Mission Statement

Erowid Center's mission is to provide and facilitate access to objective, accurate, and non-judgmental information about psychoactive plants, drugs, technologies, and related issues.

About This Cause

Erowid Center provides public education based on an understanding that the use of psychoactive medicines, herbs, street drugs, practices, and technologies will continue to impact our society and culture for the foreseeable future. Society needs more methods for accumulating and providing open, public access to credible information on those topics, especially those which can be used as the basis for educational programs. Erowid Center directly educates the public about psychoactive substances—from legal caffeinated beverages to prescription pharmaceutical painkillers to illegal psilocybin-containing mushrooms. Information is presented from a non-judgmental viewpoint that isn’t intended to convince people to abstain, but instead provides them with the data necessary to make their own rational choices. Erowid.org is the world’s largest globally accessible collection of information about psychoactive plants and chemicals. It contains a growing collection of more than 60,000 documents about these substances, covering topics that include: history; effects; dosage; legal status; chemistry; pharmacology; images; traditional, spiritual, and medicinal use; benefits and harms; media coverage; research results; personal experiences; bibliographic and web resources; and drug use statistics. We continue to develop resources that individual psychoactive users can take advantage of to learn about the current state of related knowledge, including both mainstream and alternative viewpoints.
