Storefront Update: New Partner, Same Mission

We are excited to share that DanceSafe has entered into a new partnership with Transparency, an evolution of Bunk Police’s work. Many of you may be familiar with Bunk Police as another leading organization providing drug checking at events and distributing test kits. Both DanceSafe and Transparency are committed to the harm reduction, access to drug checking tools, and providing life-saving services. Our harm reduction distribution program will now be handled by Transparency. They will manage our retail and wholesale storefront so we can focus on outreach and education. This new partnership offers much more flexibility for DanceSafe while ensuring that...

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. It slows breathing and heart rate, increases the risk of overdose, and causes serious skin wounds. Because xylazine is not an opioid, naloxone does not...

We Updated Our Fentanyl Test Strip Instructions!

We gave our fentanyl test strip instructions a glow-up! Same strips, smarter steps — all based on science, community feedback, and real-world use. Why the update? At DanceSafe, we’re committed to evidence-based, community-informed harm reduction. After years of seeing how people actually use our test strips in the wild, and with guidance from Dr. Marya Lieberman (who helped develop the strips), we decided it was time for a refresh. We also teamed up with a working group of researchers, chemists, harm reductionists, and manufacturers to help standardize instructions across brands so that testing is more consistent, no matter which strips you’re working with. What’s new? ...

Choosing the Gemini-50 Milligram Scale: What It Took to Earn Our Trust

When we decide on a new tool for our shop, we don’t settle for what looks good on paper. We put it to the test until we’re confident it’s something we’d trust ourselves and recommend to you. This scale testing project? Let’s just say it took over our lives for a bit. Wake up and weigh, weigh all day, then sleep and dream weigh. It got weird… but in the best, nerdiest way. Our goal was simple: find a milligram scale that could accurately weigh very small quantities — especially milligram-level doses of powders — in conditions similar to those our community...

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...
