With the veritable glut of sensationalist, alarmist information regarding drugs so widespread-both on the internet and in the popular understanding-it's a relief to know that I always have a reliable resource in Erowid. I recommend this site to all my friends who imbibe substances, especially those who cite and perpetuate the aforementioned sensationalist myths. Erowid is a wellspring of reliable and pertinent information about everything from LSD to alcohol and caffeine, and in addition offers a wealth of personal experiences.

As someone who is interested in exploring the perception of the human experience, I also find the "Mind and Spirit" section very interesting. At various points in time, I have gleaned considerable knowledge (and been connected to other resources) about the topics of meditation, prayer, fasting, breathing, and dreaming.
