TEST THE ENTIRE PILL

The incorrect information in the video is that a person only needs to test a little bit of a drug to detect fentanyl.

Here’s the truth: it is always necessary to test the entire pill.

This is because of the chocolate chip cookie effect:

  • Fentanyl is not evenly mixed throughout a substance.
  • Only testing part of a pill could give a false-negative result.
  • It’s like taking a bite of a chocolate chip cookie with no chocolate chip.
  • The entire pill must be crushed and dissolved in water to be effectively tested.
