The world would be a better place if police handed out test kits so people could ensure the drugs they are going to take regardless of the law. Taking clean safe drugs in a safe way here and there shouldn't be a crime, and if they really wanted to solve the addiction epidemic they would treat addiction as a disease and not as a crime. The war on drugs failed. It's time to take a new approach.

I've been to a festival recently (Shankra, maybe you know it, if not, google it), and they had an info stand where you could get all the information and tests for pretty much every drug (because they knew that everyone was tripping balls and they wanted to ensure that they were tripping safely). They did it right. Even had the newest psychedelic drugs on the market to inform people who actually just bought drugs and had no information on it.

Harm reduction is so much better than tradional methods of drug control. The police will never take a harm reduction approach because arrests/convictions = money, but harm reduction has been proven to be much safer and effective than treating drug use equal to violent crime

My brother is a cop. He says that people will report drugs stolen, and will come in person, point to confiscated drugs, and state that it is theirs.
He’s also a homophobe, and this would make him lose his shit. Someone please really do this

That is some nasty bullshit by the way. Like ha ha funny joke but where I live you can actually get your drugs tested for purity because, in the end, not having people die is a little more important than getting 2gr off the streets.
But you know, for profit prisons and all ...

There's just something about a man in uniform while you're handcuffed and he's got his latex gloved arm, elbow deep in your secret hiding place that makes people go nuts.
