- For
- Readers exploring the history of psychoactive substances
- Worth noticing
- The homepage lists 580+ mapped locations and 14 trade routes, but gives conflicting totals for catalogued compounds.
Field notes
The homepage presents several distinct ways to explore the topic: a map, timeline, compound reference, guided course, quiz, leaderboard, and glossary. Its course outline runs from “Before Civilization” through “Modern Nations,” while the quiz is described as having 210 questions across six difficulty tiers. The page lists outside references including Britannica and NIH, but the extracted evidence does not show how individual claims are sourced; its compound totals also differ between sections.
