Hello Drug Clubbers.
There was a time I couldn't imagine giving up using drugs, and now I get my kicks out of telling you how (not) to use them.
As an ex substance user myself I know that the risks non users worry about aren't the same ones we do. We are void touchers, and roulette rollers until our lucks run out and something big and unintended happens. We are harmed by our own drug using behaviour.
There's no safe way to do something dangerous, but approaching it, a bit differently, could make a big difference between a scary trip or a helpful tip to prevent an overdose. So we are here to pass on the message a bit differently, for anyone using drugs or supporting someone who is, lets focus on buzzing a bit about taking care yourself.
I hope you enjoy Drug Club an inclusive , compassionate fun space to check yourself (and your information) before you wreck yourself.
Esme J. Co Founder
A bit about me.
Esme is an experienced writer, speaker, adolescent practitioner and drug alcohol, criminal justice manager and commissioned adult treatment and youth prevention programmes in aligning sectors such as gambling related harm.
In previous lives she has touted for tickets in Ibiza, trained as a personal trainer and wrote non fiction copy for creatives! Hey who do you think wrote this?
Esme really found her toes as a drugs education and prevention training designer and facilitatior. By now she's trained hundreds of professionals, young people and adults.
More than a trainer, she's a performer, a paradoxical combination of serious and silly.
She's also pulled it off when it comes to pushing the boundaries of acceptable; offloading bonkers, thought provoking educational content and raised the lid on taboos around sex, drugs, criminality, in schools, colleges social care, criminal justice settings.
Whatever people choose to get up to, she believes in everyone's ability to make sound assessment's of risk. if they feel heard and have access to the right information.
Using drugs isn't boring and neither should learning about them be.
