Why we built it, what it covers, and what it will never become.
We are publishing The Plug Guide today as an independent reference for people who use psychoactive substances, the people who care about them, and the harm-reduction services that already do this work in their cities.
What the site does
Three things, in order of importance:
- Substance profiles, dose ranges by route, durations, interactions, reagent test colours, legal status, sources. Every claim is cited; every page is reviewed before publication.
- Interactive tools. A dosage calculator that respects body weight, a pairwise interaction checker, and a colour-by-colour reagent guide. All client-side; nothing about what you check is sent anywhere.
- Vendor and scam intelligence — independent, conflict-of-interest-disclosed reviews of vendors that already operate publicly, plus published scam patterns and methodology so readers can recognise them on their own.
What the site does not do
The Plug Guide is not a shop, not a directory of illegal sellers, and not a vector for paid placements without disclosure. We do not sell substances, link to checkout flows, or rank vendors by who pays us. When a listing is sponsored, it will say so on the page. When a vendor has paid for a reviewer's time, that will say so on the page. When we receive a sample for analysis, that will say so on the page.
Why now
The information landscape for people who use drugs is currently dominated by three things: official messaging that often defaults to abstinence, social-media threads of variable quality, and forum culture that assumes prior knowledge a beginner does not have. Each has its uses; none of them is a coherent, neutral, well-sourced reference that someone can read on their phone in fifteen minutes and walk away materially safer.
We are trying to be that reference, in five languages, for the next decade.
How to read us
- Treat every dose range as typical of literature, not as personalised advice. Your dose is yours; lower than typical is almost always the right starting point.
- Treat every "no interaction reported" as the absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
- Treat every reagent reaction as a first filter, not a guarantee of identity or purity. Send samples for proper analysis where possible.
- Treat every legal table as a snapshot. Law changes; we revisit each substance at least once a year, and individual circumstances within a country can change overnight.
If you are a service provider, journalist, researcher, vendor with something to disclose, or anyone with a correction: write to us via the contact page. Corrections are dated and visible at the bottom of each affected page.
