The main reason to use DrugsData to test an herbal product is to check whether it has been adulterated or substituted with a chemical that's not on the label, as is the case with this one.
Our program is targeted at analyzing and detecting street drugs, and is not the best option for getting a full-alkaloid profile of a mixed-plant product. Mixed-plant herbal supplements are complex in their chemistry and can produce difficult-to-interpret results in GC/MS.
Phenibut was clear and unmistakeable as the primary psychoactive drug in this sample, even given the complexities of natural products analysis.
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 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.
