As we wait for some political leadership on #pilltesting, people can use reagent tests kits. They're rudimentary at best, but can identify dangerous adulterants, particularly if using multiple reagents. Feat @ssdp_australia & @ECU Via @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/while-la…
Have you used > 2 illegal drugs in your lifetime?
We're developing a scale that measures the good aspects of a drug's effects (and the less good effects).
And we need your help!

NEW paper, led by PhD student @SaschaBThal. In this qualitative study we explored the perspectives of people with lived or living experience of SUD (substance use disorder) treatment and stakeholders within SUD treatment facilities in Australia; OA link: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Great summary of the harassment of the TGA by MMA
Just stumbled upon emails between the TGA and Mind Med Australia - have people seen this? Seems to be from FOI - not sure who this email is from but they don't like PRISM and rely heavily on the "calibre" of their faculty... e.g. Sessa, Bourzat tga.gov.au/sites/default/fil…

Wild how @MindMedicineAU can't mute ppls mics in a large webinar, but as soon as they saw me in the meeting, booted me out 2x, for nothing 💀. I didn't even comment on the absurdity of Peter aggressively telling people to ignore any critical researchers.

(1/3) #PitchFestival was cut short due to extreme fire danger. Thousands of festival-goers had to evacuate.
But instead of getting people out safely, @VictoriaPolice prioritised drug testing people on the roads leading out of the festival.

Great, so we're doing estimated 'street values' for seized vapes now.
Tune in next week for 'record seizures show our plan is working', 'landed another decisive blow against organised crime', and other fact-free furphys from the prohibition crowd.

There is a concept known as "drug seizure porn". You know the deal: guns, drug and money in a photo next to a story about a massive drug seizure. However, this is new: vapes. We are not really sure how to categorise this!?!

In 2017 I led a team of volunteers doingunderground pill testing at a festival just weeks after a new dangerous drug had resulted in several deaths in Melbourne.
Even amateurs with rough tools were able to detect and prevent use of this deadly drug.

EXEMPLAR: Great story on #pilltesting by @heyracheddie via @theage featuring @AshBinAus and @ssdp_australia!
The fact that Victoria prohibits official pill testing, despite similar monitoring of drugs occurring, is ridiculous and hypocritical.
