==Notes==
===Standardized substance documentation methodology notes===
====Prerequisites====
*Ensure that you are familiar with [[subjective effect index]] terminology to the greatest extent possible
*Ideally, take substance at threshold, light, common, strong, and heavy dosages on separate occasions. If not enough of the compound is available to do so, prioritize a heavy dosage. Aim to compile at least 10 reports and form output pdf's for each substance.
*Decide on a relatively consistent setting that will be used between substances. For example, at home with music and roommate or alone in bedroom.
*While on the substance, fill out [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJ2gf5uMlT_2_FEuNchJFA6RcXWHLnYdrv9NPPEpUfukSlAQ/viewform subjective effect tracker] while on the substance (so nothing is forgotten) and if necessary in retrospect (so nothing was missed).
*While on the substance, take periodic time-stamped notes or voice recordings as effects change.
*While on the substance, avoid taking other drugs which could influence the effects in any way whenever possible. If you are on a required medication, please note this down in your documentation.
*When off the substance, use these notes to write up a detailed trip report with a standardized layout, extensive qualitative commentary, and quantitative (SEI) data.
====Article====
*Compile all of the collected data into an article that follows a consistent format.
*Devise a rating system for how frequently each effect occurs. eg: rare, occasional, common, frequent, and near universal. if enough data has been gathered, take this a step further and use precise numbers for rating the occurrence frequency of each effect. eg: this effect occurred in 75% of experiences at X dosage.
*Split the articles into subsections which explain the effects that occur at different dosages along side of their level of intensity, similarly to the [[dosage]] page
*Ensure extensive qualitative commentary within these articles that give them a less impersonal feel
=====Hallucinogens I want to revisit to redocument=====
*'''RC's:''' AL-LAD, ALD-52, 1P-LSD, 2C-B-Fly, 2C-C, 2C-D, ''2C-E'', ''2C-P'', ''4-AcO-DMT'', 4-HO-MET, 4-HO-MiPT, 5-MeO-DMT, DPT, DOC, 3-HO-PCP, 3-MeO-PCE, ''3-MeO-PCP'', ''Deschloroketamine'', O-PCE
*'''Classicals''': ''LSD'', mushrooms, DMT, Ayahuasca, mescaline, 5-MeO-MiPT, 2C-B, Ketamine, ''DXM'', DPH, MDMA, LSA, ''Nutmeg'', ''Salvia''
===Style guide (in progress)===
'''rules of thumb'''
*use simplistic and easily understandable language over complex and obscure language wherever possible. This is to ensure that the SEI is as accessible to the general public as possible.
* Do not make absolute or black/white assertions. For example "XYZ can creating the feeling that" over "XYZ will create the feeling that"
* Do not talk about the conclusions reached during these states as if they are inherently true, instead make it clear that you are simply describing the experience of them.
* add laughter as a subcomponent of humour enhancement
* add vomiting as a subcomponent of nausea
'''Levels of intensity intro:'''
"This effect is capable of manifesting itself across the x different levels of intensity described below:"
'''Tiers:'''
* At the lowest level, …
* At this level, …
* At the highest level, ...
'''Referring to the experiencer:'''
*“A person” is preferred
**"At this level a person experiences morphing"
*“One’s” is secondary and provides variety
*“At this level one’s vision is completely encompassed by geometry”
'''Outro paragraph sentence:'''
"Effect is most commonly induced under the influence of low/moderate/heavy dosages of hallucinogenic compounds, such as type list. However, it can also occur under the influence of type list, particularly during phase [or as a result of x]"
'''Word preferences:'''
* To describe a given environment in its entirety
** Scene
* To describe the surface of a given object (like the surface of a wall in a video game)
** Texture
* To describe a given object
** Object
* To describe the experience of an effect of an illusion
** Perception
* To describe increasing intensity across multiple tiers
** Progressive
* To describe common sober experiences (to contrast with intoxicated effects)
** Everyday (life)
* To describe an illusion the subject recognizes to be false
** Hallucination / hallucinatory
* To describe an illusion the subject cannot recognize as such
** Delusion
* To describe the lower bound of an effect range
** Subtle
* To describe the upper bound of an effect range
** Extreme
===Substance effect section overhaul plan notes===
*we should carefully read through every individual effects autogenerated compound list and verify that the effect has been added to every relevant substance.
*we should create a style guide for describing how effects present themselves on specific drugs that we can refer back to for consistency.
*We should carefully read through each substance article effect section to ensure consistency, a comprehensive list of relevant effects, detailed descriptions, and appropriate grammar. This should also be done to substance class articles such as psychedelics, stimulants etc
