The cards are from DanceSafe , a U.S. based harm-reduction organization with chapters in Calgary and Vancouver. They are also being distributed by other harm-reduction groups such as the Toronto Raver Information Project. The cards feature the name of the drug on the front and detailed information on the back about effects and side effects. Rather, we attempt to reduce drug-related harm by providing health and safety information to those who use. No drug use is completely safe.
All drugs contain inherent risks.
The people we wanted to target are already using those drugs. We wanted to make it culturally relevant to those in subcultures using those drugs. Drug education has a history of magnifying the negative. There's an idea that if it scares all the kids they won't use the drugs. But fear-based education doesn't work.
