Neuseeland. Festival drug-checking services get a boost 

The Government is financially supporting drug-checking services to help keep young people safe at this summer’s large festivals and events, Health Minister Andrew Little says.

“This is not about condoning drug use, but about keeping people safe,” Andrew Little said.

“There is clear evidence that having drug-checking services at festivals changes behaviour and reduces harm.” (beehive.govt.nz, Neuseeland, 23.10.2021)
