Erowid, also called Erowid Center, is a non-profit educational organization that provides information, activities and technologies about psychoactive plants and chemicals. While primarily the site offers data about psychoactive chemicals, there are a few useful procedures for obtaining useful reagents for home chemistry.
As the site is mostly about illegal drugs, browsing it from monitored locations may be risky. Browse it on your own risk.
