A deadly drug detected at #CanTEST again last night that would have otherwise been taken #drugchecking https://t.co/Lyyet1LVVn

Thanks for having us to speak with your ANU resi student leaders this week about #aod #harmreduction #decriminalisation and #drugchecking It was heartening to see so many young ppl already aware of @CanTEST and #naloxone / #narcan and keen to look out for their peers

When we implemented @CanTESTCBR we hoped other states would see how doable #drugchecking is and give it a go rather than waiting for more awful examples like this https://t.co/bK8oYHtUv6

There are rarely silver billets for complex issues in society. We don’t do away with seat belts or air bags because they don’t prevent all road deaths. Drug checking saves lives. We need to do what we can, and we CAN do drug checking https://t.co/XTC97DBzFe

The continuation of #drugchecking in Canberra is not only a win for the ACT community, but also for other states watching on to see how do-able and impactful this tried and tested #harmreduction measure is @CanTESTCBR https://t.co/WzNYM61Wyd
