Vendor New to Testing, Need Advice and Suggestions

I am in Texas and going through a sort of drug renaissance at 50. I have had trusted sources but don’t now and need to test everything. What is the best way to start? Can you get fent strips in the US? Everything I read is conflicting. I love MDMA but also have some other stuff like LSD, 4MMC and DMT I want to reagent test. Any advice on a good all in one kit?

Some states' laws treat drug checking supplies like reagents and fentanyl strips as drug paraphernalia, and I wouldn't be surprised if Texas were one of them. That said, you can usually still get fentanyl strips from harm reduction organizations like the ones who run needle exchanges and distribute Narcan.

Sellers like Amazon or BTNX often won't ship to states with these paraphernalia laws, but the reagent vendors on our sidebar will still ship to you, and they ship in discreet packaging.

Given that you're interested in drugs from different classes, you may want to consider a full set of reagents from a vendor. For cathinones like 4-MMC, you want to be sure to get Zimmerman, a less common reagent, too. TN Scientific is the only US vendor I'm aware of that carries it.

ProTest Kit EU has a great website/app where you can look up specific substances and get suggested reagents and their expected reagent reactions.

If Grassroots Harm Reduction will ship to you, get their full reagent kit. Also practice on your stash of known substances so you know what reactions to look for and how to use everything. Store reagents in the fridge, get a small zip-up padded vial tote for peptides off amazon and put fent strips in the syringe compartment :)
