Review for Erowid Center, Grass Valley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Coming from a full time college student, this database has proved itself to be invaluable. Not in the way of "Haha yeah, let's see what drugs I can take to get the coolest effects"; rather, it serves a very educational and unbiased source of drug (legal and illegal) information. The articles are well cited and kept up to date accordingly. This proves to be crucial, especially on a college campus in the 21st century, because, if I'm being honest, the usual methods of inebriation via alcohol and marijuana are largely a thing of the past. Now kids are taking all kinds of drugs, expanding out into consumption of synthetic "designer" drugs (2ci, 2cb, n-bome to name a few). With the presence of these research chemicals (rc's) on campus, comes their accompanying side effects and potential health hazards. Erowid always has reliable information on these substances, no matter how recently they've fallen into the hands of the public. I assist in risk management in a Fraternity and have consulted Erowid when making the decision of whether or not it is necessary to request medical intervention. All in all, it is a great site that truly does save lives, albeit indirectly.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Not. The website is streamlined and serves its purpose very well.
