Definitely. That would be preachy, which is exactly what psychedelics encourage me not to do. I have my beliefs, other people have theirs, and I'm not here to persuade anyone. Glad we are on the same page.

I'm so excited about this E-Zine, I think its gonna be really cool!

Agreed. This is a reallllly shitty time for me this week, to do any extended kind of stuff, but starting friday afternoon I have a 3 day weekend with no responsibilities.

I was thinking a good first step would be to make up a template. So it will look basically like what the E-Zine will look like, but it will have descriptions of future articles and submission rules in place of where the articles would normally be. Does that make sense?

Also it would give us a place to start changing it from. It's kind of hard with so many different variables to make sure everyone is thinking the same thing. This way you'd have a base from which to change it.

We definitely need a template, it will make publishing future ones a breeze, pretty much just drag and drop. I'm pretty worthless with design stuff, so I don't think I'll be of much use for making the template. Is anyone here really good at that and willing to take the reigns? Or maybe a couple people could make a template and we could have a vote? Or one person could have many? Just spitballin here.

We also need to find a couple people to take of charge of the whole operation, and sooner rather than later. They would be the main editors and in charge of keeping people on schedule and finding content to put in the magazine. They would have the power to reject any articles that don't fit within the scope of the E-Zine, but hopefully they wouldn't have to use it.

Also, before we publish the first one, maybe we should as an admin if we can get it stickied? Or maybe get a request for articles stickied?

Oh, I just thought of something. Sorry if it was brought up before. I think it would be cool to have something very similar to LearyFan's posts about "This day in psychedelics history" For us it could be a whole week or 10 days or something.

We could even ask him and see if he would be willing to write it for us.

i actually think bold as loves idea of a trip report would be great. it would show a little bias, but it would be a trip report so it would be a personal account anyways. i just think it's good for people to get the idea of what kind of stuff happens before, during, after a trip.  as long as the overall message is unbiased.

sweet, like all of these ideas :thumbup:

I think anybody who wants to do a a layout idea should try and throw something together so we can have a bunch of ideas to choose from, I'll work on one within the next couple days here and throw it up for peer review.  :takingnotes:

Hey, I'm new to shroomery, joined to see if I could help you guys out with this.

I believe I have a considerable amount of information to contribute to the community, especially in a medium such as an e-zine.

Are there any roles currently that need to be filled, or are you even looking for more people still? Is there something that needs to be written or should I come up with the topic on my own and have someone review the final product?

I notice this has topic hasn't had a post in 52 days. Do you use another website or medium for communication, or has this project dispersed in the wind?

I think this thread lost its steam. Mostly because some of us (I can only really speak for myself) are personally conflicted on alot of the issues surrounding psychedelics. Like whether they should be legal or if they are habit forming etc etc

Maybe then we should take the approach of not discussing legality and rather presenting info on why the drug wars bad and unbiased info on the drugs themselves. Maybe discuss possible legal solutions but ultimately leave the choice up to readers to decide what they think should be done

I'd be happy to help out with this. I have a fair bit of experience with drug law reform in New Zealand, if a perspective from the Antipodes was wanted. I also keep up with the latest research in psychology journals, which I could summarise into a discussion piece.

It appears that enthusiasm for this idea is running out, but it is a good idea. I'd suggest using InDesign to make the magazine, but I don't want to steal anyone's thunder.
