Crystalmeth    

We are fortunate in having been able to reproduce some of the articles written and published on Lifeormeth. They provide us with an insight into how Crystalmeth came about and spread into the gay club culture of American cities and that the introduction of Viagra may have fuelled the rampant spread of crystal meth across America. Europe has yet to awaken to the full horror of crystal abuse, but it already has a limited though expanding foothold in several European capitals and has even surfaced in Ibiza.

Doctors in the UK have unanimously supported POSH's campaign to alert gay mean about the dangers of Crystalmeth, as they daily see the devastating results of Crystal use leading to HIV transmission, increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, as well as acute and chronic immunosuppression. Better read than dead.

Cocaine & Heroin

Cass Mann, POSH's founder, saw at first hand the devastating impact of cocaine abuse when he ran The Embassy Club (UK's most notorious and celebrated nightclub) in the '80's as well as Heaven nightclub. He witnessed the effects of cocaine abuse on his clientele which led in many cases to them abandoning safer sex practices and becoming entirely uncaring about protecting their health.

Cocaine is still seen as the upmarket club and sex drug of choice and its use confers social cachet and respectability on its users.

Harm Reduction & support networks    
     
Positively Healthy is dedicated to its clients avoiding all club and sex drugs, but recognizes that there are those who are not able to undertake this major step and for them we suggest they investigate harm reduction, controversial and problematic as it is, as well as seeking out other support networks (see recovery rooms).  
     
Bitter and Twisted    
Wayne G, as an openly HIV-positive gay man, may never have claimed to be the cultural club icon he is branded as by QX readers and clubbers, but his lifestyle represents a real, measurable and incalculable danger to the health and well-being of the gay clubber drug-addicted underclass
