This is a fact that organizations like the Bunk Police and DanceSafe have acknowledged — far ahead of the actual policies within the US — and are attempting to help navigate the issue in the safest, most beneficial way. The Bunk Police describes themselves as a “vigilante drug test kit company,” and joined with a team of fellow harm reduction drug testing and awareness figures on Reddit for an informative AMA about their research and upcoming projects. Here are some of the most important pieces of information we took away.
In their opinion, a change in drug laws would mean a resurgence in safer, classic psychoactives and a decrease in potentially dangerous research chemicals.

They have had some crazy, and slightly dangerous encounters thanks to their line of work.
