PsychonautWiki describes itself as "the open encyclopedia of psychonautics," and its main page organizes the subject into a few clear areas: practices, tools, oneironautics (dream work), and indexes covering experiences, substances, and related media. According to the wiki, psychonautics involves deliberately exploring subjective experience — through methods like breathing techniques, fasting, meditation, sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, and tulpa practice — and using tools such as the Shulgin Rating Scale, psychedelic art, and "vibes" to frame or record what happens.

Practices listed by PsychonautWiki

The wiki's "Psychonautics" section names these practices directly:

• Breathing techniques
• Fasting
• Meditation
• Sensory deprivation
• Sleep deprivation
• Tulpa (a practice involving an intentionally created, perceived companion or entity)

These are presented as methods a person can use to alter or investigate their own mental state, rather than as substance-specific techniques.

Tools the wiki groups under psychonautics

Alongside practices, PsychonautWiki lists tools for structuring or interpreting the experience:

Oneironautics and dream-related topics

PsychonautWiki treats dream work as its own area, under "Oneironautics." The listed topics include:

• Dreams
• Dream characters
• Dream signs
• Intuitive awareness
• Lucid dreaming
• Reality checks
• Sleep paralysis
• Yoga Nidra

This suggests that, in the wiki's framing, psychonautics extends into sleep and dream states, not just waking practice.

Indexes and further material

The main page also links to broader indexes — Experience, Psychoactive substance, Psychonaut media, Replication, Ritual, Subjective effect, Tripsitting, and Tutorial — plus featured articles on subjective effects (for example, visual and cognitive effects) and drug articles. It also includes a responsible-use note stating that naloxone is now recommended to be carried by anyone using street drugs or nearby.

If you want the full definitions and the wiki's own wording, the source is the PsychonautWiki main page itself; the categories above reflect how that page organizes the topic.

PsychonautWiki organizes subjective effects into a three-part taxonomy: visual effects, cognitive effects, and miscellaneous effects. Each entry is a named, individually defined phenomenon (for example "geometry," "drifting," or "focus intensification") rather than a general impression, which lets readers match what they are experiencing to a specific term. The categories below reflect the effect listings shown on the site's main page; use them as a map of the vocabulary, not as a claim about any substance's safety or legality.

Visual effects

Visual effects cover changes in how sight and perceived space are processed. The main page lists examples such as:

• Perspective hallucination – altered perception of spatial depth or scale
• Geometry – structured, often repeating patterns perceived in the visual field
• Drifting – the apparent movement or warping of stationary objects
• Double vision
• Pattern recognition suppression
• Visual acuity suppression
• Color tinting
• Environmental orbism
• Tracers

These sit under a broader "Visual effects - Psychedelics" grouping, so the wiki treats them as a family of related phenomena rather than isolated one-offs.

Cognitive effects

Cognitive effects describe changes in thinking, mood, and mental state. Listed examples include:

• Motivation enhancement
• Focus intensification
• Conceptual thinking
• Novelty enhancement
• Depression reduction
• Perception of predeterminism
• Dream suppression
• Immersion intensification
• Amplification and suppression cycles
• Delirium

Grouping them together lets a reader distinguish, say, a change in attention (focus intensification) from a change in mood (depression reduction) or in belief (perception of predeterminism).

Miscellaneous effects

Effects that don't fit neatly into the visual or cognitive buckets are collected separately. Examples on the main page:

• Temperature regulation suppression
• Cough suppression
• Cognitive euphoria
• Gustatory hallucination
• Catharsis
• Panic attack
• Visual haze

Note that some entries, such as immersion intensification and conceptual thinking, appear in more than one listing on the page — the categories overlap rather than being mutually exclusive.

How the categories work together

The practical value of this structure is searchability: if you can name the effect, you can find its dedicated page and compare descriptions. The wiki also pairs the effect index with related indexes such as Experience, Subjective effect, Tripsitting, and Tutorial, and with practice and tool pages (breathing techniques, meditation, the Shulgin Rating Scale, and others).

What to keep in mind

• The effect names are descriptive labels, not diagnoses or endorsements. A listed effect does not mean a substance is safe, legal, or suitable for any particular person.
• The main page also carries a harm-reduction note stating that naloxone is now recommended to be carried by anyone using street drugs or nearby — a reminder that the wiki frames itself around responsible drug use.
• For anything involving health, legal status, or dosing decisions, treat the wiki as a vocabulary reference and consult qualified professionals.

PsychonautWiki's main page surfaces responsible-use material in three main forms: a direct harm-reduction recommendation (carrying naloxone when using street drugs or being nearby), links to substance lists that help users identify what they are dealing with, and a set of practice and safety pages including tripsitting. The site presents itself as "the open encyclopedia of psychonautics" and organizes this content alongside its larger indexes of experiences, subjective effects, and psychoactive substances. If you want harm-reduction guidance specifically, the most concrete items are the naloxone recommendation and the substance lists; the deeper safety material lives in linked pages rather than on the main page itself.

The naloxone recommendation

The clearest harm-reduction statement on the page is this: "Naloxone is now recommended to be carried by anyone using street drugs or nearby."

What this means in practice:

• The recommendation is framed around street drugs, not pharmaceutical or prescribed use.
• It applies both to people using and to people who are "nearby" — that is, potential bystanders or tripsitters.
• Naloxone is an opioid overdose reversal medication; the page states the recommendation but does not, in the excerpt provided, give dosing, administration steps, or where to obtain it.

If you are acting as a tripsitter or using substances of unknown composition, this is the one item on the page that translates directly into a concrete action: have naloxone accessible.

Substance lists for identification and risk awareness

PsychonautWiki links several lists that support informed decision-making by helping users understand what a substance is and how it is classified:

These lists are reference tools, not safety guarantees. A substance appearing on a "legal" list does not mean it is low-risk, and the page does not make that claim — it simply categorizes. The practical value is in identification: knowing which category a substance falls into helps you anticipate effects and risks.

Tripsitting and practice pages

The site's index includes Tripsitting as a dedicated topic, alongside Tutorial and Ritual. Tripsitting is the practice of supervising someone during a psychoactive experience — the harm-reduction role that pairs directly with the naloxone recommendation for bystanders.

Related practice pages listed on the main page include:

• Breathing techniques
• Fasting
• Meditation
• Sensory deprivation
• Sleep deprivation
• Tulpa

These are framed as psychonautics practices — methods for exploring consciousness — rather than as drug safety protocols. They are relevant to responsible use in the sense that they describe non-drug approaches and preparatory or grounding techniques, but the main page does not present them as overdose prevention or emergency response.

Tools that support safer exploration

Two tools on the page are relevant to managing an experience:

• Shulgin Rating Scale — a standardized way to describe the intensity of a psychedelic experience, useful for communication and record-keeping.
• Vibes (Good vibes, Trippy vibes, Bad vibes) — a framework for describing the emotional tone of an experience, which can help a tripsitter recognize when someone is struggling.

What the page does not provide

To set expectations accurately, the main page excerpt does not include:

• Dosage guidelines or dose calculators
• Emergency contact numbers or poison-control information
• Legal status by country
• Instructions for administering naloxone
• A stated pricing model or login requirement for any of the linked content

The page also lists Tor and I2P mirror addresses, which indicates the site offers alternative access routes, but no access restrictions are described in the material provided.

How to use this practically

If your goal is responsible use, the page points you toward a sequence:

1. Identify the substance using the relevant list (entheogen, hallucinogen, club substance, legal substance).
2. Prepare a tripsitter — see the Tripsitting page — especially if you are using anything of uncertain composition.
3. Carry naloxone if street drugs are involved, per the page's explicit recommendation.
4. Use the Shulgin Rating Scale and Vibes vocabulary to communicate intensity and emotional state during and after an experience.

The main page is an entry point; the substantive safety detail sits in the linked pages, so treat these items as starting points rather than complete protocols.

PsychonautWiki is an open, community-edited encyclopedia of psychonautics — the practice of exploring subjective experience and states of consciousness. It is aimed at people who want structured, reference-style information on psychoactive substances, the subjective effects they produce, and related practices such as meditation, breathing techniques, and sensory deprivation. The site is written in English (en-GB) and is also reachable through Tor and I2P mirrors for users who want network-level privacy.

What the site covers

The main page organises content into several broad areas:

• Psychoactive substances — drug articles, including entheogens, hallucinogens, and lists of non-hallucinogenic substances used in rituals, common legal psychoactive substances, and psychoactive club substances.
• Subjective effects — a large index of documented effects, split into categories such as visual, cognitive, and miscellaneous.
• Psychonautics practices — breathing techniques, fasting, meditation, sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, and tulpa.
• Tools — meditation frequency, psychedelic art, the Shulgin Rating Scale, and "vibes" (good vibes, trippy vibes, bad vibes).
• Experience reports — first-person accounts of specific substances and doses.
• Oneironautics — dream-related topics including lucid dreaming, dream signs, reality checks, sleep paralysis, and Yoga Nidra.

Subjective effects: how the index is structured

Rather than describing a substance only by name or class, PsychonautWiki catalogues the effects a user may experience. Examples from the main page include:

This structure lets you look up a single effect and see how it is defined, independent of any one substance.

Experience reports

The site hosts individual trip reports, listed by substance and dose — for example "3 Grams of Mushrooms," "Caffeine (~125 mg) + Nicotine (4.5 mg)," "100mg 4-AcO-DMT (insufflated)," and "150mg DPT." These are personal accounts rather than clinical data, so treat them as anecdotal observations, not as dosing guidance.

Harm reduction content

PsychonautWiki includes responsible-use material alongside its substance articles. One example visible on the main page: naloxone is now recommended to be carried by anyone using street drugs or by people nearby. This harm-reduction framing runs through the drug-related sections.

Access and privacy

The site is available on the clearnet at psychonautwiki.org, and the main page lists two alternative addresses:

• Tor: vvedndyt433kopnhv6vejxnut54y5752vpxshjaqmj7ftwiu6quiv2ad.onion
• I2P: psy.i2p

These mirrors are useful if you want to read the content without exposing your IP address to the clearnet site.

Who it is for

PsychonautWiki suits readers who want a reference framework for subjective experience — for example, someone trying to name or understand an effect they experienced, or someone researching a substance's reported effects before deciding anything. It is not a prescribing guide, and its experience reports are user-submitted. Use it as an encyclopedic starting point, and cross-check anything safety-related against qualified sources.

Experience reports on PsychonautWiki are collected in the Random experiences section on the main page. Each entry links to a first-person account that typically includes the substance, dose, route, and a narrative of subjective effects. The section is a rotating sample rather than a complete index, so the specific reports shown change over time.

What the reports look like

The main page lists reports as short titles that combine dose, substance, and a summary phrase. Examples visible on the page include:

• 3 Grams of Mushrooms - Reset on my Life, Experiencing Satori and the Cosmic Perspective
• Caffeine (~125 mg) + Nicotine (4.5 mg) - Essential performance boost
• 270 MG seeds ipomoea tricolor v. heavenly blue (LSA) - My favourite one so far
• MEAI (Various Dosages) - Alcohol Replacement
• 100mg 4-AcO-DMT (insufflated) - Went deep in a dark house
• 30mg Isopropylphenidate - IPPH As A Study Aid
• 150mg DPT - A Walk Into The Depths of Insanity
• 22mg N-Ethylhexedrone (Hexen) - A (Somewhat) Functional Stimulant at Low Doses
• 40x Extract - Bastard Wizard and his miserable little witch

These titles show the pattern: dose and substance first, then a personal takeaway. The full reports sit behind each link.

What each report usually contains

Based on the titles and the site's structure, a typical report covers:

• Substance and dose — often with the route of administration, e.g. insufflated, or a range such as "various dosages."
• Setting and context — where the experience happened and what the person was doing.
• Subjective effects — the felt experience, which on PsychonautWiki is often described using its own catalogue of effect names (visual, cognitive, miscellaneous).
• A summary or lesson — the phrase after the dash, such as "reset on my life" or "as a study aid."

How to use them

Experience reports are personal accounts, not dosing guidelines or safety data. Use them to understand the range of reported effects and the vocabulary people use to describe them. For structured information, cross-reference the site's separate indexes:

• Psychoactive substance articles for general substance information
• Subjective effect pages for definitions of the effects named in reports
• Responsible drug use material, which on the main page notes that naloxone is now recommended to be carried by anyone using street drugs or nearby

Where to start

Go to the PsychonautWiki main page and look for the Random experiences heading. Because the list rotates, refresh or revisit to see different reports. If you want a specific substance, use the site's search rather than relying on the random sample.
