DanceSafe Xylazine Test Strips Are Here!

Xylazine test strips (XTS) are now available for purchase in the DanceSafe online shop! These strips help people detect xylazine — a powerful veterinary sedative sometimes found in fentanyl or heroin — making them an important new tool for opioid harm reduction. Another tool for safer use — one more step toward keeping each other alive. What Is Xylazine? Xylazine (“tranq”) is a non-opioid sedative found mixed with illicit opioids in some parts of the U.S. and Canada.

We’ve Upgraded Our Everyday Milligram Scale – Meet the Gemini-50

At DanceSafe, we know how important it is to have harm reduction tools you can trust – it’s literally our whole thing. That’s why we’ve updated our everyday milligram scale to the Gemini-50, a precision digital milligram scale designed for accuracy, portability, and supporting safer, more informed choices.  This will be especially appreciated by anyone who’s had a “memorable” night (for better or worse) thanks to the imprecise art of eyeballing or the quirks of a meh, it’s-alright scale. Continuing our commitment to refining our offerings and staying curious about how we can better serve our community, we evaluated multiple digital milligram...
