A potentially dangerous high strength pill identified through testing at Electric Picnic last year
The Health Service Executive (HSE) has issued explanatory videos ahead of their harm reduction drug testing at Electric Picnic.
The harm reduction team will have tents at three locations so ‘back of house’ drug testing can take place.
The teams aim to test drugs so that they can alert revellers to dangerous or particularly potent drugs at the festival. They also use the testing to identify new drugs which may be of concern.
Our #HarmReduction teams will be at Electric Picnic to chat to you about drugs, reducing harms and our ‘back of house’ drug checking.
