Conversations about harm reduction are important for queer and trans communities. In this video, several brave queer and trans community members share their experiences with harm reduction and QTHC's Peer N Peer program.

Smoking is a method of substance use that can be safer than other methods of use, such as injection, but it’s not without its own risks.

A common way people use drugs is through snorting. When you snort a drug, the drug enters the bloodstream through the blood vessels which line the inside of the nose. This generally results in a quicker high than swallowing. While snorting may seem like a safer way to consume drugs, especially when compared to other ways like injecting, it’s not without risks.

Let’s face it — injecting substances can be a complex and dangerous activity. Reaching your desired high while also preventing potential harms can be a challenging balance.
