GET YOUR EROWID ON!

Ever heard of a little website called

Erowid.org

? I thought so. What if I told you that this very weekend you had the opportunity to attend a psychedelic drug conference featuring the two founders of Erowid? I bet you would bust a giant load of Salvia extract all over your keyboard! Starting today, the third annual

Horizons conference

will be held at Judson memorial church in Washington Square Park. The speakers include a bunch of doctors who have done interesting psychedelic research, including one who fed psilocybin to terminal cancer patients, plus mushrooms experts, pharmacologists, and spiritual healers. Will this be nerdy? Yes. Will you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed upon entering? It's not out of the question. But such is the price you pay to mingle with A-list psychedelic celebs! Just imagine meeting new and open-minded people with whom you will share meaningful and enlightened exchanges such as how "Cannabis has caused exactly ZERO deaths, but wait… wait…just one second, how many people have died from cigarette inhalation?" Also, perhaps these phrases will pass your lips or slip into your ears: "How fucking ludicrous it is that MDMA has not been approved as an adjunct for psychotherapy" and "the subtle but noticeable aphrodisiac effects of chewing Calamus root." Maybe you will just want to relax and describe your Salvia experiences in painstaking detail to people who actually care and wholeheartedly agree that "ethanol is an inferior intoxicant." If you don't think Erowid is the best website on the Internet read
