Websites to add to your research tool belt

The purpose of this post is to provide a variety of websites as resources for a variety of subject matter.

DrugBank
(great for nailing down exactly what your medication is doing)

Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Database
(To search for: what is in a particular plant, what plants contain a specific chemical, chemicals with a specific activity, ethnobotanical usage, lethal dose, etc)


I have been using both for more than 10 years and though each have some limiting factors, they can be very useful if used correctly.  I wanted to add a website with very accurate information about psychotropic plants/ethnogens (because there is a need for it), but I found too many sites with misinformation (ie. writers telling readers to take a dosage that would cause an over-dose).  I will share more on the subject at a later date.


EDIT:

HerbMed
