Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by ed on Mar 19, 2018 21:41:34 GMT 1, Hi forum,
I'm looking for a bit of advice / thoughts on the possibility of trying to do a bit of fundraising. Bear with me!
There's a charity called The Loop (https://wearetheloop.org/) that is pioneering on-site drug testing in clubs and festivals in the UK...something that is relatively normal in some other countries.
At a growing number of festivals, and sometimes onsite in a club, you can deposit a sample of the drugs you have, have it analysed and be given an indication of the contents and strength. This enables trained volunteers to then give advice on safer use or whether you've bought junk that perhaps shouldn't be taken.
I was at Boomtown a few years in a row where there was at least one drug death each year. As far as I'm aware, there have been no drug related deaths at festivals The Loop has attended and lower numbers of people needing to seek medical attention generally.
The Loop rely on charitable donations to operate so any money raised would be of great benefit. There is also a desire to upgrade their testing facilities/equipment to provide a more accurate picture of what's being analysed.
It got me thinking about trying to tap up some artists to donate works to be auctioned off and proceeds going to The Loop.
I have a few questions:
Has anyone got experience of doing something similar? Advice would be welcomed. Is this a nice thing to think about but not likely to work? What's the best way to approach artists to try and snag a free artwork? I know it's peoples living and, and although it's for a (imo) good cause, donating don't pay the bills of an artist. If it does seem to be a goer, what help can forum members give me with contacts you may have?
Phew, maybe my longest post ever on here, thanks for reading to the end.
Hit me up with your thoughts! ed

Personal views Gives a false sense of security to young people that their drugs is ok , each person reacts differently to drugs , They might get a batch of one person have it tested and continue of the same person and the quality may differ then have a bad reaction. It also may entice people in the group to try for the first time when on a night out , with all the extra stimulation around not a good idea . Class a drugs are restricted for a reason. These are recreational use not for addicts so think it is a bad move . All these bath salts when first came out were legal and gave a false sense of security to people that may not have tried these drugs to what is known now . Stick to red bull until that is banned 🤫

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by ed on Mar 20, 2018 0:05:22 GMT 1, tab1, your view is a very common one, perhaps the norm and it's very true that everyone reacts differently to substances.
Knowledge and certainly of content tends to have a positive impact although this can never stop harm, only reduce the likelihood of it.
Everything is dangerous
However with alot of products we definitely know the content and can accurately determine a lethal dose. That doesn't stop people dying from alcohol poisoning but seems to be an accepted risk which I hope we can extend to drugs that happen to be illegal.
Re 'bath salts' as was often put on packs of things like mephedrone when it was legal to protect the seller. It was an odd thing to do but shouldn't be read into that people were intentionally consuming bath salts. In fact, mephedrone could be seen to of reduced drug deaths www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markeaston/2010/11/will_the_mephedrone_ban_cause.html
And stick to your red bull by all means, but also be aware that its use has been attributed to deaths:

What I meant is that it’ is known the majority reacts differently to any substance consumed , what one might feel safe or is in a safe limit to the average person might be deadly to another .
Jest with the red bull comment as highlights a prime example of consumption of a substance has different effects to each person, many people have died from presumed over consumption of red bull and hence the small bottles of rebull that were once sold , the size of a pill bottle is now banned . 😟 A few of those helped me drive from London to scotland🤩🤫

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by tab1 on Mar 20, 2018 2:13:44 GMT 1, sorry to me tab just says acid, my bad....you have a point but I think at certain times/places you have to be pragmatic and 'just say no' is only going to antagonise ..while testing may well save a life or at least save someone from a nasty time.
🙄I’ll change profile name to microdot can’t be associated with that milarky😮🧐😉

Maybe you find out your pills have a crazy amount of mdma in so you take smaller amounts ?

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by iamzero on Mar 20, 2018 13:56:04 GMT 1, Is there a danger that the drugs get tested and pass whatever safe limits are in place, the user takes them and something bad happens leaving the tester open to all kinds of litigation? People are too quick to blame others rather than their own stupidity these days.

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by NYart on Mar 20, 2018 13:58:41 GMT 1, Obviously all drugs are potentially dangerous. However the real danger is when you don’t know what your taking. Short from complications with underlying health issues, drugs shouldn’t kill you if taken in a proper dosage. If you don’t know what your taking you can’t get the dose right. That’s why so many people are dying from heroin laced with fentanyl. Both are opiates, both give the users what they’re looking for, but the amount of heroin a user would take, the equivalent weight in fentanyl would kill a horse. If they had the knowledge before hand, would they still take the drugs? Most likely. But they could do it without dying at least. Especially for the events talked about here, festivals and shows, the majority are recreational users, there’s no reason they should die because they don’t have information that’s easy enough to find out.

I’d imagine no would would say “this is safe” or give any further recommendations just what the test results show and then they can make an informed decision from there.

Thanks for your engagement with this, it's interesting to note that about 1 in 5 people who use the testing service then choose to dispose of those drugs after they find out what's actually in it - basically because someone has sold them junk /a very risky substitute. I guess this is why drug related deaths and harm have reduced at each place The Loop visit.

At the moment the equipment they have isn't able to be totally accurate - so advice is given as an indication. Part of their fundraising is to be able to buy a much better machine that can give a thorough breakdown of each ingredient.
Its struggled to happen in the UK for lots of legal reasons, previously the act of passing a sample of the drug from festival goer to evaluator and back again would open both parties to prosecution for dealing. Ways have been found around these kinda problems

People will take drugs whether they are illegal or not, and whether they are advised not to, or not. Anything that can make them doing so safer is a good thing, imo.

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by Carl Cashman on Mar 20, 2018 14:23:39 GMT 1,
Dive Jedi Carl CashmanThanks for your engagement with this, it's interesting to note that about 1 in 5 people who use the testing service then choose to dispose of those drugs after they find out what's actually in it - basically because someone has sold them junk /a very risky substitute. I guess this is why drug related deaths and harm have reduced at each place The Loop visit.
Well I think its a great idea and would happily donate some art if you ever need any.

Thanks Carl, that's very generous. I'd imagine this is gonna be a slow burner but I'll defo contact you if/when it gains momentum!

Anything that can make them doing so safer is a good thing, imo. Spot on

DON'T DO DRUGS !!!
Do you drink or smoke ? No, Carl. I don't.
Or does that 1 beer a month make me a hypocrite now?
