Psychedelic Experience Analysis Project

This project aims to scrape and analyze psychedelic experience reports from Erowid.org. Utilizing a combination of web scraping techniques and Large Language Model (LLM) analysis, we extract themes and insights from individual reports to generate a comprehensive understanding of various substances and their effects.

Acknowledgments and Credits

• Thank you to Erowid.org for maintaining a comprehensive database of experience reports.

• The Erowid.ipynb notebook used as a part of the scraping process in this project was originally found in the psychedelic-data-science repository created by Bas Nijholt. I have utilized and modified the code within this notebook to fit the specific needs of my project.

Disclaimer

This is an ongoing research project and is subjetc to change. There may be some parts that do not work at times too. I would be more formal about the branching but seeing as I just started this, I'd prefer to move faster.
