I'd classify all substances to 8 categories: stimulant, narcotic, hypnotic/deliriant, euphoric, trip-inducing*, dissociative, depressant, hallucinogenic.
* Trip-inducing: I made up this category, because I needed a category for substances that produce alternate states of mind, what we call a "trip".
"Hallucinogenic" refers here to sensory distortions/enhancements, although I hate the term, but couldn't think of a better synonym. If you know a better term you're welcome to change it. (how about "sensory distortive"?)
Each substance can belong to one or several categories, at different rates:
for example, let's say MDMA would be: (on "shulgin" scale 0 - +4)
Stimulant +1
Hallucinogenic +0.5
Euphoric +3
Then every substance would also have a recreational-neutral-spiritual -value. Let's say 1 would be very recreational, easy-going, doesn't demand much, eg. 2ce. 3 would be neutral, and 5 would be very spiritual, demanding, gives a bitchslap if not handled with respect; eg. LSD, salvia d.
Also every substance would have yet another value, on the scale of friendly-benign-hostile. This again would be at scale 1-5: 1 would be a friendly "ally", eg. 2ci, 5 would be a substance that really jumps on you, like eg. salvia d.
And the last factor would be physical-psychological: 1-5, 1=very physical 5=affects mind only.
Oh and another: adverse effect/body load -value: 1=no "crash", 5=severe "hangover".
And the very last (this is, I promise) value would be addiction factor: 1=not addictive, 5=very addictive.
So, since I'm feeling so AMPed, I'll even write some examples:
Psilocin/psilocybin:
Hyp/del ½
Euphoric ½
Trip-inducing ++++
Hallucinogenic +++
Recreational-Spiritual-factor: 4 (moderately sp.)
Friendly-Hostile-factor: 1 (very friendly)
Physic-Psych-factor: 4 (mod. psy.)
Bodyload-factor: 1-- (almost nonexistant)
Addiction-factor: 1
d-Methamphetamine:
Stimulant +++½
Hallucinogenic +
Hyp/del ½ (1.5)
Euphoric ++
Rec/Sp: 1-
Friend/host.: 3 (neutral)
Phys-psy: 3 (both)
BodyL: 4 (med.high)
Addiction: 4+ (highly addictive)
Oxycodone
Narcotic ++++
Euphoric ++++
Depressant +½
Rec/Sp: 1--
Friend/host: 1
Phys-psy: 2-
BodyL: 4+
Addiction: 5
Hmm, this started out as a profile-template for psychedelics, but as my hyperactive mind wandered it seems to have expanded to all drugs.
Maybe I should post an own thread for this, and then we can start profiling everything from amphetamine to zolpidem :D
