#harmreduction — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116563149543761929

Have todays youth not heard of Erowid, Bluelight etc?

These are at least more reliable, although I once helped run a #drugs #harmreduction #outreach Internet forum during the 90s/00s and there were still a lot of people who ignored any advice which was "bad news" and/or simply wanted to feed addictions and problematic usage patterns (which lead to a lot of these sites being blocked on "family filter" Internet connections which became increasingly popular in homes by the late 2000s)

I forgot another stipulation: must be able to drive up to 60 or 70 mph, for the option of motorways.
IDGAF about acceleration rate, just top speed.

the attitude #Trump administration has to #drugs makes 0 sense - one moment they are pardoning dealers, the next making #harmreduction more difficult - *unless* there's a deliberate attempt (maybe not even from Trump or RFK, but someone more clued up) to "give folk enough rope to hang themselves" or even allow the use of #fentanyl and other nasties like #xylazines to cull out "undesirables"..

«Decriminalise Our Lives!»

International Women's Day: Shared Vision for Feminism.

Statement by ESWA, EuroNPUD, S.A.F.E. and Equinox Initiative.

[I cannot agree more with it. ❤️‍🔥😍 💯]

-

‣ Criminalisation should NEVER be the first response to social and healthcare issues!

3 years ago, the 8 March Principles were launched - to provide a new model on how we see justice.

This International Women's Day, we're calling for care over carceralism, on issues including sex work, abortion, harm reduction, racial justice and poverty.

We advocate for a feminism that is rights-based, not punitive.

-

‣ Rights not rescue: sex work is work!

Criminalisation, including the criminalisation of clients, is a massive driver of violence against sex workers.

It drives sex work underground, into more danger and stigma, creates barriers to healthcare, housing, and justice.

The 8 March Principles emphasise that consensual sexual activity between adults should never be a matter for the criminal legal system.

Decriminalisation of sex work prioritises the safety, human and labour rights of sex workers.

-

‣ Criminalisation has never stopped abortions from happening. It only makes them less safe.

Under the 8 March Principles, reproductive and bodily autonomy are recognised as fundamental human rights.

We demand the removal of all punitive barriers to healthcare. When we treat abortion as a crime, we violate the right to health, privacy, and bodily autonomy. It is time for a legal system that trusts individuals to make decisions about their own bodies without the threat of a prison cell.

-

‣ Support, don't punish! Harm reduction saves lives. Criminalisation destroys them.

The “War on Drugs” is a war on all humans. In practice, it disproportionately impacts women, caregivers and communities already marginalised.

The 8 March Principles advocate for a shift from criminalisation to harm reduction. Drug use is a public health issue, not a criminal one. By redirecting resources from policing to community-supported healthcare and safe consumption services, we can transform our societies for the better.

Lived experience is knowledge.

-

‣ Carceralism vs. Racial Justice.

The legal system isn't “neutral”.
It disproportionately targets and penalises Black, Brown and racialised communities.

The 8 March Principles remind us that justice cannot be achieved through a system built on systemic bias. We must dismantle the structures of over-policing and invest in safety measures that are led by and for the communities most affected by state violence.

Anti-carceral feminism is essential to realising racial justice.

-

‣ The Shared Vision - Our Demands:

• Decriminalise abortion, sex work, drug use, and activities associated with poverty.

• Redirect resources from the carceral state to community-led safety, health, and housing.

• Adopt the 8 March Principles globally to ensure that human rights, not moral policing, guide our legal systems.

• Center lived experience as expertise: policies are stronger when shaped by the people most affected. Amplify community voices, recognise peer support, and treat people with dignity and autonomy.

-

‣ Poverty is not a crime!

In many places, being poor or homeless is effectively treated as a criminal offense.
Laws targeting activities like loitering or sleeping in public punish people for simply existing.

The 8 March Principles state that the criminal law should never be used to address social and economic exclusion.
We cannot jail our way out of poverty, and should never criminalise the means by which the poorest survive.

Resources belong in housing and healthcare, not policing and prisons.

-

A safer world is possible when we stop using the law to punish and start using it to protect.

When we remove the threat of criminalisation, we create space for autonomy, safety, and dignity for all.
It also makes space for well-being and pleasure: safer choices, informed decisions, and self-determination.

‣ LET'S BUILD A FEMINISM THAT LIBERATES EVERYONE, SPECIALLY THE MOST MARGINALISED.

The 8 March Principles emphasise that consensual sexual activity between adults should never be a matter for the criminal legal system.

Decriminalisation of sex work prioritises the safety, human and labour rights of sex workers.

-

‣ Criminalisation has never stopped abortions from happening. It only makes them less safe.

Under the 8 March Principles, reproductive and bodily autonomy are recognised as fundamental human rights.

We demand the removal of all punitive barriers to healthcare. When we treat abortion as a crime, we violate the right to health, privacy, and bodily autonomy. It is time for a legal system that trusts individuals to make decisions about their own bodies without the threat of a prison cell.

-

‣ Support, don't punish! Harm reduction saves lives. Criminalisation destroys them.

The “War on Drugs” is a war on all humans. In practice, it disproportionately impacts women, caregivers and communities already marginalised.

The 8 March Principles advocate for a shift from criminalisation to harm reduction. Drug use is a public health issue, not a criminal one. By redirecting resources from policing to community-supported healthcare and safe consumption services, we can transform our societies for the better.

Lived experience is knowledge.

-

‣ Carceralism vs. Racial Justice.

The legal system isn't “neutral”.
It disproportionately targets and penalises Black, Brown and racialised communities.

The 8 March Principles remind us that justice cannot be achieved through a system built on systemic bias. We must dismantle the structures of over-policing and invest in safety measures that are led by and for the communities most affected by state violence.

Anti-carceral feminism is essential to realising racial justice.

-

‣ The Shared Vision - Our Demands:

• Decriminalise abortion, sex work, drug use, and activities associated with poverty.

• Redirect resources from the carceral state to community-led safety, health, and housing.

• Adopt the 8 March Principles globally to ensure that human rights, not moral policing, guide our legal systems.

• Center lived experience as expertise: policies are stronger when shaped by the people most affected. Amplify community voices, recognise peer support, and treat people with dignity and autonomy.

-

‣ Poverty is not a crime!

In many places, being poor or homeless is effectively treated as a criminal offense.
Laws targeting activities like loitering or sleeping in public punish people for simply existing.

The 8 March Principles state that the criminal law should never be used to address social and economic exclusion.
We cannot jail our way out of poverty, and should never criminalise the means by which the poorest survive.

Resources belong in housing and healthcare, not policing and prisons.

A safer world is possible when we stop using the law to punish and start using it to protect.

When we remove the threat of criminalisation, we create space for autonomy, safety, and dignity for all.
It also makes space for well-being and pleasure: safer choices, informed decisions, and self-determination.

«Decriminalise Our Lives!»

International Women's Day: Shared Vision for Feminism.

Statement by ESWA, EuroNPUD, S.A.F.E. and Equinox Initiative.

[I cannot agree more with it. ❤️‍🔥😍 💯]

-

‣ Criminalisation should NEVER be the first response to social and healthcare issues!

3 years ago, the 8 March Principles were launched - to provide a new model on how we see justice.

This International Women's Day, we're calling for care over carceralism, on issues including sex work, abortion, harm reduction, racial justice and poverty.

We advocate for a feminism that is rights-based, not punitive.

-

‣ Rights not rescue: sex work is work!

Criminalisation, including the criminalisation of clients, is a massive driver of violence against sex workers.

It drives sex work underground, into more danger and stigma, creates barriers to healthcare, housing, and justice.

Cold vs Hot Start Dabs — Quick Breakdown

• Cold Start: lower temps, preserved terpenes, smoother inhale.
• Hot Start: higher temps, instant vapor, stronger effects.

Both have their purpose, your preference decides the experience.

As we begin to lose sight of Trudeau in the rearview mirror, his legacy is beginning to take shape. Drug liberalization and senate reform seem to be his biggest accomplishments. The senate in particular is no longer a rubber stamp, thanks to Trudeau.

We can also thank him for the proliferation of safe consumption sites and the rapid progress we've seen in harm reduction. In fact, overdose deaths are finally beginning to drop.

A warning if you do take #drugs not to take so much to go "up" and then *more* to come down (so you can sleep and deal with other responsibilities) and beware of interactions between #partydrugs and prescribed #medications - he's not the only early middle aged man to die in this fashion, but as he was famous gets a bit more publicity and his inquest reported in the Press, a lot of the time there's so many fatal ODs to pick from going through HM Coroner they don't even bother to publicise every case..

When I was on birbsite Fiona Measham of the Loop also warned me about the phenomenon of middle aged men keeling over after a weekend binge (often its because they have cleaned up their lives a bit and lost their previous tolerance)

What's going on in the formerly-known-as 'liberal bastion', '#GayMecca?

Like many, in recent years, esp. #queer people, I wanted to give a two-finger salute to where I live & move elsewhere

Found out wherever you want to go someone frm there tells you they're looking to move to where you live. There r good reasons marginalised people want to say 'FUCK YOU' to where they live, but there's really nowhere to go

When you talk IRL to people from places you've considered, they remind you that if the place they came from was so great, why are they talking to you in your hometown?

One of those towns that's no longer a Gay Mecca nor progressive, according to tourists, my parents' ex-pat friends, etc, is #SanFrancisco

I've learnt a bit about the old place, which is increasingly becoming a rightwing billionaire city

Mayor Lurie, a rightwing #billionaire from the #Levi'sStrauss family, is anti-poor, anti-homeless. He & leopard-food #MattDorsey (gay rightwing former cop 🐷 & drug addict who hates ProPalestinian protesters & cosplays as a politician, parachuted into Town Hall by pseudo-lib exMayor Breed) diss '#HarmReduction for addicts in favour of 'AbstinenceOnly'

#DanLurie is also has support from the #BrionesSociety (a rightwing orgn).

Congrats people under 30 ! It appears you are breaking the inherited dependency on nasty alcohol consumption.

Wow! We just cannot express how grateful we are to everybody at @lucyparsonscent for organizing #LiberationSoup. This was an incredibly well-organized pamphlet and event that not only got a bunch of amazing orgs in one room, but also allowed us to connect with so many great folks in our community to talk about the state of houselessness in Boston since Wu’s vicious attack on Atkinson St. It was also incredible to see past Warm Up volunteers leading new groups in this area! If you reached out to us, we have a whole bunch of messages and we will be getting back to you all as soon as possible. #WarmUpBoston #LiberationSoup #Cambridge #CommunityDefense #HarmReduction #Indigeneity #ClimateJustice #Abolition #TenetUnions #AntiWar #ImmigrationJustice #MutualAid #OrganizedLabor #BlackLiberation #QueerPower #TransPower #DisabilityJustice #Activism #BostonActivism
