TEST KITS FOR INDIVIDUALS & ORGANIZATIONS

“When we decided to add drug checking to our menu of services, we looked in to all of our options. Partnering with PA GROUNDHOGS gave our drug checking program a fast and effective launch. We were up and running within two weeks, with results turned around in as little as 3–5 days—fast enough to get real-time information back into the hands of the people who need it most. This has directly shaped our on-the-ground harm reduction services by deepening our understanding of what's actually circulating in our local drug supply, helping us respond to community needs before they cause harm."

Jose Caraballo, Executive Director The Kind Collective, Project Director, NJ GROUNDHOGS

AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF HIDTA’S LIBERTY MID-ATLANTIC DIVISION HAS ENDORSED P.A.G.’S MODEL, NOTING: “THERE IS NO RISK OR LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH DISTRIBUTING PA GROUNDHOGS KITS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO USE DRUGS WHO MAY USE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN A LAB-BASED DRUG CHECKING PROGRAM.”

THAT SAID, DRUG CHECKING OPERATES IN RELATIVELY NEW AND UNCHARTED WATERS.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL NUMBER OF JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE DECRIMINALIZATION POLICIES FOR DRUG CHECKING PARTICIPANTS, POSSESSION OF ILLICIT DRUGS (EVEN IN SMALL AMOUNTS) REMAINS A CRIME IN ALL 50 STATES. PA GROUNDHOGS HAS BEEN WORKNG WITH MEMBERS OF THE. MEDICAL COMMUNITY TO REFORM PENNSYLVANIA’S DRUG CHECKING LAWS TO INCLUDE DECRIMINALIZATION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF ILLICIT SUBSTANCES FOR DRUG CHECKING PURPOSES. HOWEVER, STATE & LOCAL ATTITUDES ON DRUG CHECKING VARY.

WE ADVISE THAT YOU RESEARCH YOUR STATE’S DRUG CHECKING LAWS BEFORE ORDERING KITS.
