Erowid Announcement #33
September 15, 2003
Greetings Friends,
In typical summer fashion, things have been very busy. There hasn't been an announcement sent out in four months! So we're going to be sending out two messages (this one for May-June and a second for July-Present) to cover everything that's happened since the last announcement was sent out.
On May 25th, Earth and I (Fire) spoke at Mindstates IV in Berkeley, California. There we presented data about work we've been doing to get lab testing done on samples of street LSD. You can read more about this in this fall's issue of our newsletter Erowid Extracts.
In summer fundraising, signed copies of three Shulgin books (PIHKAL, TIHKAL and The Simple Plant Isoquinolines) are available to members who donate $150 or more. For more modest donations, we now have Erowid mugs! See details below. Please join Erowid to show your support for quality information about psychoactives available to everyone.
We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.
peace,
fire, earth, & the Erowid crew
