Drug checking at events
Drug checking at events
The next events with checkit!
How does sample collection work at events?
You come to the checkit! tent with your substance and tell us what you would like to have tested. We need about 15mg of your substance (powder, crystals) or a few drops of the liquid or half a trip. If you would like to have a tablet analysed, you only need to rub off a very small amount and can take the rest back with you. You then put the sample in a small tube. We also ask you to answer a few anonymous questions about the sample. All data will help us with our research and the further development of our services. Your sample will be labelled with a number. You will later find the analysis result under this number on the results wall.
How long does the analysis take?
The analysis normally takes about 30 to 60 minutes. You can then check your result with your sample number.
How are the results announced?
Depending on the results of the analysis, the results are displayed on differently coloured notes on the results wall and stickers are added if necessary:
- "Expected result" (white label): Only expected substances were found in your sample (e.g. MDMA in an ecstasy sample).
- "Unexpected result" (yellow label): The sample additionally or exclusively contains another, unexpected active substance (e.g. caffeine in a speed sample).
- "Warning" (red label): The composition of the active substances or the active substance content is of particular concern to health. The sample contains, for example, three or more active substances or an unknown substance that cannot be identified at present.
- Sticker "High dosage": More active substance was found in your sample than would be expected on average (e.g. 180mg MDMA in an ecstasy sample).
- Sticker "Research Chemical": The sample contains a "new psychoactive substance". These have only recently come onto the market and are therefore often little researched. The risks and possible consequences of consumption are difficult or impossible to assess.
At the results wall, checkit! staff will provide you with more detailed information about the possible effects and risks of your sample and will also be available for further counselling.
