Hey Entheo-philes,

It's been a busy two months and it's only getting busier. We've added a ton of new info and have a series of grand plans for upcoming improvements around the site. We (earth & I) are now both working full time on this project to document and help people learn about the varied and complex relationships between humans and psychoactives.

We continue to welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
fire
