Team Australia
Buck Reed has expertise in medical services and
psychostimulants plus drink spiking, Ecstasy, GHB, and the club/party/rave
scene in Australia. He works closely with various organizations to
investigate and track trends in Australian party drug use. He is also
involved in a number of research groups and researchers involved with
looking at models for providing acute emergency care in the field to party
drug overdoses. Reed lectures in a variety of arenas on party drug issues.
GHB abuse has been a
persistent issue in countries beyond the United States, including
Australia. In the late 90s, a teen club on the Gold Coast experienced a
mass overdose of ten individuals with at least four being in critical
condition. Numerous GHB addiction cases have come forward to Project GHB
from here and yet, like in most countries, knowledge and response to the
severe withdrawal syndrome from GHB addiction is very limited.
Drug-facilitated sexual assault, with GHB and/or other drugs employed as
the weapon of choice, has also been a growing concern in Australia. Team
Australia will work to increase public awareness, address prevention and
improve medical/legal response to GHB sexual assaults, overdoses and
addiction cases. Anyone seeking help or wanting to get involved with Team
efforts is encouraged to contact Team Australia.
