Keeping harm reduction available in Ukraine!
Harm reduction is important regardless of what is happening locally. Story of a local NGO, offering opioid substitution therapy, running low on supply, in need of aid.

Pharmacists: as medication experts, we should be able to assess the safety of ALL drug combinations our patients may be taking.

This drug interaction guide by @teamtripsit is my go - to resource for brief interventions. So simple, and user friendly. Ideal for poly substance users like my clients who typically use 4++
ICYMI: @melodistraction have put together a lovely video from our Drugs: Time to Talk event in April with @WeAreTheLoopUK@JaguarWorldwide Andrew Hill & Denis Moran

I fuckin promise you that you can still have fun without having to tell your friends you don’t remember shit or having your friends recall what crazy things you did while you weren’t in control of yourself. here’s a good chart by @teamtripsit
@_DF42@WeAreTheLoopUK Excellent points! I think it may have particular applicability for people who are more 'sharing' their drugs, & with drug classes where profit isn't main motive (psychedelics for example)
With recent tragic festival casualties & increasing distribution of extremely potent pills, public starts to see the necessity of testing w/ @WeAreTheLoopUK & co. Perhaps we should also be thinking about targeting drug producers and distributors with harm reduction information.
Two young people died at a Hampshire rave this weekend after taking pills. A handful of festivals already offer punters the chance to test illegal drugs they've bought for purity but there are no plans to roll this out nationwide. Time for a rethink? #wrightstuff
@_DF42@WeAreTheLoopUK Attempt to open a discussion only at this point, I haven't looked into research on the subject yet :) I talk more about it in this thread, though: https://t.co/gC8PGMAfoE
While frequently vilified, it stands to reason that drug dealers (who can often simply be friends and friends of friends) do not wish to kill or harm the users of drugs. This speaks to a lack of knowledge, and so a gap which needs to be filled in available HR resources.
Before 25x were widely known, the rule of thumb was that any drug on a blotter was LSD. A harm reduction intervention aimed at the people *distributing* these drugs to dispell that belief could have had a large impact.

A clear example here is the spate of deaths and injuries caused by 25x drugs being sold as LSD a few years ago - particularly in the psychedelic scene, people buy from friends and the primary motivation is not profit.
