International Reagent Test Kit Vendors:
Please note that we receive no financial kickback from any of these affiliates (or any project on this list).
PRO Test - EU -> WW
PRO Test is a pioneer in the reagent testing space. They are extremely well-known and reputable, and their app contains test results for over 800 substances. They do not ship to Russia or Belarus due to the current conflict. They direct UK customers to their British partner organization Reagent Tests UK, and will only ship kits to the UK that RT UK does not offer.

PRO Test offers single-use and multi use reagent test kits and TLC test kits. They uniquely offer a cannabis test kit. They also sell the Zimmerman reagent for benzodiazepenes, which very few other vendors carry. They notably do not sell the Mandelin test kit. As of January 2024, they also sell Marquis, Mecke, Liebermann, Froehde, Morris, Robadope, Simon's, Ehrlich, and Hoffman reagents.

Their Separation Packages (TLC tests) use UV light in order to detect multiple substances within a sample, solving one of the biggest limitations of at-home drug checking (reagent kits not being able to accurately detect multiple substances within a sample in some cases) TLC tests are also able to detect the purity and % makeup of a substance.

We are excited to announce our recent partnership with PRO Test.
For every full reagent test kit (or 10 single reagents) that people buy using the BLUELIGHT code, PRO Test will give us a free kit to give away to members!
So when you buy kits from PRO Test, you aren't just ensuring that you use safely. You're also ensuring that members who cannot afford test kits will also be able to test their drugs and stay safe.

Make sure to use code BLUELIGHT for 10% OFF, AND to help us give away FREE test kits!

DanceSafe - USA -> WW
DanceSafe is an extremely reputable North American harm reduction organization selling reagent test kits and fentanyl test strips (Free shipping for the latter).

Available reagents as of January 2024 include Marquis, Mandelin, Mecke, Ehrlich, Folin, Simon, Froehde, Morris, and Liebermann. They also offer fentanyl test strips and amphetamine test strips. They notably do not offer the Hoffman reagent

Select products are available at certain retailers throughout North America. Educational posters, drug info cards, and other products are also available. Proceeds for most merchandise (clothing, blotter art, etc.) on the DanceSafe online store goes towards supporting DanceSafe's harm reduction and education missions.

Bunk Police - USA -> WW
Bunk Police advertises itself as "the first substance test kit company in the United States" and has been in the space since 2011. They have built up a reputation as a reliable vendor that is constantly pioneering new technologies like TLC tests.

Their Separation Packages (TLC tests) use UV light in order to detect multiple substances within a sample, solving one of the biggest limitations of at-home drug checking (reagent kits not being able to accurately detect multiple substances within a sample in some cases) TLC tests are also able to detect the purity and % makeup of a substance.

As of January 2024, they offer Marquis, Mecke, Mandelin, Liebermann, Froehde, Simon's, Morris, Ehrlich, and Hoffman reagents as well as fentanyl test strips and TLC test kits.

Make sure to use code BLUELIGHT for 10% OFF!

Awesome stuff ar. We should definitely add this in to one of the BDD directories, so it sticks around forever. As long as the BDD mods @falsifiedhypothesi @Keif' Richards and @negrogesic are cool with it.

Let's definitely work on expanding it, but this is a great start.
 
Haven't heard anything back from a mod. And I'm not sure exactly which directory this would be best in.

There might be a better place for this thread: like H&R or in the Recovery Support Directory (ding ding ding, I'll probably put it there as well)

For now, I'm just going to stick this thread until I get yelled at or admonished by one of the mods here.
 
In France, you can add Not For Human: https://notforhuman.org/

This harm reduction association specializes in new synthetic products (RC). Recently, it has also been able to analyze and quantify street drugs (2C-B, LSD, 3-MMC, amphetamine, cocaine, heroin, ketamine, levamisole, phenacetin, caffeine, soon DMT and methamphetamine).

Free, anonymous drug checking. Simply contact the association by e-mail, answer a few questions (context of use, etc.) and send the sample by post.

if youre from New York City specifically Manhattan near the lower side and are shooting and homeless and under the age of 25 there's a day homeless youth that gives free narcan and 25 syringes whenever you need them
also testing kids and clean razors and straws for snorting
if anybody needs bc I dead just give them out to other homeless people bc I dont shoot
I can't say where it is here for the safety of the other homeless kids
but if youre interested PM me those free narcans not only saved my life but I used it to revive 64 people on the streets
god bless narcan fr
 
I just did a quick search on "xylazine" here on Bluelight and not much came out. Is there any information about resources specifically rapid test strips? I know most states are working on decriminalizing and I believe New York is already distributing. Is it not as big of a deal as the DEA data seems to suggest?

Guys please help me I’m so tired of poking my self literally 15-30 times before I can hit and half the time I just literally can’t do it. I can insert the needle drawing back the whole time and get no blood. Every single time without fail as I’m pulling the needle out blood pours into the syringe. What am I doing wrong. I get I could be going to far but how am I supposed to know if nothing will register in the syringe until I’m pulling out. Please someone help
Click to expand...
Go in at a 25 degree angle . I used to have a hot bath and drink lots of fluids. If it's not pulling any in until you pull out you're prob going through the vein.Pull out slowly and when you see blood come back stop there pull back to make sure and slowly inject. When i first tried it i couldn't either, sadly now i can go like a nurse. Plugging is almost the exact same buzz and much safer

Yeah but the problem is once I do pull out and I do the the blood come back in I’ve already gone all the way through so it starts to hurt because there’s now a hole in the vein and my substance is leaking out. Luckily I’ve gotten better at now at least

I just did a quick search on "xylazine" here on Bluelight and not much came out. Is there any information about resources specifically rapid test strips? I know most states are working on decriminalizing and I believe New York is already distributing. Is it not as big of a deal as the DEA data seems to suggest?

It's a huge issue on the east coast and in Canada.
Dancesafe and other organizations sell teststrips for it.

International Reagent Test Kit Vendors:
Please note that we receive no financial kickback from any of these affiliates (or any project on this list).
PRO Test - EU -> WW
PRO Test is a pioneer in the reagent testing space. They are extremely well-known and reputable, and their app contains test results for over 800 substances. They do not ship to Russia or Belarus due to the current conflict. They direct UK customers to their British partner organization Reagent Tests UK, and will only ship kits to the UK that RT UK does not offer.

PRO Test offers single-use and multi use reagent test kits and TLC test kits. They uniquely offer a cannabis test kit. They also sell the Zimmerman reagent for benzodiazepenes, which very few other vendors carry. They notably do not sell the Mandelin test kit. As of January 2024, they also sell Marquis, Mecke, Liebermann, Froehde, Morris, Robadope, Simon's, Ehrlich, and Hoffman reagents.

Their Separation Packages (TLC tests) use UV light in order to detect multiple substances within a sample, solving one of the biggest limitations of at-home drug checking (reagent kits not being able to accurately detect multiple substances within a sample in some cases) TLC tests are also able to detect the purity and % makeup of a substance.

We are excited to announce our recent partnership with PRO Test.
For every full reagent test kit (or 10 single reagents) that people buy using the BLUELIGHT code, PRO Test will give us a free kit to give away to members!
So when you buy kits from PRO Test, you aren't just ensuring that you use safely. You're also ensuring that members who cannot afford test kits will also be able to test their drugs and stay safe.

Make sure to use code BLUELIGHT for 10% OFF, AND to help us give away FREE test kits!

REAL or FAKE: why is this happening??

Recently there has been a lot of "cocaine " going around the st.louis, MO area that 1, doesn't smell like ether, it has more of a kerosene smell, 2, when cooked up into crack w just baking soda and water, things look normal, buy when you smoke it you definitely know something isn't right, 3, It numbs more than anything and it's a weird high...the best I can describe it's feeling is that of what you would feel if you were smoking Lidocaine and you're nerves become numb throughout your whole body, even leaving the feeling that your brain is detached from its base...the oil is off putting . I really believe that this substance may not even have cocaine in it..I was wondering if I could get it tested somewhere or if anyone has experienced this and can shine some light on the subject...it's not an isolated incident w one greedy dealer either and I've just recently been made aware of synthetic stimulant analogs that replicate features of cocaine hydrochloride, so I'm wondering if that is something going on...
