      Erowid is personal opinions of drug users.

      I don’t lecture about how much acid you should drop or how to prepare for a trip. I give a lecture on the cognitive and physiological changes the drug causes.

      I use scientific resources.

      Other people are welcome to use personal stories and opinions to inform themselves but we don’t use anecdotes in academia because none of them can be verified and are heavily subjective.

      Doesn’t mean they don’t have value. Doesn’t mean the information is false.

      It just means it’s not scientific.

        Erowid is personal opinions of drug users.

        Among other things, including many links to scientific resources.

        This is such a bad take that I again question your research methods.
