Maybe DOB and DOI? And you have jimson weed, but what abut other members of the nightshade family?
You might be interested in using my book as a reference, it sounds like we have a similar scope. Magic Medicine
Psychedelics have been very instrumental in the creation of human consciousness; that's the point that this troll doesn't want you to know. It's hard to come up with one singular source, but here's a relevant book: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Medicine-Intoxicating-Modern-Day-Psychedelic/dp/1592337724/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525380567&sr=8-1&keywords=indigenous+use+of+psychedelic+drugs
Yeah I tried to do something along those lines with the booklet, which contains just the chapter devoted to safety protocol, and then includes space for people to write their own experiences guided by a set of questions I made to optimize the process of extracting useful information from the experience. I guess I could make one that has all of the safety information from every chapter, but aside from that it would be difficult. This is actually a lot shorter than the book I originally intended to write, which would cover dissociatives like ketamine and salvia in addition to psychedelics. Once I finished writing the draft of the first chapter I realized it would end up being like 800 pages long and decided against it.
The most similar book to mine is this one:
It is a lot shorter, but it reads like a series of articles more than a cohesive book. To me it feels more like a conversation starter than a serious exploration of the subject.
Most books on the subject run in the 250-350 page range from what I've seen, although there are some outliers that are incredibly popular like PIHKAL and TIHKAL that run 600-900 pages (although these were written by THE psychedelic chemist).
I'm not sure of how I would convey this to customers, but the book is a combination of something to read and a reference manual. The beginning of each chapter explores the history and future of the compound it is about, then it covers reference-type material such as the compound's unique safety considerations and methods by which it is used, then ends with the reports.
I suppose my target audience is people similar to myself when I first started learning about psychedelics - people with an interest or background in science who would prefer not to sift through the massive amount of misinformation and spirituality-focused content on the internet as they begin learning about them. I included a lot of background info to make it more accessible to those less scientifically inclined, but I can see how someone might not like it. It's supposed to be comprehensive introduction to the study of psychedelics, which is why I covered so much ground with it.
I'm a student of neuroscience, but I'm fast-tracking to masters before getting my phd in psychology (so I'm not limited to research) and I won't technically graduate until I finish my plan. I have knowledge in the subject, just no credentials to flash. I did a read-through of the first chapter after I finished it about a year ago to give people a taste of what is inside, but the stream quality wasn't great. Do you think I should re-record it and link to it on the home page so potential customers can see the book's quality and writing style? I know degrees matter to people, but if you can demonstrate knowledge on the subject they seem to care much less. For example, Hamilton Morris and Paul Stamets -two of the biggest leaders of modern psychedelic research and advocacy- have bachelor's degrees but are regularly invited to speak on the subject. Morris' journey to the top is a bit different from what I'd have to do considering his father is an Academy Award winning documentarian, but Stamets had a background in logging.
I've also been getting a lot of comments saying the website doesn't provide enough information on the book, so I drafted up a new homepage last night/this morning that provides more information: https://sites.google.com/view/newsitetesttbop/home
The design is optimized for mobile because 85% of people viewing it are doing so on their phones. I had a really nice version for desktop made, but it looked horrific on mobile. I'd love to just make an HTML/JS website so I can implement animations and keep the page size down, but web hosting is expensive lol. Speaking of page size, the images haven't been converted to webm yet so the load time might be a bit longer than the final site.
Yeah the snail speeds are really irritating lol. I think the report is sufficiently different to avoid getting nailed for plagiarism. The book focuses on the effect of set and setting on the psychedelic experience and the write-up focuses on assessing the correlation between effects and risk-taking behavior.
