N-PP is the same creature that hit Ireland in late 2023.
>50 patients in 5d in Dublin, >20 in Cork in 6d.
25x more potent than fentanyl, it’s not even the most potent of the nitazenes.
This is a <dangerous> class of drugs, and should be avoided.
Fantastic effort by our analysts,

The secret sauce of @pilltestingaus has always been the placement of those with ‘lived experience’ at the centre of our process.
We are a service, for the community, <with> the community.
Anything else is just lip service…
Contrary to some reporting doing the rounds today, the folks at @pilltestingaus and @CanTESTCBR can obviously identify products not previously characterised, and even add them to the libraries that colleagues are using around the world!

As @MessengerAndrew reports - Australia’s first multi-day festival pill testing clinic in Warwick found that many of the drugs sold as MDMDA proved to be other substances including one known as “Canberra ketamine”. Pill testing saves lives. #PillTesting theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Hey teens, did you know the best form of protest is no protest at all?
Take it from me, a fellow kid who's definitely not invested in preventing climate action on behalf of my Oil & Gas masters!

The @USEmbAustralia thinks we call a kangaroo a "Bouncy Mouse" and a toilet a "bogga bogga" and I think we should withdraw from the ANZUS treaty

Drug use happens in Australia, even with our heroes.
To pretend it doesn’t, or that it doesn’t cross all of society, is the magical thinking of the 1980s.
The best we can hope for is to keep people safe, and to discourage that which is not.
And that’s what we are here to do.
“I’ve spoken to the AFL this morning, the league don’t deny this happens and in fact they admit that it does happen.”

Government and universities have shared goals of evidence-based policies to promote wellbeing. Academia is best-placed to provide evidence to inform and shape the work of the public service. themandarin.com.au/242611-co…

1 of every 2 people who lost their life by execution in 2023 lost their lives in the name of drug control.
HRI's @MJofreEscobar delivers a powerful statement at #CND67 calling on states and UN agencies to divest from this unjust response to drugs. hri.global/publications/advo…
If the goal for prohibition is public health, how can this result in death penalty’s? Check this fabulous speech from harm reduction international at #CND67. #harmreduction #drugspolicy #deathpenalty #warondrugs
