Psychoactive substances are used for a number of purposes; for example, they can be taken recreationally for their novel and euphoric effects, as [[entheogens]] for ritual or spiritual purposes, or as tools for probing and augmenting the mind. Many psychoactive substances have therapeutic utility and are used in routine medical practice (e.g. [[pain relief|anaesthetics]], analgesics, [[anxiety suppression|anxiolytics]], antidepressants, etc.).

This index attempts to ~~categorize~~ and provide relevant, accurate and unbiased information ~~regarding~~ any and all psychoactive substances, with a particular focus on those ~~which are useful~~ as tools for expanding consciousness. The individual articles ~~focus~~ not just ~~on detailing~~ the chemistry, pharmacology, toxicity and harm potential of each substance, but also ~~their~~ subjective effects. This is done by following a standardized system of ~~descriptions~~ and terminologies that can be found in the [[subjective effects index]].
