Partnering to Save Lives!
During the 88th Texas Legislative Session in 2023, Texas Against Fentanyl (TXAF) worked relentlessly to champion the legalization of fentanyl test strips—a vital tool in preventing fentanyl-related poisonings. While several landmark bills were successfully passed, including those requiring fentanyl education in schools, the effort to legalize fentanyl test strips ultimately fell short.
Fentanyl test strips (FTS) are an essential tool in the fight against fentanyl for several critical reasons:
- Early Detection of a Lethal Substance
Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid—up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Its presence in counterfeit pills, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other substances often goes undetected. Test strips allow individuals to identify the presence of fentanyl in drugs, helping them avoid accidental exposure.
- Prevention of Overdose and Death
Accidental fentanyl poisoning has become a leading cause of overdose deaths. With fentanyl test strips, individuals can make informed decisions about whether to use a substance, reducing the likelihood of consuming a lethal dose. This is especially important given the rise in non-opioid drugs contaminated with fentanyl.
- Empowering Harm Reduction Efforts
Fentanyl test strips are a practical harm reduction tool, giving people the ability to test substances in real time. By empowering individuals to identify fentanyl, these strips help mitigate risks without requiring immediate abstinence—a key principle of harm reduction strategies.
- Public Health Impact
Increasing the accessibility and use of fentanyl test strips can lead to fewer overdoses, reduced strain on emergency services, and lower mortality rates. By addressing the crisis at the individual level, test strips contribute to broader public health goals.
- Education and Awareness
Test strips open the door to conversations about the dangers of fentanyl and the importance of being cautious with any non-prescribed or illicit substances. They serve as an educational tool, raising awareness about the risks associated with fentanyl contamination.
- Support for Law Enforcement and Advocacy
Advanced test strips, like those with high reliability and evidence-preserving capabilities, can also support legal and advocacy efforts by providing a method to detect fentanyl in seized substances. This information can help address the broader drug epidemic and guide policy changes.
