Drug Checking

The Zurich Drug Information Center (DIZ) offers regular drug checkings on site and at parties and festivals.

Drug checking includes a chemical substance analysis for psychoactive, pharmacologically relevant ingredients and a personal consultation. The service is acceptance-oriented, low-threshold, free of charge and is aimed at users of psychoactive substances.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept samples by post.

Date

‍Anappointment must be made in advance for drug checking. Further information on registration and the procedure can be found in the offer descriptions.

Dogs are not allowed in the DIZ. They must wait outside.

Consulting

Every substance dispensary is associated with a counseling session. Anonymized data on age, gender and consumer behaviour is also collected. Only one substance analysis per person and opening day is possible.

Counseling sessions without substance analyses are also possible by phone, email or at our premises outside of drug checking opening hours. Further information on our counseling services can be found here.

Age

There is no minimum age for us. Minors can also submit a substance for analysis and take advantage of the advice we offer. However, the DIZ is not a place for small children. If you are unable to provide your own care during the DIZ appointment, no substance can be handed in.
