The Trip!Wire is a service provided by the Trip! Project that allows community members to directly text questions around drug use, sexual health and harm reduction. You can text the Trip!Wire at (647) 822-6435 but keep in mind that it may take up to 24 hours to recieve a response. For drug related emergencies such as overdose don’t hesitate to contact 911! Questions submitted to the Trip!Wire will be reviewed by Trip! outreach workers. A short answer will be texted back to you. The questions will later be used to generate blog posts providing a more indepth answer.
