The following 3 links are not an endorsement of the web sites represented. The information is intended to be a reference for parents, teachers and anyone concerned about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. The first 2 sites seem to be promoting "informed" substance abuse. Many people are of the opinion that if they "research" their drug of choice that they have some control over their trip. The 3rd link is a web site  soliciting "resellers" for their "research chemicals".

  1. EROWID "documenting the complex relationship between humans and psychoactives"
  2. Shroomery "We help spread accurate information about magic mushrooms so people can make informed decisions about what they put in their bodies."
