Where do you think the focus should be for harm reduction initiatives working directly with recreational drug users?

Much of MAPS' work seems to be in scientific and clinical research of medical uses for drugs, but do they have a view/goal of post-prohibition for recreational users too? If so, how are MAPS working towards this?

Also, shameless plug for http://tripsit.me/ , which provides 24/7 online harm reduction/tripsitting chat for drug users.

With most volunteers not being medically trained, how do you safely decide when a user needs medical attention?

Also: shameless plug for TripSit, which does this job outside a festival environment, providing live online tripsitting, resources for learning how to safely use drugs, deal with bad trips among other things.

Also while I have Zendo's ear, might you be interested in utilising our combo chart at your festival tents? Several HR orgs in Europe are already doing this :)
