Pill testing doesn't need to be controversial Australia lead the way in harm reduction 4 injecting drug users-especially opiate users-DECADES ago Focusing on messaging without dealing with what's actually happening is incredibly ignorant #BeHeardNotHarmed #PillTesting #AusPol

David Nutt "there is no one solution. We need to look at all the complex reasons why people use drugs and how they affect them if we're going to get anywhere". #VAADA2019

Stay very tuned... hopefully Harm Reduction Vic & DanceWize will have some input to that discussion...

The community sets the tone for #INHSU19. Calls include an end on war on drugs, ensuring people who inject drugs are at the centre of solutions, removing stigma and ensuring people can access their human rights

Contributing to the community opening of #INHSU19 by reading out key messages in the opening plenary with @AdamPalayew (in French) Margaret Hellard (in Australian :)) and 10 others.
