a lot of different, mostly psychedelic RCs during my lifetime. Most 2c-x, some DOx, many tryptamines (4-,5- substitutes), AMT, nBOMes, 5-,6-APBs.

I was pretty careful. It was not often (1 time a month or less), no mixing stuff, no overheating or dehydration, and dosages reasonable.

Now (for several years) I feel burning sensation all over skin. Like intense sunburn, sometimes worse. Cannot be turned off, and no treatment helps. Opiates help somewhat, but you know that they are a problem in itself.

It is hard to tell if RCs are the reason, but considering this syndrome I have is not well researched and happens rarely, I suspect so.

I blame prohibition somewhat. I used RCs at first only bc I was not able to get normal drugs anywhere (for several years). I really recommend ppl to use LSD, mescaline and shrooms only.

Amphetamines, if you insist, b/c they are researched well.

Don't play with fire, you'll get burned and your life will be hell.

However, LSD, shrooms and maybe MDMA, if used responsibly, will make your life better and will make you a better person.

Caffeine is missing - it's my mood altering drug of choice.
sva_ · 5 years ago
You can find it by clicking on 'Stimulants', right below 'Cocaine'.

https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Caffeine

mikewarot · 5 years ago
If you type "caff" into the search, it doesn't find it... weird.
bromonkey · 5 years ago
Caffeine is 100% in there.
