45/50. I'm disappointed, should have done better than that. Probably got the drug testing and injection questions wrong.
 
42%. Drug(subculure)-specific quizzes would perhaps be more informative. Also, a quick and readable summary of the errors would increase education.
 
I'm working on them now. Sorry, but I got a little behind schedule. I promise to have them on your desk by 5 o'clock.
 
i dont see the point in comparing peoples scores Atlas. Why should someone feel they have been *upstaged* by someone else who might have cheated. I took less than 5minutes to complete the test, which leaves 15min to be looking on erowid for answers. Im sure there was plently of dickheads who actually saw a point to cheating on such a test and comparing scores only encourages such behaviour.
 
well I got 34/50. 68%

I don't think I want to know as much about drugs anymore as what would be required to get a higher score on that test :\

Yeah, the correct answer was nothing ;)

Theres also no such thing as a standard dried shroom dosage.

As it depends alot on the type of shroom, this is very regional.

What the fucks a standard size pill?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I gotta agree, I've heard people call pills "double stack" and they've been exactly the fucken same size as supposed "normal" sizes. Should drug slang such as this have been included?

Also must agree with Jase. I got it right, but upon thinking, there are far too many varieties with varied levels of strength to say it's a dose for all shrooms.

{edit} and playskool, I'm pretty sure that if you knew the correct answers according to harm reduction principles, the question wording wouldn't have made a difference. The other three selections are all DANGEROUS choices.
 
Thanks for the feedback. Although I didn't write all the questions, I will gladly take responsibility for the ones that are too vague :)
 
Oh, there isn't a responsibility to be had... errors like these can be good, as they can start to eliminate misinformation that's believed by people. :)

Keep up the good work guys!
 
DOUBLE STACK the answer definatley should have been none of these!!

If it were to actually refer to something it would mean that they were barrell shaped pills (extra tall), but also dealers "refer" to double stack pills as being twice as strong. Clearly the term is ambiguous and makes for a bad question.
 
6 Which of the following is NOT a tryptamine?

2-CB
Psylocibin
DMT

I may be wrong but I believe LSD isnt a tryptamine.

The question was fine. All tests and exams have a few problems, if it was perfect we would have nothing to discuss ;)
