The Canadian Association of People who Use Drugs (CAPUD) is the national drug user organization in Canada. Our board and staff are comprised entirely of people who use(d) drugs. One of our main purposes is to empower people who currently use drugs deemed illegal to survive and thrive, with their human rights respected and their voices heard. We envision a world where drugs are regulated and the people who use them are decriminalized. We are survivors of this war and we’ll continue to fight for policy reform that is based in evidence, understanding and compassion.

We didn’t start the war, but we will end it!

Partner sites in this project use two technologies in combination to check drugs: Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and immunoassay strips that test for the presence of fentanyl or benzodiazepines.
