Was discussing ketamine on ⁦BBC Radio 5 Live⁩ at 10.40am today & noted early indications from the annual English Festival Study that young adult prevalence *might* be peaking, with 1 in 3 taking it at UK festivals. ⁦The Loop⁩ ⁦University of Liverpool⁩ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

We started the UK’s 1st dedicated onsite harm reduction drug testing service The Warehouse Project 12 years ago & today our wonderful sister NGO The Loop Australia is drug checking halfway around the world, at the WHP in Melb! & FTIR is now used by drug checking services, all around the world!💜

Excellent Club Health Ghent 2025, including Nicki Killeen describing the #harmreduction benefits of 3 years of ‘Back of House’ onsite drug testing, based on The Loop model. 58% of survey respondents report being willing to surrender drugs to a Back of House testing service.

The ‘doing gender-doing drugs’ team! Had a great time Club Health Ghent 2025 hanging out with academic & #TEDI #DrugChecking colleagues, with this bunch reminded me just how long ago that paper was written. (They proposed I write a 2nd edition. Hmm... 🧐)

We don’t know what the pills were bought as, implicated in 2 deaths & 1 hospitalisation last weekend, but we do know they came home from clubbing & we do know they took nitazene pills very similar to ones tested by The Loop 2 months ago. Test & take care, whatever pills you take.

Worried about #nitazenes? There is still time to get your pills tested by The Loop Bristol DCS until 7pm today! This is the *only* chance to use a professional #drugchecking service anywhere in the UK in the next 4 weeks. #JustSayKnow #ActionBeforeOverdose #TakeQuarterSipWater

Quoted in The Times and The Sunday Times by David Woode on the recent nitazene deaths & why we need universal access to #drugchecking now more than ever. Nitazenes don’t follow the neat binaries of ‘recreational’ & ‘dependent’ drugs, as last month’s tragic deaths illustrate. thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

Quoted in The Independent on nitazenes deaths. This is an opportunity to take stock. #Drugchecking can identify substances of concern in circulation AND identify purchase intent (not known in these tragedies) AND communicate risk targeted to specific communities BEFORE overdose.
