Fire Erowid and Earth Erowid co-founded Erowid Center, a U.S.-based educational non-profit organization that collects, reviews, and publishes data about psychoactive plants, drugs, technologies, and practices. Their primary project is the Erowid.org website, established in 1995 as an independent public library of information about psychoactives. The site hosts more than 58,000 public documents and images and serves more than 90,000 unique visitors each day. Erowid Center also runs EcstasyData.org, an independent laboratory pill-testing program that analyzes anonymously submitted samples of ecstasy tablets and other recreational drugs and publishes the results online. Earth is Erowid Center's Technical Director and the Chief Software Engineer of Erowid.org. He designs and implements the custom software systems necessary for managing the large flow of information through the site and is the lead editor responsible for scientific information published by Erowid. Earth has worked in the field of psychoactive information distribution for more than 15 years and has written extensively on the topic. He has co-authored academic posters, been published in both large and small publications, and been interviewed by major news organizations about his work.
