Sometimes, the first
question is simply:
“What is this?”
An unfamiliar vape. A substance you don’t recognize. A private concern about yourself or someone you care about. You don’t always know where to begin.
Sometimes you want a little more information before a difficult conversation. Verifique lets you screen an item or surface for specific substances, without immediately asking someone to take a urine test.
The dry-reagent format means no hazardous liquid reagents to mix, no glass ampoules to break and no special neutralizer for disposal. The test components need no special disposal procedure; the sampled substance still needs appropriate handling.
A result is an initial indication—not a definitive answer about a substance, and never proof of someone’s behavior. Knowing what the test can and cannot tell you is part of using it well.
Understand the processStart with the right test
What do you need to screen for?
Compare tests for cannabis, cocaine, fentanyl and other target substances. Choose the product and pack size that fit your needs.
These kits screen substances and surfaces, not people. They do not establish purity, potency or safety to consume. Fentanyl+ is a multi-drug screen and cannot identify which target caused a positive result. It is not intended for drug checking or harm reduction.

Understand the tool before you use it.
Explore the resourcesWhat does a presumptive test tell me?
It provides an initial indication that a target substance may be present in the sample tested. It is not a conclusive identification. Follow the product instructions and obtain laboratory confirmation.
Do these kits test a person?
No. These kits screen collected substances and residue on items or surfaces. They do not establish whether a person has used a drug or is impaired.
Does the Cannabis test distinguish THC from CBD?
No. It screens for multiple cannabis compounds, including THC and CBD, and cannot distinguish which caused a result. It does not establish a substance’s legal status.
Can a test tell me a substance is safe to consume?
No. These tests do not establish safety, purity or potency. Fentanyl+ screens for multiple substances; a negative result cannot establish the absence of a dangerous dose. Sampled consumables should not be consumed, regardless of the result.
Where can I buy Verifique?
Explore two-test packs in the SwabTek online store, or check Walgreens for Cannabis and Cocaine kits. Product selection and store availability vary.
