PsychonautWiki
http://psychonaut3z5aoz.onion/
PsychonautWiki is a community-driven online encyclopedia that aims to document the emerging field of psychonautics in a comprehensive, scientifically-grounded manner. Our primary motivations include:
-
documenting all aspects of psychonautic theory and practice (including meditation, lucid dreaming, psychoactive substance use, sensory deprivation, ritual, etc.) from an evidence-based, academic perspective
-
providing accessible education, encouraging safe practices, and reforming cultural taboos around the responsible use of psychoactive substances, using both expert and crowd-sourcing methods
-
promoting a culture of free thought and personal autonomy by safeguarding the information needed to make informed decisions over altering one’s body and consciousness
Erowid

Erowid is a member-supported organization providing access to reliable, non-judgmental information about psychoactive plants, chemicals, and related issues. We work with academic, medical, and experiential experts to develop and publish new resources, as well as to improve and increase access to already existing resources. We also strive to ensure that these resources are maintained and preserved as a historical record for the future.
National Harm Reduction Coalition
https://harmreduction.org/
Our work is to uplift the voices and experiences of people who use drugs and bring harm reduction strategies to scale. For more than 25 years, we’ve worked with communities to create, sustain, and expand evidence-based harm reduction programs and policies.
They help make sure people can stay safe by finding sterile syringes, Naloxone distribution, and fentanyl testing. Check them out!
Tripsit

We are eager, willing, and prepared to guide or ‘tripsit’ users who may be having a hard time while under the influence of drugs.Our network is comprised of an IRC chat team dedicated to 24/7 live support from quick information to a friendly guide through difficult experience. We also offer a drug-information wiki for those seeking quick information and a live radio service for those seeking musical company.

Drugs and Me
https://drugsand.me/en/
Drugs and Me provides accessible, objective and comprehensive educational material to help reduce the short and long term harms of drugs. We are a group of scientists, educators and analysts with extensive experience in drug education. We wanted to do something to stop the increasing number of accidents and deaths that occur in the world due to lack of drug education.
DrugWise
https://www.drugwise.org.uk/
As well as updating our drug information and writing new reports, we provide a full range of DrugScope archival materials and all Druglink articles back to 1986.
DrugWise also has an international dimension which is not restricted to drugs, but includes alcohol and tobacco where the advent of e-cigarettes is causing as much controversy as that surrounding the conflicting views on drug policy and practice.
There are many robust international and internationally-relevant national reports and reviews in all these areas. The problem is that they are not all in one place. So we have created I-Know, the international knowledge hub which will build up a library of information, policy and practice material stored on our server so that they will always be available.
