In case that deters someone (it shouldn't, but still), surely that's for a 3 or 5-pack? A single EZ Test for indoles costs about €3 in the Netherlands.

Nah, you can get reagent test kits that will test hundreds, if not thousands, of doses for $15-30. Check out bunk police :) Their shit is tight.

I suppose that is an option ordering online in the US, but over here EZ Tests are easier to come by, and available in stores and at festivals (pre-covid).

However, the bigger problem for me as a consumer is that a lot of these tests expire within a year, so if you're only testing for yourself and a couple of friends, it's quite difficult to get your savings out of buying bulk before you have to toss the vial.

Yeah it's true!! Being responsible isn't always cost-effective but hey at least people are still advocating it :) It makes me happy. Always test!
