Review for Erowid Center, Grass Valley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Were it not for Erowid, I would likely have one or both feet in the grave. At one point I was an intravenous opioid addict. The information on Erowid's website relating to the properties of the drugs themselves, as well as to ways to more safely inject, and as to methods of obtaining, handling, and cleaning needles and related paraphernalia, has kept my body in good shape considering my bad habits. It has also kept me from contracting HIV and hepatitis. I am grateful for this resource and the lives it saves. It irks me that their website is BLOCKED by most school and public library computers, simply because "drugs are bad" and thus so is anything discussing them in any way that is not strictly derogatory.
