The Drug User Bible is an extensive, detailed guide focused on promoting safe drug use. Authored by Dominic Milton Trott, the book aims to educate users on how to safely use drugs. While some may find the concept controversial, the reality is that people will continue to use drugs regardless. The current approach, which often involves anti-drug rhetoric, results in a lack of crucial knowledge and perpetuates what Trott describes as “unremitting propaganda.” Ultimately, the mission of this project is clear: Reduce the harm caused by drug use and, save lives doing so.
More About the Drug User Bible
First launched around two years ago, the Drug User Biblehas since become a reputable and well-respected project, recognized by trusted directories such as Daunt. Dominic Milton Trott, the author, describes the project as "dedicated to the victims of the war on drugs." Trott also highlights the challenges in accessing accurate information, with governments often blocking or censoring it. This is precisely the issue the Drug User Bible seeks to address. The reality is that, if someone is going to use drugs regardless, it’s crucial to know how to do so responsibly to minimize harm. What sets this project apart from resources like the Psychonaut Wiki is that the author personally tries every substance listed and documents his experiences.
Extensive Documentation
Similarly to the Psychonaut Wiki, the Drug User Bible covers a massive range of recreational drugs, organized into comprehensive lists. Each drug page is highly detailed, including images of the substance and a table with information such as recommended dosages, dosages taken by the author, onset time, duration, ingestion method, and even the source. The pages provide thorough descriptions of each substance, including its background, followed by expectations before use.
Trott then documents the experience with timestamps, detailing how the drug is consumed, the exact effects, and numerous other observations. Each drug is also given a personal rating based on the experience. This approach is extremely unique and, some would argue, far more effective than simply researching online. It provides firsthand documentation, allowing readers to understand what the experience is really like.
On top of covering drugs, there are many other sections, like Q&A, offering a broader perspective on the experience of creating such a project. It provides answers to common questions about drug experiences, personal preferences, and other insights that give readers a deeper look into the author’s mindset and overall journey. There are also numerous other engaging sections covering topics such as activities while on drugs and even things like drug tourism.
How to Access
The Drug User Bible can be accessed directly through its clearnet domain. Users can browse the entire documentation online, or, if they prefer, download the full wiki in PDF format. The PDF is available through a direct link on the site. For those who want to support the project directly, a physical copy of the book can also be purchased on Amazon in all regions where the company operates. We will also add a link to the guide in our footer section.
Insights from Trott
When we asked Trott what inspired him to create the Drug Bible, he shared the following:
"The idea of recording harm reduction information first occurred when I came across a YouTube video about ayahuasca. It was enticing, and I really wanted to travel to Peru to try it. However, I didn't want to do so as a psychedelic virgin (or almost a psychedelic virgin) so I started to research on various drug forums. It was there that I first discovered that people were literally dying from ignorance; from a lack of accurate information."
"I thus began to record my own experiences and collate data, with the idea of passing this on to others, initially via a spreadsheet. It soon became obvious though that this would be so complicated that it would be unworkable. Hence the idea of a book emerged."
We also asked about the expertise, research, and support that went into creating the project, Trott responded with:
"It was all personal research and community support. I used what information was already out there scattered around the Internet, I got hold of every book I could find, I examined countless papers, I scoured forums, I searched high and low. It took years of course… about 15."
"Another factor which had an impact on time was also the taking of the drugs themselves. I had to make sure that for each experience I was totally clean from the last. This basically meant 2-3 weeks between drug sessions. Bearing in mind that I covered 182 different drugs, most more than once, and a few quite a number of times, you can see how this became a every lengthy journey."
Conclusion
The Drug User Bible is a truly unique project, unlike anything else out there. Its goal is highly noble: to reduce the harm caused by drugs through education. Unlike other resources, such as the Psychonaut Wiki, the Drug User Bible documents the author’s direct experiences, providing a far more realistic perspective. This approach allows users to truly understand what using each substance is like, rather than relying solely on scientific documentation. We recommend that anyone willing to support this project purchase a physical copy of the book.
