Drug Checking
Fast, free, anonymous drug checking with FTIR spectrometry and fentanyl test strips.
We believe that:
Everyone deserves to know what's in their substances so they can make informed choices about how they'll use them
Having real, no judgement conversations about substances reduces stigma, so people won't feel ashamed and alone
Harm reduction saves lives
We offer:
Fast, free, anonymous drug checking to people of all ages
Drug checking in person, in our offices so we can have a conversation about what exactly your substance is made of
Take Home Fentanyl Test Strips, and lessons on how to use them, so you can test your drugs for fentanyl even when our offices are closed
Drug Checking outreach at festivals where we know the information is needed
