About the issue

The Doping Issue opens the run: performance, chemistry and the lines people are paid to cross.

A newspaper on human chemistry and its politics. Issue № 001 leads with doping — the science, the enforcement and the grey market that runs underneath both.

Part of Pharmakon Publishing House: printed on newsprint, made as a collectible issue rather than a disposable one.

Pharmakon

Pharmakon is an old Greek word that means remedy and poison at once. We prefer to separate the two. Chemistry never did.

A substance becomes medicine through dose, circumstance, belief, law and the hand that gives it. The same substance can heal, alter, sedate, stimulate or destroy. Its chemistry may remain unchanged while everything around it changes. Pharmakon follows those changes. We trace what humans have put into bodies, why they did it, who decided what was permitted, and what happened afterward.
