摘要

由于互联网日益成为市场和信息来源，致幻性新精神活性物质迅速兴起。本研究通过对在线论坛进行内容分析，从电子心理学家的角度探讨致幻性新精神活性物质的概况、作用和毒性。定性内容分析适用于从在线论坛中提取的主题。对每个主题都进行了仔细编码，并将相似的编码分别归类为子主题和主题。结果显示了四个主题，分别涉及使用者特征、致幻新精神活性物质概况、作用和毒性。本研究中的大多数使用者为 18-25 岁的男性。寻求的主要效果是刺激/致幻效果；但神经和心血管毒性也经常被报道。研究发现，在线讨论论坛提供了丰富的信息来源，因为它们为电子精神病患者提供了一个安全的空间，让他们可以真实地报告自己的经历，而不必担心法律后果。

Effects and Toxicity of Hallucinogenic New Psychoactive Substances From the Perspectives of e-Psychonauts

Hallucinogenic new psychoactive substances have been rapidly emerging due to the increasing use of the Internet as a marketplace and source of information. This study explores hallucinogenic new psychoactive substances’ profile, effects and toxicity from the perspectives of e-psychonauts by conducting content analysis of online discussion forums. Qualitative content analysis was applied to threads extracted from online discussion forums. Each thread was coded carefully, and similar codes were grouped into sub-themes and themes respectively. The results showed four main themes related to users’ characteristics, hallucinogenic new psychoactive substances profile, effects and toxicity. The majority of users in this study were men in the age range of 18–25 years old. The main effects sought were stimulant/hallucinogenic effects; yet neurological and cardiovascular toxicity were frequently reported. The research found that online discussion forums offered a rich source of information as they provided a safe space for truthful experience reports without fear of legal consequence for e-psychonauts.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Drug Issues (JDI) was incorporated as a nonprofit entity in the State of Florida in 1971. In 1996, JDI was transferred to the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and the Richard L. Rachin Endowment was established to support its continued publication. Since its inception, JDI has been dedicated to providing a professional and scholarly forum centered on the national and international problems associated with drugs, especially illicit drugs. It is a refereed publication with international contributors and subscribers. As a leader in its field, JDI is an instrument widely used by research scholars, public policy analysts, and those involved in the day-to-day struggle against the problem of drug abuse.
