*** Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section; I figured it was a little too long to be uploaded as a post to a pre-existing thread and I didn't want to clog up space by posting it twice in both the MDMA and Psychedelic forums. If this needs to be moved to a different section of the site, I'd appreciate being told why so I can avoid making a similar mistake in the future. ***
Hi all,
Reiterating the title, this is an open call for subjective entries (details in the following paragraph ) on the experintial effects of MDMA and ketamine. Your contributions will form one of the bases of research on the phenomenological nature of these drugs. As this is currently a personal project in its embryonic stage (i.e. there is no institutional affiliation/funding) I can only offer my gratitude in exchange for your words. However, if whatever comes out of this reaches publication, it’s only fair that every contributor is sent an e-copy of the text. When this will be, I can't say.
Anyway, what this entails for potential contributors* is to write a detailed brief (in as many or few words as you deem necessary) on the overall- rather than a specific experience- experiential effects of MDMA and Ketamine. Essentially the contributor should be writing from an analytical standpoint couched in their own experience where they try to find a common ground (if they consider it possible) for their experience with that drug. Deployment of this or that theory are welcome, though if done the contributor should make this transparent by acknowledging these guiding structures and knowledge biases.
*The onus for this doesn't entirely rest on anonymous contributions; I have also asked certain friends/contacts with backgrounds and academic interests in philosophy, psychology and neuroscience for theirs. However, it is worth mentioning I am keen to have more 'general' accounts as theoretical conceptions can sometimes become unwittingly dogmatic – especially in disciplines that seem to struggle with reflexivity.
