This guide is intended to inform people of the risks associated with injecting new psychoactive substances (NPS), drugs commonly called legal highs or any unidentified powders.

As you will no doubt know, the best advice is simple, don’t start injecting or if you have started injecting, try an alternative. Injecting any drug (including NPS) can be the most dangerous way of taking it. There is a greater risk of overdose. Injectors can develop abscesses, ulcers, infections as well as blood borne viruses like hepatitis and HIV. However, properly following the steps listed in this guide could greatly reduce many of the risks and harms that come with injecting.
