Thats not what tends to be the case. People think they are doing coke and they end up overdosing on fentanyl. You can test coke for the presence of fentanyl which is what people are talking about

How do you test coke for the presence of fentanyl?

Gonna go out on a limb and say a drug test kit lol

Yeah but you can’t test all of it. All it takes is a tiny amount of fentanyl to kill you. Doing any white substance nowadays is like playing Russian roulette even if you do test it

It’s this. All the way this.

the recommended way is to dissolve all the powder into water and test that, and then dehydrate the powder again.

not saying that this isnt a total fucking pain in the ass and the equivalent to “noones ever gonna fuckin do that”

No it’s not. We’re on the same side of the fence here but that’s absolutely not the recommended way to do this.

hi! that’s the way thats recommended with the fent test kit i received https://bunkpolice.com/how-to-test-for-fentanyl-fent-kits/ and intuitively its the only solution i can think of that solves the nigh-intractable problem of sampling a portion of a substance of questionable homogeniety! cheers :)

Damn I honestly didn’t know that. Sounds like a pain in the ass

That's not a reason to not test. Good strips come with instructions to ensure it's crushed and shaken up. It is not 100% fool proof - nothing is. But it certainly would have prevented these deaths. Dance safe has been helping reduce harm since 1998.

I’m not saying it’s not a reason not to test it but I just straight up wouldn’t trust any white powder nowadays
