Throughout history many cultures have used mind-bending drugs in religious ceremonies and other rituals (some still do). Sometimes, just the shaman (witchdoctor) took the drugs to make contact with the ancestors and spirit world, often to find answers to practical problems like where to hunt or to mark one of the main milestones of an individual�s progress through life - birth, adulthood, marriage and death. These rituals placed controls on the use of mind-bending drugs � not just the frequency and amount of use, but how to interpret the effects or messages from spirits.

As Alice discovered in Wonderland, once you have taken a mind-bending drug, the world - including yourself - may never seem the same again. Before you ever take one (or before you take one again) you should ask your brain some questions:
Why the devil do I want to bend my mind? What am I going to bend it with? What does a bent mind feel like? What problems can mind-bending drugs lead to? What can be done to reduce harmful consequences?

Using up-to-date information from the various �ologies� and sciences � Tripology aims to provide some of the answers to these questions.

Guidelines:

Aims: To provide honest, accurate information on the use of mind-bending drugs. Clear warnings of dangers and tips on safer use and reducing harm are included.
