Friends of Erowid,

The new Erowid Extracts is at the printer! This issue includes results of a 2C-B-Fly survey, a novel smoking cessation therapy using scopolamine and atropine, a report about the Boom Festival including a look at on-site pill and substance testing, info about "changa", a DMT- and MAOI-containing smoking blend, and more.

The final day of our October membership drive is tomorrow: join Erowid today, get the new Erowid Extracts, AND help us meet our goal of 50 new members in October! We really need your support.
