☕ You'll get a stimulant effect from this one but no euphoria. If you've taken one of these MDM4 isn't MDM4ing like it should after an hour, you've got caffeine.

☕ We recommend you don't take more chasing the euphoria because it won't happen, and it increases your likelihood of overamping.

Hi freinds! We've updated our pill library with the finds from Feb. Notable entries are:

☕ Blue Tiktok: sold as MDM4, actually contains 2 standard doses caffeine.

New Zealand Arrestee Drug Use Monitoring (NZ-ADUM) report 2010-2015 The New Zealand Arrestee Drug Use Monitoring (NZ-ADUM) study monitors levels of alcohol and other drug use, and related criminal offending, among police detainees in Whangarei, Auckland,...

Revisiting Goldstein’s Drugs-Violence Nexus: Expanding the Framework for the Globalized Era - International Criminology In 1985, Goldstein developed a framework to capture the relationships between drugs and violence in the United States, laying a foundation for future research on drug-related violence. Since then, the...

While nearly half of New Zealand adults have tried an illicit drug, most have never committed a crime beyond possession.

Next week: how criminalising drugs creates crime by making possession an offence and pushing markets underground.

Researchers warn that this theory lacks evidence and confuses correlation with causation. The NZ-ADUM study reinforces the myth by focusing only on people already in police custody. These detainees often report that they take drugs, but this tells us little about the wider population.

3/n

The idea of a direct link stems from Goldstein’s 1980s Tripartite Framework, which claimed drugs cause crime through intoxication leading to violence, crimes committed to get money for drugs, and violence in illegal drug markets.

Hi Friends! It's Mythbuster Monday 🥳

This month, we’re tackling the myth that drug use causes crime. While drugs can play a role in some offending, they are rarely the root cause.

University of Canterbury and KnowYourStuffNZ team up to trial new drug checking technology A team of researchers and drug checkers are delighted to announce a new research project trialling an innovative method for testing the contents of illicit drug samples.

At the moment this is all for SCIENCE! But watch this space - we're always collaborating with other organisations to develop new methods and technology.

So if you're heading to Electric Ave you have the opportunity to (anonymously) be part of history just by getting your drugs checked 😘

Shallu made a clip about their research which we've linked here 😃

*Yes, we're nerds. But that's why you love us, right?

If it works like we hope it will it'll be able to tell us how much of the sample you give us is psychoactive ingredient. This means you can figure out your dose with a specific batch, and it's another bit of harm reduction advice we can give you to help keep you safer.

Friends, this is big news. At the moment our FTIRs can tell you what a sample has in it, but an NMR can tell us how much of what ingredients are in the sample and this is SUPER COOL*.

Hi friends! We've got some EPIC news!

Our friends Shallu Verma and Simon Winship from the University of Canterbury are going to trial their benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer on drug samples taken from Electric Avenue this weekend 😍

25 years ago Portugal decriminalised personal possession of ALL drugs. The sky didn't fall down. But decriminalisation never went go far enough. It left some very serious issues. 25yrs later it's time we legallly regulated all drugs.
