More About KnowDrugs Drug Checking
Check the profiles of more than 200 drugs for educational purposes: Stimulants like MDMA and Amphetamine, depressants such as Alcohol and Benzodiazepines or psychedelics like 2C-B, LSD and DMT.
KnowDrugs provides you with drug education harm reduction advice, focusing on MDMA / Molly / Ecstasy and other psychoactive substances. Knowing about the wanted and unwanted effects of drugs, their duration, interactions and risks helps you to make more informed decisions, reduce risks and reflect upon your drug habits and consumption behaviour.
DRUG CHECKING, PILL WARNINGS & DRUG ALERTS
Search for drug name, substance or location, to find drug alerts from nearby and learn about their ingredients and dosage strength to avoid overdose and particularly dangerous cuts (e.g. PMA).
Drug checking or pill testing is a way to reduce the harm from drug consumption by allowing users to find out the content and purity of substances that they intend to consume. This empowers users to make safer choices: to avoid more dangerous substances and combination and to use smaller quantities.
If you don't have access to professional drug testing services, looking up recent drug testing results can still help you make a more informed decision about your consumption.
HARM REDUCTION & RESPONSIBLE DRUG USE
Harm reduction aims to minimize the harms associated with recreational substance use. The harm reduction approach follows from the idea that substance use is a high-risk activity that innately entails the possibility of injury, addiction, and death. Therefore, the best strategy one can employ (outside of avoiding use entirely) is to take appropriate measures to mitigate its potential harms.
KnowDrugs highlights the harm-potential of more than 200 substances and demonstrates strategies on how to reduce the harms associated with the consumption of drugs.
KNOWDRUGS CAN ALSO HELP YOU TO:
- learn how to spot and react in case of an emergency, take care of someone experiencing a bad trip at a party or festival
- find a free and confidential counselling service which accepts you and your personal choices, and helps you develop the right strategies and competencies if you want to change something about your consumption behaviour.

Pretty awful app. The warnings for drugs doesn't tell you why there is a warning on them. Also doesn't list the many variations of pills, blotters etc. Does tell you dose, area and duration.

Really them love this app. It has a lot to know about drugs. Shares a good drug awareness. Also it is very actual. It's also good and easy designed. Even a person on drugs would get this app.

Easy to use 5 star alot of drugs 4 star and there are some fake propaganda and not enough facts on some of the drugs like cannabis saying you can overdose when there has never been one you have to injest over 1000 pounds in 15 mins to so and there isn't lean or spice on the drug list and forgot to add all of cannabis effects but some drugs you got spot on so I give this app a 6.5 outta 10 needs alot more work

Information is very inaccurate. Filters don't work at all. Dosage is inaccurate. This app could kill someone.

True and honest information. This is honestly one of the best things to happen ever in a app. To the person who made this. YOURE SAVING LIVES. Having non bias true honest info readily available is truly just a amazing thing.

This app is AWESOME but something I would like is to explain the difference between ways of consuming, I know there is the graph but I think that difference could be more explained and that'd be cool and really useful

This is an amazing app! Very user-friendly, with a lot of important resources. I especially love the database of chemicals. Much-recommended for anyone who uses psychoactive drugs.

I like it a lot, it contains many substances, but some fairly common substances are still missing, like 4-CEC, ADB-FUBINACA and salvinorin A. Other than that, besides some small grammar mistakes here & there it's a very good app. 5/5 do recommend!

Since the last update you need to use your browser to get more information about substances; in my opinion it was better before, where you could check about new heard substances. But now there are more substances, what I appreciate. Also is the drug library always at the latest status.

Ok, Hi! First off, This app is just fantastic! I can always watch out where the closest drug use has been taken! I love the chemistry part and the added information of the drug! I am actually really interested in drugs (Of course I won't take any) and how it affects you mentally. Even though I am only 13 years old, I learn alot already, how a type of drug can have an effect on me. Since now it might slowly be the stage where people always take drugs, I will always have a cautious eye!

Awesome app, but pretty disappointed at how lacking the data can be. It's not the app nor would fault the developer on this... but ideally it would be much better if it was a mandated standard to post results online after a drug gets tested, EACH TIME this is done. This would give local users ability to at least peek at the current market status of dope availability & be more careful than what is possible without this access.

This app is a FANTASTIC resource for ppl using or abusing any chemical substances, and meets ppl where they are. It has photos, drug info, et.al. It centers around safety and info. My favorite part is the emergency situation guide. It is written for real people in real life, including how to take care of someone having a horror trip, CPR steps, and even a button that says "call ambulance". Well done, devs.

Useful app, one piece of important information You could include is the difference in doses through different delivery methods. Many drugs are far more active when snorted, and even more so when injected. Edit: just noticed you have for some substances already, would be great to see that expanded.

The app is great for learning about all types of drugs. I like how it also lists its soures, but the app can be improved on. For example, almost every single drug I see is MDMA. Mix it up! Not every drug is MDMA. Also, it would be cool if you could go to the Substances tab and click on a substance that has a drop down on all drugs affiliated. Like if I click on Nicotine, there would be a dropdown list of all drugs containing nicotine.

keeping up a good job. though shouldn't removed the long high bars for the categories, imo, quite handy if they worked. make the whole area active. Tripping people don't like two things: - scroll phone text for long - tap into huge buttons that don't work. rid of these two things and the crown is your, m8

Great, great app, my go to for drug research. Helped me find out a lot about things i've been planning. This helps me find exactly what i want 9/10 of the times i use it and i rarely have to turn to google. Only query is that when I'm scrolling through substance it can become really laggy and amd glitches all over the place causing it to take much more time to find a substance than it would otherwise. I'm using a sony xperia xz1 running android 9 if thats useful :)

Gives unprompted and unwanted notifications, imagine you're showing somebody your phone who doesn't know about your drug habits and a notification pops up. Decent application other than that and will revert to a good review when these are removed, or made opt-in only. EDIT: I know how to disable notifications system-wide but by that point it could already be too late. I maintain there should only be opt-in notifications, it's as simple as prompting the user when they first launch the application.

Data is inaccurate or incomplete. Provides sources, but when going to the corresponding page, information can be completely different. For example, for DeeEmmTee, the app reports that PsychonautWiki says there is unsafe interaction with SSRIs, when no interaction is listed at that source. I really appreciate this app's vision, but if the info is inaccurate, it can actually lead to greater harm.
