Very curiously, the same submitter sent two samples that both tested via GC/MS as the same chemical (ethylone), yet they seemed to have very different reactions to the field tests. It is possible the first sample was much weaker/diluted, but we do not have a clear explanation for why these two samples would have such different reagent color reactions.
The lab ran the field tests a second time on a different day and found the field tests trended toward the same look after waiting a long time (normally color reaction is recorded after 1-5 minutes, this was after 15 minutes).
Send in a sample for testing
DrugsData tests all psychoactive drugs including ecstasy tablets, powders, research chemicals, novel pschoactive substances, and other drugs through our 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.
