#TestItTuesday (late): These are GCMS lab test results from DEA Licensed lab #ecstasydata, sometimes they come from international labs like #SaferParty and #CheckIt as well. A Heisenberg #ecstasy pill sent in from Meridian, MS that tested as mostly #caffeine, a traces of #methamphetamine Caffeine typically does not react on reagents, so there appear to be no color changes on the presumptive tests.

#TestItTuesday (late): These are GCMS lab test results from DEA Licensed lab #ecstasydata, sometimes they come from international labs like #SaferParty and #CheckIt as well. A Hello Kitty #ecstasy pill sent in from Meridian, MS that tested as mostly #caffeine, with #methamphetamine and #nethylpentylone. The reagent test results seem to detect mostly the #meth as caffeine typically does not react, and N-Ethylpentylone tests like most other #cathinones (yellow/brownish results). Meth and N-Ethylpentylone do not require large amounts to be highly active. Still not much information on the N-Ethyl. It's become increasingly common as an MDMA adulterant/substitute. It is highly stimulating and many users find it uncomfortable (and add that on top of meth's effects).
