The month-long pilot project in Weston-super-Mare offers anyone over 18 to have their drugs analysed anonymously at a clinic run by charity Addaction.
Roz Gittins, from Addaction, said: "If people know what's in something, they can be better informed about the potential harm of taking it."
The Home Office said it backed the plan to allow research to be carried out.
Testing the samples is expected to take about 10 minutes and users will be asked to fill in a questionnaire to "allow harm reduction advice to be tailored to their needs".
