Systematic identification of drugs of abuse I: spot tests.
More than 40 of the most commonly encountered street drugs were subjected to several spot tests. These tests were carried out in a special sequence leading to the construction of a flowsheet. Thus, with a limited number of simple tests, it is possible to identify tentatively or narrow down the drug. Since each drug investigated was subjected to all selected tests, whether such tests were developed for this type of compound or not, some unexpected and undocumented results were obtained.
