Harm Reduction

A study found that a VICE headline about fake MDMA encouraged people to test their drugs.

Facebook appears to be blocking people who warn users about poisonous batches of drugs or who supply materials used to test for fentanyl.

Money from the first big opioid addiction settlement is being spent in the wrong places.

Hint: Harm reduction works.

Since people can already order fentanyl and other harmful drugs via the darknet, NEXT wants to make obtaining items that reduce harm just as easy to get.

Drug checking is part of a harm-reduction approach that emphasizes reducing the negative impact of drug use rather than telling people not to use them—which usually doesn’t work.

The Brookings Institution claimed that syringe exchange programs and overdose-reversing drugs will make the addiction crisis worse—ignoring decades of public health data. With record opioid overdose deaths, getting these recommendations right matters.

One $5 or $10 fatal dose could become dozens or even hundreds of nonfatal highs.

Bigg brought the opioid antidote naloxone to the streets. But today’s poisoned drug supply makes saving lives harder than ever.

It’s not just because I’m tired of being a bloodsucking ghoul. In 2018, blow isn’t what it used to be.

There were no harm reduction measures available to me when I was in active heroin addiction. If there had been, I might have a different health outcome than I do today.
