Just assume you're right. Erowid should be an app on every kid's phone because it isn't completely occultish and unfactual. It is so good for people. Alrighty that is settled then. But there is the problem with image at least. They don't bombard you with images on there unless you want to see them, so that is good. The imagery in the experience reports though. That may be a problem. The people making the reports are evil, and/or insane. Bad people to seek drug advice from. VERY bad for the image of dedicated drug users who give it 110% and strive to be better human beings without pissing into a burning goat skull during a bestial orgy. We're spared no imagery when we read that stuff. Like I said. Image. They make drugs scary on that website. They should be, but not in that kind of way.
I don't like the idea of a gigantic psychedelic bible full of bullshit available for children to open 24/7. The guidance it gives is shaky and it doesn't do experimentors any favors. When it comes to psychedelic drugs, reading those reports beforehand taints your own experience, so the purpose of the psychedelics vaults is for entertainment only. Totally backwards. I don't know how to do chemistry but I'm sure there are at least a few typos on there that have caused explosions, overdoses, public freakouts and institutionalizations. Even deaths. The formulas and advice are untrustworthy, and the rest of the material on the site is available elsewhere. Links galore, and most are legit. True. But the core of the site is just icky.
Go on erowid and look around at the so called psychonaut data. It is great to have such a large platform for that, but it is draped in occultism. There is too much personal bias. They can't just be factual. Most authors are into some extremely creepy shit that they drag into their reports. I'd love to see something more scientifically based. The nature of some drugs makes that impossible but it would be something good for the world, if actual psychedelic research were being done out in the open. But that would make too much sense so nah.
The end of erowid you referenced is probably factual because it is general knowledge anyway. The legitimacy of your link and that of my comment about erowid being a cancer to the internet are neigher here nor there. But the fact does remain that a big portion of erowid's material is potentially life threatening if taken as anything other than fiction.
It wouldn't be so bad if erowid wasn't so huge. You don't need erowid teaching kids ANYTHING, but they are definitely going to learn because it is as easy to access as an episode of Future Worm on Cartoon Network's website. That isn't Okay with me.
They should stop being satanic bastards who make drugs look creepy, and remodel things to more scientific standards, with higher restictions on who gets to say what, and who gets to view it. The world gets a little shittier every time someone believes what they read on erowid. I can say that about oh so many virtual things but erowid is a special kind of evil because when it comes to drugs, people can be a little loopy. The fragility of people in drug culture can't be underestimated, and I don't think erowid underestimates it one bit. They profit from it and they use it to spread disease, so nah no thank you on the erowid issue.
Can you answer something rite quick?> Do you think Marijuana is a gateway drug because it is illegal? Nice weed talk? No?
