TRIP! Project

Curious what came of that Ketamine Survey TRIP! conducted last year?

We’re geared up present to you a snapshot of how we, as a community, are identifying with Ketamine. This community discussion will include an overview of the survey results, plus information like how Ketamine works in the body and on the brain, K harm reduction tips, and community brainstorms about how we can all work better with this prevalent drug. We’re bringing in our very favourite ‘Dr. Tim’ — partyer and Medical Doctor extraordinaire — to help run the show. You’ll have an opportunity to ask him any questions you may have around Ketamine — a rare chance for K users! Continue reading →

“Ah, drugs: the heady highs, the crippling lows, the preachy anti-drug commercials that exist somewhere in between. Together with Cops, anti-drug ads taught us the valuable lesson that drug addiction, if serious enough, will get you on national TV. And as Fear Factor has proven, the generation of men and women who grew up in the ‘80s will eat a horse’s penis to get on TV, so drug addiction doesn’t sound like such a bad option, now does it? Here are five classic anti-drug ads, our analysis of what they set out to do and the unintended consequences they actually had.” – Cracked.com

We’re gettin’ busy at TRIP!

In the coming months we’ll be producing 3 new pieces of harm reduction information for partiers, and we’d like to have your input on which drugs and drug-related issues you would most like to see information about. Please take the 2 MINUTES it takes to fill in our quick and dirty drug info poll, and the top three drugs/drug issues with the most votes will be the subject of our new, upcoming literature for partyers.

The polls are open:Take the survey here!

Looks like Oxies are soaring in popularity these days. Statistics coming from the United States report that recreational prescription drug use is surpassing even Marijuana use. OxyContin is the name brand for Oxycodone, a commonly prescribed, highly addictive analgestic medication. On the street they are usually called Oxies, or sometimes Hilbilly Heroine, although I don’t think people who use it would ever consider themselves Hilbillies. Continue reading →

Hola a todo,

I hope everyone is having a sweet Valentines Day, whether you are getting it on with your loved one, or having a spontanious three-some at an after party. Just make sure you wrap your package. It’s not just men, and women who fuck men who need to wrap up, girls on girls do too! Slap some seran wrap on that shit, or you can alternatively cut a condom in half. Be careful that your seran is non-microwaveable, as some types of seran are porus. Also remember if you’re sharing sex toys to keep them sterilized by using condoms! Anytime you change partner, or change hole (ass v.s. pussy), put a new one on. With these simple steps we can all have a happy safe vday.

Peace!

elle.

NEW YORK (CNN) — We’re fighting a war that is inflicting even greater casualties than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and, incredibly, costing even more money. We’re losing the War on Drugs, and we’ve been in retreat for three decades.

That statement may come as a surprise to John Walters, Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, who spent last week trumpeting the Bush administration’s anti-drug policies. He claims these policies have led to a decline in drug abuse and improvements in our physical and mental health.
