As the sun climbs towards the hot solstice in North America and oil
continues to gush from a broken pipe on our seabed, it's time for
the Erowid crew to fix, clean, and re-organize our own little parts
of the universe: our collections, offices, and libraries. It's also
time to tidy our packs for traveling to conferences and festivals.
June 7-9, Sylvia will be presenting and chairing a panel at the Club
Health Conference in Zürich, Switzerland. Jon and Bläk Hanna will be
running a psychoactive drug information table at the Harmony Festival
in Santa Rosa, California from June 11-13. Later in June, Jon and
Sylvia will be reorganizing Jon's library and the finished Stolaroff
Collection papers to make room for upcoming projects. Earth and Fire
will also be starting to plan a move of the main Erowid Library to a
new location.
June 1985 - Business Week publishes "The Losing War Against Designer
Drugs", following the Drug Enforcement Administration's May 31st
order to emergency schedule MDMA (Ecstasy).

room treatment of people experiencing crises under the influence of
psychedelics.

Casual users of psychedelics often repeat the factoid that N,N-DMT is
created in the human pineal gland. But is it really? Where did this
idea originate, and what evidence is there to support it?
