Casual Safe
In the partnership between Detroit Recovery Project and Buffalo Prescott, our mutual goal is to provide the tools we need to keep us safe. We want to make harm reduction more accessible and make the tools available where we are. We have been to parties, we have taken chances, we know.
Casual Safe is harm reduction for us.
We think that harm reduction doesn’t have to be clinical. We think harm reduction should be approachable. We think that everyone should have narcan on their person. We think that sex should be safe and consensual. We think that pretending it isn’t happening is a terrible idea.
Casual Safe is harm reduction for parties. No judgment, no questions.
In 2021 almost 70% of all drug overdose deaths related to psychostimulants (encompassing most party drugs) reported co-involvement of opioids. That means if there was a drug overdose death from any range of pills, liquids, or powders, 7 times out of 10 fentanyl or some other opioid was involved. Fentanyl is cheap and used to cut or replace what’s out there. In 2023 over 115 million pills laced with fentanyl were seized by law enforcement and 42% of seized pressed pills contained at least 2 mg of fentanyl, a potentially lethal dose.
Casual Safe is a harm reduction art project.
We want to make harm reduction accessible, approachable, cute. We want to make harm reduction interesting, visually appealing, cool. To this end, Buffalo Prescott selected artist resident Shaina Kasztelan to design the first run of packaging* for the Narcan Kits, Safe Use Kits, and Safe Sex Kits.
Casual Safe is harm reduction.
