    Signs more Kiwis are adopting safer behaviours when taking drugs

    Signs more Kiwis are adopting safer behaviours when taking drugs


    A new Know Your Stuff survey, has found the majority of respondents were checking drugs before taking them.

    While it also found many people chose not to take drugs different from what they presumed, 89 percent were using safer behaviours.

    Know Your Stuff general manager Casey Spearin, says checking drugs remains the most common safe behaviour.

    She says people are also not taking multiple drugs in one setting, and making sure they have a sober responsible person to keep them safe.
