Thank you Dr Kerry Chant and the NSW Government for supporting pill testing and saving lives.

The second Qld death linked to a novel #nitazene highlights the growing dangers of unknown substances in the illicit drug supply. With these potent synthetic opioids emerging, it’s time to reconsider #PillTesting and other harm reduction measures to help save lives.

When morality beats science It was Easter 2024 when Queensland introduced its first festival drug-testing accompanied by the opening of two fixed-address drug testing units located in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The #LyingNastyParty #LNP are again at their very worst in #qld, now completely blocking parliamentary debate on the insane #PillTesting ban. Just stupid scum who know better than the medical experts. Remind you of someone, aka #DonnieDuck ?? #QldPol

"Ummm... I might have...?" I answered, racking my brain for some bikie related mishap that I might have involved in. We don't see much Motorcycle gang related violence here in Canberra, but they're around.
Maybe it was some drug-related beef, from a gangster that hates #pilltesting? They do.

The OGs of #pilltesting in Australia, @pilltestingaus provides a cost efficient, face-to-face service, based on years of experience.
This is what we were able to provide, in mere <hours> of keeping patrons safe in Wildlands.

And, I suppose predictably, the #NSWGovernment has already ruled out #decriminlisation ! This despite the overwhelming evidence and recommendations of experts. Any chance of any significant action at all Premier Chris Minns? #PillTesting #SafeInjectingRooms #DrugDiversionPrograms

I never knew this until I saw a comment about the NT and someone commented underneath that NSW does it too. I was aware of the strip searching of young people at Festivals. Thank you for your work on this. 🙏🏻 #RaiseTheAge #PillTesting

What are quaaludes? Should you be worried they’ve been detected in Canberra? ANU chemists detected recreational sedatives - quaaludes - circulating in Canberra for the first time. The drug is a throwback to the 1970s.

Plus ça change...
We just found something both old, & new.
