Diethyl Ether

2018-10-09T22:09:54Z

Toasterlizard: Reverted edits by Dumbdumb123 (talk) to last revision by Etherbinge79

== Diethyl Ether ==
[[File:Ether.jpeg|300px|thumbnail|left]]

'''Diethyl Ether''' ((C2H5)2O) is a highly flammable solvent with anesthetic and dissociative effects when inhaled. It was synthesized first in the late 1200's and has been used recreationally among Polish peasants since the late 19th century. More recently, it gained popularity in the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" which depicted Hunter S. Thompson experiencing the strange fiendishness of Diethyl Ether's intoxicating properties, sometimes called "Ethermania". Liquid Diethyl Ether can be obtained in pure form which greatly reduces negative effects.

'''Most negative effects result from impure diethyl ether being extracted from lighter fluid or other sources. The harmfulness and experiences related to these other unknown chemicals cannot distinguished from brain damage occurring. Avoid these awful effects by only obtaining pure chemical grade 99%+ pure Diethyl Ether'''.

Also note that most pure Diethyl Ether contains some amount of BHT as a stabilizer to prevent explosions and fires. BHT's effects when inhaled are unclear as it is a FDA approved food additive but there is conflicting research on the substance.

== Duration ==

As Diethyl Ether is huffed continuously by its users, the effects are felt immediately

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Inhaled
|-
| Onset || immediatley
|-
| Total || 1 hour
|-
| After-effects || 2-48 hours (dose-dependent)
|}

== Effects ==

=== Positive ===
* Euphoria, mood lift, energy boost
* Sense of calm and serenity
* Faster and more free flow of thoughts
* Decreased social anxiety with others on the drug

=== Neutral ===
* Distortion or loss of sensory perceptions (common)
* Dissociation of mind from body
* Sweating
* Analgesia, numbness
* Significant change in perception of time
* Increase in heart rate
* Confusion, disorientation
* Darker more sinister thoughts

=== Negative ===
* Smelling of gasoline for 24 hours
* Risk of short term dependency
* Intense desire to binge once started
* Blacking out and forgetting one has taken a drug
* Discomfort, pain or bitterness in taste and harshness
* Severe confusion, disorganised thinking
* Vertigo, spinning sensation (risk of injury)
* Nausea, vomiting
* Susceptibility to accidents (from incoordination and change in perception of body and time)
* Severe dissociation, depersonalisation
* Loss of consciousness
* Depression of heart rate and respiration (risk increases with increased dose or when combined with depressants)

== Harm Reduction ==
* Huff only PURE diethyl ether as all self extractions contain harmful other chemicals.
* Diethyl Ether is incredibly flammable so keep it away from flames
* To avoid explosions store it in a dark colored bottle in a freezer/refrigerator.
* The lethal dose is far beyond the dose that would cause one to vomit and lose consciousness, but huff slowly taking breaks frequently.
* Don't inhale ether if you don't want to smell like gas for the following 24 hours. It seeps out of your skin and mouth.

Research Chemicals

2018-10-09T22:09:51Z

Toasterlizard: Reverted edits by Dumbdumb123 (talk) to last revision by Sleep

'Research Chemical' is a term used to refer to any chemical that has not been well researched and does not have an established long-term safety profile.

==Definition==

'Research chemical' is a term used to indicate a chemical which has not had a history of research or human use, and is therefore considered to be at a 'research stage.' There is no official body which determines a research chemical, or when a research chemical has accrued enough history of use to cease its classification as one. Some have suggested that these chemicals should be called "unresearched chemicals" or another term "Experimental Chemicals". Some are new, while others have been around for years; and little is known about most of them besides first-hand accounts of their use. There are research chemicals of many different types of drugs: while many drugs are qualified as research chemicals, the term itself is more of a flag than a category.

The expression can be considered somewhat of a misnomer, as drugs in this category have often not actually been researched, or at least have almost no history of human use. Many research chemicals in use today were originally discovered and published by Alexander Shulgin in PiHKAL and TiHKAL, and a lot more have been found based on these works. The term partially came from the fact that substances in the recreational markets were drugs that had been discovered in labs and only examined in-vitro or low-level animal studies. However, the 'research' more readily applies to the fact that these drugs were usually found through a process of research - such as through exploring analogues of existing psychoactive substances. Very little to no research has been used to establish the toxicology or human pharmacology of these drugs.

'Legal highs' commonly sold on a grey-area market are usually one or more research chemicals made to mimic the effects of other illicit drugs. There is currently a very large market for the production, sale and use of research chemicals, driven by their implicit legality; vendors and users alike pursue research chemicals to avoid legal troubles encountered from being involved with the more traditional chemicals. Governments tend to ban research chemicals a short while after they become popular, and this, in turn, leads to more being discovered and sold. Some legal systems, such as that of the USA, have moved against research chemicals with acts of law implicitly banning analogues of drugs which are already banned.

==Risks==

As many of these drugs are very new and may not have a well-established safety profile, there are a variety of stronger risk factors in using them. It is likely that many research chemicals have undocumented side-effects, interactions or contraindications.

===Misrepresentation===

One major risk associated with research chemicals is that they are often misrepresented; it is relatively common for a purportedly new chemical to actually consist of a blend of other research chemicals or banned chemicals.

When seeking to acquire research chemicals it is strongly advised to avoid 'blends', or branded products for which the active ingredients are often unknown or unlisted.

Not only does buying research chemicals in this manner keep you from being able to use any of what little research there may be on the active ingredient(s), but there have been published analysis results indicating that there is a very real risk of chemical synergy.

Consider the case of URB-754, wherein a blend marketed as a cannabinoid product was sold with some of the active ingredients listed. Upon analysis, researchers learned that it contained not only unlisted cannabinoids but was also found to contain a previously unreported cathinone. While misrepresentation in the RC market is not uncommon, in this case, closer inspection revealed an unexpected chemical reaction upon combustion, where some of the cannabinoids actually formed an entirely new previously unknown class of chemical when they reacted with the unlisted cathinone!

To put it simply, often the vendors themselves don't even really know what their product contains or the potential outcome of mixing chemicals.

===Analogue Misconception===

Remember, just because it is an analogue of something, does not mean it will behave the same way.

An example of this can be seen in the following comparison of two structurally related chemicals [[MDAI]] and [[MDMA]]. MDMA has been documented since the late 60's. MDAI is an analogue of MDMA, and while it produces some similar effects to MDMA it differs in that it's non-neurotoxic.

Or we can take [[2C-B]] and its analogues such as [[BK-2C-B]], 25B-NBXXX, TCB-2, DOB, Bromo-Dragon-Fly, 2C-B-FLY. The parent drug in this example is much safer than the rest. There is no record of a death from 2C-B alone, with 25B-NBOMe there have been reports of multiple deaths during its short history of release.

==Harm Reduction Precautions==

While there is a certain element of risk involved in all experimentation/use of research chemicals. There are some basic precautions one can take in an effort to make an inherently risky behaviour less dangerous than otherwise.

===Research===

While most readily available anecdotal information on research chemicals cannot be entirely trusted (due to the nature of research chemicals most data available on RC's is just that, a series of anecdotes), even for very new drugs there is usually a fair amount of information available which can give a good idea of what to expect. It is important that you do your own research and carefully make your own informed decisions; don't take people's word for what a drug can/will do to/for you at face value as the same drug can affect people differently.

* The TripSit [http://drugs.tripsit.me/ factsheets] often have data on new drugs, and our Wiki includes harm reduction information for research chemicals in each drug class on their respective pages.

* While Erowid is usually slow to publish full vaults on research chemicals, there are usually a number of experience reports published for even very new drugs. These can give a good idea about what can be expected from the experience itself, as well as more anecdotal information about dosages and the like.

* Forums such as Bluelight.org and drugs-forum.com often have the first discussions and experience reports for very new chemicals, however, reports can be somewhat dubious as in many cases very new drugs are often falsely sold, so the reports actually pertain to another chemical.

===Preparation===

When experimenting with any new drug a little forethought can go a long way, especially when it comes to drugs about which very little is actually known.

Usually, if you're experimenting with a new drug (or even just a drug that is new to you) it's best practice to have a sober sitter with you, just in case something goes wrong. Some types of drugs produce effects that are more risky to go into alone than others but if you're using something new and you are unaware of how it will affect you, it's never a bad idea to be accompanied by a trustworthy person, such as a close friend, to help guide you through a difficult experience or just someone to keep an eye on how your body reacts to something.

===Dosing===

As these chemicals are generally very new, and little information exists as to their effect on humans, there is also a lack of information about recommended doses. Often, speculative doses can be found on the Internet. When a new research chemical is released, the first results can often be found on forums such as Bluelight or drugs-forum. These consist of anecdotal trip reports, and cannot be trusted very much since in the early days of a drug's release, vendors will often sell other drugs under the newer name. After a time, and once some verifiable reports about the drug have been collected, tiered summaries are compiled by resources such as [http://factsheet.tripsit.me/factsheet/ TripSit Factsheets] and [https://www.erowid.org Erowid], which can provide more conclusive dosage guidelines. However, even when speculative doses are published, they should not be fully trusted due to the lack of long-term testing a drug has received at this point. Drugs which do not have much reliable information pertaining to their dose will generally be tagged.

With a chemical that has never been tested in vivo (animal subjects) for most substances, you would want to start around 25ug's and titrate your dosage up to 50ug's in increments of 25ug's Leaving a week minimum between the 25ug test and 50ug, and work your way up. But this isn't needed for every chemical, such as BK-2C-I. You can use BK-2C-B as a "reference" of sorts, of it being 10x weaker than the parent compound(BK-2C-B). It is much safer to start at a lower dose than what would be an active dose to see if your body can handle the drug.Some might say that you can gauge an activity with just SAR's (Structure-Activity relationship) which in the most part true, yet in cases such as Lophophine and IRIS, there is a very good reason why it should be active, yet it isn't. That can also go the other way, as IRIS is one of the "Ten Classic Ladies" or the ten possible homologues of DOM. While DOM is active around 3mg's, yet IRIS is inactive.

Therefore, because of the importance of using sub-threshold tester-doses, and since many of these new chemicals are highly potent anyways it is imperative that one has a reliable way to accurately measure chemicals in low doses.

It is not safe to assume any consumer-grade scale will be reliably accurate <50mg, however, there is a way to measure accurately low doses of chemicals using a method known as 'volumetric dosing', [[Quick guide to volumetric dosing]]. While this technique is not particularly difficult it does require some planning and precision.

If you intend to employ volumetric measuring techniques, or when working with new chemicals (or any chemicals for that matter) it is important to be sure to use the most accurate scale available on a consumer level. Unfortunately, there are no scales that are reliably accurate for weights under approximately 25 mg that are readily available to the average consumer. That being said, there are some scales for sale for under $100, which if used correctly, can be safely used to prepare a solution for volumetric dosing of a substance. For more information on how to correctly use a scale, and sources for reasonably reliable scales to buy, check [[Scales]].

2C-B

2018-10-09T22:09:46Z

Toasterlizard: Reverted edits by Dumbdumb123 (talk) to last revision by PinkDino

[[File:2cb.jpg|thumb|150px|2C-B vial and powder]]

'''2C-B''' is a [[Psychedelics|psychedelic]] drug of the [[2C-X|2C-X family]].
Effects are often described as being more easily managed than other psychedelics; it is often compared to a mixture of a LSD and MDMA.
2C-B is also known for the strong body component of its effects which are alternately described as pleasurable energy or a 'sense of being in the body,' and by others as an unpleasant 'buzzing' or body-load, which is mostly occurring during onset. Users also report open eye visuals in the form of colour distortions, melting like hallucinations, and other minor visual psychedelic effects.

== History ==
2C-B was first synthesized in 1974 by Alexander Shulgin, and it first saw use among the psychiatric community as an aid during therapy. It was considered one of the best drugs for this purpose because of its short duration, relative absence of side effects, and comparably mild nature. Shortly after becoming popular in the medical community, it became popular recreationally. 2C-B was first sold commercially as an aphrodisiac under the trade name "Eros", which was manufactured by the German pharmaceutical company Drittewelle. From many years after it was available as tablets in Dutch smart shops under the name "Nexus".

== Dosage ==
'''NOTE: DO NOT TAKE THE BELOW DOSING INFORMATION AS A KNOW ALL, PLEASE TAKE CAUTION, AND REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE MORE, BUT NEVER LESS.'''

Unlike most hallucinogens, 2C-B has been shown to be a low efficacy serotonin 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist or even full antagonist. This suggests that the 5-HT2C receptor is primarily responsible for mediating the effects experienced by users of 2C-B, although functional antagonism of 5-HT2A or activation of the 5-HT2A-coupled phospholipase D pathway may also play a role. The rank order of receptorantagonist potency for this family of drugs is 2C-I > 2C-B > 2C-D > 2C-H.

Research suggests that 2C-B increases dopamine levels in the brains of rats, which may contribute to its psychoactivity.

== Harm Reduction ==

2C-B is known as one of the safer psychedelics, with several reported cases of users far exceeding commonly used dosing limits without lasting adverse physical effects. It is also observed to have a low addiction potential. It is a stimulating psychedelic, and therefore it's important to remain hydrated. Refer to [[Psychedelics#Harm_Reduction|Psychedelic Harm Reduction]] for more information.

Do not take heroic doses thinking that 2C-B is one of the "safer psychedelics".

=== Interactions ===

2C-B increases dopamine levels and also has an effect on serotonin. Therefore, 2C-B may react negatively with serotonic drugs like anti-depressants and tramadol.

== Legal Status ==
Internationally, 2C-B is a Schedule II drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. In the Netherlands, 2C-B became a list I substance of the Opium Law despite no health incidents occurring. Following the ban, other phenethylamines were sold in place of 2C-B until the Netherlands became the first country in the world to ban 2C-I, 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7 alongside 2C-B.

* UK: Class A (Along with all the others in the [[2C-X|2C-X family]]. (Illegal to produce, supply, or possess.))

2C-E

2018-10-09T22:09:43Z

Toasterlizard: Reverted edits by Dumbdumb123 (talk) to last revision by Dread

[[File:2ce.jpg|thumb|150px|Vial of 2C-E with powder]]

'''2C-E''' is a chemical of the [[2C-X]] series which is characterised by its particularly intense visuals and higher potency when compared with other members of the family.

== History ==

2C-E, like many of its close analogues, was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and published in PiHKAL. He was quite fond of it, granting it a place in his "Magical Half Dozen" alongside of [[DOM]], [[2C-B]], [[2C-T-2]] & 7 and [[mescaline]].

== Usage ==

2C-E is mainly a recreational entheogen. It can be quite introspective in appropriate doses and settings. It doesn't lend itself well to intense party-like surroundings, much like LSD or similarly intense psychedelics.

== Dosage ==

{{#tdose: 2ce }}

== Duration ==

Note: Duration can be significantly longer with higher doses.

Anecdotal evidence has shown the oral onset of 2C-E may vary wildly for some users, taking up to three hours before first effects in some cases.

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Oral

| Onset || 60-90 minutes

|-

| Total || 9-14 hours

|}

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Insufflated

| Onset || 20-40 minutes

|-

| Total || 6-9 hours

|}

== Effects ==

2C-E is a psychedelic phenethylamine and as such has psychedelic and stimulant effects. As with all psychedelics, different users are likely to experience different sets of effects, which usually include some however very rarely would include all of the following effects.

Compared to other members of the 2C-X family, 2C-E is generally considered to have a heavier body load and to be more visual than its counterparts.

Note: The prevalence of negative effects increases with higher doses.

=== Positive ===

* Mood lift, euphoria, sense of well-being

* Enhanced sensory perception

* Increase in associative & creative thinking; introspection

* Life-changing 'spiritual' experiences

* Closed and Open eye visuals, patterning, tracers, color-enhancement, etc.

* Enhanced appreciation of music

* Increase in energy

=== Neutral ===

* Time dilation

* Slight increase in heart-rate and body temperature

* Inability to focus or difficulty focusing

=== Negative ===

* Tension

* Anxiety, restlessness, confusion

* Dizziness

* Nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, possible vomiting

* Over-sensitivity to music or other sensory stimuli

* Unwanted 'spiritual' experiences

* Racing thoughts

== Harm Reduction ==

* As with all psychedelic drugs 2C-E carries with it the potential for a very powerful experience, and as such has the potential to create a very difficult experience ('bad' trip). Mindset and setting play important roles in governing the nature of a psychedelic experience, among other things.

See [[Psychedelics#Harm_Reduction|Psychedelic Harm Reduction]] for more information.

* As with all stimulants, care should be taken when dosing via different ROAs. The oral route has a much lower bioavailabity than those that bypass first pass metabolism i.e. Insufflated, rectal, intramuscular, intravenous and subcutaneous.

See [[Stimulants#Harm Reduction|Stimulant Harm Reduction]] for more information.

=== Interactions ===

See the [[Drug combinations]] chart for more information.

== Chemistry and Pharmacology ==

=== Chemistry ===

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine is a colorless oil and analogue of mescaline. Similarly it is classified as a psychedelic phenethylamine. It shares the substituted amphetamine core found in the structure of many entactogens. Crystalline forms are obtained as the amine salt by reacting the free base with a mineral acid, typically HCl. It is soluble in both water and ethanol. Maximum concentration in H2O is reported at ~50mg/ml and it is said to be relatively stable in solution. A drop below normal ambient temperatures can cause particles to crystalize out.

Shulgin does not report an exact boiling point for the free base, stating only that during one synthesis the fraction boiling between 90-100 °C at 0.25 mmHg pressure was collected and converted to the hydrochloride salt. Shulgin reports the melting point of the hydrochloride salt as 208.5-210.5 °C.

A full write up on Shulgin's synthesis for 2C-E can be found [https://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal024.shtml here].

=== Pharmacology ===

Like most psychedelic drugs, 2C-E is a 5-HT2a Agonist; from that, we can presume the concurrent or pre-administration of SSRIs may reduce the effects of 2C-E. 2C-E is one of the most potent of the 2C-X family, behind only 2C-P and 2C-T-4. The 2C-X family, specifically, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-C all stimulated G protein binding, suggesting more of an activity similar to tryptamines such as 5-MeO-DMT and, interestingly, DPT. G Proteins are membrane proteins that effectively mediate interaction between hormone receptors and enzymes responsible for changes of metabolism as a result of hormonal changes.

In rats, Stage I metabolism involved deamination and O-Demthylation, which are related to the Monoamine oxidase (MAO) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. For virtually all the 2C’s, (B,I,D,E,T-2, and T-7), MAO-A and MAO-B were reacted upon; interestingly, ½ of the molecules in Shulgin’s Magical Half Dozen (2C-E, 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, with the addition of 2C-D) also act to a small extent on the CYP2D6 enzyme. Because of the commonality of these receptors, the 2C-X family is likely to be more reactive with other concurrently administered chemicals.

=== LD50 ===

The LD50 in humans is not currently known. Use caution when exploring high doses of this compound.

== Legal status ==

* In Australia, 2C-E was added to the 'Dangerous Drugs' list of the 'Drugs Misuse Amendment Act 2008.

* In Denmark, 2C-E has been added to the list of Schedule B controlled substances.

* In New Zealand, 2C-E is illegal under the Analogues section of Schedule 3 / Class C, along with 2C-I, DOI, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine.

* In Sweden, 2C-E has been made illegal to sell or possess under their Act on the Prohibition of Certain Goods Dangerous to Health (''lagen om förbud mot vissa hälsofarliga varor'').

* In the UK, 2C-E is a Class A controlled Substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act's 2002 amendments and as such is illegal to possess to supply.

* In Germany, 2C-E is a Schedule I drug as of late 2014.

* In the USA, 2C-E is a Schedule I substance under the FDA Safety and Innovation act of 2012, and is illegal to possess, distribute or manufacture.

DMT

[[File:SpiceCrystal001.jpg|right|300px|Opaque DMT crystal]]
'''N,N-Dimethyltryptamine''' (or '''DMT''' for short) is a short acting psychedelic entheogen which allows a person's consciousness to voyage into the most incredible dimensions, visions, thoughts and experiences imaginable. It is most commonly classified as a psychedelic but also possesses some properties inherent to dissociatives. It is one of the most powerful yet mysterious psychedelics in existence, but in the opinion of many users, to classify DMT as merely a drug would be doing it a great injustice as DMT seems to some as a transdimensional key into places and vistas so profound and awe inspiring that it raises many new questions regarding the nature of reality and our place within it. Nevertheless, it is important to realize that the experience may be very difficult for some to integrate, and great care and respect is necessary to use it.

DMT exists naturally in every human being and also throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. It occurs naturally in many mammals, marine animals, trees, grasses, flowers and shoots.

== Dosage ==
=== Oral ===
DMT is rapidly metabolized by MAO and should therefore be combined with a MAO-inhibitor such as Harmine when taken orally.
Otherwise, the effects will be underwhelming or barely noticeable.

Dosages for DMT, considering MAOs are fully inhibited, vary wildly depending on person, probably due to metabolism in great part. They can go from 30 to 150mg! If its your first time, start on the lower end!

Another factor is whether one is ingesting a whole plant brew or purified extracts. Often in ayahuasca analysis the amount of DMT found is very small (20-30mg), but also often there is redosing in ayahuasca sessions, but also its possible trace amounts of beta-carbolines and other alkaloids can improve MAO inhibition, or that other inactive plant substances can help protect DMT from fast breakdown by any potential MAO activity.

There are a few different ways to ingest it orally:

* Dissolved in acidic juice.

* Rolled inside a bit of smoking paper and swallowed like a pill.

* Put into 00 Capsules.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Oral
|-
| Light || 30-50mg of DMT & 50-75mg Harmala alkaloids
|-
| Common || 50-75mg of DMT & 75-100mg Harmala alkaloids
|-
| Strong || 100mg+ of DMT & 100-150mg Harmala alkaloids
|}

=== Smoked-Vaporized ===

'''Dosage given assumes 100% effective vaporization method.'''

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Smoked & Vapourised
|-
| Light || 10-15mg
|-
| Common || 15-25mg
|-
| Strong || 25-40mg+
|}

Extracted DMT freebase can be vaporized for very potent effects that last around 10-15 minutes. DMT is ideally vaporized, as opposed to smoked. Vaporization is achieved by a controlled temperature that does not burn/combust DMT material (and potential impurities), but instead just makes DMT evaporate and be inhaled.

Vaporization is much smoother than smoking. Smoking leads to break down of DMT (and impurity) molecules into potential toxic nitrogen oxides, so not only it is harsher but also there is a significant loss of actives.

Vaporizing can be achieved with improvised vaporizers such as "The Inspirator mk II","The Machine" (both DIY) or commercially sold vaporizing pipes such as the Vapor Genie.

=== Insufflated ===

Insufflated doses vary wildly, start low. Dosages given are for freebase DMT, dosage for salt form may be a little bit higher.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Insufflated
|-
| Light || 10-25mg
|-
| Common || 25-50mg
|-
| Strong || 50-125mg+
|}

Insufflation of DMT is a less popular method of administration because it can cause extreme physical discomfort. DMT can be snorted in both freebase and salt forms. The most common salt utilized for insufflation is DMT Fumarate. Note that highly basic substances can damage the nasal passageway so the potential user is advised to proceed with caution.

=== Intravenous ===

Intravenous DMT comes on extremely fast and is the most efficient method of use. The effects are extremely similar to vaporized DMT, though IV administration is much more dangerous. It is advised that potential users avoid intravenous administration of DMT and stick to vaporization.

=== After effects ===
*A lasting perspective shift is likely to occur.
*Depersonalization/Derealization can occur after an experience and may last up to several months.
*Some people experience long-term anxiety after an experience while others report a decrease in overall anxiety.

== Harm Reduction ==

If ingesting DMT orally with a MAOI, ensure that care is taken with the diet such that no food which may cause an interaction is ingested - as this is potentially deadly. Check [https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/maois/maois_info2.shtml Erowid's MAOI Foods To Avoid] page for more information. However, if using a reversible MAOI such as Syrian Rue, less care needs to be taken.

Refer to [[Psychedelics#Harm_Reduction|Psychedelic Harm Reduction]] for general information on psychedelic safety.

== Chemistry and Pharmacology ==
DMT is closely related to serotonin, the naturally occurring neurotransmitter that psychedelics affect so widely. The pharmacology of DMT is similar to that of other well-known psychedelics. It affects receptor sites for serotonin in much the same way that LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline do. These serotonin receptors are widespread throughout the body and can be found in blood vessels, tissues, muscle, glands, and skin.

=== Production ===
There are a number of ways to acquire this entheogen. The first and most difficult way is to have some substantial chemistry knowledge and experience and actually synthesize pure DMT in a laboratory. This a rather tricky and time consuming process and requires access to some rather obscure and hard to acquire chemicals. The most common and easiest method to acquire DMT is to extract it from the various plant species that contain the compound.
DMT occurs naturally in several plants and may therefore be extracted from them with little chemistry knowledge, requiring no actual synthesis.

Plants containing DMT include Mimosa hostilis/tenuflora, Psychotria viridis, Codariocalyx motorius, Diplopterys cabrerana, Acacia species, and Phalaris species.

DMT is a class A substance in most European countries.

=== America ===

DMT is a schedule I substance in the United States.

[[File:Adderall.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Several 10mg Adderall IR pills]]
Adderall is a commonly prescribed stimulant to treat ADHD and ADD. Adderall is a 3:1 mixture of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. Adderall is commonly found in two forms, IR and XR. IR is instant release, while XR is extended release. Adderall XR releases half of the dosage immediately, and the other half 4 hours later. Adderall, containing [[Amphetamine|amphetamine]], is exceedingly similar to other forms of the substance, though with Adderall the constitution and doses are known.

== History ==

Adderall was originally developed from an amphetamine blend drug called Obetrol, prescribed for obesity and weight loss. This drug was a mix of racemic amphetamine (dl-amphetamine), d-amphetamine, and racemic methamphetamine. This made sense, as it was for weight loss, so the peripheral effects of l-amphetamine were actually useful as an anorexic and as a thermogenic. It was later reformulated without the methamphetamine, but also without FDA approval. When Richwood Pharmaceuticals bought Rexar, the company making Obetrol, they rebranded the reformulated Obetrol (without the methamphetamine) as Adderall, and began marketing it for ADD/ADHD.

== Dosage ==

Adderall XR is extended release Around 50% of the dose is released instantly, the other half over the next four hours. Effects take a while to begin, and last much longer.

* Adderall can be extremely addictive, and abuse can lead to stimulant psychosis, a very dangerous disorder.

=== Detection Times ===

* Blood: 12 hours

* Hair: 90 days

* Saliva: 3 days

* Urine: 1-4 days

=== Interactions ===

Adderall can interact negatively with many drugs mainly tramadol, APAP, buproprion, and many anti-depressants.

Adderall mixed with downers like Benzodiazepines can also cause adverse reactions.

GHB

[[File:GHB.jpg|right]]

'''GHB''' (Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid) is a CNS depressant used as intoxicant. It is a naturally occurring substance found in the human central nervous system, as well as in wine, beef, small citrus fruits, and in small amounts in almost all animals. GHB has been used in a medical setting as a general anaesthetic, to treat conditions such as insomnia, clinical depression, narcolepsy, and alcohol withdrawal, and to improve athletic performance.

== History ==
Synthesis of this chemical was first reported in 1874 by Alexander Zaytsev. But the first major research in humans was conducted in the early 1960's by Dr. Henri Laborit to use in studying the neurotransmitter GABA.

Throughout most of the 1960's it was a popular anesthetic, then was abandoned by doctors, following discoveries of its poor analgesic effects. In the 1970's was recommended for the treatment of narcolepsy, though the euphoric side of GHB made that unfavourable.

GHB was widely used in France, Italy, and other European countries for several decades as a sleeping agent and an anesthetic in childbirth, but problems with its abuse potential and development of newer drugs have led to a decrease in the medical use in recent times.

In the 1980's It was marketed for a short time as a fat burner and muscle developer. However, in 1990, based off many reports of GHB-linked illness, the FDA declared GHB unsafe, and ordered it to be removed from stores shelves. Following this, many users switched to GBL and 1 4-butanediol.

GHB (Xyrem) was approved by the FDA in 2002 for use in the treatment of narcolepsy/Cataplexy.

== Dosage ==

GBL dose: 1ml GBL is equal to 1.6ml GHB

* The dosage curve of GHB is very steep, recreational doses being very close to doses which will cause a period of unrousable sleep, which are again relatively close to doses which may cause coma or death through respiratory depression.
*The only way to know the concentration of liquid GHB is to know and trust information provided by the source. Users should be extremely careful about GHB dosages as even small overdoses can result in temporarily unrousable sleep.
* Avoid driving and operating heavy machinery
* Don't mix it with [[alcohol]], or other [[depressants]]
* 2-3 uses a week should be the maximum
* High addiction potential

== Chemistry and Pharmacology ==
GHB has at least two distinct binding sites in the central nervous system. GHB is an agonist at the newly characterized GHB receptor, which is excitatory, and it is a weak agonist at the GABA-B receptor, which is inhibitory. GHB is a naturally occurring substance that acts in a similar fashion to some neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain. GHB is probably synthesized from GABA in GABAergic neurons, and released when the neurons fire.

If taken orally, GABA itself does not effectively cross the blood-brain-barrier.

=== Dopamine Rebound ===

GHB will reduce dopamine levels in high amounts, but increase dopamine levels in the brain in low amounts<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1847191</ref>. This leads to what is known as dopamine rebound among users. Users can experience strong wakefullness about 4 hours after the last dose was consumed. This is often strong enough to wake the user up from sleep, and may be accompanied by a strong redose compulsion. The longer and higher the dose of GHB used, the more pronounced the effect may become.

=== Production ===
Production of GHB consists simply of mixing "lactone" (short for gamma butyrlactone) and lye (sodium hydroxide) in the proper amounts. It can also be converted from GBL.

== Legal status ==

GHB is illegal in most parts of the world, GBL is legal in parts of Europe.

[[File:Crystal Meth.jpg|250px|right]]

'''Methamphetamine''' is a strong physical and mental stimulant. It is legally prescribed as a treatment for ADD under the brand name Desoxyn, for both children and adults. Recreationally, methamphetamine is used to increase sexual drive, lift the mood, and increase energy, allowing some users to engage in sexual activity continuously for several days straight. Methamphetamine production is a relatively simple process, especially when compared to many other recreational drugs which has contributed to its widespread use. It is frequently reported on in the media when home meth-producing labs are busted.

Methamphetamine exists as two [[Glossary#Enantiomer|enantiomers]], dextrorotary and levorotary. Dextromethamphetamine is a stronger central nervous system(CNS) stimulant than levomethamphetamine; however, both are addictive and produce the same toxicity symptoms at high doses. Methamphetamine may be sold illegally, either as pure dextromethamphetamine or in an equal parts mixture of the right and left handed molecules (i.e., 50% levomethamphetamine and 50% dextromethamphetamine). Both dextromethamphetamine and racemic methamphetamine are schedule II controlled substances in the United States. Similarly, the production, distribution, sale, and possession of methamphetamine is restricted or illegal in many other countries due to its placement in schedule II of the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substancestreaty. In contrast, levomethamphetamine is an over-the-counter drug in the United States.

== History ==
Amphetamine, discovered before methamphetamine, was first synthesized in 1887 in Germany by Romanian chemist Lazăr Edeleanu who named it phenylisopropylamine. Shortly after, methamphetamine was synthesized from ephedrine in 1893 by Japanesechemist Nagai Nagayoshi. Three decades later, in 1919, methamphetamine hydrochloride was synthesized by pharmacologist Akira Ogata via reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. During World War II, methamphetamine was used extensively by the Axis forces for its stimulant effects. Obetrol, patented by Obetrol Pharmaceuticals in the 1950s and indicated for treatment of obesity, was one of the first brands of pharmaceutical methamphetamine products. Due to the psychological and stimulant effects of methamphetamine, Obetrol became a popular diet pill in America in the 1950s and 1960s. Eventually, as the addictive properties of the drug became known, governments began to strictly regulate the production and distribution of methamphetamine. For example, during the early 1970s in the United States, methamphetamine became a schedule II controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Currently, methamphetamine is sold under the trade name Desoxyn, trademarked by the Danish pharmaceutical company Lundbeck. As of January 2013, the Desoxyn trademark had been sold to Italian pharmaceutical company Recordati.

== Dosage ==

== Harm Reduction ==
When dealing with methamphetamine it's important to remember that a large number of the harms come not from the drug itself, but from the behaviors the drug causes individuals to exhibit. Loss of sleep, poor nutrition, and poor self care are the cause of many of the negative effects.

*Methamphetamine lasts for a long time and will impair sleep. Dose early in the day and do not redose to avoid sleep disruption.

*Oral ROA has less redose compulsion than other routes such as vaporization.

*It is important to eat and stay hydrated, even if you do not feel the need for food. Even if you are not feeling like eating you can generally have some fruit or a bowl of cereal or yogurt with granola.

*It is important to keep up on your self-care. "Meth mouth" is caused by poor oral hygiene combined with the habit of users to sip sugary beverages to relieve dry mouth symptoms. Use water and not soda to relieve dry mouth. Remember to brush your teeth after eating or consuming any caloric beverages.

*Stimulant drugs can cause kidney damage and stroke in users with high blood pressure. If you have been diagnosed or told you have high blood pressure use with caution.

== Chemistry and Pharmacology ==
[[File:Meth molecule.jpg|150px|right]]

Systematic name: N-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine

At room temperature, the free base of methamphetamine is a clear and colorless liquid with an odor characteristic of geranium leaves. It is soluble in diethyl ether and ethanol as well as miscible with chloroform. In contrast, the methampetamine hydrochloride salt is odorless with a bitter taste. It has a melting point between 170 to 175 °C (338 to 347 °F) and, at room temperature, occurs as white crystals or a white crystalline powder. The hydrochloride salt is also freely soluble in alcohol and water.

Powder methamphetamine is the hydrochloride salt form which is strongly hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air quickly). The HCl salt is smokable as is. Crystal meth "Crystal Meth" or "Ice" refer to methamphetamine grown into crystals. Though many people believe that Crystal Meth is the freebase form of methamphetamie HCl, this is not true. Methamphetamine is smokable in its normal HCL form, but taking the time to grow it into crystals makes it easier to smoke. Meth in visible crystals (rather than powder) is likely to be relatively pure as it is difficult to grow crystals from impure material. Methamphetamine freebase is an oil and is uncommon on the street.

MDMA

[[File:Mdma.jpg|thumb|300px|MDMA Crystals]]

'''MDMA''' (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-Methylamphetamine) is an popular drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine class known for its empathogenic, euphoric, and stimulant effects, and has also been used in psychotherapy. It most frequently comes in tablet form, although it is also found in capsules or as powder. MDMA is also known as Ecstasy, Molly, XTC, E and several other names.

Because MDMA is so popular and because it goes well with dance parties, the demand for it usually exceeds supply, especially at any given location on any given night. This creates an opening for unscrupulous individuals to sell virtually anything as 'ecstasy'. While 'ecstasy' is the popular name for MDMA, the functional definition of ecstasy is any pill represented as MDMA on the street. Ecstasy pills are notoriously unreliable in content, more so than most other street drugs, and commonly contain either caffeine, ephedrine, amphetamines, other MDXX's, DXM, or in rare cases DOX's, and don't necessarily contain MDMA or any psychoactive. They can also contain very neurotoxic substances (such as PMA, 4-CA, among many others). This problem has led to the development of simple MDMA [[Test Kits]] that may help give the user a general sense of the content of a pill.

The experience is often called rolling.

== History ==

MDMA was first synthesized in 1912 by Merck chemist Anton Köllisch.

In the mid-1970s, Alexander Shulgin heard from his students about unusual effects of MDMA; among others, the drug had helped one of them to overcome his stutter. Intrigued, Shulgin synthesized MDMA and tried it himself in 1976. Two years later, he and David E. Nichols published the first report on the drug's psychotropic effect in humans. They described "altered state of consciousness with emotional and sensual overtones" that can be compared "to marijuana, and to psilocybin devoid of the hallucinatory component".

In the early 1980s the drug emerged in the parts of Europe and the United States.

MDMA was first proposed for scheduling by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in July 1984 and was classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the U.S. on 31 May 1985; on an emergency basis. No double blind studies had yet been conducted as to the efficacy of MDMA for psychotherapy.

== Effects ==

=== Postive ===

* Mild to extreme mood lift, euphoria

* Agitation (less common than opposite)

* Tendency to say things you might feel uncomfortable about later

* Mild to extreme jaw clenching (trisma), tongue and cheek chewing, and teeth grinding (bruxia)

* Erectile disfunction and difficulty reaching orgasm

* Increase in body temperature, hyperthermia, dehydration (drink water)

* Hyponatremia (don't drink too much water)

* Nausea and vomiting

* Headaches, dizziness, loss of balance, and vertigo

* Sadness on coming down, sense of loss or immediate nostalgia

* Post-trip crash - unpleasantly harsh comedown from the peak effect

* Hangover the next day, lasting days to weeks

* Possible strong urge to repeat the experience, though not physically addictive

* Possible psychological crisis requiring hospitalization (psychotic episodes, severe panic attacks, etc) (rare)

* Possible liver toxicity (rare)

* Neurotoxicity

* Small risk of death; approximately 2 per 100,000 new users have extreme negative reactions resulting in death (very rare)

==== Hangover ====

Many users [http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_effects_hangover1.shtml report feeling extremely drained the day after MDMA use]. This 'day after' effect means for many MDMA users that they need to plan 2 days for the experience: one for the peak experience and one recovery day, with very little planned. Many users also experience some level of post-MDMA depression, often starting on the second day after the experience and lasting for up to 5 days. A small percentage of users report depressive symptoms for weeks afterwards. Alternately, some users report feeling better than normal for a week or so after taking MDMA. The negative after-effects of taking MDMA appear to be worse with higher frequencies of use, higher dosages, and perhaps total lifetime usage.

= Harm Reduction =

* MDMA rapidly builds tolerance, depletes serotonin and compounds neurotoxicity issues. Look for other drugs and avoid using MDMA more than once every few months.

* Ecstasy tablets are notoriously impure, often containing chemicals other than MDMA. Check out [http://www.ecstasydata.org/ EcstasyData] and [http://pillreports.com/ Pill Reports] for pill testing results. Buy a [[Test Kit]]!

== Health risks ==

As with many drugs, there are some serious risks associated with taking MDMA affecting people with existing health conditions, or in certain cases people who are otherwise very healthy. It is not advisable to take MDMA if any of the following apply to you:
* Health issues with the Heart, Kidneys or Liver
* High blood pressure
* History of having a stroke or heart attack

In rare cases MDMA can cause seizures, overheating, hypothermia, dehydration or water poisoning. It is important to keep an eye on body temperature and hydration while under the effects of MDMA.

There are some studies which suggest that long-term overuse and abuse of MDMA can cause or increase depression.

=== Interactions ===

* MDMA can cause [[Serotonin Syndrome]] when combined with MAOIs. Refer to [[Drug combinations]] for more information.

* [http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_info9.shtml SSRIs and SNRIs block most effects of MDMA.]

== Chemistry and Pharmacology ==

=== Neurotoxicity, by Borax ===

* The neurotoxicity is [https://pay.reddit.com/r/drugs/wiki/mdmaneurotoxicity well established], but studies are largely on mice and rats with [http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/614514 higher dosages than humans tend to use].

* There is an excellent run through of the pharmacodynamics of MDMA neurotoxicity [http://www.dancesafe.org/drug-information/is-mdma-neurotoxic/ here].

* Overall what we know is that the neurotoxicity scales with dose, and is likely to do so exponentially as the body is caused to overheat more and has less anitoxidants to deal with metabolites.

* We don't have any quantitative estimates about damage from normal human doses because it would not be ethical to dose people repeatedly just to see how much it damages them, and it's very hard to gather data from regular users because of the huge number of variables like alcohol and cannabis use, sleep deprivation, environment of MDMA use etc.

* We know that long term users are not [http://jop.sagepub.com/content/24/2/175 mentally impaired] but those *abusing* the drug do show a reduced ability to enjoy it and suffer a more intense comedown, indicating that there is something going on at higher doses.

* Another discussion about MDMA neurotoxicity can be found [https://pay.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/12v5f8/research_suggests_no_neurotoxicity_in_mdma/c6ye9xc here].

=== MDMA purity myths, by Borax ===

The 84% claims are based around either a poor understanding of the science or are a deliberate attempt to pass off inferior product as high quality.

You should read [https://pay.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/xihdo/rdrugs_ama_series_mdma_aka_ecstasy_e_x_molly/c5moa3i this discussion], but basically if anyone claims their MDMA is 84% pure then they have performed no analysis at all and should not be trusted.

With almost all, the name is an abbreviation for Drug.salt. In the case of MDMA, it is MDMA.HCl, amphetamine is usually amphetamine.H2SO4 and LSD is LSD.tartrate. Because these forms are ubiquitous, nobody bothers to mention the second bit because it's irrelevant. All doses you see for MDMA are referring to the HCl salt, which means that MDMA which is sold as "the purest you can get, 84%", is treated as 100% pure.

The reason sellers do this is because they usually don't have very pure MDMA, and they want people to make the mistake you have made and take more to account for crappy product. It is dishonest, confusing and misleading and if you have a choice you should avoid this vendor.

=== Production ===

MDMA is generally synthesised from naturally occurring safrole, extracted from the sassafras tree, making it a semi-synthetic drug.

== Legal Status ==

MDMA is legally controlled in most of the world under the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances and other international agreements, although exceptions exist for research and limited medical use. In general, the unlicensed use, sale or manufacture of MDMA are all criminal offences.

Dissociatives

2018-10-09T22:09:13Z

Toasterlizard: Reverted edits by Dumbdumb123 (talk) to last revision by Sleep

[[File:Ketaminedxomxepcp.png|200px|thumb|right]]
'''Dissociatives''' are a class of [[hallucinogen]] which reduce or block signals to the conscious mind from other parts of the brain. In comparison to [[psychedelics]] and [[deliriants]], they are a very new class of hallucinogen, with the first classical dissociative being synthesized in 1926 (PCP). They offer a trip that is characterised by dissociation and bizarre feelings of detachment from reality, with anaesthetic-like effects and dream-like states.

This guide is in reference to all of the classical Dissociatives, or more specifically, [[Ketamine]], [[MXE]], [[DXM]], [[PCP]] and [[3-MeO-PCP]]. This list excludes [[Nitrous Oxide]], which feels completely atypical in comparison.

It’s worth noting that Dissociatives can be addictive and bad for your health with regular long-term usage, so you’ll need to do some independent research before trying these. Although these hallucinations are completely different to anything found with psychedelics, they should not be underestimated, and allow you to go equally as "deep" in a completely different mental landscape. However, they are not nearly as powerful when it comes to introspection and resolving personal problems.

All of the classical Dissociatives are pharmacologically categorised as [[NMDA receptor]] antagonists, which are a class of anaesthetics that work to antagonise, or inhibit the action of, the N-methyl d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). The NMDA receptor is a receptor that allows for the transfer of electrical signals between neurones in the brain and in the spinal column. These receptors are located at the end of dendrites on a neurone cell. The dendrites send messages to other neurones through these, but when a drug that blocks the NMDA activity is taken, they are partially or entirely blocked, decreasing the brain's ability to transfer information across itself. Disconnecting the neurones and causing feelings of extreme dissociation or detachment, leading to hallucinatory states. Causing states of moderate to extreme dissociation in the user as the subconscious brain begins to fill in these sensory gaps with entirely imagined hallucinations and dreamlike states.

==Common Dissociatives==

* [[Ketamine]]
* [[DXM]]
* [[MXE]]
* [[PCP]]
* [[Nitrous]]
* [[Diphenidine]]
* [[Diethyl Ether]]

==Effects==

===Dissociation and detachment===
[[File:RWY72.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
Feelings of detachment are the most noticeable component of a dissociative trip. Which is entirely triggered by the blocking of NMDA receptors.

At lower states of dissociation, this essentially feels like an obvious but still difficult to pinpoint feeling of detachment from the external environment and body. The greatest analogy to depict this is that if we look at the world through a window during our day to day lives when a person becomes dissociated they are standing increasingly further back from this window proportionally to the dosage consumed. Creating a feeling of being mentally withdrawn from the environment, allowing people to look at their lives from an almost third-person perspective and analyse it without bias, surprisingly resulting in an enjoyable state of deep introspection and a profound drunkenness. These states are often described by people as:
[[File:OtakQ.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
*Feeling generally separate from the external world.
*Feeling physically and mentally autonomous.
*Feeling as though life is being watched through a screen.
*Feeling as though life is a film or a dream.
*Feeling as though you are physically further from the external world.
*Feeling as though you are looking through somebody else’s eyes.

States of dissociation and detachment increase proportionally to dosage until they become completely detached from the external environment and eventually their own bodies causing them to slip into the famous dissociative hole.

A process which can be broken down into three distinct levels of increasing intensity.

1. '''Partial detachment'''

Feelings of surrealness and general detachment from the external environment. As described in detail above.
detachment from the environment.

As the detachment increases the environment becomes physically further away in distance and increasingly disconnected from a person's sensory perception. Blurred vision sets in while anaesthetic like effects and tactile numbness begin to take place. At this point, motor control and balance become moderately to completely suppressed in a way that is proportional to dosage. In terms of sound, the hearing also seems to become muffled and distant.

2. '''Detachment from body'''

Complete disconnection from the body. It is here where the tripper finds themselves out of their body has slipped into a what can only be described as a hallucinatory hole or an empty void.

3. '''Detachment from mind and sense of self'''

The final level of dissociation and detachment is a complete disconnection from a person's mind and sense of self-resulting in ego death. Giving the profound experience that there is no longer an “I” experiencing the intensity of the trip anymore, there is just the trip as it is and by itself.

In terms of the thought patterns and general mental processes, dissociative ego death is very similar to its psychedelic equivalent in a number of ways. Characterised by an extreme loss or failure of a person’s short-term memory. This means that a person who is experiencing ego death cannot hold onto the memory of where they are and what they are doing for more than a second or two, instantly forgetting everything as soon as it happens to them. Long-term memory, however, seems to remain mostly intact, with people usually capable of remembering things like who they are and what they are unless they are experiencing ego death at a, particularly high level.

===Double vision===
[[File:Tumblr_mfv8dhHwqV1r7wwr6o1_1280.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
As a person begins to become disconnected and detached from their external environment. The visual field not only becomes blurred and indistinct but completely doubled onto itself as well. This feels as if you are seeing out of both of your eyes at once with the two images no longer being spliced and merged together into a unified whole. Forcing people to close one of their eyes if they want to perform any task which requires fine vision or reading.

===Perspective distortions===
[[File:Aliceinwonderlandsyndrome.png|200px|thumb|right]]
Another very common mental component of a classic dissociative trip is one of a profound shift in perspective; this generally consists of drastic changes in the size and distance attributed either to a person’s body or their external environment.

Feelings of suddenly having an impossibly giant or tiny body are very common and can be quite an incredible experience. This feeling is already known by the scientific literature as “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome”. It is known as a temporary condition often associated with migraines, brain tumours, and of course the use of psychoactive drugs. With dissociatives at least it can also be more specifically attributed to the room around you or certain body parts. For example feelings of having a huge head or tiny limbs are quite common. This specific mental component has limitless potential in terms of size and the feeling of being simultaneously huge and tiny or having a body that feels larger than the entire universe is not unheard of.

Perspective distortions can also affect distance, making specific objects or the entire external environment seem physically closer or further away.
Another common manifestation of this effect changes in noise volume, making sounds seem extremely quiet or extremely loud.

===Scenery slicing===
[[File:slice.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
Scenery slicing is a fairly uncommon visual but appears across multiple people and regularly enough to make it worth mentioning. This effect usually happens spontaneously with no obvious trigger and makes the external environment appear as if it has been cut remarkably cleanly into separate slices with a razor blade Which then slides across each other in separate directions causing the visual field to split apart into sections.

===Closed eye visuals===
[[File:Vusr5.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
Visuals are an effect triggered by Dissociatives that can be described as the sensation of a person’s field of closed-eye vision being partially or completely encompassed by shifting geometric patterns, shapes, structures and colour. Whilst LSD and Mushrooms merely display visuals on a veil in front of your visual field with no sense of particular size attributed them. Dissociatives take you directly into the centre of them as if they are surrounding you. They also have a sense of physical size attributed to them.

Dissociative visuals are more simplistic and less intricate than psychedelic visuals. They tend to be darker and slower in terms of how fast they change, only displaying themselves when the tripper has their eyes closed. Simply put, the visuals are more solid and realistic than psychedelic visuals with an actual sense of physical size and 3-Dimensional depth but never quite as detailed or complex.

===Spaces and holes===
The spaces and holes encountered on Dissociatives are something that is experienced once the detachment has reached level 3. When you have finally become completely disconnected from your physical body. Causing you to undergo an out of body experience and be pulled into a place that feels as if it is outside of reality.

A place that is commonly referenced to by the dissociative community as a hole. With drug-specific manifestations of this state being known as “the K-hole” for Ketamine and the “M-hole” for MXE. Commonly described as a complete loss of bodily awareness and sensations of floating or falling through a dark and infinite void over great physical distances. Often done on what feels like some sort of invisible rail. A feeling that is interpreted by many people as flying through space or the night sky. With many trippers stating that they feel as though their perceptions are located so deep inside the mind that the real world seems so distant that it might as well not exist.

In terms of its appearance, a typical dissociative hole is usually completely dark with occasional clouds of slow-moving amorphous colour clouds in the background. At their lowest level they are completely empty, but as dosage is increased they are accompanied by and filled with a wide variety of elaborate and complex structures which are described in detail below.

===Hallucinatory structures===
[[File:SI6XZ.png|200px|thumb|right]]
Dissociative induced hallucinatory structures are the only feature found within what would otherwise be completely empty spaces and holes. They can generally be described as 3-Dimensional and monolithic shapes or structures of infinite variety and size that float above, below or in front of you as they gradually zoom, rotate or pan into focus and become unveiled before your eyes at a slow pace. These structures can take any static comprehensible shape possible but can commonly be experienced as vast and giant pillars, columns, blocks, teardrops, wheels and pyramids. Often fractal in nature and capable of being manifested in any variety of colours but usually following darker themes and tones. In terms of the materials that they appear to be comprised of and the complexity of detail in which they are perceived in, dissociative structures can be broken into 4 basic levels.

'''1. 2-Dimensional Structures'''

The most basic level of structural complexity confines it’s geometry to strictly 2-Dimensional shapes. These shapes are usually very flat and dark in their colour and often “felt” instead of seen in a way that cannot be described adequately to the uninitiated. In terms of their size, these structures take up the entirety of a person's visual field but do not appear to have any particular size attributed to them.

'''2. Partially defined 3-Dimensional Structures'''

Above this, the structures become better defined and 3-Dimensional in shape with basic detail in their lighting and shadow. Appearing to be made of semi-transparent condensed colour or solidified shimmering visuals that are seen as ill-defined, soft and out of focus around their edges. In terms of size, these structures appear to be extremely large, stretching out across hundreds and hundreds of metres.

'''3. Fully defined 3-Dimensional Structures'''

Once hallucinatory structures reach their third level of complexity they become fully defined in their shape, edges, lighting, shadow and detail. Often appearing to be made of solid and dense realistic materials such as stone and metal. They are capable of being thousands of miles across themselves and extremely complex in form.

'''4. Self-transforming mechanistic structural universes'''
[[File:WZah0.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
As dosage increases, the detail continues to complexity proportionally until the sensation of seeing the entire universe condensed into an infinitely vast and intricate self-transforming machine structure becomes present. Accompanied by the sudden realization that you are the structure that you are staring down upon and that the structure is also you. In terms of its appearance, this state is extremely hard to describe. The structure can take any form but usually appears to be consistently shaped machine-like structures or clouds that are infinite in size and felt at every point of detail across themselves. This is immediately interpreted through some sort of innate instinct as “the universe” or at least, “everything” by everybody who undergoes the experience.

Structures typically last anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes before the person slips back into reality or into the presence of another structure. There are three different methods through which these hallucinatory structures are shifted between.

*'''Structural Transformations''' - structures can switch between each other by morphing around you in a static, comprehensible way. Something that usually unfolds in front of you in a rather slow, step by step morphing process.
*'''Structural Panning''' - structures can switch between each other by remaining completely static in their shape but simply panning out of view until they are no longer within your field of vision. It’s from here that another structure usually comes into view from behind your physical body within a few seconds to a couple of minutes. Allowing the cycle of continuous spontaneous structures to go on undisturbed.
*'''Travelling over great distances''' - The third method of transitioning is experienced when the structures appear to be stuck in place whilst you are floating silently between them over what feels like a huge and physical distance. This is often done on an invisible rail through the vast and infinite dissociative hole. A feeling that is interpreted by many people as flying through space or the night sky.

===Hallucinatory states===
Hallucinations and scenarios are only possible during very high dose trips and an intensely realistic component of the Dissociative experience. They could be anything but generally fall under common archetypes such as contact with autonomous entities, imagined landscapes, alternate dimensions, replayed memories and situations that seem so unlike anything previously experienced that they are in all probability, untranslatable into English. Starting out by following a feeling of detachment from the hallucination itself, for example watching autonomous people and entities going about their daily business oblivious to your existence, playing out as if it were a film. At higher doses of hallucinatory states they become increasingly involved, accessing distant memories from your past is also completely possible. Replayed memories can feel like weeks and weeks of real-time hallucinations and are perfect in every detail.

In comparison to psychedelics, they are more solid and not made of a closed eye visual based material. The solidity and detachment from these scenarios are what separates them in my opinion from any entity contact or hallucinations experienced on drugs such as Mushrooms or LSD.

==Harm Reduction==

*Driving or operating machinery under the influence of dissociatives is strongly discouraged. Your spatial awareness is extremely limited, even when mildly intoxicated.
*On higher does coordination is imparted to the point that any movement should be as limited as possible. A safe environment without hazards is recommended (such as a bed). Most of the damage imparted by dissociatives are through users hurting themselves while attempting to move around while impaired.
*Nausea can happen on many dissociatives, usually directly after dosing - usually only if there are stomach contents. It is best to not eat for 3-4 hours before dosing.
*Dissociatives may be neurotoxic.<ref>http://dx.doi.org/10.1126%2Fscience.2660263</ref> Moderation is advised.
*Some dissociatives (such as ketamine) are known to have negative impacts on bladder health.<ref>http://www.hkmj.org/article_pdfs/hkm1002p6.pdf</ref>, and it is suspected in others.
*If using a new substance having a sober person available may limit the fallout from unexpected effects.
*Doctors usually prescribe Ativan (Lorazepam/Benzodiazepine) and Haldol (anti-psychotic) to treat overdoses.
*As always, contact emergency professionals if you think you are a danger to yourself or others.
* Excessive use or overdose of dissociatives has been known to cause muscle breakdown (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis rhabdomyolysis]), which is a potentially fatal condition.

===Interactions===

It is generally unwise to mix CNS depressants, such as benzodiazepines or alcohol, as it increases the risk of an overdose through respiratory depression. Certain dissociatives also carry particular constraints in terms of interactions. See the [[Drug combinations]] chart for more information.

===Research Chemicals===

The dangers of research chemical dissociatives inherit many of the potential dangers of the more traditional dissociatives including overdose mania, muscle degradation etc and as with most well-established dissociatives, most of the new RCs carry a heavy risk of addiction. However, due to the new and unresearched nature of these drugs, the thresholds at which these negative effects occur is relatively unknown. [[MXE]] was created with the express intent of reducing the risk of urinary tract damage through higher potency, users with a high tolerance to the drug will take large amounts of material to experience effects, and there is no information about how it differs from other dissociatives with respect to such damage.

As with some more well-established dissociatives, there is often a wide range of isomer configurations which lead to inconsistencies in effects from one batch to another.

It is fairly common practice for vendors to misrepresent their product in various ways. There have been batches of RC dissos released which have been found to contain chemicals left-over from the manufacturer. There have also been many anecdotes reporting incidents of batches being sold with other active cuts. Since these drugs are all very new there have been very few actual laboratory analysis reports on the exact content of various RC dissos, and as such, there is a fair bit of speculation and misinformation circulating about all RCs. Furthermore, vendors and manufacturers have been known to make exaggerated claims that have never been actually proven (for example, the theory that MXE will be less physically destructive than its cousin [[Ketamine]] originated from one of the first vendors to carry the product)

Consider the case of Methoxyphenidine, which was named as such and abbreviated as 'MXP' specifically to be marketed as an MXE replacement, where in reality MXP is closer to PCP than it is to MXE in chemical structure and effects.

Opioids

[[File:Papaver_somniferum.jpg|250px|right|Close-up color photo of a Papaver somniferum pod]]

Opiates and opioids are classes of depressant analgesics derived from or chemically similar to substances found in Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy. They include both naturally occurring and synthetic substances. The term opiate is often used interchangeably for the term opioid. Opiate is limited to the natural alkaloids found in the resin of the poppy. Opioid refers to both opiates and synthetic substances as well as opioid peptides. The analgesic effect of opioids are due to decreased perception of pain, decreased reaction to pain as well as increased pain tolerance. They can also be used as for their antitussive properties.

*[[Codeine]]

*[[Heroin]]

*[[Hydrocodone]]

*[[Hydromorphone]]

*[[Methadone]]

*[[Oxycodone]]

*[[Oxymorphone]]

*[[Tramadol]]

= History =

Opioids are among the world's oldest known drugs; the therapeutic use of the opium poppy predates recorded history. Excavations of the remains of Neolithic settlements in Switzerland (the Cortaillod culture, 3200-2600 B.C.), have shown that Papaver was already being cultivated then; perhaps for the food value in the seeds (45% oil), which we know as poppy seeds. The slightly narcotic property of this plant was undoubtedly already known then.

[[Opium]] contains a considerable number of different substances, and in the nineteenth century, these were isolated. In 1806 Friedrich Serturner was the first to extract one of these substances in its pure form. He called morphine after Morpheus, the Greek god of sleep. Codeine (Robiquet, 1832) and papaverine (Merck, 1848) followed. These pure substances supplanted the use of raw opium for medical purposes. Like opium, they were frequently used as painkillers and as anti-diarrheal. The invention of the hypodermic needle in the mid-nineteenth century led to widespread use of morphine intravenously as a painkiller and recreational drug.

= Effects =

All opiate drugs have similar effects. At low doses, they relieve pain and anxiety, and if the dose is increased, they produce a sedative effect. The analgesic (painkiller) effects of opioids are due to decreased perception of pain, decreased reaction to pain as well as increased pain tolerance. Opioids can cause cough suppression, which can be both an indication of opioid administration or an unintended side effect.

Opiates influence the pupils: they contract (miosis). This is an extremely reliable signal of opiate use. Besides this, when suffocation occurs (as a result of respiratory inhibition) in the case of an overdose, the pupils dilate (mydriasis).

The most striking quality of painkilling effect of opiates is that it has virtually no effect whatever on the other sensory perceptions, consciousness or the motor functions. All other substances with a painkilling effect, such as laughing gas, alcohol, ether and barbiturates also have, in an effective dose, a definite effect on consciousness, motor coordination, the intellect and emotional control. The drowsiness which can be caused by opiates is experienced only at high dosage.

Opiates are affecting respiratory center. Both frequency and the depth of breathing is reduced. In the case of overdose, respiration can come to a complete halt resulting in death.

Dependence is characterised by unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that occur if opioid use is abruptly discontinued. The withdrawal symptoms for opiates include severe dysphoria, craving for another opiate dose, irritability, sweating, nausea, rhinorrhea, tremor, vomiting and myalgia.

== Positive ==

*Euphoria

*Analgesic effect

*Pain relief

== Neutral ==

*Itching

== Negative ==

*Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (More sensitive to pain after stopping the use)

*Nausea

*Vomiting

*Constipation

*Respiratory depression

= Addiction =

Opiates also give us the classical model of addiction. Used regularly, they produce tolerance - a need to continue increasing the dose in order to get the same effect, and stopping after repeated use produces withdrawal symptoms that can reinforce the addiction - physical discomfort and a mental craving for the drug, driving the user to continue taking the drug despite negative consequences of behaviour.

= Chemistry and Pharmacology =

An opioid is any psychoactive chemical that resembles an opiate in its pharmacological effects. They work by binding to the opioid receptors (Delta, Kappa, Mu) Which are found in the Central/Peripheral nervous system and in the GI tract.

= Harm Reduction =

Avoid driving on higher doses.

Opioid analgesics do not cause any specific organ toxicity, unlike many other drugs, such as aspirin and acetaminophen. They are not associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and renal toxicity, however, people seeking codeine experiences from medications that contain acetaminophen (paracetamol) may be putting themselves at risk for acetaminophen-related complications such as liver damage. In the case of Acetaminophen and aspirin-containing medications, [[Cold Water Extraction]] is useful to reduce the amount of non-opioid analgesics ingested

If possible, having Naloxone available (especially when dealing with high doses) is a good idea. Naloxone is a pure opioid antagonist, which means it reverses the effects of opiate drugs and can reverse overdose symptoms.

Some users have noted that following the "3-day rule" prevents chemical dependency with some opioids, meaning that using no more than 3 days in a row. (this has no medical basis, however, and should be taken as only a guideline at best)

When preparing IV solutions for injection of street drugs, a wheel filter (micron filter) is essential for reducing particulate matter in the solution, as well as using sterile needles, and clean distilled water. Never re-use injection equipment

== Interactions ==

Don't mix any of the class with any other CNS [[Depressants]] as it increases the risk of an overdose and respiratory depression.

[[Tramadol]] and [[Meperidine]] are affecting serotonin levels in the brain and might cause Serotonin Syndrome with some combinations. Check [[Drug Combinations]] for more information.

==Research Chemicals==

Respiratory depression is one of the very common side effects with this class and puts users at a high risk of overdose. With research chemicals, this is a particular issue since there are some substances being openly sold for which a single microgram can be the difference between life and death. With the emerging research chemical market for opioids, most have been explored in-vivo (outside of a human) and also in-vitro (in human) - though there are some exceptions (e.g. W-18/Acryl-Fentanyl).

It's suggested to start at the lowest possible dose; in the case of W-18, animal testing has shown it to be around 10,000x the potency of Morphine. So the logical way to start is either to volumetrically dose or use a precise scale with a +/- microgram amount. Titrating up to an active dose with this class might be the most difficult, due to the massively steep dosage curves.

See the [[Research Chemicals]] page for more information.

== Do not ignore harm reduction advice given by staff and community==
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
! If a user has taken or continues to take a dangerous dose or combination, they may be forced to leave the network
|-
| Occasionally we have users join our community mistakenly expecting that, due to the subject matter of the community, we will support them in their dangerous behavior, use, and/or attitudes towards drug use.
|-
| It is seen as the responsibility of not only the staff, but the community's members to actively discourage dangerous behavior.
|-
| Please accept and consider the advice given to you seriously and note that ignorance of advice pertaining to potentially life threatening situations will not be tolerated by our community.
|-
| As such, these behaviors are considered against the rules and violators may be subjected to temporary or permanent bans (situation depending).

== Do not threaten suicide==
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
! While TripSitters will try their best to help member cope with down feelings of depression or worse, we cannot tolerate threats of suicide.
|-
| Suicide, depression and mental illness are not the focus of our network and our staff is not adequately trained to deal with suicidal situations, nor is it fair to our network's members to have the onus of guilt placed upon them for potential outcomes of such situations.
|-
| If a member is experiencing suicidal thoughts or tendencies, we kindly ask them to consider professional therapeutic assistance.
|-
| In a situation in which we fear for a user’s life, we will remind them of the guidelines stated above and do everything in our power to assist the member find qualified help.
|-
| These behaviors disrupt the primary objectives of our community.
|-
| Therefore, suicide threats and attempts are considered against the rules, and while we will try our best to help in the immediate timescale, such threats and attempts may result in either a temporary or permanent ban from the community (under discretion from the administrators).

How to Connect using IRCCloud

2016-10-26T21:08:12Z

Toasterlizard: Added mobile and desktop screenshots

While TripSit allows most IRC clients to connect without registering a nickname first, the way IRCCloud's client/relaying service is designed facilitates an excessive amount of use solely for the purposes of evading bans on our network.

For this reason TripSit now requires IRCCloud users to identify with SASL. Don't worry, this is easier than it sounds.

You will need to connect using a different client/service at least once to register your nickname. You can use [https://chat.tripsit.me/ kiwi] to do this.

==Register a nickname==
Connect using a different client/service and register a nickname with NickServ (More information can be found on the [[How To Register your Nickname]] page.)

==Configure IRCCloud==
Set it to connect to '''irc.tripsit.me''' on '''port 6697'''; Configure your client to identify with SASL, otherwise you won't be able to connect. IRCCloud doesn't label it as such, but this is accomplished by clicking '''Advanced Options''', then putting in your '''NickServ''' password in the provided text box. Click '''save'''.

[[Media:IRCCloud sasl desktop.png|Screenshot of IRCCloud setup for SASL on desktop]]

3. You acknowledge IRC is a free, real-time, unmoderated media, and as such, TripSit Managers have little-to-no control over what users say in a chat room and cannot delete comments once they have been said.

4. TripSit may block access to users whose IRC clients run on (or connect through) hosts with open proxies, abuse-heavy anonymizer services, trojans, botnets, or other categories of software determined to present special risk to TripSit-operated server environment.

5. TripSit reserves the right to use automation to attempt to detect such software on your host, as you connect to TripSit servers, while you remain connected to the network and on occasion during post-connection analysis. Your use of the network signifies your acceptance.

6. If you do not accept the above policy, any use of TripSit IRC from your facilities is unauthorized and should cease immediately, after which TripSit Managers will be happy to discuss the matter further.

7. If you've been affected by a connect limit or a server ban, please feel free to appeal via email to: appeals at tripsit dot me. Sometimes users are affected by problems not of their own making. TripSit administrators will try to remove the ban or provide an exception if possible.

8. By continuing to enter and browse TripSit and it's systems, you are implying that you have read, understand and are in agreement with all of the terms stated in this document

How to Connect using IRCCloud

2016-08-12T17:25:05Z

Toasterlizard: Changed to reflect IRCcloud's sasl settings.

While TripSit allows most IRC clients to connect without registering a nickname first, the way IRCCloud's client/relaying service is designed facilitates an excessive amount of use solely for the purposes of evading bans on our network.

For this reason TripSit now requires IRCCloud users to identify with SASL. Don't worry, this is easier than it sounds.

You will need to connect using a different client/service at least once to register your nickname. You can use [https://chat.tripsit.me/ kiwi] to do this.

==Register a nickname==
Connect using a different client/service and register a nickname with NickServ (More information can be found on the [[How To Register your Nickname]] page.)

==Configure IRCCloud==
Set it to connect to '''irc.tripsit.me''' on '''port 6697'''; Configure your client to identify with SASL, otherwise you won't be able to connect. IRCCloud doesn't label it as such, but this is accomplished by clicking '''advanced''', then putting in your '''NickServ''' password in the provided text box. Click '''save'''.

==Connect==
Connect! If there's any issue, the '''#help''' room has staff there to address network-related issues, such as problems connecting.

How to Connect using IRCCloud

2016-07-22T10:52:43Z

Toasterlizard: Created page

While TripSit allows most IRC clients to connect without registering a nickname first, the way IRCCloud's client/relaying service is designed facilitates an excessive amount of use solely for the purposes of evading bans on our network.

For this reason TripSit now requires IRCCloud users to identify with SASL.

You will need to connect using a different client/service at least once to register your nickname. You can use [https://chat.tripsit.me/ kiwi] to do this.

==Register a nickname==
Connect using a different client/service and register a nickname with NickServ (More information can be found on the [[How To Register your Nickname]] page.)

==Configure your IRC client==
Set up your client to connect to '''irc.tripsit.me''' on '''port 6697'''; Configure your client to identify with '''SASL''', otherwise you won't be able to connect. (A guide on how to configure SASL can be found [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl here]).

Connect! If there's any issue, the #help room has staff there to address network-related issues, such as problems connecting.

Rules Summary

2016-06-27T17:01:00Z

Toasterlizard: Corrected typo

This page is a summary of our [[Rules]].

==Do not ask where to get currencies or substances, or discuss vendors of currencies or substances==
Legal, Illegal, it doesn't matter. This is called "sourcing" is not allowed for various reasons (see the full [[Rules]] page).

==Do not ask where to get substances or currencies, or discuss vendors of currencies or substances==
This rule is important, so it's stated twice.

==Use common sense. If you think "this might be sketchy" then /join #tripsit.me to ask. ==
Most of our rules are stuff that should be known to most people who frequent the internet.
People who lack the judgement to determine common sense are welcome to /join #tripsit.me to speak to the managers.

==If it's not allowed on most websites, it's probably not allowed here. ==
We don't ask much more than what is acceptable on reddit. Please use your good judgement.

==Keep the community positive: Do not harass users or staff. ==
TripSit is a positive community. Degrading the community is a no-no.

==Do not give harmful information. If you're not sure your information is accurate, it's better to not say it.==
No information is better than wrong information. We're a harm reduction network, and take giving bad advice very seriously.

==Do not ignore harm reduction advice given by the community.==
While the people here are not qualified to give medical advice, there is a wealth of collective knowledge that will lead to urging of a particular direction. If the community is, for example, telling a user not to ingest any more of a substance, or to call EMS, and the user refuses to act upon this harm reduction advice, they may be removed from the room and network.

==Do not use the terms "faggot" or "nigger" in TripSit owned channels.==
These two terms have a highly negative connotation to them, and are hardly useful for productive conversation.

==Do not be under 13 and using our network. ==
This is in compliance with US law. If you're under 13 you need to have your parents permission.

==Do not be under 18 and be in IRC channels other than #tripsit and temporarily #sanctuary. ==
For details on why we have an 18+ rule, please check the blog post: http://tripsit.me/tripsit-chat-to-become-18-only/

2C-E

2016-06-19T02:10:24Z

Toasterlizard: Corrected "Insulated" to "Insufflated"

[[File:2ce.jpg|thumb|150px|Vial of 2C-E with powder]]

'''2C-E''' is a chemical of the [[2C-X]] series which is characterised by its particularly intense visuals and higher potency when compared with other members of the family.

== History ==

2C-E, like many of its close analogues, was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and published in PiHKAL. He was quite fond of it, granting it a place in his "Magical Half Dozen" alongside of [[DOM]], [[2C-B]], [[2C-T-2]] & 7 and [[mescaline]].

== Usage ==

2C-E is mainly a recreational entheogen. It can be quite introspective in appropriate doses and settings. It doesn't lend itself well to intense party-like surroundings, much like LSD or similarly intense psychedelics.

== Dosage ==

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Oral

|-

| Light || 5-10mg

|-

| Common || 10-15mg

|-

| Strong || 15-30mg

|-

| Heavy || 25-40mg+

|}

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Insufflated

|-

| Light || 1-3mg

|-

| Common || 3-7mg

|-

| Strong || 6-10mg

|-

| Heavy || 10mg+

|}

== Duration ==

Note: Duration can be significantly longer with higher doses.

Anecdotal evidence has shown the oral onset of 2C-E may vary wildly for some users, taking up to three hours before first effects in some cases.

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Oral

== Effects ==

2C-E is a psychedelic phenethylamine and as such has psychedelic and stimulant effects. As with all psychedelics, different users are likely to experience different sets of effects, which usually include some however very rarely would include all of the following effects.

Compared to other members of the 2C-X family, 2C-E is generally considered to have a heavier body load and to be more visual than its counterparts.

Note: The prevalence of negative effects increases with higher doses.

=== Positive ===

* Mood lift, euphoria, sense of well-being

* Enhanced sensory perception

* Increase in associative & creative thinking; introspection

* Life-changing 'spiritual' experiences

* Closed and Open eye visuals, patterning, tracers, color-enhancement, etc.

* Enhanced appreciation of music

* Increase in energy

=== Neutral ===

* Time dilation

* Slight increase in heart-rate and body temperature

* Inability to focus or difficulty focusing

=== Negative ===

* Tension

* Anxiety, restlessness, confusion

* Dizziness

* Nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, possible vomiting

* Over-sensitivity to music or other sensory stimuli

* Unwanted 'spiritual' experiences

* Racing thoughts

== Harm Reduction ==

* As with all psychedelic drugs 2C-E carries with it the potential for a very powerful experience, and as such has the potential to create a very difficult experience ('bad' trip). Mindset and setting play important roles in governing the nature of a psychedelic experience, among other things.

See [[Psychedelics#Harm_Reduction|Psychedelic Harm Reduction]] for more information.

* As with all stimulants, care should be taken when dosing via different ROAs. The oral route has a much lower bioavailabity than those that bypass first pass metabolism i.e. Insulated, rectal, intramuscular, intravenous and subcutaneous.

See [[Stimulants#Harm Reduction|Stimulant Harm Reduction]] for more information.

=== Interactions ===

See the [[Drug combinations]] chart for more information.

== Chemistry and Pharmacology ==

=== Chemistry ===

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine is a colorless oil and analogue of mescaline. Similarly it is classified as a psychedelic phenethylamine. It shares the substituted amphetamine core found in the structure of many entactogens. Crystalline forms are obtained as the amine salt by reacting the free base with a mineral acid, typically HCl. It is soluble in both water and ethanol. Maximum concentration in H2O is reported at ~50mg/ml and it is said to be relatively stable in solution. A drop below normal ambient temperatures can cause particles to crystalize out.

Shulgin does not report an exact boiling point for the free base, stating only that during one synthesis the fraction boiling between 90-100 °C at 0.25 mmHg pressure was collected and converted to the hydrochloride salt. Shulgin reports the melting point of the hydrochloride salt as 208.5-210.5 °C.

A full write up on Shulgin's synthesis for 2C-E can be found [https://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal024.shtml here].

=== Pharmacology ===

Like most psychedelic drugs, 2C-E is a 5-HT2a Agonist; from that, we can presume the concurrent or pre-administration of SSRIs may reduce the effects of 2C-E. 2C-E is one of the most potent of the 2C-X family, behind only 2C-P and 2C-T-4. The 2C-X family, specifically, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-C all stimulated G protein binding, suggesting more of an activity similar to tryptamines such as 5-MeO-DMT and, interestingly, DPT. G Proteins are membrane proteins that effectively mediate interaction between hormone receptors and enzymes responsible for changes of metabolism as a result of hormonal changes.

In rats, Stage I metabolism involved deamination and O-Demthylation, which are related to the Monoamine oxidase (MAO) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. For virtually all the 2C’s, (B,I,D,E,T-2, and T-7), MAO-A and MAO-B were reacted upon; interestingly, ½ of the molecules in Shulgin’s Magical Half Dozen (2C-E, 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, with the addition of 2C-D) also act to a small extent on the CYP2D6 enzyme. Because of the commonality of these receptors, the 2C-X family is likely to be more reactive with other concurrently administered chemicals.

=== LD50 ===

The LD50 in humans is not currently known. Use caution when exploring high doses of this compound.

== Legal status ==

* In Australia, 2C-E was added to the 'Dangerous Drugs' list of the 'Drugs Misuse Amendment Act 2008.

* In Denmark, 2C-E has been added to the list of Schedule B controlled substances.

* In New Zealand, 2C-E is illegal under the Analogues section of Schedule 3 / Class C, along with 2C-I, DOI, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine.

* In Sweden, 2C-E has been made illegal to sell or possess under their Act on the Prohibition of Certain Goods Dangerous to Health (''lagen om förbud mot vissa hälsofarliga varor'').

* In the UK, 2C-E is a Class A controlled Substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act's 2002 amendments and as such is illegal to possess to supply.

* In Germany, 2C-E is a Schedule I drug as of late 2014.

* In the USA, 2C-E is a Schedule I substance under the FDA Safety and Innovation act of 2012, and is illegal to possess, distribute or manufacture.

=== Channel Flags ===
Channel flags are set on a user. They allow access to various permissions. '''Flags are not lost when a user leaves the channel. They must be manually removed.'''

Flags can be set via !flags user +/- flags or via /msg ChanServ flags #channel user +/- flags. '''+flags sets flags, -flags removes them.'''

'''User must have a NickServ registered account to have flags set on them.'''

*+v - Enables use of the voice/devoice commands. '''!voice/!devoice user (or /msg ChanServ voice/devoice #channel user) if no user is provided, voice will be applied/removed to yourself.'''

*+V - Enables automatic voice.

*+o - Enables use of the op/deop commands. '''!op/!deop user (or /msg ChanServ op/deop #channel user) if no user is provided, op will be applied/removed to yourself.'''

*+O - Enables automatic op.

*+s - Enables use of the set command. '''For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+i - Enables use of the invite and getkey commands. '''Channel keys can only be set via the set command. For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+r - Enables use of the kick, kickban, ban and unban commands. '''!kick/!kickban/!ban/!unban user/host (or /msg ChanServ kick/kickban/ban/unban #channel user/host) Depending on your client, ban masks will vary. Wildcards * and ? are supported. A ban on *!*@1.2.3.4 will block any nickname and username from the host *!*@1.2.3.4. Pattern is nickname!~username@host.'''

*+R - Enables use of the recover and clear commands. '''For more information, see the [[overview of the clear command]]'''

*+f - Enables modification of channel access lists. '''Channel access list can be viewed by saying '!flags' in a channel, or via /msg ChanServ flags #channel.'''

*+t - Enables use of the topic and topicappend commands. '''!topic will replace the entire topic, !topicappend will add it to the end.'''

*+A - Enables viewing of channel access lists. '''Channel access list can be viewed by saying '!flags' in a channel, or via /msg ChanServ flags #channel.'''

*+S - Marks the user as a successor. '''If the founder of the channel has their NickServ account removed, ownership will transfer to the successor.'''

*+F - Grants full founder access. '''This is not shown in ChanServ info. Ownership must be transferred via the set command. For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+b - Enables automatic kickban.

=== Channel modes ===
Channel modes are set on a channel. They allow you to do many useful things on both users and channels.

Channel modes are set with '''/mode #channel +/- modes'''

+ will set a mode, - will remove it.

*+b, channel ban

:*Bans take one parameter which can take several forms. The most common form is +b nick!user@host. The wildcards * and ? are allowed

:*For example, *!user@host will ban any nickname from a given user.

*+c, colour filter

:*This cmode activates the colour filter for the channel. This filters out bold, underline, reverse video, beeps, mIRC colour codes, and ANSI escapes

*+e, ban exemption

:*This mode takes one parameter of the same form as bans, which overrides +b and +q bans for all clients it matches.

*+f, channel forwarding

:* This mode takes one parameter. +f #channel

:*If you try to join this channel, it will forward to the channel specified.

*+F, allow anybody to forward to this channel

*+g, allow anybody to invite

:*Only applicable if the channel is set +i

*+i, invite only

:*When this cmode is set, no client can join the channel unless they have an invex (+I) or are invited with the INVITE command.

*+I, invite exception (invex)

:*This mode takes one parameter of the same form as bans. Matching clients do not need to be invited to join the channel when it is invite-only

*+j, join throttling

:*This mode takes one parameter of the form n:t, where n and t are positive integers. Only n users may join in each period of t seconds.

*+k, key (channel password)

:*Taking one parameter, when set, this mode requires a user to supply the key in order to join the channel: /JOIN #channel key. '''This is disabled by default and can only be set by the founder of a channel with the set command. For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+l, channel member limit

:*Takes one numeric parameter, the number of users which are allowed to be in the channel before further joins are blocked. Invited users may join regardless. '''This is disabled by default and can only be set by the founder of a channel with the set command. For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+L, large ban list

:*Channels with this mode will be allowed larger banlists (by default, 500 instead of 50 entries for +b, +q, +e and +I together). '''Only network operators with resv privilege may set this mode.'''

*+m, moderated

:*When a channel is set +m, only users with +o or +v on the channel can send to it.

*+n, no external messages

:*When set, this mode prevents users from sending to the channel without being in it themselves. '''This is enabled by default and can only be set by the founder of a channel with the set command. For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+o, channel operator

:*This mode takes one parameter, a nick, and grants or removes channel operator privilege to that user. Channel operators have full control over the channel, having the ability to set all channel modes except +nt-lk, and kick users. Like voiced users, channel operators can always send to the channel, overriding +b, +m and +q modes and the per-channel flood limit. In most clients channel operators are marked with an '@' sign. '''The privilege is lost if the user leaves the channel or server in any way, for this reason it is recommended to set channel operators with the flags command, instead of the mode command.'''

*+p, paranoid channel

:*When set, the KNOCK command cannot be used on the channel to request an invite, and users will not be shown the channel in WHOIS replies unless they are on it.

*+P, permanent channel

:*Channels with this mode the channel will not be destroyed when the last user leaves. '''Cannot be set by a user, must be set by an IRCop'''

:*Note, this is not required on a registered channel as ChanServ joins, and will never leave once it is registered.

*+q, quiet

:*Set the same way as +b, the effect is that they cannot knock on the channel, send to the channel or change their nick while on channel.

*+Q, block forwarded users

:*Channels with this mode set are not valid targets for forwarding. Any attempt to forward to this channel will be ignored, and the user will be handled as if the attempt was never made (by sending them the relevant error message).

*+r, block unidentified

:*When set, this mode prevents unidentified users from joining. Invited users can still join. '''In order to join a +r channel, you must have a NickServ account and be identified.'''

*+s, secret channel

:*When set, this mode prevents the channel from appearing in the output of the LIST, WHO and WHOIS command by users who are not on it. Also, the server will refuse to answer WHO, NAMES, TOPIC and LIST queries from users not on the channel.

*+t, topic limit

:*When set, this mode prevents users who are not channel operators from changing the topic. '''This is enabled by default and can only be set by the founder of a channel with the set command. For more information, see the [[overview of the set command]]'''

*+v, voice

:*This mode takes one parameter, a nick, and grants or removes voice privilege to that user. Voiced users can always send to the channel, overriding +b, +m and +q modes and the per-channel flood limit. In most clients voiced users are marked with a plus sign. '''The privilege is lost if the user leaves the channel or server in any way, for this reason it is recommended to set channel operators with the flags command, instead of the mode command.'''

*+z, reduced moderation

:*When +z is set, the effects of +m, +b and +q are relaxed. For each message, if that message would normally be blocked by one of these modes, it is instead sent to all channel operators. This is intended for use in moderated debates.

==Flags Template==
Alternatively, you may use one of the predefined templates to easily set common flags. This is done with '''/msg ChanServ flags #channel template''' where template is the name of the template. See above for a description of individual flags and what permissions they entail.

*Admin - +AFORVefiorstv

*Aop - +AOotv

*Bot - +ORVeforv

*Founder - +AFORfiorstv

*Moderator - +AVefiorv

*Poweruser - +AViv

*Sop - +AOiorstv

*Vop - +AVv

TripSitter Orientation

2016-04-09T19:19:47Z

Toasterlizard:

= Introduction =

On this page is some vital information for new TripSitters or those wanting to become TripSitters. It will overview all of the common questions about how to perform staff functions. Please review all of the following points and return here or ask another staff member if you have any questions.

= History =

The TripSit network was founded by Techno_shaman (Teknos) in reddit.com/r/tripsit on September 26th, 2011. It progressed into an IRC channel on September 2, 2012 and continues to increase it's focus around harm reduction and providing a safe community for the world's Psychonaut community. It has since grown into a website, live web radio, and social network. So far, we have helped countless people in many different ways. We have been featured by MAPS and we've had several news articles written about us. We're currently expanding our social network and working on developing a real-life presence at festivals and concerts, and you're invited to be a part in the next step in growing our network.

= Staff Duties and Guidelines =

Staff members are positive, nice, respectful and professional in their dealings with members whether regular or staff; they represent the entire network! We want people who have leadership skills and can enforce rules while still promoting a positive environment. They guide conversation to an acceptable level of quality by being firm, while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude.

We want all of our staff members to be role models and regular contributors. All staff supervise and advance a part of the TripSit network. We expect them to be able to devote a reasonable amount of time to TripSit projects, including: Wiki, a TripSit affiliated IRC channel, the Official TinyChat, Twitter, and future TripSit projects. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input!

== Tripsitting ==

Our primary goal as TripSit is to tripsit the universe.

Tripsitters are the backbone of our network. Without their selfless efforts we would not be here today. Each of us have stepped up in the #tripsit room to help people and it's a rite of passage to advance to other positions in the network. As such we have fairly high standards for our tripsitters and expect the best of them.

Never be afraid to defer a question to another member of the team by asking in #teamtripsit or even by using the '~tripsit user' command to call for help. Remember that no information is always preferable to incorrect information.

Check out our [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/How_To_Tripsit_Online tripsitting guide].

=== Redirecting Users ===

There's no telling when a serious case will come in that could seriously alter the mood of other people in the room. It can also become quite chaotic and difficult for people under the influence when there are multiple conversations going on in the room at once. For these reasons we attempt to keep #tripsit relatively clear for users who are in need of help. We do so by assessing the situation of the person in #tripsit, and then suggest they join another room on the network if necessary. Also, sometimes a user enters the channel looking for general chat. In both of these situations, you can direct them to an appropriate channel.

Some good channels to keep in mind for different cirumstances are:

* #drugs - For when the person has high-energy and wants a super-active chat. Avoid suggesting this channel if the person is easily confused or in a fragile mental state.

* #home - Generally a lot more quiet than #drugs, this room can be used as a back-up room if #tripsit is too crowded, or for smaller chats with people who want to socialize, but not in #drugs

* #sanctuary - You are encouraged to use #sanctuary as a place to send users who are on drugs but would rather have lighter, more positive, conversation than #drugs. If a user is on drugs, and needs a quieter chat or perhaps some lighter tripsitting, or if #tripsit is already busy, attempt to redirect them to #sanctuary. This room has enforced positivity knowing that people who are currently on substances will be here. Avoid sending more rambunctious or loud users here.

If a user is on a substance and being spoken to, though not in any particular 'trouble', there is no need to move them to another room as a matter of urgency unless there is another situation happening in the channel - though these cases should eventually be moved to #sanctuary. You can take your time to make sure they're okay before moving them.

General drug questions may be answered in #tripsit, there is no need to redirect these cases unless the room is busy.

=== Managing Tripsitters ===

The #tripsitters channel is our control room for discussing and managing tripsitting encounters. As a tripsitter staff member you will be expected to lead other people who are helping in providing an organised and quality tripsitting experience to our users.

This involves pulling people who are helping out in #tripsit into the channel, and using it to give tips and help to people who are helping. You can also monitor this channel to see a summary of #tripsit activity, and receive alerts for when somebody needs help or may not be receiving help (are talking to themselves in the channel).

=== Emergency Situations ===

Rarely, a user joins #tripsit who is in a state beyond help. This can arise from them simply being unresponsive or refusing to accept advice in the face of dangerous behaviour, or in the case that the user needs to seek medical attention. In such a case, it's acceptable to ~quiet the user in #tripsit, with a note of what the user needs to do. For example, in the past we have quieted users with the reason of "Call EMS immediately".

Since these cases are rare and these measures should not be applied lightly, it's generally a good idea to discuss the user in #teamtripsit and get some confirmation that we cannot help. If the user continues to cause problems on the network after being quieted in #tripsit, refer the situation to a moderator.

=== Crowding ===

If a user is already being helped in #tripsit, use your common sense to decide whether you should get involved in the situation. If a person is already receiving adequate help then it is often better to just keep an eye on the situation to ensure this continues, or advise in #teamtripsit - overcrowding a user under the influence can often be confusing.

If you are entering an on-going tripsitting session, try to either read the scrollback or read any notifications made for this user to gain the wider context before joining the fray.

== Keep the Peace ==

You will be expected to know the network policies and procedures as listed [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/TripSit_Rules here]. Regardless of their role, staff will enforce our rules, recognize misinformation, request citations when needed, and deal with trolls. Remember: No info > bad info. If a user is trolling, becoming overly aggressive, or otherwise causing a problem, staff may ~quiet (syntax below) them in #tripsit and #sanctuary, and ~report them in other channels. Non-staff are welcome to ~report them, and a staff member will come by to take care of it.

=== Record Keeping ===

If there is a noteable instance with a user, you're asked to make a ~warning about it and put logs on a pad. It can be as simple as making a new pad, naming it User: <USER> and pasting the relevant logs. For example, if a user comes in overdosing and needs to call EMS, the details of this event can be put into a pad for future reference. We ask that you use the pad system for record keeping of logs, rather than a third-party service such as pastebin.

== Populate other channels ==

Move conversations to appropriate channels, for example: '''#psychonaut''' for spiritual talk, '''#home''' for general chat, '''#psychopharm''' for chemistry discussion, '''#sanctuary''' and '''#tripsitvip''' for regulars chat.

== Be Involved ==

Try to get involved with the various other TripSit projects. Learn to DJ, contribute to the Wiki. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input! Speak to operators or admins to find out what you can work on.

= Communication and Resources =

Communication is extremely important and as such our team communicates in a number of different ways.

== IRC ==

=== Required Staff Channels ===

All staff members should be on at least these channels:

* '''#tripsit''': Our flagship channel for immediate assistance. Please idle here and if you see someone ping you with the !tripsit or ~tripsit command do your best to respond. Remember: KIP! (Keep it positive!)

* '''#tripsitters''': Our "control room" for discussing and managing experiences in #tripsit. Use this channel to discuss tripsitting cases, and to help other tripsitters.

* '''#drugs''': This channel is not your main priority but you are welcome to help guide the conversation here. This channel is by far our network's busiest channel.

* '''#teamtripsit''': This is our primary staff communication channel. Please put this on your autojoin to discuss events on the network with other staff. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions! This is a channel for all staff to discuss network issues. #tripsit issues take priority here and social chat will need to stop if a tripsitter needs assistance. You may be asked to move a social conversation to #tripsitvip if it is quiet.

=== Other Staff Rooms ===

*'''#tripsit.me''': This is the meta-TripSit channel. We discuss things that impact the network outside of IRC or when a serious issue needs to be talked about in a quieter room. Tripsitters are welcome to join to discuss a particular issue but not to idle. Other non-staff may join this room to discuss an issue with the upper-admin team, but they are not allowed to idle after their issue is resolved.

== Other ==

=== TripPads ===

Etherpad our document handling platform, hosted [http://tripsit.titanpad.com here]. We have a large amount of documents here on different subjects.

*Only staff members have access to the pads by default.

*Only make a pad password protected if you have consulted with one of the admins about the contents of the pad. Admins have access to password protected pads and will investigate locked pads if their purpose is unknown.

=== Emails ===

Staff members are entitled to an @tripsit.me email address. This email should be used for staff communication only.

=== /r/tripsit subreddit ===

Remember that a fair amount of tripsitting happens on the /r/tripsit subreddit, so try to check there frequently for anyone who needs help! If you're a heavy reddit user, you can ask Teknos to be made a moderator on the subreddit. Once this happens, you will be asked to comment and flair posts.

=== Wiki ===

This Wiki is a good source for information about the network, harm reduction information and staff information.

= Basic Tripbot Commands =

This section will cover a few basic tripbot commands you'll need. You can find more information about there [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands here] or by asking another staff member.

== Notifications ==

Notifications are a main source of communication on our network. As a tripsitter, you will start to receive #tripsit notifications from TripBot that detail the events that happen in #tripsit. Some people feel this is too noisy, so you may run '~nunsub #tripsit' to only see these notifications in #tripsitters rather than receive PMs about them every time.

You're not required to do notifications for tripsitting encounters, however if you would like to go above and beyond, you can certainly make a new notify with extra details not contained in the first notify, called an update notification. The details of how to send an update notify are so:

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~notify <#room> <message> <@assistant> <#drug> <#update>'''

* <#room> is the room that you want the command to be sent to. Everyone voiced in that room will receive the notification. You need to prefix this with #.

* <user> is the nickname of the user who was assisted and should always be the first word in the notify. Tripbot automatically attaches the host of the first word to the notify.

* <message> is whatever the new information is. Maybe someone's experience quickly spiraled downhill, or perhaps they improved!

* <@assistant> are other people in the channel who helped you out with the <user>. You need to prefix each assistant with a @ before their username.

* <#drug> is the name of the drug which was involved, you can include one or more which were involved.

** If a drug has many aliases, any are acceptable. For example, #alprazolam is just as good as #xanax.

** If the encounter involved more general questions about a particular class of drug, you can use e.g. #psychedelics.

* <#update> This signifies that the notify you're sending is not for a new person, but updating the status of someone who has already been helped.

Examples:

* ~notify #tripsit Tripsitme_8192 came back in to let us know that they got a friend to watch over them.

* ~notify #tripsit Tripsitme_8192 @toasterlizard also helped #update.

You are also encouraged to use the function to notify #teamtripsit if you wish to send announcements to other staff. Use this as much as you'd like. Notifications sent to you while offline will be stored and you'll be notified of them when you next log into IRC.

== #tripsit Entry Alerts ==

Entry Alerts will alert you when a previously unrecognised user enters #tripsit who may potentially need help.

~gettripsitentries to receive them, ~notripsitentries to stop receiving them.

== Report ==

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~report <#room> <user> <message>'''

As a Tripsitter, this command will primarily be used to get the attention of more staff to a problem user in channels besides #tripsit or #sanctuary. This will send a notice to everyone voiced in the room reported to. When you're on the receiving end of a report for #tripsit or #sanctuary, you have the ability to ~quiet users (explained below), and we ask that you send a ~notify to #teamtripsit to acknowledge that staff has followed through on the report and what the outcome was. Encourage regular users to employ use of this command, we rely on reports to know when thing's are not right.

Example: /msg tripbot ~report #drugs Teknos is being a jerk.

== Quiet ==

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~quiet [time(<integer><units>)] <user> <reason>'''

[time] is optional if you intend to manually remove the quiet when the situation has passed, where <integer> is a number and <units> is either h or m, for hours or minutes respectively.

Example: (in either #tripsit or #sanctuary) ~quiet 5m Teknos Being a jerk.

This command can be given to users to give them a 'time out' in a room. This will prevent the user from talking, but only in this room. You can set the time limit to your discretion, but generally small issues don't need more than a 5-10 minute quiet to get the point across.

== Default Nicknames ==

Sometimes a user will come in with a default nickname. We have a system for determining where they came from, which helps know why they're here. Further, knowing which channels they join on entry allows you to speak to them in the channel that they're are first focused on. Following the default nickname is a list of channels. The '''last''' channel in the list is the landing channel.

=== Immediate Attention Nicknames===

These nickname comes from one of our immediate assistance links. The TripsitMe nickname is used in various locations on the web, including the homepage of tripsit.me and /r/drugs.

{| class="wikitable"

! Nickname !! Channels !! Source

|-

| TripsitMe || #tripsit || Various

|-

| Sapling || #tripsit || /r/saplings

|}

=== Social Nicknames ===

The following greeted upon entry, this isn't always possible, considering the volume of people that join #tripsit. Do your best to be welcoming though!

{| class="wikitable"

! Nickname !! Channels !! Source

|-

| Social || #drugs, #home || General chat @ tripsit.me

|-

| TripGuy || #drugs, #tripsit, #home || /r/drugs

Moderator Orientation

2016-04-09T19:11:25Z

Toasterlizard: Updated with changes made to commands, minor formatting

Moderator responsibilities would be best summed up with the word "guidance". Moderators' primary function is to enforce the rules and attempt to keep a positive environment! They represent our network and make sure that things are going smoothly, as well as having some more input on rule formation and other TripSit activites. Moderators are able to perform moderator actions via TripBot in all channels where tripbot has op, i.e. nbans and quiets will only take effect in rooms where tripbot has the 'o' flag. Whenever you have doubts/need advice/help, do not forget about ~teamtripsit or ask in #moderators! New moderators are asked to watch the process and ask questions for a while to get a feel for how we moderate.

== Reports ==

/msg TripBot ~report [#channel] <user> <reason>

'''[#channel] is optional; defaults to the channel the command was used in.'''
'''<reason> should be as descriptive as possible, and may even include a link to a pad of logs.'''

Moderators will receive notifications of user 'reports' which take place in a certain room. If you're around, please respond to these reports and follow up with some kind of action stating you have dealt with the situation (detailed ~report handling procedure below). For example, doing a ~notify that you verbally talked with someone is considered an action, a ~warn could also be appropriate, depending on the situation. Sometimes, the report function is abused, and when this happens, explain to the issuer that it is not something to abuse; repeat offenders should be ~warn'ed.

==== Checking a users status ====

/msg tripbot ~ustatus <user>

/msg tripbot ~sustatus <user>

/msg tripbot ~concerning <user>

The ~ustatus command is great for getting the current status of a user (banned, unbanned, number of quiets, reports and warnings). For a listing of all reports, quiets, and warnings a user has accumulated, the commands ~sustatus is used. ~ustatus will provide a simple count of each, while ~sustatus will print the full reasons for reports, quiets, and warnings a user has been issued. Further, using the ~concering command, you can get a user's history from when they have seeked help in #tripsit. '''As this is considered sensitive material, ~ustatus and ~sustatus can only be run in #tripsit.me, #tripbot, #moderators or in PM. ~concerning can be used only in #teamtripsit, #tripsitters, #tripsit.me and PM.'''

== Warning ==

/msg TripBot ~warn <user> <reason> #note

'''You can also provide an automatic warn when placing a ~quiet by including #warn in the reason.'''

'''#note is optional. When used, it will not send the user a PM regarding the warning. This is used often after giving the user a verbal warning, to keep a record of it.'''

Warnings are counted and permanently stored for staff to view past events. These should be utilised as much as possible, as it provides a good record for us when considering a ban. The user is notified of the warning when it is issued, and is considered a formal warning. However, a warning is not a replacement for actually speaking to the user to explain what they did and why it's not acceptable. People appreciate being talked to by a human, rather than just being notified from an automatic system. Verbal warnings suffice most of the time, but it does not hurt to apply a #note warning (silent, non-formal) so that we can look back on it if needed. Repeat behaviour should usually lead to a formal warning, and sourcing ''always'' leads to a warning/quiet.

== Quiet ==

/msg TripBot ~quiet [time(<integer><units>)] [#room] <user> <reason> #warn

'''[time] is optional if you intend to manually remove the quiet when the situation has passed, where <integer> is a number and <units> is either h or m, for hours or minutes respectively.'''

'''<#room> is optional if you are using the command in the target room.'''

'''#warn is used to automatically apply a warning with the quiet reason.'''

'''Example: ~quiet 5m Teknos Being a jerk.'''

This command can be given to users to give them a 'time out' in a room. This will prevent the user from talking, but only in this room. You can set the time limit to your discretion, but generally small issues don't need more than a 5-10 minute quiet to get the point across.

As a Moderator, this command will be your secondary mode of recourse against a problem user, after verbal warning have failed, or the infraction is severe enough to merit a 'time out'. This command prevents the user from speaking in the channel or changing their nickname; and also sends a notify to staff in that channel. For example, a ~quiet in #drugs will alert all moderators to the quiet, while a ~quiet in #tripsit will alert all tripsitters to the quiet. It is an excellent tool for trolls and rowdy users who need a small break to cool off. It's usually better to employ a timed quiet rather than a permanent one, since this is difficult to follow up and is more of a 'permanent' solution, which isn't generally the intended use of a quiet.

Often a good method of 'moderation' is simply to attempt to guide a channel into a reasonable conversation. It's almost always better to try and defuse a situation with your words, than to immediately move towards silencing or warning a user. Most people listen to reason, and simply changing the subject is often an effective tactic in ceasing any buffoonery. ~question, ~topic and ~ptopic can be used to try to pull in a random conversation starter.

Should trying to change the topic fail, one quiet is usually enough to change the subject quickly.

== Shadow Quiet ==

/msg TripBot ~quiet [time(<integer><units>)] <#room> <user> <reason> #warn

/mode <channel> +z

While not used very often, this method has worked against repeat trolls who use free-VPN to get around a kline. After applying the quiet on a user, mode +z allows the messages from the user to still enter the channel, but are only visible by people with the +o flag. In effect, the user still thinks they're talking, but are not inconveniencing anyone by doing so. Changing modes in a channel requires an Operator's approval, so this is not a tactic to jump to right away, but it's possible in the event that it's agreed to be used.

== Ban ==

/msg tripbot ~nban [time<integer><units>] <user> <reason>

'''[time] is optional, where <integer> is a number and <units> is either h or m, for hours or minutes respectively. If a time is not specified the ban will remain in place until manually removed by an operator or a sysop.'''

'''<reason> should be a summary of the accumulated offenses. It should not, however, include direct links to any pads, as the reason is stated in any channel the user is kicked from. Please post pad links in #tripsit.me when requesting ban authorization.'''

'''Example: ~nban 3h toasterlizard Excessive shenanigans filling channels with spam.'''

This command can be used to remove users that have been causing repeated issues, and are unresponsive to quiets and warnings. Before a ban is issued, it should be discussed in #tripsit.me and should receive the approval of at least one other moderator, operator or sysop. (If another staff member is unavailable, certain cases do not require approval. Examples include: blatant sourcing, spamming/flooding, or extreme cases of trolling).

This command prevents a user from joining any offical TripSit Channel (channel tripbot is opped in). It will also kick the user from any channel the ban is applied in. Note that the user will still be able to access the network, PM people, and join non-TripSit channels. These abilities can be removed by requesting a kline from an operator.

== Notify ==

/msg TripBot ~notify <channel> <event>

Moderators can use the ~notify command to keep records of events on the network. This is used when something happens that doesn't fit elsewhere, and you feel it would be good information to recall later. You can notify different levels of staff by choosing the channel you send the notify to. For example, notifying #moderators will notify all Moderators and above, while notifying #teamtripsit will include TripSitters and above.

= Rule Breaking Procedure =

=== As a staff member/user ===

1. ~report the user

=== As a TripSitter ===

1. Verbal warning to please chill out or leave the room.

:* In the event of serious trolls, this may be skipped.

2. ~quiet [time] <#channel> <username> <reason> to quiet problematic users in #tripsit.

3. ~report <user> and discuss the problem with other staff in #teamtripsit.

4. Join #tripsit.me, say ~teamtripsit, and give detailed information to the staff.

=== As a Moderator ===

When you receive a ~report about a user, or witness the activity yourself:

1. Check the rules matrix for a general idea of how certain situations should be dealt with https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AfBh2--ymg6fbyUnb3Lv191cfjyD9ogqMSEhOgmd5og/edit#gid=0 (please note this may be slightly out of date, ask if you are unsure)

2. Verbal warning to please chill out.

:* If user is doing a serious infraction, this may be skipped, and you may immediately:

3. ~quiet the user for a specified time limit.

:* For minor infractions 10 minutes is a pretty good number.

4. Talk to the user.

:* '''This may be the most important step. A user needs to know what they did wrong and should hear it from a human rather than a robot.'''

5. ~warn the user (if necessary) providing information about the encounter.

:* Warning will be sent via PM on most occasions as to avoid drama in the main channels and a note will be added to their file on Titan pad.

:* Occasionally public warnings will be issued to show to others what the rules are, but please don't "make an example" out of anyone.

6. If a ~warn is not necessary, ~notify #tripsit.me of the outcome of the interaction.

7. If the above ~quiet was not timed, remember to undo the quiet.

:* You can use ~remindme <time> <reason> to set a reminder for yourself to unquiet.

= Remember to keep logs and documentation on tripsitmods.tripsit.me when necessary. =

TripSitter Orientation

2016-04-09T19:11:16Z

Toasterlizard: Corrected mistake in the order for ~report

= Introduction =

On this page is some vital information for new TripSitters or those wanting to become TripSitters. It will overview all of the common questions about how to perform staff functions. Please review all of the following points and return here or ask another staff member if you have any questions.

= History =

The TripSit network was founded by Techno_shaman (Teknos) in reddit.com/r/tripsit on September 26th, 2011. It progressed into an IRC channel on September 2, 2012 and continues to increase it's focus around harm reduction and providing a safe community for the world's Psychonaut community. It has since grown into a website, live web radio, and social network. So far, we have helped countless people in many different ways. We have been featured by MAPS and we've had several news articles written about us. We're currently expanding our social network and working on developing a real-life presence at festivals and concerts, and you're invited to be a part in the next step in growing our network.

= Staff Duties and Guidelines =

Staff members are positive, nice, respectful and professional in their dealings with members whether regular or staff; they represent the entire network! We want people who have leadership skills and can enforce rules while still promoting a positive environment. They guide conversation to an acceptable level of quality by being firm, while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude.

We want all of our staff members to be role models and regular contributors. All staff supervise and advance a part of the TripSit network. We expect them to be able to devote a reasonable amount of time to TripSit projects, including: Wiki, a TripSit affiliated IRC channel, the Official TinyChat, Twitter, and future TripSit projects. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input!

== Tripsitting ==

Our primary goal as TripSit is to tripsit the universe.

Tripsitters are the backbone of our network. Without their selfless efforts we would not be here today. Each of us have stepped up in the #tripsit room to help people and it's a rite of passage to advance to other positions in the network. As such we have fairly high standards for our tripsitters and expect the best of them.

Never be afraid to defer a question to another member of the team by asking in #teamtripsit or even by using the '~tripsit user' command to call for help. Remember that no information is always preferable to incorrect information.

Check out our [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/How_To_Tripsit_Online tripsitting guide].

=== Redirecting Users ===

There's no telling when a serious case will come in that could seriously alter the mood of other people in the room. It can also become quite chaotic and difficult for people under the influence when there are multiple conversations going on in the room at once. For these reasons we attempt to keep #tripsit relatively clear for users who are in need of help. We do so by assessing the situation of the person in #tripsit, and then suggest they join another room on the network if necessary. Also, sometimes a user enters the channel looking for general chat. In both of these situations, you can direct them to an appropriate channel.

Some good channels to keep in mind for different cirumstances are:

* #drugs - For when the person has high-energy and wants a super-active chat. Avoid suggesting this channel if the person is easily confused or in a fragile mental state.

* #home - Generally a lot more quiet than #drugs, this room can be used as a back-up room if #tripsit is too crowded, or for smaller chats with people who want to socialize, but not in #drugs

* #sanctuary - You are encouraged to use #sanctuary as a place to send users who are on drugs but would rather have lighter, more positive, conversation than #drugs. If a user is on drugs, and needs a quieter chat or perhaps some lighter tripsitting, or if #tripsit is already busy, attempt to redirect them to #sanctuary. This room has enforced positivity knowing that people who are currently on substances will be here. Avoid sending more rambunctious or loud users here.

If a user is on a substance and being spoken to, though not in any particular 'trouble', there is no need to move them to another room as a matter of urgency unless there is another situation happening in the channel - though these cases should eventually be moved to #sanctuary. You can take your time to make sure they're okay before moving them.

General drug questions may be answered in #tripsit, there is no need to redirect these cases unless the room is busy.

=== Managing Tripsitters ===

The #tripsitters channel is our control room for discussing and managing tripsitting encounters. As a tripsitter staff member you will be expected to lead other people who are helping in providing an organised and quality tripsitting experience to our users.

This involves pulling people who are helping out in #tripsit into the channel, and using it to give tips and help to people who are helping. You can also monitor this channel to see a summary of #tripsit activity, and receive alerts for when somebody needs help or may not be receiving help (are talking to themselves in the channel).

=== Emergency Situations ===

Rarely, a user joins #tripsit who is in a state beyond help. This can arise from them simply being unresponsive or refusing to accept advice in the face of dangerous behaviour, or in the case that the user needs to seek medical attention. In such a case, it's acceptable to ~quiet the user in #tripsit, with a note of what the user needs to do. For example, in the past we have quieted users with the reason of "Call EMS immediately".

Since these cases are rare and these measures should not be applied lightly, it's generally a good idea to discuss the user in #teamtripsit and get some confirmation that we cannot help. If the user continues to cause problems on the network after being quieted in #tripsit, refer the situation to a moderator.

=== Crowding ===

If a user is already being helped in #tripsit, use your common sense to decide whether you should get involved in the situation. If a person is already receiving adequate help then it is often better to just keep an eye on the situation to ensure this continues, or advise in #teamtripsit - overcrowding a user under the influence can often be confusing.

If you are entering an on-going tripsitting session, try to either read the scrollback or read any notifications made for this user to gain the wider context before joining the fray.

== Keep the Peace ==

You will be expected to know the network policies and procedures as listed [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/TripSit_Rules here]. Regardless of their role, staff will enforce our rules, recognize misinformation, request citations when needed, and deal with trolls. Remember: No info > bad info. If a user is trolling, becoming overly aggressive, or otherwise causing a problem, staff may ~quiet (syntax below) them in #tripsit and #sanctuary, and ~report them in other channels. Non-staff are welcome to ~report them, and a staff member will come by to take care of it.

=== Record Keeping ===

If there is a noteable instance with a user, you're asked to make a ~warning about it and put logs on a pad. It can be as simple as making a new pad, naming it User: <USER> and pasting the relevant logs. For example, if a user comes in overdosing and needs to call EMS, the details of this event can be put into a pad for future reference. We ask that you use the pad system for record keeping of logs, rather than a third-party service such as pastebin.

== Populate other channels ==

Move conversations to appropriate channels, for example: '''#psychonaut''' for spiritual talk, '''#home''' for general chat, '''#psychopharm''' for chemistry discussion, '''#sanctuary''' and '''#tripsitvip''' for regulars chat.

== Be Involved ==

Try to get involved with the various other TripSit projects. Learn to DJ, contribute to the Wiki. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input! Speak to operators or admins to find out what you can work on.

= Communication and Resources =

Communication is extremely important and as such our team communicates in a number of different ways.

== IRC ==

=== Required Staff Channels ===

All staff members should be on at least these channels:

* '''#tripsit''': Our flagship channel for immediate assistance. Please idle here and if you see someone ping you with the !tripsit or ~tripsit command do your best to respond. Remember: KIP! (Keep it positive!)

* '''#tripsitters''': Our "control room" for discussing and managing experiences in #tripsit. Use this channel to discuss tripsitting cases, and to help other tripsitters.

* '''#drugs''': This channel is not your main priority but you are welcome to help guide the conversation here. This channel is by far our network's busiest channel.

* '''#teamtripsit''': This is our primary staff communication channel. Please put this on your autojoin to discuss events on the network with other staff. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions! This is a channel for all staff to discuss network issues. #tripsit issues take priority here and social chat will need to stop if a tripsitter needs assistance. You may be asked to move a social conversation to #tripsitvip if it is quiet.

=== Other Staff Rooms ===

*'''#tripsit.me''': This is the meta-TripSit channel. We discuss things that impact the network outside of IRC or when a serious issue needs to be talked about in a quieter room. Tripsitters are welcome to join to discuss a particular issue but not to idle. Other non-staff may join this room to discuss an issue with the upper-admin team, but they are not allowed to idle after their issue is resolved.

== Other ==

=== TripPads ===

Etherpad our document handling platform, hosted [http://tripsit.titanpad.com here]. We have a large amount of documents here on different subjects.

*Only staff members have access to the pads by default.

*Only make a pad password protected if you have consulted with one of the admins about the contents of the pad. Admins have access to password protected pads and will investigate locked pads if their purpose is unknown.

=== Emails ===

Staff members are entitled to an @tripsit.me email address. This email should be used for staff communication only.

=== /r/tripsit subreddit ===

Remember that a fair amount of tripsitting happens on the /r/tripsit subreddit, so try to check there frequently for anyone who needs help! If you're a heavy reddit user, you can ask Teknos to be made a moderator on the subreddit. Once this happens, you will be asked to comment and flair posts.

=== Wiki ===

This Wiki is a good source for information about the network, harm reduction information and staff information.

= Basic Tripbot Commands =

This section will cover a few basic tripbot commands you'll need. You can find more information about there [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands here] or by asking another staff member.

== Notifications ==

Notifications are a main source of communication on our network. As a tripsitter, you will start to receive #tripsit notifications from TripBot that detail the events that happen in #tripsit. Some people feel this is too noisy, so you may run '~nunsub #tripsit' to only see these notifications in #tripsitters rather than receive PMs about them every time.

You're not required to do notifications for tripsitting encounters, however if you would like to go above and beyond, you can certainly make a new notify with extra details not contained in the first notify, called an update notification. The details of how to send an update notify are so:

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~notify <#room> <message> <@assistant> <#drug> <#update>'''

* <#room> is the room that you want the command to be sent to. Everyone voiced in that room will receive the notification. You need to prefix this with #.

* <user> is the nickname of the user who was assisted and should always be the first word in the notify. Tripbot automatically attaches the host of the first word to the notify.

* <message> is whatever the new information is. Maybe someone's experience quickly spiraled downhill, or perhaps they improved!

* <@assistant> are other people in the channel who helped you out with the <user>. You need to prefix each assistant with a @ before their username.

* <#drug> is the name of the drug which was involved, you can include one or more which were involved.

** If a drug has many aliases, any are acceptable. For example, #alprazolam is just as good as #xanax.

** If the encounter involved more general questions about a particular class of drug, you can use e.g. #psychedelics.

* <#update> This signifies that the notify you're sending is not for a new person, but updating the status of someone who has already been helped.

Examples:

* ~notify #tripsit Tripsitme_8192 came back in to let us know that they got a friend to watch over them.

* ~notify #tripsit Tripsitme_8192 @toasterlizard also helped #update.

You are also encouraged to use the function to notify #teamtripsit if you wish to send announcements to other staff. Use this as much as you'd like. Notifications sent to you while offline will be stored and you'll be notified of them when you next log into IRC.

== #tripsit Entry Alerts ==

Entry Alerts will alert you when a previously unrecognised user enters #tripsit who may potentially need help.

~gettripsitentries to receive them, ~notripsitentries to stop receiving them.

== Report ==

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~report <#room> <user> <message>'''

As a Tripsitter, this command will primarily be used to get the attention of more staff to a problem user in channels besides #tripsit or #sanctuary. This will send a notice to everyone voiced in the room reported to. When you're on the receiving end of a report for #tripsit or #sanctuary, you have the ability to ~quiet users (explained below), and we ask that you send a ~notify to #teamtripsit to acknowledge that staff has followed through on the report and what the outcome was. Encourage regular users to employ use of this command, we rely on reports to know when thing's are not right.

Example: /msg tripbot ~report #drugs Teknos is being a jerk.

== Quiet ==

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~quiet [<integer><units>] <user> <reason>'''

Where <integer> is a number and <units> is either h or m, for hours or minutes respectively. This command can be given to users to give them a 'time out' in a room. This will prevent the user from talking, but only in this room. You can set the time limit to your discretion, but generally small issues don't need more than a 5-10 minute quiet to get the point across.

Example: (in either #tripsit or #sanctuary) ~quiet 5m Teknos Being a jerk.

== Default Nicknames ==

Sometimes a user will come in with a default nickname. We have a system for determining where they came from, which helps know why they're here. Further, knowing which channels they join on entry allows you to speak to them in the channel that they're are first focused on. Following the default nickname is a list of channels. The '''last''' channel in the list is the landing channel.

=== Immediate Attention Nicknames===

These nickname comes from one of our immediate assistance links. The TripsitMe nickname is used in various locations on the web, including the homepage of tripsit.me and /r/drugs.

{| class="wikitable"

! Nickname !! Channels !! Source

|-

| TripsitMe || #tripsit || Various

|-

| Sapling || #tripsit || /r/saplings

|}

=== Social Nicknames ===

The following greeted upon entry, this isn't always possible, considering the volume of people that join #tripsit. Do your best to be welcoming though!

{| class="wikitable"

! Nickname !! Channels !! Source

|-

| Social || #drugs, #home || General chat @ tripsit.me

|-

| TripGuy || #drugs, #tripsit, #home || /r/drugs

IRC User Guide

2016-04-07T18:27:52Z

Toasterlizard: /* Register a Nickname */

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. Messages are sent to a server and then relayed to individual people who connect. This is a fancy way of saying it's a bunch of chat rooms and other means of communication. Users who chat on IRC connect to chat servers usually using the format "irc.website.com". While there are ways to [http://chat.tripsit.me connect to IRC using a web-browser], the best way to connect to a chat server is with a desktop client.

TripSit has borrowed our preferred IRC client, KVIRC, and created the [http://tripsit.me/tripsitapp/ TripSit Portable Client]. This is essentially the KVIRC chat program that we configured to connect to TripSit's servers. Users who download this will only need to [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#Set_up_SASL set up SASL] and [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#Register_your_Nickname register their nickname]. If users would prefer to [http://www.kvirc.net/?id=download download KVIRC from the website], or [http://www.mirc.com/get.html use another client], they are welcome to. This guide will assume that you are setting up a server on KVIRC for the first time. The images will be screen shots of KVIRC, but the information should generally still be the same between clients.

==Setting up the Client==
After installing KVIRC, you will start by accessing the Server page. You can do this by using the menu to select Settings > Configure Servers... or by pressing CTRL+S. You will see the following window:

===Add a Network and Server===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Servers.png]]

# Add a new "Network" to the server list. Networks can have multiple servers.
# Add a new "Server" to the network you just created. Name it "irc.tripsit.me".
# Click on "Advanced..." to access the advanced settings below.

===Change your Identity===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Identity.png]]
* '''Username:''' This would be used if you had to log in to our server, which you don't, so ignore this.
* '''Password:''' This would be used if you had to log in to our server, which you don't, so ignore this.

* '''Nickname:''' This will be your public nickname that people will refer to you by.
* '''Alt.Nickname:''' This is mostly used when you happen to get disconnected from the server and re-join before your old Nickname realizes it's disconnected. To regain use of the old nickname, use the GHOST command. (/q nickserv help ghost).
* '''Real name:''' Set the username that will appear in your account profile. This is different from Nickname, which is displayed in channels.

User Modes
* '''Invisible:''' Invisible users do not show up in WHO and NAMES unless you can see them in a channel or private message.
* '''Server notices:''' This mode allows a server operator to receive server notices. For a typical user, it won't do anything. Just leave it unchecked.
* '''Wallops:''' This mode will receive WALLOPS messages sent by operators. You can just leave it unchecked.

===Change the Connection Protocol===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Connection.png]]
* '''Port:''' 6697 (Explained in 'Use SSL protocol'
* '''Connect to this server at startup:''' This will have the chat client connect to our network when you start the KVIRC client.
* '''Use SSL protocol:''' This setting, coupled with the right port, will encrypt your connection to our server.
* '''Protocol Encoding:''' This is mostly up to user preference, but UTF-8 is suggested.
* '''Text Encoding: ''' This is mostly up to user preference, but UTF-8 is suggested.

===Add Channels to your Auto-Join===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Join.Channels.png]]

This page is the long way to add channels to your autojoin, the short version is detailed below, but you will use this window to get an overview of which channels you autojoin when connecting to the network. Note that you need to click "Add" and not press Enter on your keyboard.

===Set up SASL===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Advanced.png]]

If you downloaded the TripSit Client then you can get to this part of the settings by:

# Using the menu to select Settings > Configure Servers... or by pressing CTRL+S.
# Selecting the TripSit Server (Not the network, which looks like a globe).
# Clicking on Advanced... and then going to the Advanced tab.

This page is mostly used to configure SASL, the protocol used to automatically log in to your nickname after you have registered it. Details on how to register your nickname are below, but for now set up what you want your Nickname and Password to be. Remember to use the same password when registering!

===Register a Nickname===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Help.Register.png]]

Services are robots that perform functions on the network. For example, the service you will interact with to register your nickname is named NickServ. Most services can be learned about by messaging them "help" or "help <module>" as shown above. Other services you may interact with are:
* '''tripbot''' - Our resident multi-purpose android. [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands Check here for a list of commands].
* '''thanatos''' - Enforces an auto-quiet on those who say "nigger", "faggot", and links that violate the sourcing rules. Also hugs users who seem sad.
* '''ChanServ''' - Register a channel with this service. ChanServ commands are [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#ChanServ_commands detailed below.]
* '''MemoServ''' - Send notes to people who are offline and they will receive them when they get back.
* '''LoveServ''' - Send love to your friends <3
To register your nickname, you need to open up the above query with nickserv by using the command: /q nickserv help register. Use the syntax '''"REGISTER <password> <email>"''' as shown in the screen shot to register your nickname. Other NickServ comments are [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#NickServ_commands detailed below.]

===More Tips===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC IRCBasics.png]]

You're all set up now! Some basic features of KVIRC include changing the channel color when there's activity in the channel (#drugs), and making a bigger notice when your nickname is mentioned in the channel (#home). After registering, you're welcome to join the #tripsitvip channel which is only accessible to registered users. You can add this channel and others to the auto-join list by right clicking and selecting '''''"Automatically Join Channel > When Connecting to Network 'Tripsit''''.'''

==Basic Commands==

*Changing your nickname is done with:

==Troubleshooting==

If your problem doesn't appear here, you can try joining the #help channel receive help from our staff.

===Excess Flood When Connecting===

This usually happens when your client is configured to join too many channels at once, and doesn't stagger sending those messages to the server. As a result, enough join commands are sent at once to trigger the server's in-built flood protection. There are a couple of things you can do to remedy the situation:

* Look at the documentation for your client to see if there is a way to have it slow down the join commands. If you're using ZNC or another bouncer to connect, there is usually an option you can use to do so, which you can see [http://wiki.znc.in/FAQ#..._start_bnc.21 here].
* Clear out any useless or empty channels from your join list.
* Consider switching to a different client which staggers joins. Examples include irssi, or KVIRC - for which we have a pre-packaged TripSit client available [http://tripsit.me/chat/tripsitapp/ here].

Toasterlizard: Corrected minor typos

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. Messages are sent to a server and then relayed to individual people who connect. This is a fancy way of saying it's a bunch of chat rooms and other means of communication. Users who chat on IRC connect to chat servers usually using the format "irc.website.com". While there are ways to [http://chat.tripsit.me connect to IRC using a web-browser], the best way to connect to a chat server is with a desktop client.

TripSit has borrowed our preferred IRC client, KVIRC, and created the [http://tripsit.me/tripsitapp/ TripSit Portable Client]. This is essentially the KVIRC chat program that we configured to connect to TripSit's servers. Users who download this will only need to [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#Set_up_SASL set up SASL] and [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#Register_your_Nickname register their nickname]. If users would prefer to [http://www.kvirc.net/?id=download download KVIRC from the website], or [http://www.mirc.com/get.html use another client], they are welcome to. This guide will assume that you are setting up a server on KVIRC for the first time. The images will be screen shots of KVIRC, but the information should generally still be the same between clients.

==Setting up the Client==
After installing KVIRC, you will start by accessing the Server page. You can do this by using the menu to select Settings > Configure Servers... or by pressing CTRL+S. You will see the following window:

===Add a Network and Server===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Servers.png]]

# Add a new "Network" to the server list. Networks can have multiple servers.
# Add a new "Server" to the network you just created. Name it "irc.tripsit.me".
# Click on "Advanced..." to access the advanced settings below.

===Change your Identity===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Identity.png]]
* '''Username:''' This would be used if you had to log in to our server, which you don't, so ignore this.
* '''Password:''' This would be used if you had to log in to our server, which you don't, so ignore this.

* '''Nickname:''' This will be your public nickname that people will refer to you by.
* '''Alt.Nickname:''' This is mostly used when you happen to get disconnected from the server and re-join before your old Nickname realizes it's disconnected. To regain use of the old nickname, use the GHOST command. (/q nickserv help ghost).
* '''Real name:''' Set the username that will appear in your account profile. This is different from Nickname, which is displayed in channels.

User Modes
* '''Invisible:''' Invisible users do not show up in WHO and NAMES unless you can see them in a channel or private message.
* '''Server notices:''' This mode allows a server operator to receive server notices. For a typical user, it won't do anything. Just leave it unchecked.
* '''Wallops:''' This mode will receive WALLOPS messages sent by operators. You can just leave it unchecked.

===Change the Connection Protocol===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Connection.png]]
* '''Port:''' 6697 (Explained in 'Use SSL protocol'
* '''Connect to this server at startup:''' This will have the chat client connect to our network when you start the KVIRC client.
* '''Use SSL protocol:''' This setting, coupled with the right port, will encrypt your connection to our server.
* '''Protocol Encoding:''' This is mostly up to user preference, but UTF-8 is suggested.
* '''Text Encoding: ''' This is mostly up to user preference, but UTF-8 is suggested.

===Add Channels to your Auto-Join===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Join.Channels.png]]

This page is the long way to add channels to your autojoin, the short version is detailed below, but you will use this window to get an overview of which channels you autojoin when connecting to the network. Note that you need to click "Add" and not press Enter on your keyboard.

===Set up SASL===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Advanced.png]]

If you downloaded the TripSit Client then you can get to this part of the settings by:

# Using the menu to select Settings > Configure Servers... or by pressing CTRL+S.
# Selecting the TripSit Server (Not the network, which looks like a globe).
# Clicking on Advanced... and then going to the Advanced tab.

This page is mostly used to configure SASL, the protocol used to automatically log in to your nickname after you have registered it. Details on how to register your nickname are below, but for now set up what you want your Nickname and Password to be. Remember to use the same password when registering!

===Register a Nickname===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Help.Register.png]]

Services are robots that perform functions on the network. For example, the service you will interact with to register your nickname is named NickServ. Most services can be learned about by messaging them "help" or "help <module>" as shown above. Other services you may interact with are:
* '''tripbot''' - Our resident multi-purpose android. [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands Check here for a list of commands].
* '''thanatos''' - Enforces an auto-quiet on those who say "nigger", "faggot", and known links that violate the rules about not sourcing. Hugs users who seem sad.
* '''ChanServ''' - Register a channel with this service. ChanServ commands are [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#ChanServ_commands detailed below.]
* '''MemoServ''' - Send notes to people who are offline and they will receive them when they get back.
* '''LoveServ''' - Send love to your friends <3
To register your nickname, you need to open up the above query with nickserv by using the command: /q nickserv help register. Use the syntax '''"REGISTER <password> <email>"''' as shown in the screen shot to register your nickname. Other NickServ comments are [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#NickServ_commands detailed below.]

===More Tips===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC IRCBasics.png]]

You're all set up now! Some basic features of KVIRC include changing the channel color when there's activity in the channel (#drugs), and making a bigger notice when your nickname is mentioned in the channel (#home). After registering, you're welcome to join the #tripsitvip channel which is only accessible to registered users.

==Troubleshooting==

If your problem doesn't appear here, you can try joining the #help channel receive help from our staff.

===Excess Flood When Connecting===

This usually happens when your client is configured to join too many channels at once, and doesn't stagger sending those messages to the server. As a result, enough join commands are sent at once to trigger the server's in-built flood protection. There are a couple of things you can do to remedy the situation:

* Look at the documentation for your client to see if there is a way to have it slow down the join commands. If you're using ZNC or another bouncer to connect, there is usually an option you can use to do so, which you can see [http://wiki.znc.in/FAQ#..._start_bnc.21 here].
* Clear out any useless or empty channels from your join list.
* Consider switching to a different client which staggers joins. Examples include irssi, or KVIRC - for which we have a pre-packaged TripSit client available [http://tripsit.me/chat/tripsitapp/ here].

Toasterlizard:

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. Messages are sent to a server and then relayed to individual people who connect. This is a fancy way of saying it's a bunch of chat rooms and other means of communication. Users who chat on IRC connect to chat servers usually using the format "irc.website.com". While there are ways to [http://chat.tripsit.me connect to IRC using a web-browser], the best way to connect to a chat server is with a desktop client.

TripSit has borrowed our preferred IRC client, KVIRC, and created the [http://tripsit.me/tripsitapp/ TripSit Portable Client]. This is essentially the KVIRC chat program that we configured to connect to TripSit's servers. Users who download this will only need to [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#Set_up_SASL set up SASL] and [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#Register_your_Nickname register their nickname]. If users would prefer to [http://www.kvirc.net/?id=download download KVIRC from the website], or [http://www.mirc.com/get.html use another client], they are welcome to. This guide will assume that you are setting up a server on KVIRC for the first time. The images will be screen shots of KVIRC, but the information should generally still be the same between clients.

==Setting up the Client==
After installing KVIRC, you will start by accessing the Server page. You can do this by using the menu to select Settings > Configure Servers... or by pressing CTRL+S. You will see the following window:

===Add a Network and Server===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Servers.png]]

# Add a new "Network" to the server list. Networks can have multiple servers.
# Add a new "Server" to the network you just created. Name it "irc.tripsit.me".
# Click on "Advanced..." to access the advanced settings below.

===Change your Identity===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Identity.png]]
* '''Username:''' This would be used if you had to log in to our server, which you don't, so ignore this.
* '''Password:''' This would be used if you had to log in to our server, which you don't, so ignore this.

* '''Nickname:''' This will be your public nickname that people will refer to you by.
* '''Alt.Nickname:''' This is mostly used when you happen to get disconnected from the server and re-join before your old Nickname realizes it's disconnected. To regain use of the old nickname, use the GHOST command. (/q nickserv help ghost).
* '''Real name:''' Set the username that will appear in your account profile. This is different from Nickname, which is displayed in channels.

User Modes
* '''Invisible:''' Invisible users do not show up in WHO and NAMES unless you can see them in a channel or private message.
* '''Server notices:''' This mode allows an opererator to receive server notices. For a typical user, it won't do anything. Just leave it unchecked
* '''Wallops:''' This mode will receive WALLOPS messages sent by operators. You can just leave it unchecked.

===Change the Connection Protocol===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Connection.png]]
* '''Port:''' 6697 (Explained in 'Use SSL protocol'
* '''Connect to this server at startup:''' This will have the chat client connect to our network when you start the KVIRC client.
* '''Use SSL protocol:''' This setting, coupled with the right port, will encrypt your connection to our server.
* '''Protocol Encoding:''' This is mostly up to user preference, but UTF-8 is suggested.
* '''Text Encoding: ''' This is mostly up to user preference, but UTF-8 is suggested.

===Add Channels to your Auto-Join===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Join.Channels.png]]

This page is the long way to add channels to your autojoin, the short version is detailed below, but you will use this window to get an overview of which channels you autojoin when connecting to the network. Note that you need to click "Add" and not press Enter on your keyboard.

===Set up SASL===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Advanced.png]]

If you downloaded the TripSit Client then you can get to this part of the settings by:

# Using the menu to select Settings > Configure Servers... or by pressing CTRL+S.
# Selecting the TripSit Server (Not the network, which looks like a globe).
# Clicking on Advanced... and then going to the Advanced tab.

This page is mostly used to configure SASL, the protocol used to automatically log in to your nickname after you have registered it. Details on how to register your nickname are below, but for now set up what you want your Nickname and Password to be. Remember to use the same password when registering!

===Register a Nickname===
[[Image:TripSit KVIRC Help.Register.png]]

Services are robots that perform functions on the network. For example, the service you will interact with to register your nickname is named NickServ. Most services can be learned about by messaging them "help" or "help <module>" as shown above. Other services you may interact with are:
* '''TripBot''' - Our resident multi-purpose android. [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands Check here for a list of commands].
* '''Thanatos''' - Enforces an auto-quiet on those who say "nigger" or "faggot". Hugs users who seem sad.

* '''MemoServ''' - Send notes to people who are offline and they will receive them when they get back.
* '''LoveServ''' - Send love to your friends <3
To register your nickname, you need to open up the above query with nickserv by using the command: /q nickserv help register. Use the syntax '''"REGISTER <password> <email>"''' as shown in the screen shot to register your nickname. Other NickServ comments are [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/New_IRC_User_Guide#NickServ_commands detailed below.]

==Troubleshooting==

If your problem doesn't appear here, you can try joining the #help channel receive help from our staff.

===Excess Flood When Connecting===

This usually happens when your client is configured to join too many channels at once, and doesn't stagger sending those messages to the server. As a result, enough join commands are sent at once to trigger the server's in-built flood protection. There are a couple of things you can do to remedy the situation:

* Look at the documentation for your client to see if there is a way to have it slow down the join commands. If you're using ZNC or another bouncer to connect, there is usually an option you can use to do so, which you can see [http://wiki.znc.in/FAQ#..._start_bnc.21 here].
* Clear out any useless or empty channels from your join list.
* Consider switching to a different client which staggers joins. Examples include irssi, or KVIRC - for which we have a pre-packaged TripSit client available [http://tripsit.me/chat/tripsitapp/ here].
