Drug checking is a free, legal and confidential service that tells you what's in your drugs so you can reduce risks. Drug checking staff and volunteers use a scientific machine called a spectrometer to do this, along with reagent tests – chemicals that change colour when they react with certain drugs. You’ll then get your results, and drug checkers will have a chat with you about ways to stay safer. They can also answer your questions about drugs.
