Hey guys! So this post is something that I think a lot of fanfiction/RPers/general fan content creators could use: drug information. Now, I’m not telling people to use drugs. Nor am I telling people not to use drugs. This post isn’t about the ethics, morals, legality, or health of using drugs or not using drugs. I’m not giving dosages in g, mg, or micrograms, or anything like that—if you are going to use, look this stuff up and do so responsibly, but don’t come here. This post is purely about how to represent drugs in fanworks, from someone who knows what the fuck they’re talking about.
Anyway, I’m going to do this by breaking down some common and not-so-commonly described substances into four categories:
Also if anyone’s like me and a stickler for accuracy about things like prices there’s Havocscope which keeps track of black market prices. It’s used for statistics and a general analysis of black market activity, and has data points from all over the world.
It’s free to use, and the public can access it, great for if you’re trying to write something and feel the need to be accurate with how much a character would have to spend for something illegal when you’re writing. Also it’s not a market site, just a data collection thing that is used for all sorts of legitimate reasons, so you don’t have to worry about suddenly getting links to buy things that you really don’t want to buy.
