Aside from their more practical value, I've often thought that the Erowid experience vaults would make a great jumping off point for a short story collection or novel. There are so many memorable stories and voices buried in there (many quite sad, of course, but others that resemble a 21st century, anonymous version of gonzo journalism, like the witches doing intravaginal DMT or the hardy soul who combined crack and MDMA at Disney World).
- joshschreuder 11y agoAny chance you can link to some memorable stories? There's such a huge collection that having a curated list might be interesting to read.
- Adlai 11y agoFirst, the one mentioned in the parent: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=26033 And a couple skimmed off the all-time best[1]: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=31722 (Nitrous Oxide) https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=17787 (Mushrooms) https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=104336 (Ibogaine) https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=96838 (Methoxetamine) https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=68367 (Sensory Deprivation) Obligatory honorary mention: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=68111 [1] - It occurred to me that I selected predominantly positive, or at least 'wonderous', reports. Dig around and you'll find some that are less so.
- joshschreuder 11y agoAwesome, thanks for taking the time, I'll have a read.
