From the latest newsletter from the best and most comprehensive free online resource on plants and drugs, mind and spirit, freedom and law, and arts and culture:

Funding is very low. We need to raise $5-10,000 in April.

While all is well at Erowid, the much-needed addition of a new crew member last fall has put a greater strain on our finances than usual.

Basic memberships start at only $25. Donations of any size help.

Contributions can be made by credit card, check, cash, or PayPal.

In addition to new members we’re hoping to find a larger ($2,000+) contributor to sponsor a matching donation offer in the next month.

Erowid has proven itself an essential resource for not only the individual who considers experimenting with various mind altering substances, but also the DEA, the medical community, and any number of local police and emergency medical facilities. Erowid is an unbiased, fact-driven archive of the most comprehensive information on every substance in the greater drug lexicon. It survives on the largess and generosity of those who recognize its potential for safety and knowledge, useful in the extreme for both the pro- and anti-drug communities. Please consider making a donation this month, and subscribe to the newsletter. A $40-$70 dollar donation lists you as a “friend”, and gets you the best fashion accessory a drug fiend can sport: the Erowid T-shirt!
