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.
