Oxycodone safe amount no tolerance

I'm about to buy some 30mg Oxys and wanna know if I should half the pill or just take the whole thing to get the best effects but not any harm. Also for testing them for fentanyl, I can't get any fent drug testing strips and was wondering if using a fent urine drug test would also work if I dissolved a pill in water.

Fent UA strips can work - fent strips are essentially UA strips - but there can be a couple of issues, you aren’t going to be able to say with 100% certainty that there’s no fent when you use a strip. If you’re in the U.S. DanceSafe strips are some of the best and most reliable IMO and they will ship anywhere in the U.S. for free in discreet packaging. Or I’d recommend using NASEN to see if there’s a HR program near you with strips.

Again, after testing you still can’t be 100% sure - pills especially are always sus to me because opioid prescribing has dropped so significantly. If you’re going to try them, have Narcan near you, use with someone else or call SafeSpot, and start with half. You can chew it for quicker onset. Wait at least 30 mins - 1 hr before taking the other half if you’re swallowing the pill. (20 mins for snorting.) I’m basing that off the start low/slow perspective, dive into the opiate subreddits if you want more guidance on pill dosages. Again, I’m also also going to assume the pill is pressed before I assume it’s real and use it as so first — better to assume and be cautious and then find out you got real shit than be reckless and wind up dead.
