16% of people who accessed the service disposed of their drugs after consulting with the service’s health professionals. An additional 23% said they would reduce their drug dosage following their consultation. The full report is available here: quihn.org/wp-content/upl…

An overview of findings from our first four months of operating a drug checking service in Queensland is now available. 219 people accessed pill testing services in four months of CheQpoint's operation in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 392 drug samples were tested.

Otherwise, start with a small dose & wait to see effects. If you’re expecting methamphetamine but experiencing dissociation, disorientation, or unexpected perception distortions, they might be signs that there’s something else in there. Printable poster: quihn.org/wp-content/upl…

We found a novel dissociative (most likely 2F-NENDCK) in white powder expected to be methamphetamine. Novel dissociatives like 2F-NENDCK can hit very very quick and strong when injected, which could put you straight into an intense k-hole.

Bumpin’ that? 🍏🍏 We found phenacetin in white powder expected to be cocaine. Phenacetin is one of the more common adulterants added to cocaine, but can cause a range of health problems. More info: quihn.org/wp-content/upl…

Elated to see some sense in @theheraldsun 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.

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.

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.
