Greetings Friends,

Below are a few interesting additions that have been made to Erowid in the past month. Note the emergency scheduling of two new substances, AMT and 5-MeO-DIPT.

We continue to focus some of our time on fundraising as we try to figure out how best to continue this project for another year. We have just started a membership drive to try to reach 600 members by June 1st. If you have the ability to help, please consider joining the growing ranks of Erowid supporters. Erowid.org/donations/

We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
fire, earth, & the Erowid crew

1. 5-MeO-DiPT and AMT are Emergency Scheduled
   Erowid.org/chemicals/amt/amt_law.shtml
   Erowid.org/chemicals/5meo_dipt/5meo_dipt_law.shtml
   On April 4, 2003, the DEA issued its final order to temporarily place 5-MeO-DiPT and AMT in Schedule I. The temporary scheduling will last up to 18 months or until they permanently schedule the substances. This ruling makes both of these substances illegal to buy, sell, or possess without a DEA license.
