DRUG RELATED NEWSGROUPS
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you do not have one of these newsgroups on your list, you should
|
|
send a polite letter to your system administrator asking the newsgroup
|
|
be added. Please use these newsgroups to cut down on cross-posting
|
|
and to seperate traffic. Please do not mass cross-post.
|
|
|
|
alt.drugs
|
|
|
|
This is the catch-all newsgroup. This doesn't, however, mean you should
|
|
cross-post every single article in any of the other alt.drugs.* groups
|
|
here. If it fits into another newsgroup, you should use the other
|
|
newsgroup and not cross post.
|
|
|
|
alt.drugs.chemistry
|
|
|
|
This group is for the discussion of the synthesis and extraction of
|
|
psychoactives. It does not include neuropharmacology questions which
|
|
should go into alt.psychoactives
|
|
|
|
alt.drugs.culture
|
|
|
|
This group is for trip stories, best music to listen to while stoned,
|
|
other discussions of set + setting and in general the psychosocial aspects
|
|
of the use of drugs.
|
|
|
|
alt.drugs.pot
|
|
|
|
Growing tips go here and not in alt.hemp. Stuff about hemp as rope,
|
|
fuel, food, etc should go into alt.hemp. On Usenet "Pot == you get stoned
|
|
off of it, Hemp == you don't", apparently.
|
|
|
|
alt.drugs.psychedelics
|
|
|
|
LSD, MDMA, DMT, Mushrooms, etc. Probably Ketamine would be included
|
|
in here as well. Synthesis/extraction threads would be better placed
|
|
in alt.drugs.chemistry.
|
|
|
|
alt.hemp
|
|
|
|
For the *alternative* uses of marijuana. We're talking rope, fuel, food,
|
|
and other uses of help. If it has anything to do with marijuana as a
|
|
drug it should be in alt.drugs.pot
|
|
|
|
alt.psychoactives
|
|
|
|
This group is for the discussion of nootropics ("Smart Drugs") and
|
|
for the neuropharmacology of drugs. It should not have threads about
|
|
psychedelics (unrelated to neuropharmacology) or threads about
|
|
antidepressants (unrelated to neuropharmacology) on it. And under
|
|
most circumstances questions which might seem to require some
|
|
degree of neuropharmacology to answer would probably be best left
|
|
in other newsgroups -- i.e. "What happens if i mix Prozac and LSD?"
|
|
should probably go in alt.drugs.psychedelics (and/or
|
|
sci.med.psychobiology). On the other hand, discussion of neuropharmacology
|
|
of all drugs are encouraged. If you'd like to know what receptors LSD
|
|
binds to, or how MDMA causes the release of serotonin this is the place
|
|
to go...
|
|
|
|
talk.politics.drugs
|
|
|
|
Political discussion should, in theory, wind up here rather than in
|
|
alt.drugs.
|
|
|
|
sci.med.pharmacy
|
|
|
|
Discussion of legal, medicinal drugs. Questions about antibiotics, etc
|
|
should go here
|
|
|
|
sci.med.psychobiology
|
|
|
|
Discussion of legal, medicinal, psychoactive drugs. Questions about
|
|
Prozac, Zoloft, Ativan, Valium, Buspirone, etc should all typically
|
|
go in here unless it has to do with getting high off the drug or
|
|
mixing the drug with an illegal psychoactive.
|
