Aims of the seminars and participant introduction
Three themes were covered over the course of the day:
● Self-regulation and drug use;
● Experiences with harm reduction measures for stimulants in the America’s, Asia, Oceania and Europe;
● Conclusions - achieving a comprehensive package of harm reduction for stimulants.
A brief round table participant introduction followed.
Each theme was prefaced by introductory remarks by key participants, in order to stimulate reflection and dialogue, followed by frank discussion. This report conveys the highlights of the discussion, although no individuals are quoted, in keeping with the anonymity stipulated by the Chatham House rule. The ideas expressed were those of individuals in their capacity as experts in the field of harm reduction for stimulants and NPS, and should not be interpreted as reflecting consensus among the group, or endorsement by the organizers
