SEGMENT

Dr. David Caldicott is an emergency consultant working at Calvary Hospital in Canberra and has been advocating for harm reduction policies to be implemented around drug users for well over a decade. Dr. Daldicott speaks with Enpsychedelia about a variety of issues, from the need for pill testing at festivals and other events where drug use happens, to the rise of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS), new drugs that have a very short history of human use and hardly any information on the risks... or the benefits.
