Add to PsychonautWiki Journal
The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track PV-8 there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:
PV-8 Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com) Oral dose (mg): light 10-20 ยท common 20-40 ยท strong 40-60 ยท heavy 60+ Oral duration: onset 15-45m ยท peak 3-6h ยท after-effects 6-12h Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.
Tip: for quicker logging you can also add a Custom Unit in the app, e.g. common dose ~ 30 mg (Oral).
The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
