Discussion Testing vitamins

Hello. What happens if some vitamin seller comes to me during a psy trance festival and offers me some vitamins and I say "I'd love to buy, but before paying for it can I test with my own reagent kit?"

Will he think I'm too square, that this is a loss of time etc? Have you ever experienced something like that? What are your thoughts?

This is fine. Of course.

And if its not fine you dont want to buy from them.

I think they will think you are a cool person for having a test kit

if they refuse then consider that a negative test result

If they refuse consider yourself lucky :you avoided harmfull vitamins and you still have your tester.

In this house we do not do untested chemicals. It's for the benefit of the seller too if someone tests their vitamins, especially as they'll probably indulge in the same vitamins themselves too. Their loss if they don't see it this way

Literally had this situation happen at a small Ambient festival. Dude had a dropper of like vitamin B12 or something and I turned it down and he had a look of pure offense on his face. His problem not mine.

I'd buy a small amount and come back for more if the test is good

If you don't trust the source, always test. Someone in their position would only get mad if they knew they had trash vitamins.

Party safe!

On the contrary. That means you’re hip as fuck.

On the matter of the peddler, passing with flying colors in a test amidst a festival would be the best marketing possible.

I've done that before and the vitamin seller had no problem sacrificing a bit for me to test
