Following 2 deaths in 2 days of Scottish ambulance service staff, it's so important to speak about mental health.
We are exposed to so much and feel like we always need to help others, but it's so important to look after ourselves.
Any SAS staff needing an invite to page below?
Thank you @NaloxonePlym
for this alert about contaminants sold as MDMA near Plymouth resulting in serious harms.
Free, non -judgmental drug checking event @BDProads with @WeAreTheLoopUK Saturday 28th December in Bristol
Free testing by post: @WEDINOSProject#CarryNaloxone
Contaminated #MDMA has been found in an area close to #Plymouth. #Naloxone has been effective in some cases.
The drug being sold as MDMA has none of the desired effects of MDMA. It is white and crystalline.
Check your drugs - find out about reagent tests.

The 1st & only regular #drugchecking service in the UK (us!) celebrates the 1st birthday next month 🥳
After many months of stakeholder negotiations, more drug checking services will be opening next year.
Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2024, especially our volunteers!
📣 In 2024 The Loop tested 643 pills, obtained from across UK event- & community-based testing.
What did we learn?
>95% of pills contained more than an average adult dose (~100mg) of MDMA
>99% of pills contained only MDMA & no other drug

Planning on dissolving MDMA in your drink?
Be aware of the risks as this has been linked with serious medical incidents across the UK.
If you are planning on taking MDMA, consider alternative modes of intake and be aware of signs of drug-related emergency.

This #HumanRightsDay, our latest report highlights how punitive drug policies disproportionately impact marginalized communities, fueling stigma and discrimination. A human rights-based approach to drug policy is essential. Read it here in EN, FR, ES: https://t.co/24pzyi6Xqa
