Originally conceived as a descendant project of WikiProject Drugs (nowWikiProject Pharmacology), this project deals with psychoactive and recreational drugs in a wider scope than the drugs project, creating systems of categorization that solve some of the problems encountered by the drugs project when dealing with these drugs (due to its narrower scope).

Articles are also assessed and categorized by quality. See/Assessment for information on the project's assessment department.
Most of the important psychoactive and recreational drugs articles are also tagged as WikiProject Medicine articles.User:West.andrew.g/Popular medical pages has a good list of popular medical pages. Generally recreational drugs articles are near the top of the list.
Note: Some of these need to be fixed since the change in scope.
