[edit] Edit on Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants

The article is called Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants, formerly known as Hallucinogens. The introductary paragraph is about that group of drugs (hallucinogens, not specifically psychedelics) as a whole, mentions the three subgroups (psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants), and then the article describes each subgroup in more detail, with links to entire articles on each specific subgroup... psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants. Sorry if I sounded like a sarcastic ass ;) --Thoric 01:50, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for correcting me then.--Neur0X ^.talk 05:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] edibility of muscaria

Hi, I think it is inappropriate to call A muscaria inedible, rather than poisonous, there is after all, a whole section of the article on its toxicology. A woody polypore is inedible, but a mushroom that causes vomiting and sweats is pretty much poisonous. Provided you agree, I'll change the categorization back. Debivort 02:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I was a little skeptical about changing it at first but it only really causes such symptoms in moderate doses, whereas small doses only produce nausea and the like, and those effects are even moreso eliminated if it is prepared correctly and cooked. But, if you think I am in err, be my guest and change it i have no objections. Sorry for the trouble caused. --Neur0X ^.talk 04:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

No trouble at all, but it just seems any mushroom that causes nausea in any dose should be considered poisonous, not deadly necessarily, but poisonous. Debivort 05:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing Jacob's Ladder (film)

I'm sorry, but they do say, in the end of the movie, that 'The Ladder' was in fact BZ, and BZ is in fact 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate, so, im reverting some of your edits. Quoted from the movie:

It was reported that the hallucinogenic
BZ was used in experiments on
soldiers during the Vietnam war.
The Pentagon denied the story.

Oh. and if the drug was entirely fictional they wouldn't have mentioned that in the end of the movie. --Neur0X ^.talk 23:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

But the quote you give does not state explicitly that 'The Ladder' (fictional) was in fact BZ (real). The 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate article also notes that "the film does not discuss BZ specifically".

It's arguable, I suppose, that the makers are implying that 'The Ladder' = BZ. In which case, they're either ignorant of the effects of BZ or are deliberately misrepresenting them. However, I see no strong reason to assume such a literal interpretation. It seems much more reasonable to assume that the mention of BZ at the end of the film is to show that the idea of experimental drugs being tested on Vietnam soldiers was not entirely fictional, even if the specific drug in the film was.

Besides, the fact they don't mention BZ by name anywhere else suggests to me that the ladder is not specifically BZ. It's the actual testing of experimental drugs on soldiers that crosses the fact-fiction boundary, not the specific drug.

Unless you can find better evidence for 'The Ladder'=BZ, then I think 'inaccurate' is the wrong word for the Jacob's Ladder article. garik 00:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link removal

I appreciate your referencing your action[1] removing the link to the news page as well as to Alcohol and Drugs History Society. I do believe you may have come to an erroneous conclusion though about the nature of this site and the organization. I will not ponder the issue further though. __meco 09:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
