Erowid only publishes about a third of submitted trip reports, and tries to publish ones they feel are representative of some aspect of the range of possible experiences. (E.g. if there are 100 possible effects of a drug, they're only going to publish 3 or 4 trip reports that are primarily about effect X.)
So while casually interesting, the authors are pretty irresponsible for not explaining the limitations of the dataset.
