Hey Entheophiles,

Here's a list of what we've been working on for the last month at Erowid. We've gotten a few requests for our pgp key so people can send us submissions privately. I've attached the key to the end of this message.

We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
