  > I imagine testing would be useful for pill-takers at festivals And many people bring test kits to festivals and raves and clubs and bars already. So this is 100% a proven solution for light recreational party usage. I agree with skepticism about addicts (especially someone living on the street, etc)

    You are talking about harm mitigation, and when options are made available there is very enthusiastic take-up from even street addicts. If you create a safe injection center people will come and use there, so there is medical care. If you distribute drug test kits they will use them. If you offer clean needles they will use them. We don’t offer them in most places because (a) nobody wants a safe drug use center near them because drug users will come to it and (b) a really despicable and unfortunately common attitude that harm reduction is bad because it keeps drug users alive.
