How Can I Stop an Overdose? Meth Strips

How Can I Stop an Overdose⁉️ Meth Test Strips‼️

💀Methamphetamine (Meth) is scored among the most harmful drugs available, similar to heroin and crack cocaine in harm to user rankings. While not the case for many drugs, there is conclusive evidence that Meth directly causes brain cell death🧠

💊Due to Meth’s low production cost, high potency, and high addictive potential, cutting other recreational drugs with Meth is common practice for drug dealers. This boosts profit margins and keeps unsuspecting users coming back because the dealer’s product may have superior subjective effects due to the Meth it contains. Typically, the user will not be able to recognize they have accidentally taken Meth🔎

💧🧂Because Meth is so common and so much more harmful than other drugs, it is a good idea to test any recreational drugs - especially stimulants - for Meth! Using a small sample (1-2mg) of the drug to be tested (Cocaine, MDMA, Adderall, etc.), dissolve in about 2 teaspoons of water. Trace amounts of Meth can be detected by putting a Meth test strip into the liquid🚰

🚑 Always test recreational drugs for Fentanyl first as it poses a greater life threat than Meth, but ideally test for both. Testing for Meth primarily serves to protect you from accidentally experiencing Meth’s neurotoxic effects or overdosing from mixed drug use☣️

⬜️🟦Meth strips work the same way as Fentanyl strips. To use the Meth test strips, dip the white end in the water for 15 seconds while holding the blue end. After a couple minutes, the presence of Meth is indicated with one colored band❗️A negative test displays two colored bands‼️ Even if the second band is faint, if you can see it at all the test is negative😍
