October 1962. A mysterious plant used ritually by the Mazatec is
sourced in San Jose Tenango, Mexico, dried for transport, and brought
to the United States by R. Gordon Wasson and Albert Hofmann. This
specimen is later examined and given the name Salvia divinorum by
Carl Epling and Carlos D. Játiva-M.
In the same month, Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert launch the
International Foundation for Internal Freedom (IFIF), a group with
the mission of administering and investigating
consciousness-expanding drugs.

Continuing our tradition, we held the third annual September drive
aiming for the highest number of individual contributions in a single
month. Shooting past our goal of 818, we received donations from
861 people in September, raising a total of $29,300. Thanks to
everyone who came through in this show of support for Erowid Center.

New MDMA and MDA Effects Duration Graphs
We made new duration charts based on data from two separate papers
(Harris, Baggott, et al. 2002 and Baggott, Siegrist, et al. 2010)
that describe experiments in which humans were given MDMA or MDA.
Notably, the MDA research showed that around half of the twelve
subjects reported they still felt high at eight hours after being
given approximately 100 mg of MDA.
EcstasyData is a project of Erowid Center that conducts laboratory
testing of street ecstasy tablets and publishes these and other test
results online.
