Since 2019 there has been a project to test and analyze any submitted street drug using the FTIR Spectrometer. Now that more than 60,000 samples have been analyzed we will be sharing a detailed subset of this data known as "the heroine bible project" that documents more than 50 of these samples in detail.
While it's fascinating to see the raw data and analyze the trends over time, we will also look at the impact of addictions for everyone that is touch by it in some way. You will leave with a better understanding about addiction to hard drugs and how it impacts everyone's lives, you'll learn the stigmas around drug use and terms like safe supply, harm reduction and poison vs overdose. You will walk away with the tools and techniques to save lives in the case of an overdose as this workshop provides life-saving antidote and training.
Addiction to hard drugs may be more common than you thought, but they are not always visible. We will also spend a few minutes on topics related to alcohol, amphetamines and tips to ensure hacker-summer-camp continues to be a safe and enjoyable experience for everybody.
This workshop includes hands-on training and your very own naloxone kit to take home. No pre-requisites are required.
This session can be delivered in either 50-minute lecture style or 90-minute workshop as there is a "hands-on" component where participants will be trained in using both the Fentanyl test strips and the Naloxone kits that will be provided to everyone to keep and take home for use anytime in the future to help save a life.
