Erowid drug reports

Erowid is an interesting site: it's about drugs and includes unregulated reports from thousands of readers about their experiences with all kinds of drugs. I think it's valuable because drugs is one of those areas where the hysteria is so great that it's hard to find information which is not strongly tinted by some political agenda. For the "establishment", drugs (unless sold by highly profitable pharmacies) are the Great Evil. For the anti-establishment, drugs are the way to "go free and beyond". I suspect both extremes are BS.

Depends on the drug. Heroin would be dangerous even if produced pure by a company. A lot of people think that marijuana is OK but not if used over a long period because the active ingredient will eventually cause the same problems you get with prolonged use of LSD.

Using drugs to go beyond or however you put it is obviously a cheat since anything you experience isn't really anyway.
