Drug Checking & Community Drug Alerts
Hi-Ground supports evidence-based approaches to reducing drug-related harm, including initiatives that help communities stay informed about emerging substances, trends and risks.
We developed Hi-Q, a community anecdotal reporting platform that enables people to anonymously share information about unexpected drug effects, concerning substances and emerging trends. These reports contribute to broader community awareness and can help identify potential risks earlier.
While Hi-Q is not a laboratory drug checking service and cannot verify the contents or purity of substances, it provides a valuable harm reduction tool by collecting real-world community observations and encouraging informed decision-making.
Through this work, Hi-Ground contributes to:
- Community-led monitoring of emerging drug trends
- Anonymous reporting of unexpected or adverse drug experiences
- Timely sharing of harm reduction information where appropriate
- Strengthening connections between community experiences and broader harm reduction responses
