The Drug Users Bible [Extended Edition]

by Dominic Milton Trott

The Drug Users Bible [Extended Edition] documents vital harm reduction and safety data for over 180 recreational drugs, inclusive of dose thresholds, onset times, duration and direct experience reports. It provides essential safety procedures, addiction and overdose information, legal briefings and a wealth of material to support drug users and their families.

DESCRIPTION
Over a 12 year period the author of this book self-administered over 180 psychoactive substances; both chemicals and plants. For each he recorded the life-sensitive safety data, including the anticipated onset times, the common threshold doses, the routes of administration, and the expected duration of the experience.

In addition, for every compound he also produced a trip report, detailing the qualitative experience itself. This delivered another invaluable insight, enabling, for example, an objective assessment of the extent of any loss of judgement and self-control.

This is a substantial body of work, embracing a wealth of direct support material, including addiction/overdose advice, relative harm tables, and legal briefings. Its contents also extend to cover aspects such as drug tourism, psychedelic exploration and drug related culture. It is crammed with detailed reference data, and even includes its own drug dictionary.

The Drug Users Bible is a unique and unprecedented volume of encyclopaedic research, embracing the full extent of the drugscape. Its objective is to provide, without fear or compromise, core and critical information to support the health, welfare and well-being of the 250 million people in the world who use drugs.

The book itself is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of photographs, taken by the author himself.

This is the final edition of this book, with about 120 more pages than the first one, which I also have a copy of. Was it worth the re-purchase? I would say so, yes, and not for the extra 20-odd drugs included. I've not done a page to page comparison, but it looks like large sections have been re-written or extended.

So yes, it remains a must-have book for anyone who uses drugs, or anyone with a close friend or family meber who uses them.

As per previous edition. A must read if you 'research' drugs.

[Kaelan Dougall · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is advertised as having information about 5-MeO-DMT, and even mentions that it was adding to the extended edition in the opening pages. However it is absent from the book. This is concerning considering that 5-MeO-DMT carries a lot of risk for a psychedelic. What is even more concerning is that it is often confused with but is distinctly unique from DMT which IS included in the book.

[Fuma · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of information about specific experiences, not so much overarching. Greta to have around, and if one is curious about the effect of a specific compound, not so much if you're looking for a concise introductory text. The inclusion of Shulgin Scale scores was greatly appreciated.

For what it's worth my top three books on psychoactive substances are The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants by Ratsch, Food of the Gods by Mckenna and The Drug Users Bible by Trott.
