Add to PsychonautWiki Journal
The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track Tetrazepam there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:
Tetrazepam Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com) Oral dose (mg): light 25-50 · common 50-100 · strong 100-200 · heavy 200+ Oral duration: onset 15-35m · peak 6-10h · after-effects 1-12h 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 ~ 75 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.
