This site helped me tremendously in my youth, with staying safe and giving me actual knowledge about different chemicals, rather than the complete abstinence information from programs like DARE. At one point, I found that a psychoactive chemical I was taking had a serious side effect with a prescription I was taking, and that information was nowhere to be found through web searches. Without Erowid, I definitely would have permanently damaged my liver! I don't think we should necessarily be marketing psychoactives to the youth, but I'm glad that this type of information is available for those that choose to search for it.

I thought that sounded amazing until I read the trip reports about psychosis and the lethality of the dosage.
