1 Head Shop Products: Promoting Harm Reduction Tony Duffin - Director Ana Liffey Drug Project
2 Purpose and content of the presentation: With a focus on Head Shops, the purpose and content of the presentation is To set the context the Ana Liffey works in. To share Ana Liffey s recent experience. To inform you of what Ana Liffey is doing as an active member of the North Inner City Drugs Task Force - Treatment & Rehabilitation Network.
3 Ana Liffey "During the early-1980s, drug policy and service provision in Dublin struggled to adapt to what became known as the 'opiate epidemic', the first wave of injecting heroin use in a city previously accustomed to much less risky drug use. This adaptation was not helped by the lack of formal drug policy-making structures or by the assumption that the only legitimate health and social service interventions were those which had abstinence as their goal. It was against this background that Frank Brady S.J. and Mara de Lacy set up the Ana Liffey Drug Project in 1982, a project which introduced the concepts of 'user friendliness', 'lowthreshold', 'outreach' and 'peer education' work." (Dr Shane Butler, Addiction Research Centre, Trinity College Dublin)
4 Setting the scene in North Inner City Dublin North Inner City Dublin has a unique profile: High density of licensed and off licence alcohol premises in a small area. High density of Headshops within a small area. High density of Methadone clinics in a small area. A high level of poverty within a small area. A high level of illicit drug seizures within a small area.
5 Working with people experiencing problem drug use Mid 2009 we started to notice a shift towards the use of head shop products among a group of I.V. drug users. Their product of choice to inject was Snow which they explained was better than cocaine; although the come down was heavy. People, within this cohort, began injecting the product straight away more bangs for your buck! People told us that the drug lasted longer i.e. they would take one hit and they would get effects lasting, reportedly, up to 24 hours.
6 One medical professional s experience: Over the past 3 months I have become increasingly aware of abuse of a substance sold as bath salts in head or hemp shops. Patients describe an effect similar to ecstasy or cocaine. I understand that there are 3 substances called snow, blow and vanilla sky. The former, snow appears to be the most popular. They also report that it prolongs the effect of heroin and defers the withdrawal phase of heroin use. They report either snorting or injecting. Injection appears to be associated with significant local tissue damage as a disproportionate number of patients have attributed marked local inflammation or DVT to use of this substance. This abuse is very common in certain populations. I saw 20 drug users at a hostel for homeless persons this morning and over half reported use of snow within in the past month. (December 7th 2009 Member of Safetynet Primary Care for Homeless People.)
