Our editorial approach
We assemble and summarize public documents, registry entries, and peer-reviewed literature; we prioritise primary sources such as legislation and official regulator guidance when drawing distinctions between scheduling, medical approvals, and therapeutic claims. For example, we consult statutory texts and regulatory guidance in addition to scholarly reviews, a practice recommended by institutions that emphasise evidence synthesis such as university libraries and public health agencies (Library of Congress research guidance).
Our content is structured for fast scanning: compact briefs, short explanatory snapshots, and deeper methodological notes where needed. Where relevant we link out to treatment-provider directories and experiential resources for context; for example, readers sometimes consult resources about treatment availability such as ibogaine treatment for depression directory when comparing regulatory claims to on-the-ground options.
How we vet information
Editorial checks include cross-referencing official registries (national or EU-level regulators), verifying quoted legislation, and triangulating with peer-reviewed summaries. We use recognized tertiary sources to confirm historical or legal background when needed, for instance authoritative encyclopedic entries like Wikipedia's scheduling overview for context on international scheduling frameworks.
When we reference clinical practice or treatment pathways we explicitly note the limits of published data and link to authoritative health guidance such as government summaries or university publications (NIH) rather than relying solely on third-party promotional material.
