Drug check­ing involves the chemi­cal analy­sis of illegal drugs. This analy­sis can identify psychoac­tive substances and deter­mine their quantity in the sample.

The goal of drug check­ing is to warn poten­tial users about substances that are partic­u­larly harmful to health, reduce the risks of overdose, and enable users to make informed decisions about drugs.

In Switzer­land, Austria, France, Spain, and Germany, drug check­ing is both legal and backed by local author­i­ties. Government-funded organi­za­tions provide these services, acknowl­edg­ing the reality of recre­ational drug use. Instead of pursu­ing legal actions, they focus on helping individ­u­als reduce poten­tial risks associ­ated with drug use. Your safety is their priority.

Safer highs is driven by personal experi­ences and one mission: to promote drug check­ing. We value informed choices and prior­i­tize the well-being of those in recre­ational drug use. While no drug use is entirely safe, drug check­ing can save lives. Join us in spread­ing the word and break­ing the stigma: Safer highs for safer lives!
