And Bunk Police are always around (unofficially), usually them walking around the camping areaa. They are typically all decked out in "Bunk Police" shirts etc.
You’re right, but I didn’t see them last year. The last time I remember them being there was a few years ago (3 maybe). They weren’t offering any testing though iirc. Just a little chill space for people having a rough time. It’s been a while though, so correct me if I’m wrong here.
I believe all drug test kits besides fent tests are illegal in Florida

And given the guy who created this legislation is the president & could be for another 4 years, that's not gonna be any time soon.
I swear it’s like people think Presidents can just snap their fingers and get shit passed through Congress. Democrats straight up don’t have the House and barely have the Senate. Nothing is getting passed right now.
I do not believe they can do anything they want but it being his bill he wrote I feel now’s the best time to try and get something done about it/tell him how wrong it is.
They had a tent that hands out narcan and does education (testing kits are also illegal in TN....fent test strips are finally legal though) [https://betheplace.org/](https://betheplace.org/) is the company they have had the last 2 year
See this is why I’m confused. Some people are saying Dance Safe has been doing on site testing, but your comment contradicts that.
I’m just gonna offer to my camp neighbors and call it a day.
At booths right now handing out information, narcan and fent test strips (if legal in that state) is what companies like Dance Safe are doing. Some of them do come to campgrounds to test…however this is not in an official capacity.
Both are technically correct.
Dance safe had a “back room” to their tent where they tested something for my friend who was unsure what she had. Granted I was also purchasing a few kits so maybe that’s why they tested my friend’s party favors
First, I want to thank you for being such a cool human! Harm reduction is incredibly important to me as I lost my sister to an overdose. It could’ve been prevented. I’ll definitely make a stop by if you end up doing it! I went to both resonate and rendezvous this year and both had dance safe on fest grounds, festival goers lovingly refer to them as the “harm reduction tent” lol
Not sure how this will play out for Hula as it’s a much larger scene but Suwannee staff/local EMTS (childhood friends of mine!) are infamous for wanting people to party safely and just have an all around good time. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be cool with smaller scale testing in the camping areas ! 💖 see you in the woods!
I'm going to make some very bright and visible "I carry narcan" tags and would love to hand some off to anyone who is going to carry it. I always carry it but i realized last year it would be best to be clear/ visible and not just rely on happening to over hear a call for help. It's legal in Florida but i don't think they have great dispensing programs
They do offer free testing at the dance safe tent and bunk police tent. I used the free service on a ground score we found two years ago. They put it under a laser spectrometer and confirmed very quickly it was K and they also tested the inside of the original bag for fentanyl. Very thankful for these services even though I bring my own test kit to every festival I attend.
It is sad that so much testing is illegal. I'm a retired analytical chemist, and I would gladly donate time during Hula to help with something like this. Especially in FL, people doing this work would be prosecuted. The harm reduction would be greater than you think, I suspect. Many people would think twice if they realized what they were ingesting. Even with mushrooms, you might find they've been soaked in something completely different than psilocybin. Some of those chocolate bars you can by online have 4-Aco-DMT, rather than psilocybin. Last time I (in a professional capacity, and in a land far away) tested what was labeled "Heroin", it had just a smidge of that, with no less than 6 other potentially psychoactive substances. If you get something from someone you don't know well, do 1/8 of what you would normally do first as a test. Even with friends, watch how much they take, and gauge how they are responding. If you are at all hesitant, just don't do it. Have as much fun as you can (life is short), but don't shorten it unnecessarily.

dance safe usually has a tent
And Bunk Police are always around (unofficially), usually them walking around the camping areaa. They are typically all decked out in "Bunk Police" shirts etc.
This is what it looked like in 2022 at the Hula[dance safe tent](https://imgur.com/a/RkKmPEg)
Pretty low key

There were there, second row of vendors behind the food trucks near spirit lake/spirit care.
Surprised I missed them. Thanks!
I’m pretty sure they are on the map too. They always hand out all kinds of stuff.
They offer free testing, and will accept donations for your own kits. I have one from them on my desk right now
Right on. I’ve got one as well. I really only break it out once or twice a year. Hula is usually one of those occasions.
They were there last year and always offer free testing. They aren't open all night.

Fuck Florida state gov.
Thank you for linking your source! I’ll check this out.
It’s my belief until the Rave Act is overturned we won’t see testing at US festivals
Bingo!

Sadly nobody is really holding his feet to the fire on this

Bonnaroo had testing tents this year

You do not have to purchase from them. They will test anything for you. Just be discreet about it.
Somehow dancesafe managed to secure a mass spectrometer like ankors at shambhala and do in fact test with 99.99% accuracy at events they work at
I have had several substances tested on a mass spectrometer at Hula thanks to DanceSafe, at different years.
Yezzur. Not sure how they are allowed to do it but im here for it

After watching someone get narcan'd during Trey's set last year, I will practice harm reduction by keeping narcan on me at all times.
There was a group walking around last year with a mega phone and going row by row offering free test kits.

Dancesafe would test if you asked! They helped me
