THREE TYPES OF ECSTASY MIMIC TABLETS CONTAINING COCAINE,
METHAMPHETAMINE, AND MDA IN FLORIDA
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Orlando Regional Crime Laboratory (Orlando, Florida) recently received three different sets of tablets, suspected MDMA. The first exhibit was submitted by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and consisted of 18 round pink tablets with a thin white coating on one side and a thin pink coating on the opposite side, total net mass 6.1 grams (see Photo 12). The white face had a dollar sign ($) logo, while the pink face was unmarked. Marquis color tests of each layer gave no reactions; however, the acidifed cobalt thiocyanate test gave a blue color for the pink layer and a very pale blue color for the white layer. Analysis by GC and GC/MS indicated not MDMA but rather a mixture of cocaine and pseudoephedrine. The second exhibit consisted of 2 large (about 2 centimeters in diameter), round, green tablets with a "777" logo (see Photo 13). Analysis by GC and GC/MS indicated not MDMA but rather a mixture of methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). The third exhibit was submitted by the Apopka Police Department, and consisted of 10 unusually thick (about 8 x 8 millimeters), poorly pressed, crumbly round tablets (some in pieces) that were an unusual “sandwich” type design, with a thick green middle section and a white layer on each side, total net mass 4.8 grams (see Photo 14). Both white faces had a six-point star logo. Again, the Marquis color test gave no reaction while the acidified cobalt thiocyanate test gave a blue color. Analysis by GC and GC/MS indicated not MDMA but rather a mixture of cocaine, caffeine, and aspirin. The first two exhibits are the first ever submissions of cocaine-containing tablets to the laboratory; however, the laboratory has previously received several submissions of combination methamphetamine/MDA tablets (though not with "777" logos).
Nice coke pills :D
