When you participate in r/psychedelics, you must comply with the site-wide reddit rules.

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL GET THE SUBREDDIT SHUT DOWN.

This means sourcing is NOT ALLOWED on this subreddit, in dms, or anywhere else on reddit. This has been a recurring problem that did not go away when the subreddit shut down, as people still try to sell or buy substances here every day.

Reddit's policy can be found here

- Do not offer any substance, or ask for any substance.

- Do not ask for sources for any substance, and do not give out sources.

- When asking a question about a product, cover any website names, store names, or links.

- Do not mention vendor names, including using initials, clues, hints, etc.

- Do not post about your orders, shipping, or anything else related to acquiring drugs.

- Do not DM users in this subreddit with the intention to source or sell either. Intentions to DM users will be interpreted as an intention to sell.

If you post your own products, don't give us reason to suspect you are selling. No logos, no clear references to your stores, no requests to contact you via dm, so on and so forth. This is not to say that your products are not legitimate, but it would be impossible to verify the legitimacy of individual "businesses," so as the rules already suggest, the only way for us to go is to prevent all sourcing.

If somebody offers to supply controlled substances to you through Reddit then be wary, as this is a very common scam. Try not to fall for vague marketing posts that advertise these products. A legitimate vendor would most likely not need to advertise through Reddit so take it as a red flag. Report any users that dm you offering substances

You may post a picture of a substance if you have a question about its legitimacy, but the brand must be covered, as well as any links, QR codes, stores, etc.

Example of an appropriate post:

Checking if his mush are fresh--all good!

There are some substances that are impossible or difficult to identify at a glance, such as LSD or MDMA. These should be avoided for ID posts, and you should instead order a test kit.

Some people like to show off their stashes, and while this isn’t encouraged, you’re still allowed to as long as you do not encourage sourcing.

Example of an appropriate post:

Showing off his poketabs -- Nice!

DO NOT dm the OP of a stash post with the intention to source. You will get scammed.

A Cautionary Tale (that I stole from r/microdosing)

"Recently we were informed by one of our users that they had been scammed out of hundreds of dollars by another user purporting to be a vendor. This "vendor" had set up a fake company website to take payment for a product they would then never receive."

One of the main principles of our community is the principle of harm reduction.

This means employing and promoting practices that encourage safety when interacting with illicit substances.

You are expected to help us keep this subreddit a safe and beneficial community for everyone. Examples of Harm Reduction practices might include:

• Educating oneself on the effects and legality of the substance being consumed
• Measuring accurate dosages and taking other precautions to reduce the risk of overdose
• Taking the time to chemically test all substances being consumed to determine purity and strength
• Not driving, operating heavy machinery, or otherwise being directly or indirectly responsible for the safety or care of another person while intoxicated
• Having a trip sitter when taking a substance with which one is not familiar
• Not attempting to trick or persuade anyone to use a substance they are not willing to use
• Not allowing substance use to overshadow other aspects of one's life or responsibilities
• Being morally conscious of the source of one's substances
• Being empathetic and kind towards those who got scammed for being naive and offering advice to prevent it from happening again
• Not spreading false medical or scientific information regarding substances or the health of yourself or other users. In particular, medical advice, telling people they do not need to seek help of a professional, contradicting the evaluation of such a professional, and the generalization of personal experiences to others are strictly forbidden.

Harm Reduction practices are difficult to enforce, so the best we can do is prevent people from giving false medical information. The rest is up to the community. If you want this community to thrive, you will help abide by these practices.
