Cannabis Reagent Test Instructions
The cannabis reagent became the global standard once CBD products arrived. It comes in two parts, and the order matters.
Eutylone reagent testing results
Eutylone has been missold as MDMA since 2019. Unlike most cathinones, its reagent results are distinctive enough to catch it.
1P-LSD does not turn Ehrlich purple
1P-LSD, one of novel lysergamides, is known to not react with the Ehrlich reagent within the expected time frame (minutes). Despite that, some users report that their samples do in fact turn Ehrlich reagent pink / purple.
Ehrlich Reagent Test Instructions
Ehrlich is a yes/no test for indoles, and for anything sold as LSD it is the first reagent to reach for.
Robadope Reagent Test Instructions
Robadope is Simon’s inverted. Run the two together and the pair tells you which kind of amine you are holding.
Simon’s Reagent Test Instructions
Simon’s answers one question extremely well: is this a secondary amine? That is what separates MDMA from MDA.
Scott Reagent Test Instructions
These instructions remain for reference only. Lidocaine and benzocaine turn Scott the same blue as cocaine, so use Morris instead.
