1. "A fentanyl test strip could have saved his life."

I have often questioned the effectiveness of those test strips. The thing is, illicit drugs are not cheap, and most dealers don't have a return policy. So when a user finds the drugs they purchased are contaminated with fentanyl, what do they do? Throw away their drugs and their high?

While I am not opposed to the test strips, I almost wonder if it's giving people trying to combat the overdose deaths a false sense of security.
