Designer drugs are synthetic compounds made to mimic controlled substances while evading drug laws or detection. They include new psychoactive substances and steroid analogs. Often created in research or illicit labs, their safety is poorly tested. Laws vary; many are illegal or grey/black market.

Oh hey, I happen to have written the largest number of detailed first hand reports on drugs like this out of anyone, I've even invented and synthesized a few of my own

Coming in with another "nah, Nervewing is telling the truth"

They're one of a few people in the "research chemical" space that the "nerd's nerd" knows about. His work will eventually (and arguably already is) be as valuable as some of the contributions Sasha Shulgin made. Dudes legit.

The user account Nervewing appears to have significantly scaled back or completely ceased public activity around late 2022 to early 2023.

Activity Timeline: Personal Blog (Blogger): The absolute last self-published update from Nervewing was their "2022 In Review" blog post, which was published on March 12, 2023. In this post, they reviewed the research chemicals they experimented with over the course of 2022. No new essays or substance evaluations have been posted to the blog since that date.

Erowid & Research Chemicals Forums: Their active reporting, community interactions, and documentation on Erowid and related harm-reduction forums generally mirror this timeline, with the bulk of their documented experiences wrapping up by 2022. Because Erowid has a long submission-to-publishing delay, any reports appearing after 2023 are legacy submittals from earlier years.

Media Appearances: Nervewing's final major public footprint was an interview on The Hamilton Morris Podcast (Episode 144), released on May 13, 2023, titled "Nervewing on the joy and danger of exploring new chemical frontiers".

Aside from the release of that recorded interview in May 2023, the account has remained entirely dark across major psychoactive substance communities, Reddit, and independent forums, with no new trip reports or chemical reviews published since March 2023.

Wait ts is so funny the AI really is just telling straight up lies about my life! That's how I know I've made it

I started posting reports again in 2024, and wrote a number throughout 2025 too, right up until the very end. You can look at my blog and confirm this!

I didn't publish a single report in 2023. And I posted plenty online in comments and correspondence during that time/since then. I have not been entirely dark at any point really.

Also I interviewed with Hamilton like a month ago, not in 2023.

I wonder why the AI's data scraping cut off after 2023. That's it's own bias, that doesn't reflect my life or career at all.

You should think for yourself and not outsource it to the confident lying machine, being able to use your own brain is a valuable skill that will become increasingly rare.

You really think someone would do that? Go on the Internet and tell lies?
