The Illicit Drugs Reporting System (IDRS) is a national drug monitoring system that has been conducted annually since 2000. Its purpose is to identify emerging trends of local and national concern in illicit drug use, markets and harms. The system is part of the broader Drug Trends program.

This bulletin examines the characteristics and patterns of use of concomitant GHB and stimulant use within a sentinel group of people who inject drugs in Australia.
