From the Innovative Uses Department:
A strip that was invented to test whether patients who were
prescribed fentanyl were using it can now be used by heroin users to see if their
heroin is cut with fentanyl.
There is a push from some groups to give the strips to drug users so that they can test the purity of their drugs before shooting up. Reaction is split between people who have seen it help heroin
users modify their intake (if it has lots of fentanyl, they’ll use less), and
those who have seen it do no good at all.
I’m just trying to wrap my head around the idea of giving people a way to test how pure their illegal drugs are.
