In the first-pass analysis in February 2021, this library-matched as N-Ethylbuphedrone, N-Ethyl-N-methylcathinone (structural isomers), *or* N-Hydroxy-MDA (MDOH). See notes below for updates.
Submission form comment: 'Since 2012 it's has been vacuum sealed in plastic, and stored in a freezer, except for a year when it was stored (always vacuum sealed) at various temps up to about 100F. Color and appearance are unchanged. There are a few little slightly yellow chunks in the fine white powder included.'
Jul 15 2021: The MDOH standard was received and the lab re-analyzed this sample. Sample does not contain any MDOH. Only N-Ethylbuphedrone (NEB) is present.
Mar 5 2021: The lab has identified this as NEB, after receiving reference standards for NEB and N-Ethyl-N-methylcathinone. There's been a further delay in securing a reference standard for MDOH; this sample will be re-analyzed again once the MDOH arrives, to confirm that it contains only NEB. Check back in 3-4 weeks.
Feb 8, 2021: Reference standards are available for N-Ethylbuphedrone, N-Ethyl-N-methylcathinone and N-Hydroxy-MDA and have been ordered, this sample will be re-analyzed once the lab receives them. Check back in 2-3 weeks for an update, as one of these standards will take longer than normal to arrive.
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.
