It's important that samples submitted to this testing program be no more than 200 mg of material (ideally 20 to 50 mg). Keep in mind that just enough to *half* fill a capsule is more than enough. There is no advantage to sending more material, and samples that are too heavy may be delayed or require additional payment.
A reminder that DrugsData is not allowed to provide quantitative results for samples it analyzes, because our lab is constrained by rules set by the US DEA. Only active chemicals (including active substances commonly found in cocaine, like tetramisole/levamisole, procainamide or phenacetin) can be reported.
Aug 5 2021: The Procaine in this sample was originally listed as Procainamide due to an error in a existing spectral library. With reference standards of both, we were able to verify that the original identification was wrong. This error has been corrected above.

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.

Inert diluents (inert cuts) can not be reported even if they might be present. This means 'purity' can't be confirmed, either.
