Last day for SSDP DCU in Chicago. Nothing to make you feel more green than catching a drink on the 96th floor. #ssdp2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxWSJGAsP9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=168z02ey4s5h5

Nice people use drugs. People have problems. People sometimes use drugs to cope with their problems and sometimes that causes more problems. But using drugs is not an issue of morals and we need to stop looking down on people as if it is. Drug users are people. People who have dependency issues with drugs are not bad people. #stopthestigma If Ireland stepped in the direction of decriminalisation maybe we can start having these conversations with wider society. #decriminalizeit #saferfromharm #supportdontpunish source: @drugpolicyalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8p8-rAZdM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sn2mglz4z4g1

Going out this weekend? Let's leave the mixing to the DJ. If you're planning to use drugs remember to #StickToOne and look after yourself and your friends. #harmreduction #safesesh #saferpartying #saferfromharm #ssdp2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt7IzutASMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fix58kw5j5c4

Fantastic way to launch DCU's new Drug Policy this afternoon coinciding with our decriminalisation referendum campaign launch. So happy to have support from @analiffey and Merchants Quay Ireland as well as @dublincityuniversity and @dcu_su. Massive thanks to @phillymcmahon whose documentary #thehardesthit we were able to screen and have an appearance from the man himself to talk to us about his experience. We hope this is the start of a new way of looking at drug policy and drug use on DCU campus and across the country, and that we all adopt a more compassionate, empathetic approach to the issue. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRGS12gufr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ed3b9g73mumg

Amazing evening seeing #thehardesthit by @phillymcmahon in the @irishfilminstitute. Really amazing to get the opportunity to see the documentary. We'd really recommend people give it a look. Fantastic opportunity to meet some amazing people we hope to work with in the future! @analiffey #saferfromharm #stopthestigma #supportdontpunish #ssdp https://www.instagram.com/p/BrWO_3oghGD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v3t13pldumq3

For anyone attending @dcu_su Blizzard Ball this evening. We're camped out with water, drug information and reagent drug checking kits.

Have a look at some of these harm reduction tips from @drugpolicyalliance and @dancesafe_ . Make sure you're in the know for anything you might be using. Remember, the safest approach is to abstain from drug use entirely, but if you do use drugs, educate yourself and stay safe! #saferpartying #supportdontpunish #drugpolicyalliance #dancesafe #ssdp https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-l1OfB52D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k8gl4levkhmy
