Overdose prevention campaign criticized for advocating further drug use: 'Do it with friends'
Fox News
A drug abuse and overdose awareness group is facing pushback for one of its campaigns that encourages drug users to continue using drugs in ways that could benefit their personal health.
A series of posters and advertisements from the DOPE Project, which were created in "collaboration with the real first responders in San Francisco – people who use drugs," advises those who continue to use drugs to "do it with friends" or "to change it up" by "ingesting or smoking instead of snorting."

Another poster from the campaign, which features a gleeful group of drug users, advises to "take it easy" and "go slow" when using. "Use less at first to test the strength of your drugs," one poster reads.
