FAQ / Common Questions
Q: How many fentanyl analogs do these strips detect?
A: Wise Batch strips detect at least 24 different fentanyl analogs. Currently, no test strip on the market can detect every possible analog, so always use caution.
Q: What if I think the test strip result is wrong?
A: Test it again! You can use another strip in the same solution you made.
Q: Can I use test strips on IV drugs?
A: Yes, but always dissolve a small amount in water first. Never dip a needle or liquid directly. A negative result does not guarantee the substance is safe, so go slow and use caution. Find detailed instructions on how to test below.

Q: Can I test marijuana?
A: No, fentanyl test strips are not reliable for testing marijuana for fentanyl. These strips were designed to detect fentanyl in substances that can be dissolved in water, like powders or pills.
There are also zero verified incidents of fentanyl contamination in marijuana, and there is no strong evidence that fentanyl is being added to the cannabis supply. Most reports suggesting fentanyl in marijuana have not been confirmed by laboratory testing, or disproved after the initial report and are considered misinformation. Because of this, experts do not recommend using fentanyl strips to test marijuana.
If someone is concerned about safety, the best approach is to obtain cannabis from licensed, regulated sources.
Q: What should I do if fentanyl is detected?
A: If fentanyl is detected, the safest choice is to not use the substance at all. Fentanyl is extremely potent, and even a small amount can cause a fatal overdose. Before deciding what to do, take a moment to consider whether using it is worth the risk.
If you choose not to use it, make sure to dispose of it safely so it cannot accidentally harm you or anyone else. Do not share it with anyone under any circumstances, as even a tiny amount can be deadly.
Q: Won’t testing just destroy my drugs?
A: No, not necessarily. Many people worry that testing will ruin their substances, but that’s not always the case. Some testing methods allow the sample to remain in a usable form, and testing a small portion leaves the rest intact. The key reason to test is to detect fentanyl before use, which can save lives. BirdieLight’s guidance focuses on safety, not use. Our priority is helping you avoid overdose, not telling you how to use substances.
