Drugs Info Site

Our project Drugs Info Site is an activity aimed at reducing the risks associated with substance use. The project is organized in cooperation with the Department of Pharmacology at the Charles University 3rd Faculty of Medicine, the Forensic Laboratory of Biologically Active Substances at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague and select field workplaces within the framework of Czech harm-reduction programs. The project enables proactive sampling of substances distributed and used in the Czech Republic, which may help to detect particularly risky contents, allowing to dispense warnings to the participants and provide consultation on the issue. Sample collection and analysis are part of the “NPS info” project approved by the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic in 2020, 2021 and 2022 (project no. AA-07-20). The project is focused on mapping the occurrence of new psychoactive substances, their risks and trends in use in the Czech Republic (in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/2101 EMCDDA). The project is aimed at establishing both on-site and off-site drug checking services accompanied by other means of harm reduction such as education and personal consultation. Despite all the service workers being approved to handle illegal substances, the samples are collected in all cases through anonymous amnesty boxes so that the privacy and security of our clients is protected. Clients are required to fill out a short form alongside the sample and they receive a unique code (or QR link) that allows them to access their results on a dedicated website (www.drugsinfosite.org). During on-site testing (currently performed with handheld Raman spectrometer and TLC), they can also present the code to the service workers to receive and discuss the results.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

TEDI has 20 representatives from 13 different European Countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland and the United Kingdom) of The Trans-European Drug Information (TEDI) network.

This is a network of organizations across Europe with decades of collective experience providing drug checking, each working within the unique constraints of their audience and legal framework. Common to all of them is a vast amount of expertise in analyzing drugs and using the results of that analysis to deliver targeted information to reduce harm among service users.

The TEDI network encourages would-be drug checkers to contact it with questions and for more specific guidance.
