As we move towards Solstmas and 2012--a year that promises stories
about Mayan prophecies and homages to Terence McKenna--the Erowid
crew has been digging through more archiving work. While the DEA has
been busy harassing medical marijuana dispensaries and emergency
scheduling some euphoric stimulants, we've been finishing the next
issue of Erowid Extracts and prepping for November's Reform
Conference. We're also thinking ahead to December gatherings:
Entheogenesis Australis and MAPS' Cartographie Psychedelica.
We hope to see some of you at these events!
Drug Geek Factlet
Research published in 2010 found that acetaminophen (paracetamol) was
able to reduce the cognitive pain of social rejection. Although
acetaminophen is well known for reducing physical pain, this research
shows how blurry the lines can be between psychoactive and
non-psychoactive drugs.
