My bill, AB 2136, passed the Assembly's Public Safety Committee on a unanimous vote.
Knowing if a drug or medication is tainted or mislabeled is paramount in avoiding an overdose & death.
AB 2136 has the potential to save lives. Read more here: https://t.co/kwc6CrErjJ @latimes

Yesterday was great day to be in Sacramento -- after committee, got to hang out w/ friends and collaborators in town for the harm reduction and sex worker rights rallies at the Capitol.

[Chelsea L. Shover, PhD @ChelseaLShover]

Current version of bill here: https://t.co/ncma9Zc7GC

[Chelsea L. Shover, PhD @ChelseaLShover]

Testified in Public Safety Committee yesterday in support of AB-2136. It passed to appropriations.

The bill would protect both providers and participants in drug checking. Important step for scaling up drug checking as a harm reduction and public health strategy.

Drug Checking LA has an Instagram now...just in time for testifying in Sacramento in support of AB 2136!

My (one year old) kid's daycare has an app to communicate school news w/ parents. Great! But it's clear they also use it for marketing, so I'm getting very persistent emails recommending tutoring to boost my child's grades. 🤣🙃

@olgakhazan I brought a book and surprised myself by actually reading it a little bit to relax. So, seems like a good idea to me.

@CandaceWinstea1 Ahaha thank you. Yayyy I'm glad you were all down for my walking tour of Hollywood harm reduction and vegan pizza!

[Chelsea L. Shover, PhD @ChelseaLShover]

It was so fun to have you!
