YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In response to record drug overdose deaths, many of them caused by the super-potent synthetic opioid fentanyl, some drug users and dealers have begun self-testing their narcotics for purity. Storefront testing services like Vancouver's Get Your Drugs Tested offer infrared spectrometry to identify what chemicals are present in a drug sample. Others are relying on simple paper test strips that can identify the presence of fentanyl. With high-profile overdose deaths increasingly linked to fentanyl, such as the recent passing of Michael K. Williams, it's likely that drug testing will become more common and more readily available.
