Re: Question about Excerising during a Fast

When you put things in quotes it is only fair to quote your source, as Chrisb1 does all the time.

People should read the Wikipedia aricle on Erowid:

Criticisms and controversies

Due to the controversial subject matter presented in Erowid, the site has drawn praise and criticism from both the media and medical officials. American physician and broadcaster Dean Edell often recommends Erowid to listeners interested in learning about drugs and drug use.[citation needed] On the other hand, Edward Boyer, an emergency-room physician and toxicologist, while admitting that Erowid has a plethora of useful information, argued the site may be causing more harm than good to potential drug users. "Though Boyer has since come to cautiously admire Earth and Fire, and no longer refers to their site as 'partisan,' he still argues that Erowid minimizes adverse effects and includes too much dodgy — and potentially harmful — data in its quest to present all sides. 'Erowid is so comprehensive, and so much of the information is correct, that unless you're an expert in medical toxicology you may miss the dangerous information that's close to the surface.'"[8]

Erowid.org is currently blocked by Websense filters as "Inappropriate Content."[9] It is also blocked by school web-filter Bess as "Drugs".

I can't see the point in quoting unqualified people posting in forums of dubious repute, without reference to your source. I think the quotes may mislead the more naive people and new people here into thinking it is an authoritative opinion. You would be better off stating it is your opinion, and arguing why, by quoting examples and medical references. Tweet
