A recent electronic music festival in Mexico City featured the Checa tu Sustancia initiative, which offers free and anonymous drug testing to attendees. Managed by the Instituto RIA, this effort aims to provide insights into substance safety, focusing on public health and social justice. Volunteers test samples for harmful adulterants and provide information on safe drug use practices, including hydration and overdose prevention options like naloxone. While some attendees show curiosity, others express concern due to the criminalization surrounding drug use.
The Checa tu Sustancia initiative reflects a shift in approach to drug use, emphasizing public health and harm reduction over criminalization and security.
At the festival, the drug testing booth provided free, anonymous testing to help users ensure the safety of their substances, reducing risks of overdose and harm.
