I have been using the Erowid website as a reference since the age of 15, and I will be 33 in September. Having this resource online has kept me safe, out of jail, and educated about things that I could not ask anyone else information about. I have been recommending this site for years, and cannot say enough good things. These people and this organization save lives. Period.

Provides a massive wealth of information surrounding psychoactive substances, their effects, potential dangers, and much more. The greatest source of free and accurate information regarding the topic. I have used this site for research on multiple projects and papers and the sheer amount of information available is mind boggling, ranging from Layman's terms explanation to dense, advanced analysis-es.

Erowid is the best place for information on drugs. This site probably saved my life with all of the useful information it provided me with in my younger, reckless college years. I'm most likely not alone in this regard. They are doing great work educating people with information you can not receive anywhere else.

I found Erowid roughly 15 years ago while in high school. At the time myself and many of my peers were becoming interested in mind altering substances. Erowid proved to be a great resource in educating us on safe usage and informed experimentation. I had spent an entire summer reading everything I could about the various plants and chemicals and was able to distinguish those of which interested me from those of which seemed overwhelmingly harmful and dangerous. Even to this day I hear a lot of misinformation and rumor being spoken about different substances and I feel obligated to advice these people to do further research on Erowid to better their own understanding and the collective understanding of all.

Erowid has been, since I was introduced to it, my go-to for information about active components, dosages, risks...
I often recommend Erowid to people when they want to have an objective view on psychoactive substances.

Erowid is simply laid out and provides accurate information about the effects of all classes of drugs in an attempt to help people understand them, their effects, and potential dangers better.

Erowid has been an invaluable unbiased tool in all of my psychoactive research and shamanic studies. I appreciate its availability and hope that it continues to be available as a superior research platform for many years to come.

This is the most comprehensive and detailed website to get informed before taking decisions which might shift your life to an unexpected experience. would love to see this website continuously updated with new information, eventually developed also as an app so you can always have it with you.

When one seeks knowledge pertaining to recreational drug use, its benefits, risks and all other information surrounding it, Erowid is the vault to open. The community does not judge, but does make sure that the information presented is as correct as possible, and when one chooses to partake in any substance, Erowid is the guide to do it as safely as possible.

For non-users it can be a great resource to better understand substances, their users and the community that surrounds drugs.

Erowid has helped to educate me on SO many things! If my friends encounter a new substance and want to try it, I highly encourage them to visit Erowid to learn the effects before ingestion. This website is an encyclopedia for all things drugs, spirit expansion, and mind growth. If you have any questions about anything you want to dabble into, visit Erowid to have a basic, but reliable understanding as to what you might experience. Erowid is basically my primary tool to get a grasp on any substance I am interested in learning about. I tell all my friends to visit this website before trying anything new or if they have a general interest in learning about the things Erowid has to offer.

Provides an amazing repository of unbiased information, something that's hard to find.

Erowid is an invaluable resource. The information and resources provided have helped thousands of individuals, from all walks of life, enjoy themselves responsibly. Drug use is a divisive issue, there is no getting around that fact, but there are people alive today that are still breathing because they were able to research what they were putting into their bodies. As law enforcement continues to drive drug users underground, communities like Erowid will become even more invaluable. I cannot put into words how much this site has helped me and people I know. They are saving lives and I'm hopeful that future generations will identify them as one of the reasons behind drug education, harm reduction, decriminalization, and better quality of life.

This is a good source for information and certainly plays a role in the harm reduction related to entheogenic experiences. Lack of information and lack of research is one of the causes of fear in many aspects of life. Erowid facilitates to obtain and share information for the benefit of all those interested.

Erowid is a blessing. It is one of the only supremely objective websites that provide routinely consistent data and information about drugs. Whether it's the legal status, health effects, safest forms of usage, other's experiences, or the pharma-kinetics & chemistry of a drug, it's all there in an organized efficient manner.

Without a doubt, absolutely zero exaggeration, Erowid has saved my life by providing the wonderful harm-reduction advice in the very nuanced yet factual manner that they do.

Thank You Erowid from me, and from all of my friends whom I've recommended it to.
You are truly a life-saver and one of the last bastions of almost fully unadulterated information.
Once again, Thank You.

Erowid is exactly what a website about psychoactives should be, it is neutral. It's a great vault of knowledge about any drug or mind altering substance, this subject is inherently subject to suspicion from a lot of people, and as a result can be difficult to talk about. But Erowid is a place where people learn and discuss about these things without a filter. I commend erowid for being a safe space, and for undoubtedly saving lives through harm reduction.

Erowid has helped me and several friends out over the years. It has been a valuable resource for all of us when it comes to understanding the experiences, dangers and benefits of mind altering substances of every stripe. This website undoubtedly allows people to make safer decisions in there every day lives when it comes to the subject matter dealt with on the website. Erowid will always have a special place in my heart and always be my first stop when encountering new mind altering substances.

Erowid truly surpasses expectation, as an honest and transparent organization. Primarily accessed through the world wide web, their website is dedicated to the education and safety of the public on subject matter most shy from. I myself have felt completely confident with all of the information I have sifted through and absorbed.

Erowid is an amazing resource as it includes vital information for both professionals and laypersons about substances and their effects. Their blend of both scientifically rigorous information and anecdotal evidence from the general population means that it creates a very non-biased, informed view for anyone interested in really understanding a substance, it's pro's and con's and how to discuss it's use accurately and in a non-stigmatizing way. As a health professional and community member this service is leaps and bounds beyond many other available resources. An A+!!

Erowid is an unrivalled source of unbiased information about psychoactive substances and related issues. In a global climate of blanket prohibition, Erowid is a vital panacea for the rampant ignorance and downright misinformation surrounding these topics. I am just one of countless people that it has helped to make an informed decision about substance use.
