Drugs and Me

drugsand.me is an educational website that provides information about existing harm reduction methods for drug users. We do not promote drug use, but we do encourage you to be safe if you are thinking of taking any kind of drug. This website was inspired by the thousands of deaths that occur in the UK due to lack of correct drug education. Although we have done thorough research to find this information, you should not count solely on this site and do your own research. As with everything, you shouldn’t trust the first source you bump into. We have a bibliography that we encourage you to read. Website: www.drugsand.me
