Bonus cheer for linking Erowid...
I agree about fey avoiding salvia--he'd be terrified.
I disagree with you about shrooms. Psilocybin's positive effect on depression, anxiety and OCD has been shown in studies from the 1950s through 2012.
MDMA? Sure, but anything on campus today is unlikely to be MDMA--more likely one of the molecularly similar designer drugs offered by "research chem" sites the past decade or so.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
As to the fat girls: sometimes amazing things happen when people are treated to a bit of affection and thereby gain some of the self-respect and confidence they lacked. I dated a pudgy fellow soldier way back when--because she was smart and funny, pretty despite the extra pounds. Over a period of a few months she transformed herself into a real beauty.
I'd urge fey to focus on finding a relationship that includes genuine mutual affection and respect, rather than seeking a trophy lover. Everything else will follow.

Welcome back, foreveryoung, and good on you! I hope you'll forget any prior sarcasm or vitriol from me long enough to recognize my sincerity.
Of all the adventures life offers, the adventures of the heart are the grandest.
Just a few words of advice: You are in a position of power.
Don't be a dick.

Power

What's the point of having power if ... wait, that's the sort of thing I shouldn't say out loud, isn't it?
We couldn't love you half so much, if we loved not the things you shouldn't say out loud more.
A power differential already created the event, but it's difficult to say who is more vulnerable.
So I thought, as my grand-daughter once said, "A little reminder'a, you know, grand'a, being nice, would be, you know, nice."
And I always thought he might be a little bit of a dick, so I figured it couldn't hurt.
