Substance Checking Prevents Overdose*

Substance use is not a moral failing, and people who use drugs deserve to have all of the information possible about what is going into their body, because they still care about their health. Without any regulated drug supply, there aren't many ways to know what is in your substance. That's why QCHR provides free availablity of FTIR (a state-of-the-art machine dedicated to detecting additives) and reagent testing of substances.
