WikiProject Psychoactive and Recreational Drugs (formerly WikiProject Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants) is a WikiProject set up to improve Wikipedia's coverage of psychoactive drugs.
Welcome
editWelcome to WikiProject Psychoactive and Recreational Drugs! Interested in contributing to the project? Come say hello on the talk page. New to Wikipedia or to drug related articles and don't know where to start? Try wetting your toes on a smaller drug article like Alpha-PVP or on a cultural/organization related article like psychedelia or Erowid.
For drug articles we follow the WikiProject Pharmacology manual of style at WP:PHARMMOS. Since drugs have health effects we also need WikiProject Medicine acceptable sources for health and body related claims. Take a look at WP:MEDRS to learn more. Google Scholar and Google Books can be good sources for this information.
Scope
editOriginally conceived as a descendant project of WikiProject Drugs (now WikiProject Pharmacology), this project deals with psychoactive and recreational drugs in a wider scope than the drugs project, creating systems of categorization that solve some of the problems encountered by the drugs project when dealing with these drugs (due to its narrower scope). This project deals not only with chemical substances and plants, but also people, organizations and concepts related to psychoactive drugs.
Goal
editThe primary goal of WikiProject Psychoactive and Recreational Drugs is to give Wikipedians an accurate and easy-to-read explanation of the chemical, sociological, anthropological, psychological, botanical, medical, and religious aspects of all psychoactive drugs. To do this, the project will:
- Systematically categorize all psychoactive drug articles
- Improve existing articles and create new articles where needed
- Create new message boxes, infoboxes, and templates to organize all psychoactive drugs
- Including accurate pictures and illustrations of all psychoactive drugs to help provide a thorough explanation of the substance in question
