DURING the study. The only "person" who knows is the computer, which might assign a participant to be given pill A or pill B, or to be shown stimulus I or stimulus II. The coding of which participant is in which study might then be encrypted, so no one can know who is who without unlocking the results.<br /><br />Only AFTER the study might the researches be able to unlock the groups, and so learn which participant was in which study.<br /><br />... or, occasionally, as others have suggested, a third-party might know the groups.

I know of various ratings for experiences (Shulgin's scale, etc.), but not for substances.<br /><br />Randall has clearly never taking acid. He should stick to writing about stuff he knows.<br /><br />I started college as a huge nerd (probably would've liked xkcd had it existed then). I spent the first few weekends of college hanging out with other nerds who'd play Magic, watch bad sci-fi on TV, and have polyamorous relationships with a whole bunch of unattractive people (I wasn't getting laid though). <br /><br />Then I realized that spending my weekends getting really drunk, smoking lots of pot and taking something stronger from time to time was more fun and lead to more interesting social interactions (still wasn't getting laid though). <br /><br />The nerds would complain about being outcasts, but it seemed self-imposed. Everybody at my small liberal arts school was at at least somewhat nerdy, and an outcast in high school. Most of the students figured out partying was better for their social lives than a Dr. Who marathon (although I can see the temptation of polyamorous sex with unattractive people). Randall seems to belong to the group that never got the partying thing down and settled for Dr. Who and sweet ugly nerd love.Sepianoreply@blogger.com
