We hope July is going well for everyone. Read on to see a few things that Erowid has been working on.

Survey for women who have used psilocybin-containing mushrooms:
The Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Research Project is conducting a survey of adult women who have had a profound experience with psilocybin mushrooms. The survey is an attempt to gain gender balance after a previous survey received significantly more responses from men than from women. If you qualify, help them out by responding! http://csp.org/hopkins/survey

Florida's Office of Vital Statistics reported that more than 171,300 deaths occurred in Florida in 2009. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement states that 7 of these deaths included MDMA (Ecstasy) as a causal agent, 1,185 included oxycodone, and over 1,000 included benzodiazepines such as Alprazolam (Xanax). Zero deaths were caused by cannabinoids.

Stolaroff, Hubbard, and Osmond in Conversation (1964) Two days after ingesting LSD together, Myron Stolaroff, Al Hubbard, and Humphry Osmond discuss interpersonal dynamics and the challenges of working with psychedelics in groups. One of the few extant recordings of Hubbard. Published as part of The Stolaroff Collection.

5-MeO-DMT is Not "DMT" 5-MeO-DMT and DMT (the common name for N,N-DMT) are entirely different substances. Shortening 5-MeO-DMT to "DMT" can present some serious problems. 5-MeO-DMT is also headed for Schedule I.

Prior Exposure to MDMA May Block High-Dose Neurotoxicity Research has indicated that a low dose of a neurotoxin can provide protection against more severe damage from a later dose of the same substance. This article examines this phenomenon in relation to MDMA.

Erowid Center will staff a psychoactive drugs information booth at the Boom Festival, August 18-26 at Idanha-a-Nova Lake, Portugal.
