Fentanyl Test Strips

Fentanyl is a deadly opioid that drug traffickers sometimes put in heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and other "street drugs." It also appears in fake tablets, pills and gel capsules that look like prescription drugs. We distribute free test strips, measuring scoops and simple instructions that you can use to detect fentanyl in a drug. Call us at 585-753-5300 to make a confidential request for supplies.
