Excited to see our piece "Understanding the moral panic about Safer Supply" out, led by @liam_michaud. Given the continued sensationalist & inaccurate reporting on safer supply in opinion columns & from some politicians, examining misinformation on safer supply is important. A đź§µ

Catch us #drugchecking this weekend at Phillip's TILT! Every summer - we have the wonderful opportunity to provide festival drug checking to support harm reduction. Drug checking has strong roots in the festival and rave communities and we're stoked to continue this work.

Horrific. This will only lead to more death. There is absolutely no need to close these sites. They are working to save lives. The rest of the system needs an overhaul

We use this chart for reference when reporting out on #drugchecking results in #yyj and on Vancouver Island. There is value in aggregate data and it helps inform harm reduction practices by identifying potency relative to what we are seeing in the supply.

Both cannabis dispensary locations are open today! However we may be forced to close Get Your Drugs Tested for a while, due to financial problems from the raids.
