The Australian Sex party supports the introduction of pill testing services at music and other cultural events.
The Australian Sex Party supports a harm reduction approach to illicit drug use. In several European countries, this approach includes the provision of pill testing services at events where pills are known to be popular.
Pill testing services reduce drug-related harm by:
- providing reliable information about the contents of pills; and
- supporting users to make informed choices about drug use.
Research into pill testing services shows that they promote safer drug use and lead to an improvement in the quality of pills available on the black market.
