Dienstag | 17.15 Uhr | Self-Medicating with Research Chemicals: An Anthropological Exploration of an Online Drug Forum Dr. Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth (South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg Research chemicals are psychoactive drugs which have not been approved for human consumption. Mostly formulated in analogy to well-known recreational drugs in order to bypass drug regulations, they circulate online in grey and black markets. Because of their novelty, there is little if any scientific research about them. What is known about the effects, dosage, and possible risks of research chemicals is based mainly on information produced by the users themselves, who exchange information about their recreational, therapeutic, and cognitive enhancement use in online drug forums.
