You can now enjoy a few of the articles in a fairly easy-to-read format.

From that page:

Right, so roughly 9 months ago I came up with an idea for a drug magazine to cover stuff that recreational drug (ab)users would find helpful, informative, and entertaining. There are plenty of weed magazines, but not much that covers other subjects; at first I thought there were zero zines or publications like this but there are a few, including one done by Erowid. It was only a passing idea that I came up with while in rehab and posted on the forums of Chemphoria, not thinking much of it. People took to it, and so we set it up some article ideas, got some people working on it, and came up with some cool ideas, art, articles, etc.

There were many delays due to every god-awful reason in the book, but at the final stages of production (i.e.; putting it into an actual zine form using software, which no one knew how to use) it was basically abandoned due to inter-forum/IRC channel politics. I won’t bore you with the details, but I basically up and left and have all the files, information, emails, etc that’s needed to continue it. I’ve always reasoned to myself that there’s no need to protect against plagiarism since no one could ever follow through; no one could ever write a sequel to something I started.

And so we get to the point: I am in possession of several articles and various pieces of art work that could make a very awesome first issue of a zine, but I am not going to put it into zine form. At least, not yet; it’s too involved and I have too little support. However I still feel the authors deserve some credit, and needless to say certain articles are fairly relevant enough that they’re getting posted anyway (see: NoWarning’s opiate potentiation guide). I was going to try to put them into some sort of wiki format, but that was a total clusterfuck.

Failing everything else, I’m just going to post them here, and declaring that Dose is still mine. Specific authors, if they want to say, “I don’t want you to use my article” are fine to tell me to take it down; I doubt however that anyone cares about such petty internet politics.

Enjoy.

Get on it.
