Our Thought Leadership Event explored, 'Is drug testing just for festivals'? (Spoiler alert: the answer is NO). Watch this engrossing + thought provoking conversation with Sione Harm Reduction Vic, @monicabarratt The Loop Australia + Annie Madden (PhD) AO Pill Testing Australia youtu.be/_lwP146q9ik

💫Excited to be drug checking as part of CheQpoint at Earth Frequency Festival 2024💫 EFF have long supported drug checking & harm reduction services, hosting ConsciousNest since 2018 and The Loop Australia since 2019. Fixed-site in Brisbane will still operate Fri 3rd May.

Pumped to be here with The Loop Australia !

We're back (of house testing) at Parklife today! Fantastic to have our chemistry & research teams at Parklife and to be working with everyone here. If you're at the festival, keep an eye out for information & updates from us, and say hello to our researchers out and about.

As we move further into festival season, remember: no drug use is safe, but if taking MDMA consider the size of your pill and follow harm reduction advice. Higher strength MDMA pills are in circulation at Parklife Festival 2024 compared to recent years.

New Loop campaign launches today! #SizeMatters High strength ecstasy pills are back, so harm reduction communications need to adapt. Read more in this new blog by Fiona Measham & Adam W of The Loop senior team for Drug Science. #TakeQuarterSipWater drugscience.org.uk/size-matters-h…

Elated to see some sense in Herald Sun courtesy of the brilliant @monicabarratt 👏 The perpetuation of harmful myths about evidence-based health interventions regresses us back to the status quo. Time, data and tragedy have proven the status quo is not enough.
