Thank you to Alison Bell @somersetccc.bsky.social for supporting #drugchecking. The more DPHs who support this, the quicker we can achieve universal access to drug checking services across the UK & the quicker we can tackle drug-related death rates.

Why does this matter?
Dosing MDMA crystal can be hard to judge by eye.
Crystals vary in size, shape and density, so crushing into a fine powder and dabbing can help with dosing.
If taking MDMA:
Avoid mixing MDMA with alcohol or other drugs.
Sip water regularly - around ½ pint / 250mL per hour.
Take regular breaks to cool down.
Ask for help if someone seems unwell.
Clear, practical harm reduction messaging is a public health intervention.
As festival season continues, The Loop is sharing its Crush. Dab. Wait. advice on MDMA crystal.
THREAD
Go Slow. Stay Low.
Crush the crystal into a fine powder.
Dab no higher than the first joint of the index finger - roughly a common adult dose.
Wait for the effects to hit before considering re-dosing. Full effects could take 2+ hours.
