Was a pleasure attending #NADA2021 last week, congratulations and thanks to the organisers.

This is the poster I worked on with @DanceWize_NSW exploring our program, our perspective as a peer organisation and how we continued to connect with our community without festivals.

@CAHMA__ Thank you for sharing! Very interesting report, particularly regarding dosing/duration. Have samples been observed from different sources or currently just one batch/source?

[Tim Powell @TimJPowell]

@CAHMA__ Are there any anecdotal reports on the subjective effects?

Is calling it "Canberra ketamine" enough to distinguish it from standard ketamine? There's already not much understanding of racemic ketamine/isomers, might be interpreted as just another type of ketamine.

The NSW Government has refused to decriminalise low-level use of illicit drugs as recommended by the ice inquiry which handed down its findings more than two years ago. It has accepted 86 and noted 14 of the 109 recommendations

BREAKING - The NSW Government response to the #IceInquiry will be announced at 1230pm.

Dan Howard SC outlines the lessons from the NSW Special Commission of Inquiry into the drug Ice and the critical importance of #decriminalisation of simple drug use and possession to reduce drug related health & social harms

@ACTINOSProject Fantastic work, glad to see a range of substances coming through.

Anything else found in the 6 MDMA samples that didn't contain MDMA outside of caffeine/2CB?

[Tim Powell @TimJPowell]

@AlmG Why would you do this.

Students for Sensible Drug Policy Australia are looking to expand our growing organisation and are currently seeking two Board Directors and a Company Secretary. Details in comments.

Quiet win for AOD in the budget - $19.6m to expand the Take Home Naloxone program nationally over the next 4 years. A least 3 overdoses reversed every day under the Pilot.

I get that it's Covid Year 3 and we're sick of hearing about it, but it's wreaking quiet havoc for so many people. Whole households are in iso because schools are superspreader sites. Many of my students have it. Yet only public health nerds are still looking at the stats

@KetanJ0 Tripview for trains, anything else I use Citymapper, does better for multiple modes of transport

Thanks Albo 🙃

Drug reform opponents refusing to ever elaborate whilst insisting there's no evidence in support of reform never gets old.

Thanks Albo 🙃
