Music festivals are offering to test the safety of people’s drugs, and police increasingly like the idea


Supporters of drug testing sites acknowledge that there is no safe level of drug consumption, and participants in those tests usually have to sign disclaimers acknowledging that. While the idea has recently gained more support, drug tests aren’t new and have also been tried in some parts of the United States. Drug-related hospital admissions fell 95 percent compared with the previous year — a trend researchers said was largely associated with the on-site drug testing trial. The research results were published months after drug-related hospital admission rates soared in certain countries. Globally, more than two thirds of all MDMA consumers interviewed for the survey said they would likely have used drug testing facilities if they had been available.
