Love Shack: Mind Full
Mind Full Presents: How To Have A Consistently Nice Time On Drugs
What the organisers are saying about their upcoming event:
In this talk, we will start by looking at a general picture of how psychoactive drugs affect the brain. Then Dean will go through the most popular classes of drugs (opioids, stimulants, sedatives, MDMA, psychedelics, cannabis and dissociatives), describing the major advantages and risks of each. Next he will offer some scientifically informed advice on dosing and combining substances. Finally, together we'll try to get a handle on the elusive psychological factors that often make the difference between good and bad drugs experiences.
Mind Full talks at Love Shack - interesting talks, by interesting people in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Information, open to all.

What's In Your Ket?
What the organisers are saying about their upcoming event:
We have been seeing some anecdotal reports of there being ketamine contaminated with other substances including powerful synthetic opioids and other sedatives.
We want to speak to you so we can learn more about what you've been hearing, what your experiences of using Ket are like at the moment and give you some simple tools to keep you and your mates safe.
We hope this event will help reduce the harms for those currently using ketamine in the city and help improve the knowledge base around ket to inform our services.
