Abstract: We agree with Calle's [1] analysis that onsite pill testing could lead to an increase in the use of some drugs among a small subgroup of the population and that further research should be conducted to better understand the impacts of pill testing on people's behaviour. However, we do not believe that the data we published [2] supports Calle's assertion that onsite pill testing has a negative impact on this hypothetical subgroup of the population.
