James from Victorian Alcohol & Drug Association (VAADA) helps us navigate drug checking and minimising drug related harms for LGBTIQA+ communities. In light of the Greens, Legalise Cannabis, and Animal Justice Party’s proposed bill on drug checking and harms at summer festivals, we’re thankful to James and VAADA for their time.
VAADA works to prevent and reduce Alcohol and Drug-related harms in the Victorian community by ensuring the people experiencing those harms, and the organisations that support them, are well-represented in policy, program development and public discussion.
