Hi-Q is a new anecdotal drvg warning system which collects and shares community insights with QuIVAA & Hi-Ground, regarding overdose, unusual, unexpectedly strong, or adulterated samples in Queensland.

Anecdotal data, or experiential reports from people who use drvgs (PWUD) and service providers, plays a crucial role in keeping our communities safer.

Hi-Q has been designed by PWUD for PWUD. If you work for a health service get in touch we can provide you with a poster to display in your NSP or waiting rooms. We also have some cool promotional stickers too!

For more information or want to join our community mailing list email [email protected]
You can also access Hi-Q via the Hi-Ground website in our bio 💖

Anyone else getting bombarded with party recovery supplements?!? We thought it was timely to remind folks of some of the positives and negatives, things to watch out for, so you and your mates can stay safe!

Common post-party (or post-rave/festival) supplements are designed to aid in recovery, replenish nutrients, and support the body’s return to balance after prolonged activity, stress, or substance use.

They often focus on neuroprotection, serotonin restoration, muscle relaxation, and immune support.

Remember to avoid taking 5-HTP if you’re on SSRIs or taking it too close to when you are also taking MD. Make sure to deep dive into the ingredients of any premade party recovery supplements so you know exactly when and what you’re taking to avoid any negative outcomes like serotonin syndrome!! There isn’t much info on many of the websites of these companies so be sure to do your own, or read our post for more info!!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe weekend 🥳
