Last week we had the privilege of hosting a Harm Reduction Panel at The Love Inn! 🎉

👉 We spoke about all things harm reduction, nightlife, safety, and policy.

👉 Being able to share harm reduction information and open the conversation up to the public is an opportunity we don't take for granted. It will always be a pleasure to be able to exchange information, have open-minded discussions and put words into action.

🙏 Thanks to The Love Inn for hosting and to all the attendees, we had a blast!

🎉 And of course thank you to our panellists, Lizzie, Shayla, Adam and Becky!

Do you know what cocaethylene is? Let's talk about it!

🧬 Cocaethylene is a psychoactive metabolite produced when co***ne and alcohol are taken together.

🍺❄️ While alcohol and co***ne are frequently used together, cocaethylene is considered to be more strenuous to the heart than either drug alone.

🧠 If you plan on using alcohol and co***ne at the same time, be aware of how the two drugs interact.
