Tonight we’re going back to where it all began - at The Warehouse Project in #Manchester.

We’ll be testing substances that have been confiscated, surrendered or found & if we find anything concerning or unusual, we’ll share alerts on socials.

Drug consumption facilities: they’ve been around since 1986 and now Scotland has one – but do they work? The Thistle drug room in Glasgow could help fill some important gaps in knowledge about the benefits of these facilities.

If the aim is to reduce drug-related overdose, then people need to know what is in their drugs *before* consumption, not afterwards.
Glasgow is planning a #drugchecking service nearby & that combined service can make a real difference.

No mention of the associated #drugchecking service.
If we are serious about reducing drug-related harm, *everyone* needs to know what is in circulation in the local drug market - adulterants, contaminants, fluctuating purity - to avert overdose & poisoning *before* consumption.
