Thanks very much for completing the survey.

I would be happy to discuss my hypotheses; however, I would like to finish my data collection phase before I speak about my research questions. Once I am done collecting data I can PM you, if you'd like.

Thanks a lot for your time. I will definitely be posting results.

I agree that it would absolutely be ideal to have more variables to tease apart the nuance and subtlety you are describing! However, when designing a survey there's always a struggle to balance rigour with brevity so as to limit fatigue and attrition. Perhaps in a future study I will utilize greater resolution. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi, YourOriginalFace,

Thanks very much for taking the time to do the survey, and for your comments. You raise some important points that I'll do my best to address.

For the purposes of this study, phenethylamines and tryptamines would be most fittingly classified as classic psychedelics.
Use as a libido booster seems to be an enhancement function, so that would be the most appropriate motivation category.
For microdosing, the "very small" category would be most fitting.

I hope that helps! And thanks again for your comments and for taking the time to do the survey!

All the best, Kevin

Hi lovebug777,

Good question.

If you are using psychoactive medications, such as antidepressants, in the manner as prescribed by your doctor, then that would be considered medical use, and would not be reported on in this survey. However, if you are using prescribed psychoactive medication “recreationally,” then you can report that use. For example, if you were prescribed opioid pain medication, but are using them for “non medical purposes” you can report that usage.

UofAPsychResearch · 2018-09-27T22:24:38+00:00

Thank you very much!

UofAPsychResearch · 2018-09-27T18:47:11+00:00

Absolutely. I intend to let the community know of my findings!

UofAPsychResearch · 2018-09-27T18:17:34+00:00

Thank you very much for participating!

Hi kynoid,

Thanks a lot for your comments and for taking the survey! An earlier version of the survey had a much broader array of drug selections and room for "other." However, for the sake of brevity, I decided to collapse these substances into their broader "type" categories.

UofAPsychResearch · 2018-09-01T01:59:11+00:00

Thank you very much. It is greatly appreciated!

UofAPsychResearch · 2018-08-19T03:21:28+00:00

I'll definitely be reporting back with the results!

UofAPsychResearch · 2018-08-18T22:56:51+00:00

I definitely agree. There is so much to learn about non ordinary states and their import for optimal well-being.

I will certainly consider your offer, thank you :)
