Kosovo Clubbing

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. The aim is to minimize harm caused by drug use by offering better information about the substances individuals intend to consume. How Does Drug Checking Wor...

Just few days ago, the German parliament endorsed the legalization of cannabis.  What is the situation on Kosovo, we do not know as no one can't even mention this issue :) but yes, cannabis has been decriminalized in Kosovo and the situation in Croatia and whether the country will follow Germany's steps were investigated by croatian RTL journalists.  The new regulations in Germany take effect from April 1st. This means that growing three marijuana plants at home or carrying up to 25 grams of weed will no longer result in legal consequences.  Germany's legalization aims to combat the black market and enhance the protection of children and young people.  Former Croatian Minister of Environmental Protection and the author of the "lex cannabis," Mirela Holy, which aimed to legalize marijuana in Croatia, shared her views with RTL journalists.  While Mirela Holy welcomed the decision of the Bundestag, she emphasized that the allowance of three plants might be suffici...

It's official: Luxembourg deputies greenlit a law that allows limited cannabis cultivation and consumption at home. 38 MPs voted for the bill and 22 against it.  The repressive drug policy is an "absolute failure", said Justice Minister Sam Tanson (Dei Greng) at the end of the debate. For this reason: "We must dare to take a different path" and "look for solutions". Her party colleague José Lorchet noted: "It's not about trivializing or promoting cannabis, "this bill" is about fighting drug-related crime and the sale of cannabis on the black market." She added that this would also lead to better product quality, because those offered on the illegal drug market are "more harmful to the health of the user". People will be able to grow up to four plants in their home or usual place of residence. Cannabis plants can only be grown from seed and must not be visible from public areas. So no cannabis plants on balconies or ...

Nearly half of the tablets sold as MDMA at festivals in the UK do not contain MDMA 👀  according to a study by Cardiff University, the University of Liverpool and the drug testing organization The Loop. The reasons care Brexit, the Covida 19 pandemic and the fight against drugs. Both of the first reasons would disrupt drug distribution channels. The study shows that 45 percent of substances sold as MDMA did not even contain any part of the drug , but contained cathinones, a new psychoactive substance NPS, and caffeine. Some patients have reported panic attacks and psychosis as side effects. The report adds that  "counterfeiting poses additional unknown risks to consumer health."  In 2019, when a similar study was conducted, only seven percent of tablets tested did not contain MDMA. “This is the first peer-reviewed study to confirm that there has been an unprecedented deterioration in the quality of the drug market since Brexit and the Covid-19 measures. The study finds t...

The world may take a dystopian turn as MDMA -based 'love potions' c ould become available in the next 5 years!! :)  According to Metro , these love drugs could help shed light on the spark of romance that new couples need to start or even breathe life into a fading relationship.  The drink could be based on oxytocin , a ‘ cuddling hormone’ produced in moments of love and intimacy, or even small doses of the drug ecstasy MDMA. Dr. Anna Machin, an evolutionary a nthropologist at Oxford University , said  "We now know enough about the chemistry of the human brain to develop drugs that evoke the same feelings as love ." She also pointed out the ethical dilemmas posed by a drug that could affect the human brain in such a drastic way as love . Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Machin suggested that love drugs could become available in the next three to five years. According to The Independent, Dr. Machin compared a possible oxytocin-based love drug to...

 Mind Medicine Australia  has said that psychedelic drugs should be used as treatment to tackle the psychological impact of coronavirus quarantine. There’s no shortage of scientific research that proves psychedelic drugs can have a number of medical benefits. Magic mushrooms have previously been found to reduce depression and anxiety, as well as improve creativity ; LSD and DMT can trigger positive life changes ; and MDMA can reduce social anxiety and help you get over your trust issues. While Australia’s federal health minister has established new coronavirus support services, including digital and phone support, former Coalition MP (which is, confusingly, a centre-right party) and board member of Mind Medicine Australia (MMA) Andrew Robb is pushing forward a campaign to introduce MDMA and psilocybin – found in magic mushrooms – as a possible treatment. “It is potentially the most significant innovation in mental health we’ve seen in decades,” Robb told ABC. “We would be...
