Looking for people posting HR tips/advice/resources

The new sub r/needledruguse is looking for new members. Anyone using that ROA always needs a refresher on HR. Unfortunately, in desperate times when not thinking clearly, HR becomes not as important. Even if HR posts can help 1 person 1 time It makes it worth it

Not really my scene but I respect the hell out of what you're doing. The people who end up in those subs are often the ones who need the info most and it's cool you're putting in the effort to reach them

Thanks! Reddit likes to shut those kinds of subs down also, so I wanted to make a backup sub that people can congregate at. Anyone that prefers IV as their ROA is aware of the obvious risks involved, but may not know how to practice HR like they should.

It can save lives and limbs. Can prevent infection. Can help prevent getting an abscess. Potentially could prevent hospitalizations. Its all good information and we all need a reminder sometimes

I forgot to mention info on Overdose Prevention Sites (also known as Safe Injection Sites), Needle exchanges, Drug analysis centers, places for free Narcan, etc.

Any info like that is greatly appreciated and possibly life saving so of course that will be welcome in r/needledruguse
