Jared: This class has been INVALUABLE! I'm already putting some of what I've learned into practice among my rave community. There are folks that are self-medicating in order to deal with the pandemic, and often without critical information on testing, dosing, and interactions. I've been able to provide some guidance, and to share resources with those in need.
Andrew: This class was an extremely valuable resource that covered science, history, culture, and harm reduction. The material was relevant, in-depth, and unbiased -- characteristics that are rarely found in most of the other available education. I was impressed by Rachel's passion and openness for the subject. I encourage others to take the class if they have the opportunity to since these topics are so important.
Darren: I chose to take this class over Harvard's famous "Happiness Course" and a plethora of excellent offerings available for free during COVID. Maybe I'll take that one now that there's a break in DrugsCo offerings, but regardless, I don't regret my decision. I found DrugsCo to be immediately and practically beneficial, largely enjoyable, and no less life affirming than learning about happiness itself.

I loved learning about the different neurotransmitters that substances interact with. I took Psych 100 at the same time I took DrugsCo and I can say with 100% certainty that Rachel is much better at explaining neuroscience than my psych professor who's literal job it is to explain psych and neuroscience.
Rachel is a great instructor and a really good teacher and fun and cool and class is always a great time and I’m learning so fricking much.
This class is so awesome! The instructor has a very deep understanding of the topic and it made the class super exciting and informative
it was fun, really informative, information delivered really well, and has taught me a lot of knowledge ive actually been able to apply (like in my neuro class for instance)
The amount of content covered is substantial! I don't feel like there has been a single stone unturned.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD EXCO. Potentially the best I've taken
the best aspect was the instructor's enthusiasm. you could really feel that she cared about the material, so it was interesting to learn from someone so passionate.
SO PREPARED and put so much work in to the lesson plans/lecture slides! better prepared than my actual professors tbh
this class does exactly what it claims to do: a student of this class will learn so, so much about drugs, harm reduction, and counterculture.
