![]() By purchasing a kit, you are not only helping keep you and your friends safe, you are also contributing to the harm reduction movement.Being worried every once in a while is a normal part of life. All proceeds from the sales of our drug checking kits go back into the organization so we can continue to provide our services to our communities for free. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we provide free harm reduction services at music festivals and nightlife events across the nation. Since 1998, DanceSafe has been keeping the electronic music and nightlife communities safe. We neither condemn nor condone drug use, but rather want people to be aware of what they are ingesting so they can take steps to minimize risks. The purpose of #TestIt Alerts is to alert the public to misrepresented substances circulating in their region. You can purchase your DanceSafe test kit here. Test before you ingest to avoid taking misrepresented substances, and so you can adjust your intention, set, and setting appropriately to minimize risks. Additionally, samples may be sent in to for in-depth laboratory testing. ![]() Using a reagent test kit can help provide a first line of defense as a presumptive (and not affirmative) process. We urge our community to keep in mind that drug markets are expansive and that this adulterated Xanax pill may appear in places other than its source and submission location. While the majority of these substances (with the exception of etizolam, which is used as a recreational designer drug, and the unidentified chemical, which comprises almost half of the sample) are non-recreational and prescribed by physicians, their use in conjunction with each other (and potentially in addition to a person’s existing diagnoses and medications) can cause medical emergencies such as life-threatening respiratory depression, vomit asphyxiation, and (depending on the amount of each substance and the total amount consumed) potentially antihistamine overdose. ![]() Both dopamine producers and tricyclic antidepressants may interact dangerously with a person’s existing health conditions and/or medications. Benzodiazepine analogs such as etizolam can also cause extreme sedation the combination of antihistamines and benzodiazepines may lead to dangerously slowed breathing and heart rate, as well as vomiting (a potentially fatal complication in a highly sedated individual). The remainder of the sample is comprised of first-generation antihistamines (cyproheptadine, chlorpheniramine, and promethazine), a dopamine producer/flu medication (amantadine), a tricyclic antidepressant (doxepin), a benzodiazepine analog (etizolam), and a trace amount of melatonin.Īntihistamines are (typically) allergy and anti-inflammatory medications that can produce drowsiness/sedation, nausea, blurred vision, and other side effects. Because of this, it is impossible to know whether the unidentified chemical contained in this sample is toxic or dangerous. These chemicals could be anything, either psychoactive or nonpsychoactive. Unidentified chemicals in samples are substances that are not currently listed in advanced testing databases. The sample reacted orange to brown with the Marquis reagent, a very slight brown change with the Mecke reagent, and light brown with the Mandelin reagent. The sample was sourced in Los Angeles, CA and sold in the Bay Area, CA. ![]() A white rectangular “bar” pill with three score lines, “XANAX” stamped into one side, and “2” stamped into the other was sold in the Bay Area, CA as Xanax (alprazolam) but actually contained an unidentified chemical, cyproheptadine, amantadine, chlorpheniramine, doxepin, etizolam, promethazine, and melatonin. ![]()
