Fact sheets [TOP]

Printer friendly versions for a range of information on the facts and effects of drug use can be accessed via our 'Safer Partying Drug Guide sorted3" (click here).

Please note this information is not intended for the general public. It is specifically for people who are currently using drugs, or for health professionals - who would like to be better informed. This information is aimed at reducing the risks associated with drug use. CADS does not endorse the use of illegal substances and believes that no drug use is the safest option.

These info sheets were written by consumers for consumers. We are happy for other services to adapt the information sheets for their own use and recommend that the consumers of your service are included in this process.
