Is there a comprehensive Guide/Chart/Book of basic drug facts?

I'm looking for something along the lines of a chart that has the following information:

Drug Name
Classification (CNS Stimulant, Benzo, Opiate, etc)
Oral/Sublingual/Intranasal bioavailabilities
Timelines for the effects for each ROA. (For instance Orally effects felt in 30 minutes, lasts ~5 hours. Intranasal effects felt in 5, lasts 1 hour.)

An example of what I'm looking for, that has different information:

Yes, some of the information is there.

I'm honestly thinking a very easy to use reference chart, if it doesn't exist, should be created from the wealth of knowledge already available. When I found the chart above, I immediately saved it for personal reference.

Having information available and searchable is great. Having it all in one place that's an easy to use reference sheet would be ideal, and make the usage of such information far more likely. From a harm reduction stand point, it'd be incredibly beneficial.

I'm not so much looking for comparison charts (X of Y = Z of A), but more so bioavailabilities/timelines.

If for instance someone has a pill of something they wish to consume, and they'd like to know how long it leave them impaired, as well as the difference in "power" if they chose to crush and snort instead, a chart such as the one I am mentioning would greatly assist them in making an informed decision.
 
I am e mailing a mod now because I feel blue lighters could Bennofit from this hart

I will make a chart for you if I can't find one because I know a lot about half lives and viability but also depends on some ones height weight what they have eaten what's in their system so every one metabolizes different but I will put a general chart together for you and send to you

You probably won't find one so specific. There are HUGE numbers of drugs out there. If you're looking for a general overview of recreational drugs, the table you posted is probably as in-depth as you're gonna get, otherwise you're going to have to start looking at drug classes individually (for reference, Shulging last book on phenethylamines alone is ~600 pages), wikipedia has some decent tables too.
 
2 projects I want to work on is a drug neuro-receptor map (binding affinities and such data) and a chronology/effect profile (including parameters such as half-life, duration of effect, dose dependent effects, bioavailability stratified by ROA, after-effects, hazards etc), for all the major drugs (emphasis more on the research chemicals though, in particular phenethylamines and tryptamines, possibly cathinones - data permitting, maybe some other novel chemicals plus a few more common ones), with graphs and everything (including uncertainties/error bars etc.), but these are more medium-term projects. I also wanted to create a fully comprehensive drug interaction chart, but again, won't happen for a while. All this documentation will just be a synthesis of data from technical papers, sites such as bluelight and erowid/PIHKAL/TIHKAL, but again, will take a while to do.

Hey, I may as well put my research skills learned at university to some use. Not quite sure how far I'll get though.
