Folks, I am sorry but I had to delete the "old" website due to technical problems some two days after it was launched.

Feel free to visit the site now, under a new name, the Herbal Archive, at its new address:

http://sites.google.com/site/herbalarchive

Since I promised daily updates, I uploaded twelve papers to the site. The titles of the papers are:

1. Two UK suicides using nicotine extracted from tobacco employing instructions available on the Internet

2. Hallucinogens and dissociative agents naturally growing in the United States

3. Poppy and Opium in Ancient Times: Remedy or Narcotic?

4. Khat: A Plant With Amphetamine Effects

5. "Ayahuasca," the South American Hallucinogenic Drink: An Ethnobotanical and Chemical Investigation

6. Clinical investigations of the therapeutic potential of ayahuasca: rationale and regulatory challenges

7. A Methodology for Studying Various Interpretations of the N,N-dimethyltryptamine-Induced Alternate Reality

8. Twenty Years of Peyote Studies

9. Peyote Constituents: Chemistry, Biogenesis, and Biological Effects

10. Tabernanthe iboga: An African Narcotic Plant of Social Importance

11. Some ethnopharmacological notes on African hallucinogens

12. Salting-Out of Acetone from Water - Basis of a New Solvent Extraction System

As for my older topics, namely, the ones on the isolation of natural chemicals (http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=20199) and on the preparation of simple chemicals (http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=19639), I won't write there anymore, but on the Herbal Archive you will find a little bit about that.
