Harm reduction around the use of recreational drugs has always been a controversial topic to discuss. This week on Well Well Well we look at the facts, the health benefits and the reduced harms associated with drug harm reduction, in particular, pill testing. Dr. Matthew Dunn, a drug and alcohol researcher who focuses largely on substance use and harm joins us today to share his valuable insight. We explore policies, attitudes, misconceptions and behaviour of substance use in Australia. We also look at the evidence supporting the benefits of pill testing and the barriers we face moving forward. Kate Pern who leads a joint project between Thorne Harbour and STAR Health called the PARTI (peer-advocacy response training initiative) Project then joins us to chat about working directly with venues. The PARTI Project educates party-goers and their peers on the substances they may be using and how to reduce harms so they can make informed decisions about their partying behaviour. The PARTI Project also provides free training for venue staff as well as security guards on how to best keep people safe in their venues - focusing on how to recognise and respond to different drug-related harms or sexual assault. We also discuss some practical tips around partying safe and poly drug-use to take away from this podcast.

This episode was produced as part of 3CR's Day of Disability discussions.The episode is dedicated to one of my (Nick Wallis)'s best friends Max Luca-Reddaway. When I first started doing the show at 3CR, he was still around but in hospital most of the time. I never expected him to be gone, but suspect deep down I knew what was happening and didn't want to acknwoledge it. I wanted to get him to listen to my show. We were like brothers to eachother and had an intimate, caring relationship.At the start of this episode, I chat with Max's mother, Gabi about some of the things we got up to and how severe disability can sometimes distract from genuine relationships.Liz Wright and Kate Pern then join the program to discuss chronic fatigue and the incessant and uneccesary harassment by security, among a variety of other problems associated with disabled access to venues.
