(Matt Duguid/CBC News) Saskatchewan s only two safe consumption sites, where visitors can use substances with supervision, have received rapid testing kits to detect potent drugs that may be mixed into the substances people are using.  The training and equipment, provided by the Saskatchewan government, will allow staff to test for fentanyl and benzodiazepines in about five minutes, if the visitor consents. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more toxic than other opioids, and together the two can be even more dangerous.
