Sydney: NSW is gearing up to launch a pill testing trial at music festivals starting next year. This decision follows recommendations from the recent drug summit.
There’s been a lot of pressure from experts and politicians to make this happen, especially after the summit earlier this month. It seems like everyone is on board with the idea.
Last week, it was revealed that NSW Health Minister Ryan Park asked for some “interim advice” after the summit. This was likely influenced by the upcoming festival season.
On Thursday, the government officially announced the trial, which will last for 12 months. The best part? It’ll be free and anonymous for festivalgoers. Sounds like a smart move!
More updates are expected soon, so stay tuned!
