/r/drugs I found a purple bag of white powder on the ground, no way of identifying what it is. Just wanted to share

It's probably amphetamine with maybe a small chance of it being coke. I wish it was heroin... purple dime bag btw pretty soft and not rocky or shardy at all. like one or two clumps. I'm not familiar with cocaine at all. mildly familiar with amphetamine

Not going to try it, no idea what it could be so that doesn't seem like a good idea. Really want to though. Post your comments in the comment section below, please like and subscribe so I can go back to supporting my heroin habit....

Update: just smelled it and I'm pretty certain it's coke after that. It's got a pungent gasoline/chemical like smell sort of. I guess more like a chemical smell. I've never smelled coke but I looked it up an that's what it smells like I guess. strong chemical odor. It was pretty strong like I just wafted a bit of air to my nose from the top of the open bag and I could smell it.

Update: apologies for no pic, I'll post one later today when I have time

Edit: Here https://anonimage.net/gallery/p8lzLrEIew is a link to the pictures

Edit: I'm also prescribed suboxone right now, that's a perfectly safe interaction with coke I assume but I just thought I'd check

Edit: turned out to be coke, had a little, saving the rest to sell hopefully

Just boof that shit homie let your anus do the testing


[26 Points] JediMimeTrix:

It's the kids that stole the pack in the other post, they're baiting you with a bag to see what the substance is.

Rail it don't be a pussy. God doesn't let bitches into heaven.

Looks like coke with some sort of cut in it. Since it's likely street coke it's probably only 40-50% coke at most, and the rest will be some shitty amp cut to drive redose urges combined with some kind of benzocaine or something similar to give people a numbing sensation.

I don't do cocaine, I just like the way it smells...

and this is how everyone should treat any bag of powder they procure off a dnm


[3 Points] PorlTash:

Throw it away, if you didn't buy it, don't take it

Where the fuck do you guys live?? Finding drugs on the streets like pennies. The only thing I can find on the ground is my self esteem đŸ˜©


[1 Points] nugymmer:

Could be fentanyl, could be icing sugar, could be cornstarch, could be dried semen...for all we know it could be anthrax...

Throw it away, and don't touch it, or we might have a death on our hands. We don't want people dying. Please THROW IT OUT.


[2 Points] nugymmer:

Don't touch it, or else you yourself might end up in a much bigger bag. If you're going to use this shit, please contact a mortician so that you can arrange something in case you end up dead.


[1 Points] None:

First and foremost, do a lip check.

Why not just buy a test kit?

So any of the standard “Dance Safe”-style drug tests—Marquis, Mandelin, Mecke, et al—won't conclusively tell you what that is, even if you did have a test kit (they presumptively test the substance which establishes either the sample is definitely not a certain substance, or the sample probably is the substance).

If you have access to formaldehyde and sulfuric acid by some weird chance, you could technically make your own Marquis reagent test, but I would not advise it. However:

“The United States Department of Justice method for producing the reagent is the addition of 100 mL of concentrated (95–98%) sulfuric acid to 5 mL of 40% formaldehyde.”

But again, you would need to have GC-MS (Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry) done to identify it 100% (plus its impurities & adulterants). It's just not worth the risk to your health trying it, if you want my $0.02, but I sense you're young, obsessed with heroin almost precisely because you know you shouldn't be, and will most likely do it anyway
 See?

Not going to try it, no idea what it could be so that doesn't seem like a good idea. Really want to though.

So, if this were something that someone were absolutely dead set on doing (pun?) then that person would be wise to at least use titrate dosing. Meaning to say, that person would start with the smallest fragment of a piece possible and place it perhaps onto the gums or under the tongue. Cocaine numbs the gums, but this first piece might be too small for even that. However, titration could help rule out a super potent opiate (like fentanyl), arylcyclohexylamine (like 4-MeO-PCP), or psychedelic (say for instance, DOM or DOI).

Next that person would try just a tiny bit more, after a good hour or two in between trying these. In time, the effects, if any, should become evident.

That person would also be wise to have a good friend around as a “trip-sitter” in case it turns out to be rodent poison, the dried semen of a sociopath, or both. But in any event they could notify the right people in the event of an emergency (so obviously this person doesn't snort the mystery dried semen anthrax powder with you, but instead stays relatively sober as your would-be vanguard).

Come on, OP, get it together. Never stick to only one drug; constantly change up habits, and dodge dependency – that's what leads to addiction. Pain-killers and downers cause physical dependency and the withdrawal can be lethal, not to mention unpleasant. Psychological depency is all just mind games people play on themselves. Habits are a thing that can be good or bad, but ultimately controlled. Keep your habits from become addictions by varying your interests.

I'm also prescribed suboxone right now, that's a perfectly safe interaction with coke I assume but I just thought I'd check

Now I'm not even sure if you're trolling, but for the sake of anyone who doesn't know the answer to this, I'll take it straight on
 “Perfectly safe” doesn't apply to this interaction, no. “Most likely you'll be safe-ish” is a better answer. Better still would be: “it's called a speedball and they can be fucking dangerous; they're not exactly known for their safety profile."

You see, when you combine central nervous system (CNS) stimulants with CNS depressants—or i.e., uppers and downers—your heart could go into arrhythmia, thrown into spasms by mixed signals from the brain telling your system to go slow and go fast at the same time.

Or in the case of long-duration opiates coupled with short-duration stims, like cocaine, what has happened in the past is that the cocaine/stim keeps them alive through a massive opiate dose, but when it wears off, the opiate dose proves to be too much and it's lights out for champ champ.

And generally speaking, dead? Not a good look.

TL;DR: Not worth the shitty buzz if it is coke or a similar stim. Most other things would be dangerous to eyeball, but its packaging leads me to think it's more than likely safe-ish. But if it is semen, anthrax, carfentanyl, or worst of all: Bromodragonfly? You are fucked, man.

At least post a pic.

Or just rail the shit and let us know if you OD.
