This was always the plan. My book, all 638 pages of The Drug Users Bible, is now FREE to download as a PDF. To get your copy… please read this: =>
1. WHAT IS IT? In a nutshell, it’s a harm reduction reference tome. From Amazon: “Over a 12 year period the author of this book self-administered over 180 psychoactive substances; both chemicals and plants. For each he recorded the life-sensitive safety data, including the anticipated onset times, the common threshold doses, the routes of administration, and the expected duration of the experience. In addition, for every compound he also produced a trip report, detailing the qualitative experience itself. This delivered another invaluable insight, enabling, for example, an objective assessment of the extent of any loss of judgement and self-control.”
2. WHY IS IT NOW FREE? It was written to make a difference: to get critical harm reduction and safety data into the hands of as many people as possible, whatever their drug of choice.
The starting point was that I’m old and I like to read my books on paper. Hence, I wrote it for paper and always visualised it as the real physical book it became. That’s how it has always been sold, and still is. I know it has already helped a significant number.
HOWEVER, on paper it does cost $$$. I can’t change that, but what I can do, finally, is provide it for free as a PDF. So if you are happy with a non-paper version, and not too frustrated with this sort of navigation, you can now download it without charge.
You can have it on your phone, your PC, your laptop, or anywhere else you want it.
3. HOW YOU CAN HELP OTHERS It really is vital that we make harm reduction information ubiquitous within our community. It really is ignorance that kills so many of us. We really really must do our best as a community to make safety practices second nature, and get the essential data to everyone who needs it.
You can help with this project. Please do help.
If you are able, please download it and re-upload it to wherever is appropriate: to anywhere from which anyone who uses drugs may see it, and be able to download it themselves for free. Or alternatively just share the download link.
Ignorance kills, but I hope that some of you will help to save some of those lives. The portability of a PDF may help to at least put the idea of harm reduction on the agenda where it was previously overlooked.

5. FINALLY Thank you for any support you can give to this project. Together, let’s try to make a difference. If you have any questions, at all, please don’t hesitate to ask.
damn! what a work. i’m not a drug user, my wife uses recreationally, but i’m still very keen to give this a read. thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! I’m gonna read at least some of it on the coming days
This is an excellent resource! I can’t put into words how much I appreciate the work that has gone into this. I will share it as far as I can. I thank you for sharing it on Lemmy too. I’m hoping Lemmy can be a safe new space for drug discussion.
Thank you. Sharing is caring and it makes a massive difference. :-)
This looks like a very valuable resource, thank you for offering it for free.
Greatly appreciated, thank you!
Thanks man. You’re doing God’s work. I was expecting some shitty inaccurate pdf but this is well put together. Thank you for doing what you do. All hope is not lost in this world.
I remember when you first put this out, I believe it was on r*ddit? Either way I’m super grateful for this amazing piece of work. Thank you.
Isn’t that the exact post that also was on Dread?
Almost. I have also set up a sub on there (as I have here). Further, kudos to the mod of this sub for placing a download link in the sidebar.
Ah didn’t notice. Nice. Thanks for your work.
