Kanada. Quebec May Create Festival Drug Testing Programme to Reduce Drug Harms
The government of the Canadian province of Quebec has authorised state-led research into the benefits of allowing people to test their drugs at festivals.
In early May, Quebec's health ministry declared that they had authorised the $100,000 study, which will be funded by Health Canada’s Program on Substance Use and Dependence, according to a report by Vice (in French). The study will investigate the potential outcomes of allowing people to have their drugs tested at nightlife venues, festivals, and LBGT+ venues. (Talking Drugs, UK, 11.05.2018)
