The organisation's advice to partygoers following them on social media has been to #TakeQuarterAndSipWater, and #CrushDabWait, to help those taking drugs have time to see the effects of a small amount first.
The pioneering organisation also revealed they weren't invited to test drugs at Creamfields and Reading and Leeds festivals, which also took place this weekend, but they have confirmed they will be on site at Parklife festival in Manchester next weekend.
The Loop typically invites drug takers into their tent for a non-judgmental discussion about ways to minimise harm, but this year the drugs testers have temporarily been moved backstage and weren't in direct contact with punters.
They tested drugs that were seized by medics, welfare, police and security teams. MANDRAKE, a Manchester-based licensed harm reduction laboratory, were also testing samples of drugs this past weekend at the Manchester Pride festival.
Measham's fears follow two drug-related deaths across the country since clubs and large-scale events reopened.
And in one isolated incident in Bristol, 20 people were taken to hospital in one night earlier in summer, all believed to have taken high strength drugs in circulation.
Follow The Loop to find out more about their services and follow their updates. Joe.co.uk has contacted Reading and Leeds and Creamfields festivals to find out why The Loop weren't invited on site this year.
