Survey: Should Croatia Introduce Drug Checking at Festivals?

A study explores whether Croatia should implement public drug-checking services at festivals. The Loop Drug-checking services are increasingly being introduced at electronic music festivals worldwide, including in countries like the UK, France, Australia, and New Zealand. Closer to home, Slovenia has already adopted drug checking.  It’s important to note that drug checking is not the same as drug testing —it does not test for the presence of substances in a person’s body, nor does it focus on criminal prosecution. VOTE HERE  Initial research indicates that drug checking does not encourage increased drug use; in fact, it may reduce consumption. According to Rijeka -based association Terra (Tripsitters) , drug checking is an integrated service that allows individuals to chemically analyze drugs while providing counseling.
