US Federal Government Ends Fentanyl Test Strip Funding
A statement indicated plans to slash 10 regulations within the federal government. This action is presented as a response to perceived abuse in the federal system. The federal government decided a couple of weeks ago to stop paying for test strips. These strips are used by individuals consuming illegal drugs to test for fentanyl and other potentially deadly substances. This decision has been noted as inconsistent with other harm reduction techniques.
