Harm Reduction Guide
Here's the materials you should have on hand to properly take most substances safely
-An accurate scale that weighs to .001 (https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM) (most required)
-Marquis reagent test kit (https://dancesafe.org/product/marquis-reagent-testing-kit/)
-Fentanyl Test Kit (https://dancesafe.org/product/fentanyl-test-strips-pack-of-10/)
scale to weigh your powders, rocks, crystals, liquids, etc.

what should ricky do before trying out his recent purchase of MDMA?
Ricky should first weigh his product to make sure he didn't get ripped off, and then he should take an extremely minute sample of the MDMA and test the sample with MARQUIS-REAGENT. If the marquis displays the correct color after reacting with the MDMA (purpleish-black) then RIcky is a boss and purchased authentic MDMA. But what is extremely common is for your MDMA (or any powder drug) is that its cut with other chemicals to raise the dealers profit margin. or it could be a completely separate drug all together! Another note to add is that before ricky thinks about putting MDMA into his body, he needs to research to find out the dose that will work best for him.
But hey I like opiates what about fentanyl?
Lets say Ricky (Ricky likes drugs) buys some hydrocodone pills off the darkwebs, and they arrive to him and look legit and "not pressed" Ricky takes his reagent test kit, to identify the substance he was sold, it turns out to be an opiate according to the reagent, great! Ricky pops a couple and thirty minutes later he's collapsed on the floor and unable to breathe and is dying. Ricky forgot to fentanyl test his opiate and paid the price with his life! Don't be like Ricky just test your drugs before consuming.
What's the big deal with the scale?
Ricky has just ordered some of the infamous 4-aco-dmt, he receives his 1gram in the mail and immediately opens the bag sucks his finger dips it into the bag and rubs it on his tongue, Ricky has just ingested 145mg of 4-aco-dmt, mushrooms(comparable to 4-aco-dmt) are active at about 1gram so maybe Ricky won't feel too much. 20minutes later Ricky is in the most visually intense trip of his life he's on the middle of the floor in fetal position screaming and crying. Next time Ricky will take his fresh gram of 4-aco-dmt and he will research a common dose, and then weigh that dose using his scale and take the proper dose! (around 20mg for this compound)
Hoping everybody takes their drugs safely in the future! please feel free to share to grow the knowledge of harm reduction in our community!
