ACMD has written an updated harms assessment describing the use and harms of synthetic cathinones following a government commission.
The Loop has delivered our first year of regular city centre drug checking. We are planning, as we look ahead to 2025, to build upon and expand this valuable harm reduction intervention across the United Kingdom. Drug checking becomes ever more important as the UK drugs market changes and evolves.
