Ein neuer Scanner von der Uni Bath, kann innerhalb kurzer Zeit und auch bei geringer Konzentration gefährliche Drogen erkennen. Er ist schon beim Drug-Checking in Großbritannien im Einsatz Von Daily Good News.

„Rausch in einer Demokratie zu verbieten, ist Blödsinn!“, sagt der Anästhesist und Notfallmediziner Gernot Rücker. Statt den Konsum von Rauschmitteln wie Alkohol, Cannabis, MDMA und Co. zu verbieten, plädiert Rücker dafür, ihn sicherer zu machen. Eine Maßnahme, wie das laut Rücker möglich sei, wäre, flächendeckendes Drug-Checking einzuführen, damit Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten schnell und sicher erfahren, was in ihren Pillen in welchen Mengen enthalten ist. Personen, die ihre Drogen in solchen Einrichtungen untersuchen lassen, erhalten eine Risikobewertung der Substanz und können die Auswirkungen der Einnahme besser einschätzen und Überdosierungen so vermeiden. Der Schlüssel liegt für Rücker also in der Konsumkompetenz. Ein Thema, das auch Ex-Junkie Roman sehr am Herzen liegt. Mit Roman, Max und Nina spricht Gernot Rücker über seine Erfahrungen als „Drug-Checker“ (in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wurden 2023 per Verordnung die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für Modellvorhaben zum Drug-Checking geschaffen) und warum er es für eine gute Idee hielt (und Spoiler: immer noch hält!), dass Drug-Checking auf Festivals einzuführen. Er berichtet über den aktuellen Forschungsstand zum Thema Konsum und Mortalität von Drogen und warum die Legalisierung von Substanzen wie Cannabis, MDMA und LSD aus seiner Sicht relativ unbedenklich wäre.

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Researcher and urbanist Guadalupe Granero Realini joined us to discuss the recent launch of the Global Observatory on Short-Term Rentals, an initiative led by a coalition of Latin American organisations working on housing and urban issues to track governance patterns, private sector pushes and activist action on short-term rentals and their impact on housing markets worldwide. Guadalupe works on territorial justice, and her research is currently focused on extractivist processes in Latin America which dispossess communities in cities as well as in rural and wild environments. Whenever she can, she teaches, collaborates with social organisations and participates in the media. She developed part of her research in Rio de Janeiro, as well as at Ryerson University and the University of Montreal as an ELAP fellow. In 2017 she published Territories of Inequality. Urban Policy and Spatial Justice (Territorios de la Desigualdad. Política Urbana y Justicia Espacial).// Sanmati Verma, Legal Director at Human Rights Law Centre, spoke about some recent updates in the legal landscape governing so-called Australia's carceral border regime, including in relation to the imposition of punitive visa conditions onto asylum seekers released from detention centres into the community, and the question of 'voluntary' cooperation with deportation orders. The former issue relates to the case of YBFZ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024], where last week the High Court determined by majority that the Albanese Government's imposition of curfew and ankle bracelet monitoring conditions are contrary to Chapter III of the Constitution and invalid - a decision that the Minister, Tony Burke, has immediately sought to overturn by introducing new legislation into Parliament. The latter issue of cooperation with deportation orders relates to whether indefinite detention was unlawful in circumstances where a person - in this case, an asylum seeker referred to by the pseudonym ASF17 - is not cooperating with their deportation because they fear harm in their home country. You can read HRLC's explainers on the cases of YBFZ here, ASF17 here, and NZYQ from November 2023 here.// We listen back to a conversation from last month between Wednesday Breakfast's Nita Okoko and artist Niki Koutouzi. Niki is an exhibiting artist at Incinerator Gallery's 2024 annual award show, ‘Art for Social Change'. This award provides recognition for artists addressing critical topics shaping our social-cultural worlds today, such as first nations justice, climate crisis, disability justice, queer histories and more. This year, Niki is one of 27 shortlisted artists showing alongside highly acclaimed artist and winner of this year's award, Sam Peterson. The exhibition is open until Saturday the 24th of November.// Chris Christoforou, CEO of VAADA, the peak body for Victoria's alcohol and other drug treatment services, joined us to talk about the long awaited news of Victoria's pill testing/drug checking trial, as well as the latest 2024 overdose statistics. Victoria's pill testing trial aims to reduce harm and save lives, and a mobile service will begin during this summer's music festival season, attending up to 10 festivals and events throughout the trial. A fixed site, due to open in mid-2025 will be co-located at a health service and operate from inner Melbourne, close to nightlife and transport.//

In dieser Episode von „Sucht und Ordnung“ sprechen wir mit Dr. Gernot Rücker, Anästhesist, Notfallmediziner und Suchtforscher, über das Thema Safer Use und Harm Reduction. Dr. Rücker gibt Einblicke in seine Forschungsarbeit an der mit Psychoaktiven Substanzen und seine Erfahrungen aus der Notfallmedizin insbesondere auf der Fusion.

In episode four of our Community-based Solutions for Substance Use Challenges season, Just Science sits down with Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, Pharmacoepidemiologist and Senior Scientist in the UNC Injury Prevention Research Center, and Erin Tracy, Research Chemist in the UNC injury Prevention Research Center, to discuss their unique approach to providing drug-checking services on a broad scale. To address and prevent overdose deaths, it is crucial that local public health and harm reduction groups can check what substances are being used in a community, so that they can make informed decisions about local services, policy, and education. The UNC Street Drug Analysis Lab has made these important drug checking services more widely accessible by developing mail-in drug checking kits, which allow organizations to collect their own samples to submit for lab analysis and provide anonymized results back. Listen along as Dr. Dasgupta and Erin discuss types of drug checking technology, navigating the legal and logistical challenges of mailing street drug samples, and the positive impact of their drug checking program. This Just Science season is supported, in part, by RTI Award No. 15PNIJ-21-GK-02192-MUMU, awarded by the National Institute of Justice, and by RTI Award No. 15PBJA-23-GK-02250-COAP, awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Both are agencies within the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

Bis Sommer 2023 erhielten Menschen, die in Berlin illegale Drogen auf dem Schwarzmarkt kaufen oder konsumieren wollten, keinerlei Information darüber, welche Wirkstoffe genau in den Drogen enthalten sind. Da es in der Herstellung auch kein "Reinheitsgebot" gibt, wie man es etwa bei der Produktion von alkoholischen Getränken kennt, war das Risiko, eine Substanz zu sich zu nehmen, die man gar nicht konsumieren wollte, immens hoch. Dennoch hielt dies viele Berliner*innen nicht davon ab, Drogen zu konsumieren. Als gesundheitspolitische Maßnahme soll Drug Checking nun das Risiko von illegalem Drogenkonsum minimieren. Wie funktioniert das Berliner Drug-Checking-Projekt genau und warum hat es 30 Jahre gedauert, bis Drug Checking in Berlin endlich möglich war?

Disclaimer: MDMA ist eine in Deutschland verbotene potenziell gefährliche Substanz. Der Selbstversuch ist im Ausland und unter ärztlicher Aufsicht durchgeführt worden. Die Reportage ist eine Betrachtung des therapeutischen Potenzials von MDMA und befürwortet nicht die Einnahme illegaler Drogen. Stay save! MDMA ist in vielen Städten vor allem als Feierdroge bekannt. Es soll die synthetische rosa Brille sein, die alles und jeden zu deinem Freund macht. Lange bevor MDMA und Ecstasy den Weg in die Clubs der Welt fanden, experimentierten Psycholog:innen mit der Substanz und prüften sie auf ihre therapeutische Wirksamkeit, mit erstaunlichen Ergebnissen. MDMA im therapeutischen Kontext erlebt eine Renaissance. In den USA und Australien steht es kurz vor der Zulassung in der Behandlung von PTSD und auch in Deutschland forschen Expert:innen daran, MDMA als Pfeil in der Traumatherapie in den Köcher zu bekommen. Trotzdem birgt die Substanz auch Gefahren... Ich spreche mit einigen der führenden Forscher:innen auf dem Gebiet und finde selbst heraus, welche Wirkung MDMA entfaltet und wie viel Potenzial darin steckt.

In Deutschland wird CSU-Chef Markus Söder ausgebuht, als er versucht, sich an die Spitze einer Antigrünendemo zu stellen. Wie kommt es, dass in beiden Ländern und auch in Österreich Klimapolitik zum Kulturkampf geworden ist? Außerdem bei "Servus. Grüezi. Hallo.": In Berlin experimentiert man nun mit Drug-Checking – etwas, was es in der Schweiz und Österreich schon lange gibt. Welche Erfahrungen hat man dort gemacht? Steigert der Service, seine Drogen vor Konsum kontrollieren lassen zu können, den Konsum?

Bill Handel talks about Title 42 and how it was set to expire today. While companies continue their battle to gain and maintain workers, they're combating the shortage by building houses for their employees. And Handel examines how drug checking is aiming to protect users from potentially harmful, disapproved modifications to medicine in a messy drug market.

In this episode of Addiction Audio, Nazlee Maghsoudi talks about her recent publication “Drug checking services for people who use drugs: a systematic review”. Nazlee discusses how drug checking services change behaviour, contribute to drug market monitoring and otherwise impact the risk associated with using substances. She talks about the three waves of drug checking services from the late 1960s to present day. Nazlee talks about the benefits of working with library sciences experts when setting the search parameters for her systematic review. She also talks about how important it is for physicians or GPs to know what substances people might have taken. “We know from the systematic review [people who use drug checking services] do make changes in their behaviour, they do take that information into account, and whether it's choosing to not use, choosing to use less, choosing to seek more information before they use, that gives them information to make more informed choices about the drugs they use.” Nazlee is the Manager of the Policy Impact Unit at the Centre on Drug Policy Evaluation in Toronto, and a PhD Candidate in Health Services Research at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation within the University of Toronto.Original research article: Drug checking services for people who use drugs: a systematic review By Nazlee Maghsoudi and colleagues.
