REAL-TIME DRUG INTELLIGENCE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH

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 low cost  drug checking services and technology to individuals, and to organizations looking for scalable programming that can be deployed in rural,  suburban and urban settings for less than the cost of a single FTIR machine. Our early detection program is designed to mitigate public health threats from the influx of new and potentially dangerous synthetic compounds into the nation'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.
