Metzineres and L’Arravalera are opening registration for the Prohibition Hacking Workshop: Reducing the Impact of the Gag Law on Health, a training session led by DoctorX aimed at reflecting on the effects of the Citizen Security Law on health, harm reduction, and the everyday lives of people who use substances.
The workshop offers a critical, educational, and participatory space to address how prohibitionism, stigma, and control policies affect bodies, rights, and care strategies. From a health-based, community-oriented, and situated perspective, the activity seeks to provide tools to better understand these impacts and to explore creative, cautious, and collective ways to reduce harm.
The proposal combines theoretical, historical, and philosophical foundations of so-called “drug-loving mischief” with discussions on self-protection, discretion, risk reduction, contemporary technologies, gender perspective, and psychoactive gastronomy. All of this is approached through humor, political critique, and a health-centered perspective.
The workshop will be led by DoctorX, the pseudonym of Spanish physician Fernando Caudevilla, a family medicine professional specialized in reducing harms associated with substance use. DoctorX is known for his work providing health advice in digital environments and for offering technical, chemical, and medical information aimed at reducing risks, preventing overdoses, and minimizing harms associated with substance use.
