DRUG INFORMATION & EDUCATION

KnowDrugs offers detailed profiles of more than 200 drugs for educational purposes. This includes stimulants like MDMA and Amphetamine, depressants such as Alcohol and Benzodiazepines, and psychedelics like 2C-B, LSD, and DMT. By providing this drug education, KnowDrugs equips users with knowledge about the desired and undesired effects of drugs, their duration, interactions, and risks. This helps users make more informed decisions, reduce risks, and reflect on their drug habits and consumption behavior.

DRUG CHECKING, PILL WARNINGS & DRUG ALERTS

KnowDrugs allows users to search for a specific drug name, substance, or location to find nearby drug alerts. Users can learn about the ingredients and dosage strength of these drugs, helping them avoid overdose and potentially dangerous substances (such as PMA) commonly added to drugs. Drug checking or pill testing offers a way to reduce harm by allowing users to determine the content and purity of substances before consumption. This empowers users to make safer choices by avoiding dangerous substances and combinations and using smaller quantities. Even without access to professional drug testing services, looking up recent drug testing results can still provide valuable information.

HARM REDUCTION & RESPONSIBLE DRUG USE

Harm reduction aims to minimize the risks associated with recreational substance use. Recognizing that substance use inherently carries the possibility of injury, addiction, and death, harm reduction advocates for taking appropriate measures to mitigate these potential harms. KnowDrugs plays a role in harm reduction by highlighting the potential harms of over 200 substances and providing strategies for reducing harm associated with drug consumption.
