DRUG CHECKING

Drug checking is the latest practice which has been embraced by many people who use drugs in recent years, the risks of drug use increases greatly when users aren’t sure exactly what it is they are taking. Check out the video below to get a better understanding of the importance of drug checking.

How to do drugs checking:

If you want to know what is in the drugs you are planning to take there are a few options for you.

• Buying your own reagent testing kit and testing the substance at home. See BDP’s FAQ’s to get a better understanding of the benefits and limitations of reagents testing kits
• Wedinos is a harm reduction project which provides an anonymous and free postal drug testing service and publishes sample results on their website. It can take up to a week to get the results published so a bit of preparation is needed
• We are fortunate in Bristol that the Loop has partnered with Bristol Drugs Project to provide a drug checking service on a monthly basis in Bristol city centre. To see when the next session is click here https://wearetheloop.org/city-centre-drug-checking
