cheap ed hardyThe public health department at Liverpool John Moores University is appealing to revellers who take the drug to come forward. Their experiences on a night out will be recorded by academics.
The guinea pigs will be in touch with the scientists by text message and report back throughout the night on their varying states of consciousness using "an adjective bar".
The terms range from "sad" or "depressed" at the bottom to "very happy" and "euphoric" at the top. The trialists will be asked to attend a post-comedown interview to analyse their experiences.
