Visualization of drug groups and drug use as reported by users of another forum

Hi all,

maybe you would find this article interesting: http://virostatiq.com/visualizing-drug-talk-on-bluelight-ru/

I analyzed all posts in all forums on Bluelight from 2010 on, extracted mentions of drugs and their effects from raw text, and constructed a few diagrams that nicely show drug groups according to forum dynamics. One also shows what to expect when taking specific drugs, according to forum members. It's essentially a cheat sheet for a serious drug user.

I hope you like it!

 

Damn a lot of people like mdma!

 

Thats a lot of a great job you have done out there. Kudos to you.

Are you planning to continue doing this? Maybe some automated forum scanner would be usefull. Let me know if you need any programming help. Or any help at all.

 

nice
