This sample arrived in an envelope with two other samples and three submission forms. The submission forms were not fastened to the corresponding samples.
In this case, because the samples were distinctly different from one another, the risk of mismatching samples and forms is extremely low. However, this highlights the importance of securely and unambiguously coupling a sample with its own submission form when sending in samples to DrugsData.
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.
In this case, because the samples were distinctly different from one another, the risk of mismatching samples and forms is extremely low. However, this highlights the importance of securely and unambiguously coupling a sample with its own submission form when sending in samples to DrugsData.
