I saw this in my email yesterday night from maps  Hopefully they win. Of all the organizations listed i think maps would provide the most benefits from the prize money not just to themselves but to psychedellics & society in general.

It's quite amazing that they're giving 10% away. I mean, it is still a community building effort, they know that this is exactly what makes reddit so popular. It is still a bold step, and i'm surprised, yet happy that MAPS got a part of the money.

Skip the manual, now, where's the master switch?

I saw it today as i was reading on Erowid and saw the banner. This is really great to see that there is recognition and rewards. I think Nexus could use that kind of boost since a lot of excelent hard work has and is done in this community.  ˝What you are is this deep deep thing...and you love to play.˝ - ?

Great to hear this, Erowid and MAPS deserve it! "It permits you to see, more clearly than our perishing mortal eye can see, vistas beyond the horizons of this life, to travel backwards and forwards in time, to enter other planes of existence, even (as the Indians say) to know God." R. Gordon Wasson
