Hi from NY! Offering advice and free resources Hi all,
I'm a long-time lurker of drug forums now working for the Washington Heights CORNER Project in New York, NY, where I'm involved in drug education and online outreach. The CORNER Project is a community-based organization that mainly works with homeless folks who use drugs-- typically IV heroin-- to help improve their health and quality of life. We have an operating Syringe Exchange Program and offer free naloxone trainings, health services, support groups, care coordination, and peer education.
AskSasha is a persona that we've cooked up in order to expand our reach to the online community and offer drug use advice-- particularly in regard to heroin/opioids and cocaine-- and resources to anyone who needs them. I've been asked to act as "Sasha" since I am frankly obsessed with psychoactive substances. For some background, I received my BA in Neuroscience and Behavior, during which time I focused on drugs and human behavior. I've assisted teaching college classes, consulted for several local groups, published some pieces, and still work in two labs that deal with these topics. So to be fair, I've been very busy during my lurking days collecting as much data and information as I can on this subject, and hopefully I can now provide much more useful contributions than I would've otherwise. Heroin and cocaine are the major focuses of our organization, but honestly, I love to talk about all drugs. That being said, if anyone is in New York and wants free naloxone (opioid overdose antidote) and syringes delivered, please message me. Anonymity is assured.
We also want to hold online naloxone training sessions for anyone interested (likely Skype or FB live). These trainings will also focus on dosing and using when fentanyl is a likely possibility, as over 50% of the street samples we recently tested from our area were positive for the more potent opioid. Once again, please message me if you are interested in attending one of these trainings, and I will be more than happy to let you know when/ how we are planning to hold them.
[USERNAME] mod Having put out a call for developers I've been quoted 100USD to have someone in France to custom code a replacement for our favorite mod of all time for this new forum software. Is it worth it? What do you think?12
3-FEA (3-Fluoroethamphetamine) Recently sampled this. Active at 10-29mg but I found around 50-60mg a more adequate dose for me. Quite mild in action and sort of leaves you wantng more, slightly lacking in euphoria compared to most other stimulants I thought but I didn't have much material to work with and it could have been related to my ow mood when I tested it. Not the worst stimulant ever vut if you can get 3-FEA, chances are you can get 2-FA or 4-FA or something.

Drug decision-making PhD research survey – only takes 15 minutes to complete Hi,
My name is Lucy and I am a PhD student at the Public Health Institute at Liverpool John Moores University. I am currently looking for participants to complete my online questionnaire: ‘Understanding the importance of different factors associated with drug use decision-making’. The questionnaire includes a couple of demographic questions and questions relating to which features of drugs influence decisions to use. Additionally, the study will ask you to choose hypothetical products in order to establish the importance of drug attributes.
Participants must be aged between 18 and 35 and must have used any drug recreationally in the past five years to be eligible to take part in the study. The study is completely confidential, voluntary and anonymous. The questionnaire will only take 15 minutes and is easy to complete.
Full ethical approval has been approved from the LJMU research ethics committee.
To complete the survey please click the link below:

Your participation will be very much appreciated.

UK : East : Megaprocessor (computer built from discrete components) Remember the British dude who built a whole computer in his house from full size discrete components (the kind used for all electronics until around the 1970s)?
He completed the project in Summer 2016; it has now been transported to the computer museum in Cambridge UK..

Drugs What would happen to a person who took 2 bags of coke, 2 spliffs, 2 dreemon tablets and 2 bombs of slightly questionable (browny cystally like stuff) in one evening?
Here's how long various drugs stay in your body I came across a few interesting charts which some people might find good information. if goes to show how long drugs can linger in our blood, urine and hair
Have a question what would happen if I went to a college's party dressed as hitler, its not against the law(im assuming) but would i be punished or something. Also how about going to a convention(comic con or something) dressed as hitler. Oh and this is just for what would happen in the uk.

Help a struggling student: survey participants needed Morning all, sorry I haven't been round here much lately ! New and very busy but fulfilling job and relationship taking up most of the time :) Anyway ...
My beloved partner is on the final module of her psychology degree, and urgently needs participants who are willing to fill in a survey on "Attitudes towards a harm reduction response to drug use in the UK". The survey is anonymous and all questions are voluntary.
The purpose of the survey is not to reveal public opinion, but to allow the student to prove statistical analytical skills as part of her degree in developing a new scale of measurement on this topic. So she needs a few hundred participants to get reliable results.
The survey can be accessed at https://openss.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9LFg4fqOTNqQ3AN
I'm posting it here rather than in 'drugs' because it's not about personal drug use as such but aimed at anyone whatever their opinions and experiences. Mods please feel free to move the thread if you think it's better elsewhere.
Thankyou all :)
UK : Drugs testing at festivals to be approved For some reason I keep getting logged out when I try to put this in the Drugs Testing section; and as its quite an important development (as the Police are co-operating fully with the initiative) thought it worth posting here:

SE : Fish transport of Sweden (auf Deutsch) The young fish cannot get to the sea as there are too many human created structures (dams, drains etc) in the way. So the Swedish Environment Ministry help them on their journey. This attracts a lot of interested spectators; and the German TV news!
