Erowid Announcement #68
Jun 30, 2006
Friends of Erowid,
Ok, so it's the "slightly late June announcement". To paraphrase the old aphorism: time flies when you're too busy. We hope everyone else's June was full of slack and relaxation.
With the latest issue of Erowid Extracts out the door and mostly in members' hands by now, the last issue, Extracts 9, is now available online. See below for more details.
The new issue is focused on the primacy of personal experience in the study of psychoactives: the survey as measurement, meditation as tool, and the first-person report as transcript. Get your copy by becoming a member:

- Erowid ExtractsErowid.org/general/newsletter/erowid_newsletter9.pdf
Issue #10 of Erowid Extracts was sent to members in June, so issue #9 from November 2005 is now available to read online in PDF format. Individual articles have also been added to the vaults:
a) How Do They Measure Up? Examining Drug Use Surveys and Statistics
Part I: The Sources
Erowid.org/statistics/statistics_article1.shtml
Part II: The Problems
Erowid.org/statistics/statistics_article2.shtml
This two-part article deconstructs (for the layperson) where the primary drug use statistics in the U.S. come from and how they are compiled. Sounds dry, but it's a good read, honest!
c) Recent News & Update
Erowid.org/extracts/erowid_newsletter9_news.shtml
Includes a description of DEA uses of Erowid images.
d) Rumor and Ethic: Careful Communication as a Harm Reduction Measure
Erowid.org/psychoactives/basics/basics_article1.shtml
Awareness-raising tips for peer-to-peer communication about psychoactive plants and chemicals.
e) Ask Erowid: What Is the Shelf Life of Peyote?
Erowid.org/plants/peyote/peyote_article2.shtml
Examination of historical sample sheds light on the longevity of mescaline in peyote.
