Erowid Announcement #36
November 22, 2003
Greetings Friends,
Issue #5 of our newsletter Erowid Extracts should have arrived on members doorsteps this week. Included in the 24 page publication are articles on the Pseudo-Science of the War on Drugs, Limiting Liability while Discussing Psychoactives, the Analysis of Street LSD, the Importance of Measured Doses, an update of our progress on Erowid 3.0, and more. We're looking for feedback about the content, design, and presentation from those who have received it. If you'd like to become a member and receive Extracts, visit Erowid.org/donations/
A big thanks to those who responded to our Amazon.com Wish List in the last announcement. We've recently expanded the list with 18 more books we've hope to add to our resources. If you would like to help build the Erowid library by contributing a book, you can find our list at:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/registry/33P6A9QAXHONK/
And as always, we want to thank all of the volunteers who help out behind the scenes at Erowid, by pointing out broken links, submitting articles and images, and helping create new Vaults. Through this sort of collective effort the collective human knowledgebase will evolve. We hope one day to have better systems in place to share all the positive feedback we get with more of those who help out.
We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.
peace,
fire, earth, & the Erowid crew
