@platuhpus@CBCDay6 Thanks for your interest! We are not public and likely won't be for a long time if ever. But follow along and hopefully you can support us by buying a device when it gets to market or telling your friends and loved ones.
Thanks @CBCDay6 for having Dan on this morning to talk about DoseCheck! It's past time to democratize drug checking in Canada to stop the overdose crisis. If you missed it, here's the clip:

prohibition means that youre prohibited from knowing what youre putting in your body - this is about poisoning not overdose, because you cant know your dose
drug checking = know your dope
