I got blisteroacks of oxy pills that are a common mexican brand. Felt weirdly overstimulated with one and got a little noided that they may have something besides oxy in them. Given that they are in blister packs I sorts doubt they are pressies but it made me wonder: are all the common reagent tests that one can use to test for various amphetamines , opioids , and psychedelics bullshit, or are they accurate enough to be helpful?
So far the only study on this I can find is one by the NIH saying that these tests aren't sensitive or specific enough for MDMA or mda. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14594341/ But this isnt oxy or cocaine or amphetamine. And it's just one study.
I see reagent tests being promoted by harm reduction groups which seem fairly evidence based, often, so I sort of started to assume that they're good without doing the research myself.
Also, would it be at all common for pharma pills from a second world country to have stimulants in them as a contaminant? I know India and Pakistan are known for contamination but a) mexico seems better , b) the issues are more along the lines of heavy metals or improper dosing than actual different drugs and c) it doesn't seem that economical to substitute most stims for oxycodone, definitely not cocaine, I guess amphetamine is a little cheaper
Bottom line, is it worth the money to get these tests if one is a frequent user ? Are they misleading or useful?
