Transform is the main UK group working towards drug law reform. Great source of drug news twitters and opinion pieces. |

HepC Trust
The main UK charity promoting information on hepatitis C, in my opinion this group need to twitter more often, but they are still worth adding to your 'follows'. |
| 4 |
TED
The quality of information available from TED is obvious when you look at the ratio of follows to followers. Thousands of people follow TED. Not specific drug info but fantastic anyway |

DDN Magazine
I've put DDN into these links for completeness, but I do feel very disapointed in their twittering. For a publication that is free to view online AND delivers its print magazine free to people in the UK I hoped for more than just links to their own articles. Maybe some behind the scenes twittering would make them more interesting to follow/ |
As more people start using Twitter it becomes a fantastic tool for networking and sharing harm reduction information around the world. These are some of the great contacts I've made on Twitter while I've been using it. If you have never used Twitter, or you've only just started using it don't worry I'm writing an article to help get you started (which should be out within a week).
