1. Safety: First and foremost, drug testing kits (also known as drug checking kits) will help prevent against drug related harm/death by detecting dangerous substances, such as fentanyl or other potent opioids, that may be present in recreational drugs bought from the street. This is why we encourage people to always test their substances with our Fentanyl Test Kit which shows both fentanyl and other potent opioids. This example of drug testing enables people who use drugs to make informed decisions about their drug use and take steps to reduce harm and avoid substances laced with Fentanyl.

2. Quality control: Drug testing kits can also help determine the purity and quality of their drugs. This is important because it informs people who use drugs of possible contamination/adulteration with more harmful substances. Our best-selling kits such as Cocaine Purity Test Kit, Cocaine Cuts Test Kit, and MDMA Purity Test Kit all fall into this category. This information is valuable because it can help make informed decisions about their drug use (i.e. if people still want to use Cocaine if they found out it is of low purity and is laced with other adulterants) and their sources (helps test various sources to see which has higher purity).

3. Education: Drug testing kits are also useful as an educational tool which can inform people about the risks associated with drug use and how to reduce harm. For example, knowing there is a contaminated substance is the first step in making informed choices. Drug testing kits can also help with encouraging dialogue about harm reduction which can lead to a reduction in stigma and promote open and honest conversations about drug use. By increasing awareness, people who use drugs will be knowledgeable about the dangers of contaminated drugs. Through weighing risks and benefits and providing accurate information about the drugs they are using, drug testing kits can help people make more informed decisions about their health.
