One dose unit of blotter, tip of blue and beige Rick Sanchez head visible, white background.
The cocaine detected in this sample is most likely from contamination during handling before the sample was sent to the lab (from cocaine coming in contact with the blotter). Even a speck would be enough to give a ratio like this 4 to 1 (cocaine to LSD).
Feb 6, 2020: The Ehrlich reaction is unusual, and we think it may be because the reagent itself is oxidized (gone bad). We ordered a fresh Ehrlich reagent and will be redoing the Ehrlich next week. *This does not impact the GC/MS result, which will not change*.
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.
