ask me about #HarmReduction #addiction #psychology #neuroscience #law oh and how the war on drugs should be abolished & replaced with a regulated market

[The Loop @WeAreTheLoopUK]

On Saturday, we are drug checking in #Bristol
How does it work?
1. Surrender a substance
2. Tell us what you think it is & about your drug use
3. We do lab tests inc. a test for synthetic opioids
4. After ~1 hour, we have results & can give honest advice

@Think_Scotland @FAVORUK @Annemarieward Particularly of contaminated & cut products

But that also needs more public testing services like @WEDINOSProject & @WeAreTheLoopUK set up across Scotland, England & Northern Ireland.

[David Johnson @IridiscentBlue]

@Think_Scotland @FAVORUK @Annemarieward Yes International schemes show in some areas some unwanted effects

Thats in part due to legislation making possession illegal, making supply incredibly difficult & costly to do so legally (so people bypass that and do so illegally)

Change this and harms decrease

@johnbbeta Westfest 2006 was naughty and snuck in buzzing on e's

Psychedelics
You just don't know that we all love them (in the correct doses of course)
Of course Pizza too

[Domino's Pizza UK @Dominos_UK]

starts with P and we all love it

[David Johnson @IridiscentBlue]

Not super surprised by this tbh

However this case should be thrown out as its a total joke

Especially because we should be moving to allow personal possession as it's easily arguable bout medical & performative enhancement benefits these substances are proven to have for many

@BunkPolice Sometimes you can depending on what form it is you get it in and if there's off colouring or even totally different shaping etc

Which at that point I recommend getting it lab tested if you can

[David Johnson @IridiscentBlue]

@BunkPolice If you ask Incubus they'd say Anna

[David Johnson @IridiscentBlue]

Definitely good steps forward by @WeAreTheLoopUK here.

Well done to the councils and Met Police allowing this instead of digging heads in sand like has been seen for far too long now

London’s first publicly accessible drug checking service has launched in Hackney and Camden, offering free, confidential analysis of substances alongside non-judgemental health advice in a bid to reduce drug-related harm.

@NuryVittachi @tomcoady Pretty sure still this'll still be available via tor

[David Johnson @IridiscentBlue]

One day, hopefully in the not too distant future, this will be a service on every single large town or cities high street.
Alongside a much bigger and more ramped up version of postal services like @WEDINOSProject & EnergyControl with better data APIs than what currently exist

Hey @WeAreTheLoopUK
You should really add the ability for people to donate crypto to you.

Heck I'd love it if there were to be @WeAreTheLoopUK crypto coin/physical coin in future!

Heck you should get the licence to supply LoopPills

They'd easily sell, with hr info Inc ofc

If you are pushing the "Anti-depressants are bad" because you somehow still don't get the role that serotonin plays

Please start reading about things like this

@TheLordJesusCh6 @JeremyVineOn5 Also not being funny but no single entity nor any groups of them on this/any other planet/plane of existence has the right nor the mandate in tracking that sort of data bar an individual themselves unless proven they willingly waived the right to do so & never fight for it back

[David Johnson @IridiscentBlue]

@TheLordJesusCh6 @JeremyVineOn5 If anything it'll increase people drinking thier own brews instead of retailed products let alone reduce how many people drink

Hahaha we can't even manage to track people's spending on the basics and here's you wanting to enforce a medieval mindset to people enjoying life
