We are looking for submissions of well-written experience reports about the use of psychoactive plants and chemicals as well as other forms of mind-altering activities such as yoga, meditation, and the use of mind machines.
NOTE: Not all reports that are submitted are selected for publication. Each report goes through a thorough review process that takes into consideration writing quality, interest, and usefulness of data. Although we are slowly catching up, we still have a significant backlog of reports. Some reports are read and published within days, but in many cases, it can take a year or more for a submission to be reviewed. Please be patient.
Submissions should describe more than just a list of activities engaged in. We are looking for descriptions of mindset, physical and mental effects, intentions, insights, problems, aftereffects, etc. A report is more likely to be published if it includes the following type of information:
Description of mindset & setting
Details of any preparations made for the experience
Dosage & timing information
Notes on prescription or over-the-counter medications, herbs or supplements that were being taken at the time of the experience.
Something more than a description of how fucked up you were or what cool patterns you saw.
For more about how reports are reviewed for publication, what makes a good report, and how experience reports can be useful, see:
Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Some of the activities described are dangerous and/or illegal and none are recommended by Erowid.
