Apr 26 2024: This sample is initially identified as Protonitazene, but the lab wants to rule out Etomethazene (5-methyl Etodesnitazene).
The mass spectra for Protonitazene and Etomethazene are similar, except Etomethazene has a small 363 ion peak. Our lab does not currently have a certified reference standard for Etomethazene, but one is available. It might be months before we see the results of any new analysis compared to the Etomethazene standard. Check back for updates.
DrugsData tests all psychoactive drugs including ecstasy tablets, powders, research chemicals, novel pschoactive substances, and other drugs through our DEA-licensed laboratory. Ecstasy/Molly tablets cost $100. Recreational drug powder/crystal/blotter costs $100. Pharmaceuticals, supplements and all others cost $150 per analysis.
Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?
The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.
DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.
