Drug checking services offer one of the only means of consumer safety in the context of an illegal and unregulated street drug supply. Drug checking is a low-barrier harm reduction service that allows clients to anonymously submit their drug samples to be analyzed and receive personalized, fact-based information about their samples.

The main goal of drug checking is to empower people who use drugs to make informed decisions about the substances they intend to use. Drug checking also provides public health with timely information about what is in the drug supply.
