Erowid Announcement #79
May 28, 2007
Friends of Erowid,
The new Erowid Extracts is at the printer ready to be mailed to members next week. This issue features U.K. mescaline-containing cactus law and U.S. S. divinorum law news, an introduction to carbogen, MKULTRA and psychedelics, a run-down of the places Erowid has been mentioned (or not mentioned!) in print and other media, and more. New members joining now will receive the June newsletter as well as last November's issue.
Have your donation doubled! It's not too late to have your donation to Erowid matched by the collective generosity of four Erowid supporters. All donations or memberships of $10 and over made before May 31st will be matched. We're hoping to meet the challenge so we can receive the full $10,000 in available funds. With 3 days left, we still have $2,000 to go!
We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.
peace,
fire & earth
