I also made a small edit to the "level 5" part of the psychedelic experience, im pretty new my self to the Wikipedian community. How ever I am not new to the study of and extreme experience with pychedelics. You could call me a Psychonaut if you will. Please let me know if anyting I edit isn't up to wikipedia's standards considering my lack of knowledge in the wikipedian ways.
[edit] MADE A FEW EDITS
Im a wiki beginner, so plz let me know what else is needed.
[edit] Tags
It was requested that I elaborate on the tags I placed on the page, and so I shall do so.
The language of the article is questionable at best. I wouldn't say it violates NPOV precisely, but it seems to be written from the perspective of one who has experienced such an...experience.
Much of the article seems anecdotal, and is written with an almost reverent tone. Could I describe to you the exact tone with which this article should be written? Certainly not. Something as abstract as a psychedelic experience may not be describable in an encyclopedic tone. However, it seemed worth bringing up if only to provoke discussion of the matter.
As for the other tag, it relates further to the anecdotal nature of the article. While much of what appears in the article may be accurate, it speaks solely in a subjective manner about such experiences. Perhaps the article could be expanded to include survey data, medical research, and the like. Objective facts about psychedelia that could be used to provide a broader picture, and make the article accessible to a broader audience. As I see this is part of a group project, I will leave it to your due consideration. Juansmith 05:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citations coming
I have a few books which contain plenty of references and citations that can be used to bolster up this article, and remove the original research worry. BTW, much of what is on this page cames from Erowid, which is a respected resource in itself. --Thoric 21:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
