- INTELLIGENCE ALERT -
ECSTASY MIMIC TABLETS (CONTAINING BZP, TFMPP, AND CAFFEINE)
IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN
The DEA North Central Laboratory (Chicago, Illinois) recently received nine exhibits containing a total of 1432 tablets of varying colors and logos, all suspected MDMA (no photos). The exhibits were acquired via two purchases in Detroit by DEA and Task Force personnel (details sensitive). The tablets were all approximately 8 mm in diameter by 5 mm thick, and averaged 288 milligrams (ranging from 269 to 303 milligrams). The colors and logos included yellow tablets with Air Jordan logos, purple/blue tablets with Adidas logos, pink tablets with teddy bear logos, and pink tablets with a man’s head silhouette logo. Analysis of the tablets via GC/MS and GC/FID, however, indicated not MDMA but rather a mixture of benzylpiperazine (BZP), trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), and caffeine. The BZP was not formally quantitated, but was estimated to be 84 milligrams per tablet based on the GC/FID chromatogram (average of three different tablets). These were the first submissions of Ecstasy mimic tablets containing BZP to the North Central Laboratory in several years; however, since these submissions, the laboratory has seen an increase in tablets containing BZP, both with and without MDMA.
