The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track Glutethimide there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:
Glutethimide Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com) Oral dose (mg): light 250 · common 500 · strong 750+ Oral duration: onset 30-45m · peak 2-8h · total 2-8h · after-effects 1-12h Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.
Tip: for quicker logging you can also add a Custom Unit in the app, e.g. common dose ~ 625 mg (Oral).
The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
