Experiences with psychoactive substances are highly subjective, yet many people have similar experiences. This tool allows you to find quotes of particular experiences filtered by topic clusters and substances.
To choose a substance, first select a class. This will filter the substance dropdown menu to only substances in that class. Next you can filter for topics specific to a substance
The 'Topic probability score' (TBS) quantifies how well the quote represents the topic. For each substance-topic combination quotes with the highest 10 TBS scores are displayed. For rare substance-topic combinations, there may be fewer or no quotes available.
The '(URL)' after each quote leads to the Erowid trip page report where the quote originates.
The topics were modelled in an embedding space using BERTopic (see details here). For a brief descriptions of each substance see here.
