Bold is what we agreed to last time (which I can totally assent to). Nevertheless, [lease look these alternatives over and reconsider merging the sentences. Lemme know what you think :)


  1. Phencyclidine (also known as X, Y, and Z) is a synthetic substance of the arylcyclyohexylamine chemical class that is known to produce dissociating and stimulating effects when administered."
  2. Phencyclidine (also known as X, Y, and Z) is a synthetic psychoactive class:dissociative substance of the arylcyclyohexylamine chemical class. In addition to its principal role as a dissociative, it can also produce prominent stimulating effects when administered."
  3. Phencyclidine (also known as X, Y, and Z) is a synthetic psychoactive class:dissociative of the arylcyclyohexylamine chemical class. In addition to producing the effects typical of a dissociative anesthetic, it can also produce prominent stimulating effects when administered
  4. Psilocin (also known as X, Y, and Z) is a synthetic dissociative of the tryptamine chemical class that produces psychedelic effects when administered."
  5. Lysergic acid diethylamide (also known as LSD, LSD-25, Lucy, and Acid) is a semi-synthetic psychoactive class:psychedelic of the chemical class:lysergamide chemical class that produces psychedelic effects when administered.
  6. Lysergic acid diethylamide (also known as LSD, LSD-25, Lucy, and Acid) is a semi-synthetic hallucinogenic substance of the chemical class:lysergamide chemical class that produces psychedelic effects when administered.
  7. Lysergic acid diethylamide (also known as LSD, LSD-25, Lucy, and Acid) is a semi-synthetic hallucinogen of the chemical class:lysergamide chemical class that produces psychedelic effects when administered.
  8. Lysergic acid diethylamide (also known as LSD, LSD-25, Lucy, and Acid) is a (prevalent/major/popular?) semi-synthetic hallucinogen of the chemical class:lysergamide chemical class. It produces psychedelic effects when administered.
  9. Lysergic acid diethylamide (also known as LSD, LSD-25, Lucy, and Acid) is a semi-synthetic psychedelic of the lysergamide chemical class that produces archetypal psychedelic effects when administered, which is typically dosed orally or sublingually. (change "It produces" to "It is known to produce?")
  10. Lysergic acid diethylamide (also known as LSD, LSD-25, Lucy, and Acid) is a semi-synthetic psychedelic of the lysergamide chemical class. It produces archetypal psychedelic effects when administered. (change "It produces" to "It is known to produce?")
  11. N-Ethylhexedrone (commonly known as Hexen or NEH) is a novel synthetic stimulant belonging to the substituted cathinone chemical class. It produces classical stimulant effects that is believed to be caused by its activity as an NDRI (norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor), although this has yet to be scientifically validated.
  12. N-Ethylhexedrone (commonly known as Hexen or NEH) is a novel synthetic stimulant belonging to the substituted cathinone chemical class that produces classical stimulant effects that is believed to be caused by its activity as an NDRI (norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor), although this has yet to be scientifically validated.
  13. 3-Methoxyphencyclidine (commonly known as 3-MeO-PCP or 3-MeO) is a novel synthetic dissociative of the arylcyclohexylamine chemical class. Like its closely related analogs PCP, PCE and 3-MeO-PCE it is known to produce potent dissociative and stimulant effects.
  14. 3-Methoxyphencyclidine (commonly known as 3-MeO-PCP or 3-MeO) is a novel synthetic dissociative of the arylcyclohexylamine chemical class that produces potent dissociating and stimulating effects.

XXX ([also vs. commonly] known as YYY or ZZZ) is a [naturally occurring vs. synthetic vs. semisynthetic] hallucinogenic (include this last part generally?) [insert psychoactive class] of the [insert chemical class] (of what though? should we specify further? if not generally relevant, any exceptions? What about family?). Like its [closely vs. ??? vs. blank] related analogs XYZ, ABC and FUQ it is [descriptor of popularity, like widely, or blank?] [known] for [its vs. producing vs. ability to produce] potent (necessary?) anesthetic, hallucinogenic and stimulant effects. (Basic description and what it is known to do, or used for)

The compound was first synthesized in 1979 to investigate the structure-activity relationship of DZT derivatives. The activity of XXX in humans was not described until 1999 when a chemist using the pseudonym John Q. Beagle wrote that XXX was qualitatively similar to XX with comparable potency.[5] (History tidbit here, should these be standard if available?)

Like other substances of its class, particularly DAF and XCA, it primarily [induces vs. produces] a state referred to as "dissociative anesthesia", albeit the extent to which this occurs is highly dose-dependent and variable in effect.[citation needed] (Description of distinguishing properties compared to other substances?) Its most common routes of administration include oral, sublingual or nasal administration, although plugging, vaporization and IM/IV injection are also [possible albeit rare vs. have been observed, albeit rarely] and is associated with vastly increased harm potential. (Do we need to include available RoAs, just the common ones? Criteria? If we say it can be IVed do we discourage it directly or do as I did there)\\] [ ' '


[In modern times vs. Today?], [XXX vs. it?] is rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a gray area research chemical through the use of online vendors, where it is commonly used as a recreational substance and, more [rarely and controversially]] (WC?), as an entheogen. (I like this as the standard closer, I think. Contains info on where it is obtained/used and what it is used for. Now how to word the last bit? All our substances are used recreationally, I think this only matters in this case? I guess there are cases of potentiators and such)
