RAB & sheshe's point is that making these strips available is a half-ass band-aid on the problem & probably won't save many people, because:

1) If you're addicted, you're probably also poor, and
2) You can't test before you buy, and
3) You don't get a money back guarantee

So if you find out later the drugs are laced, you're screwed because you have an addiction, no more money for drugs, and potentially dangerous drugs in hand, that you *need* to take. Also "just because there's fentanyl in it doesn't mean there's too much fentanyl in it" is exactly how most addicts are bound to think in that situation. All due respect, that's 'the point' of what you're responding to.
