Back in 2017 we ran an underground pill testing operation. A couple of weeks earlier several people had died from adulterated drugs in Melbourne. We knew it was likely the same substance would be present at a large outdoor music festival. 1/12 x.com/monicabarratt/…

Today on International Overdose Awareness Day #IOAD2022 Burnet Institute endorses the call to reform current policy responses to drug use, including exploring opportunities to decriminalise drug use burnet.edu.au/news/1668_time… #EndOverdose International Overdose Awareness Day

There is so much to lose from being honest about drug use, with society as it is today. We see it in our community. You can lose your kids, your future, and end up in prison. So too often we end up using secretly, behind locked doors, and dying alone from overdoses

Behind every overdose there’s a human being loved by someone, my beautiful son Daniel always in my thoughts forever in my heart. Mum xo

How to stay #OverdoseAware this #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay: 🟣 Know the signs of an overdose 🟣 Keep an eye out on those around you 🟣 Know how to respond to an overdose Together we can work to #EndOverdose.
