    I find that on some relatively popular drugs, there is no description of effects, or doses. It pisses me off, thinking that somewhere somebody is going "hey, since it doesn't say anything, I'll just eat all these 20 tabs of ACID." Seriously, there should be some more info on there.

    You can't accurately give an acid tab dosage. One could fit 3 mg on a square of standard size blotter, or one could put 10 ug.

    The only thing they are a bit behind on that I can see are some of the RCs. It isn't just the site maintainer's faults though. People need to submit more experience reports. Theres only a couple for DOC. Maybe if people start submitting it will get it's own section. If people include dosages with all their reports, it will give readers a good feel for it even if erowid hasn't posted some official sounding numbers.

    It may not be as complete as it could be, but I dare you to find a more comprehensive site about drugs and the drug culture.

    no way in hell you could fit 3 mg on 1 blotter, or even 1 mg. But back to the original post erowid doesnt have everything but its still got a shit load of info.

    I've submitted several experience reports myself...you have to keep in mind that the entirety of Erowid is maintained by two people who do it on the side of their real lives. It's actually quite amazing that they have even have time to sift through all the submissions they manage to upload on a daily basis.

    There's plenty of information regarding the dosage of LSD, however, it actually requires that you read and use a little common sense. Also, while DOC maybe somewhat popular, it's still a research chemical; experimenting with cutting edge compounds is simply a business that involves risking your life, and if you haven't accepted that fact already you shouldn't be toying with such things in the first place. ;)

    YOU have the POWER to make it "too" complete : eat 20 tabs. then report your experience.
    voilĂ ! people around the world will know if it's a good idea thanks to you.

    Erowid preaches personal responsibility. It's a portal and there ARE how-to's. But it isn't a quick guide for kids to think they can safely take something because there is no warning on a site.
    20 tabs of acid isn't that big of a deal though it is mentionned that you have to have a sitter on a high dose of psychedelic.
    But there are more than enough warnings on dangerous stuff like datura and... stuff.

    i agree its more of a site to say hey if your going to do it more power to ya, but first look at what your doing. Also alot of drugs arnt studied alot like PCP is one of the more popular drugs but info on it good info not government one sided shit there realy isnt any,also who makes acid not regulated labs with laws, there made by some people who some how have the knowledge and the stuff they dont or cant regulate doses because they dont sell directly to everyone most dealers dont even know how acid works let alone what the dose is,same with E and many other drugs

    I'm sorry man, but you're wrong about that. I've got the math laying around here somewhere.

    My point was the extreme of both. I doubt anyone has ever made LSD blotter with 3mg hits. If they had, they surely didn't release it to the public. RCs, on the other hand, are another story. Plenty of DOB/DOC/DOI/5-MeO-AMT blotters are very active in one hit of a standard size. 3mg is pushing it, obviously, but not impossible.

    5-Meo-AMT is hardly even active at doses under 3 mg! According to Erowid, 2 mg of LSD can fit on a single 1/4" x 1/4" piece of blotter. Obviously a single 2 mg dose of DOM can fit on the same blotter.

    There may have never been 3 mg hits of LSD laid for us commoners...but a 2 mg hit of LSD on a standard blotter is still possible to lay.

    Indeed... one has seen active dose DOC blotter. Not to worry, it was done by the individual for personal usage. Only a matter of time though before it becomes pretty widespread.

    Sad, but beats DOI/DOB. Some even prefer it to LSD.

    well, i don't have too much to say about acid as i do about erowid itself. If i had to give it a grade, i'd give it a C minus. Yes, they are informative and since there are not many sites like it it is helpful, but not by far. i say this because there are several psychoactives that it does not discuss. The first one being propoxyphene (darvocet) and the other being meperidine (demerol), it doesn't say anything about them. It does on about prozac but nobody who goes on that site gives a s*** about prozac. My other problem with erowid is that a lot of the information is inaccurate. You can PM me if you want to discuss that aspect of the site because i could go on forever about that. But if feel that NORML is even more guilty on inaccuracy, particularly about the laws and consequences of each state's mj laws.

    It's a discussion board, so by all means, discuss.

    As far as propoxyphene, why would you expect them to dish out information on another low-grade opiate? It has no real recreational value, aside from dosages that would cause serious damage to your GI tract.

    Erowid focuses it's attention on common psychoactives, and just happens to delve into the basics of hundreds of not-so-hardy compounds and plants. I'd like to know exactly how you'd grade it a C-; compared to what, the Lycauem? Neon Joint? NORML isn't even an information databank, it's merely a website for a pro-legalization organization with it's focus on cannabis...

    if erowid isnt complete(an no site will ever be fully complete) which site is better. seriously i think erowid is an A+ with all other sites being C- at the most.
    There will be some mistakes wherever you go...w are humans...but erowid is the most up ton date and complete site on the web. shit, the site is huge...i can spend years reading info and still not have read it all.

    lol, you want erowid to document every single opiate? That'd just be a waste of time.
