Australien. Testing festival goers’ pills isn’t the only way to reduce overdoses. Here’s what else works
The NSW (New South Walse, Anm.) inquest into recent drug deaths at music festivals is due to start this week. So focus is turning to how to make music festivals safer by reducing drug-related incidents.
We know that prohibition doesn’t work to reduce either harms or drug use. But what does? (The Conversation, Australien, 08.07.2019)

Niederlande. Factsheet on drug checking in the Netherlands
Is drug checking a valuable tool to reduce the harm of drug use? In many countries this is still an ongoing debate, one often hampered by lack of empirical evidence and practical experience. In the Netherlands, government-licensed drug checking has occured for over the past two decades and has grown from a small scale project into a nationwide scientific monitor.

Niederlande. How the World’s Oldest Drug Checking Service Makes High-Risk Pills “Unsellable”
Don’t sit on your day job,” Daan van der Gouwe advised people who operate drug checking services. By which he meant, getting information out there greatly amplifies the public health benefit of what you’re doing.
The Drugs Monitoring and Information System (DIMS) in the Netherlands can proudly claim to be the oldest drug checking service in the world. It began unauthorized operations back in 1989, a time when use of “club drugs” was increasing in the country, and was formalized in 1992. (Filter, USA, 01.05.2019)

GHB. Xantus-drinkcheck-Armband
Warum ein Armband? Wir haben uns aus drei Gründen für ein Armband entschieden:
Präventiver Schutz: Allein durch das Tragen schützt man sich präventiv, da Täter im Vorfeld abgeschreckt werden. Es wird signalisierst, dass man bewusst mit seiner Gesundheit umgeht und K.O. Tropfen keine Chance haben.
Partytauglichkeit: Kein Drankdenken, kein Vergessen, keine Handtasche mehr
Erinnerungs-Funktion: Jeder kennt es: Die Eltern sagen, dass man immer aufpassen soll. Auf der Party ist das schnell mal vergessen. Ein kurzer Blick auf´s Handgelenk genügt und man erinnert sich daran, achtsam zu sein.
Wie funktioniert das Armband?

Australien. Six reasons Australia should pilot ‘pill testing’ party drugs
The death of 19-year-old Georgina Bartter at a music festival on the weekend from a suspected ecstasy overdose could possibly have been avoided with a simple harm-minimisation intervention. Pill testing, or drug checking as it’s known in Europe, provides feedback to users on the content of illegal drugs, allowing them to make informed choices.

Five deaths at music festivals in less than five months. And, if I listen to some critics, the one thing stopping pill testing is that it is seen as people like me giving the green light to drug use.
