Be Cautious What You're Buying!

One of the biggest dangers with street drugs is that they are not regulated. They are produced in unregulated, illegal labs, where no standard for purity, dosage, or safety exists. You can’t know for certain what’s in the substance you’re purchasing. Even if it looks like a familiar pill or powder, it could contain dangerous, life-threatening additives like fentanyl or xylazine. In fact, many users are unaware of the presence of fentanyl until it’s too late, with accidental overdoses skyrocketing due to the extremely small amounts needed to cause harm.

The unpredictability of street drugs is why having access to testing tools is essential for anyone who uses substances. StaySafeFam’s fentanyl and xylazine test strips are designed to detect even trace amounts of these deadly substances in illicit drugs, providing users with the ability to test their purchases before use. This quick and easy testing process only takes a few minutes and could save a life.

It’s important to remember that the composition of illicit drugs can change at any given moment. A drug that’s safe to use today could be deadly tomorrow. Therefore, even if you’ve tested substances in the past and found them to be safe, always test again.
