Mixmag Online Questionnaire 2011

Dear Mixmag reader

Thank you! To all of you who took part in last year's survey-it was the biggest drug survey ever (over 3500 in the end!). The information you provided was used around the world and led to presentations to the UK and European drug advisory boards, numerous research papers and provided facts at a time where incident and anecdote reigned supreme. This year we hope to be even bigger. As ever we are learning and basing our questions on what you tell us. This year we are focusing on a number of issues including mephedrone use since the law change, getting busted, worries you may have about your mates ,cannabis withdrawal, having a bad time on drugs , the quality of drugs, and what you know about any new drug you take. Depending on what you use - the survey will take 20-30 minutes, your time is enormously appreciated. If you decide to complete this questionnaire, please be assured that the information you give us is entirely confidential and will be kept safely. The questionnaire is also anonymous - although there are a few broad questions about the type of person you are and what part of the world you live in.

As ever we will get your results back to you in the March 2011 issue. Once again thanks so much.

Have a great and safe 2011

Cheers

Adam and Luke
