Drug Checking Services 2026: The Loop, WEDINOS & the Rest
The Loop is expanding, Energy Control is still active, and WEDINOS keeps testing in Wales. A status update on the services that check your drugs.
The Services That Check Your Drugs
Free, anonymous drug checking is one of the best harm reduction tools that exists. Here is where the major services stand in 2026.
The Loop (UK)
The Loop is the strongest story of 2026. In July 2026, leafie profiled the service and how it brought onsite drug checking to UK festivals like Glastonbury, Boomtown, and Parklife.
The Loop runs FTIR analysis at events, giving people a result in minutes and a chance to hand over anything dangerous.
WEDINOS (Wales)
WEDINOS, the Welsh service that lets people mail in samples anonymously, remains active. Its most recent major press coverage came in 2024 and 2025, when BBC reporting tied its work to warnings about deadly drugs in fake medicines and spice laced vapes.
Energy Control (Spain)
Energy Control, a Spanish program that has run for years, is still active. Its site shows updates through May 2026. The service runs lab analysis and onsite checking across Spain.
DrugsData (US)
DrugsData, the US lab testing project run through Erowid, remains online and accepting samples. It did not generate news coverage through 2026, but the service is still the main public lab checking option in the United States.
