After writing several long articles (basically photo-assays) on making psychedelic substances (not yet released - I keep tweaking and updating them as I learn) - I thought it might be a good idea to compile them into a single photo book.
I was writing articles and blogging since I was 16 (now I am in my 30s) - this is something I already love.
The biggest motivation for me is to share my excitement with psychedelic alchemy, extracting pure substances from plants or transforming them. The book would look very much like "The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible" which inspired me (see the picture attached).
My girlfriend is a professional photographer so we could make a beautiful creation together. I made a lot of investments to set up my mini-lab and it would be worth making pictorials while it is still white and shiny - it won't be for long considering my experimentation
So I feel an internal push to share my experiences and knowledge gained from all over the interenet in last years and not to keep it for myself, especially when seeing how little quality information is out there and how much one have to dig in order to find few gems. But is it a good idea? Shouldn't people really dig deep instead basically being spoonfed?
I believe true and accurate information by itself can never be harmful - only ignorance and misuse is. And if someone is reckless, no amount of protection will help him being wiser. Anyway, I plan the book to be for entertainment purposes and to give one ideas on how some people do this stuff - not necessarily in the easiest, most economical or quickest way.
What do you think about making thread with a draft to download, for the Nexus members, so they can review and possibly give some feedback?
Apart from detailed photography and making lots of notes, we would try to reference as many reliable sources as possible. This would mostly include scholarly articles (to back up statements about, say, harmine vs harmaline effects).
What do you think about such idea?
