I would like to encourage people out there to search and find a public domain/copyleft/expired copyright version of a graphic which appears in textbooks and other books about where drugs place on the CNS stimulation-depression continuum, with the best version I have seen listing solvents, anaesthetics, antihistamines, strychnine and other illustrative drugs along with the usual suspects and breaking down C-Jam, narcotics, alcohol, caffeine, sedative-hypnotics, and tranquillisers into low, medium, and high doses and putting them on a bar chart with the neutral area near zero in the middle. I do not have anything here which I could scan and post without copyright violations, Terms of Use, and so on, the charts I have are not the best exemplars of the illustration, and so on.
I think this type of chart is very insightful for all levels of drug users and those who chronicle them. My search for this was started by trying to find the old ones, newer ones with more detail and include a number of other drug types like anticholinergics, DXM, and psychedelics, and maybe the basis for a new chart exploring other angles of the action of drugs in a XY or XYZ Cartesian co-ordinate system, with organic damage potential and addictiveness two possible axes to be used for this.
