It certainly wasn’t taken as criticism - it’s a most excellent point that I passed onto their team. It was more to clarify that in most non-UK cases my role is to help out with the designs.

Excellent point, I’ll pass it on to their team. When it comes to localised versions such as this I leave it up to local teams to decide the contents. The polydrug approach isn’t working for everyone, but the joy of the Wheel being Creative Commons is letting it evolve without any central β€˜command’.

Loving their redesign of the Club Drugs Wheel with effects in a table below - better for legibility and will make future designs much easier! The Catalan version is hopefully coming soon…
