KnowYourStuffNZ pill library offers guidance on party drugs

From Morning Report, 8:49 am on 2 March 2020

A group which tests drugs for purity at music festivals have launched a "pill library" on their website listing all the different substances they found this summer.

KnowYourStuffNZ operates stalls at music festivals where concertgoers can take their illicit substances for checking - making sure that what's in their pill is what they thought.

The idea is to reduce drug harm by informing people who will be taking them anyway about what they're actually ingesting.

KnowYourStuffNZ managing director Wendy Allison speaks to Susie Ferguson.
