STREET-TO-LAB DRUG CHECKING IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA & Beyond

PAGROUNDHOGS (PAG) is a collaborative effort  between The Center for Forensic Science Research & Education (CFSRE), Narcomedia llc, The Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Network (PAHRN), and The Everywhere Project. We offer no-to-low cost  drug checking services and technology designed to mitigate public health threats from the influx of new and potentially dangerous synthetic compounds into Pennsylvania's illicit drug supply. Our multidisciplinary leadership team includes some of the earliest pioneers of community based drug checking. We leverage expertise in chemistry, toxicology, ethnography, epidemiology, data analysis, geopolitics and lived experience to offer a uniquely comprehensive portrait of not only the current state of the illicit drug supply, but—to the best our ability—how and why it got that way.
