Alright I told ya’ll I’d try it out, so here’s my results. (Bunk Police, Dancesafe send me free reagents for the adverts lol.)
I received a new batch of Ketamine, initial reports from trusted individuals says it’s good K. Has that typical “needlepoint” crystal structure.
The dust after weighing was used to test since it was already powder. The first drop went blue fairly quick but once drop “B” went on I could already see some purple forming.
As I stirred the purple grew and covered the whole puddle.
As I know it K is the only drug to go purple. That said my purple was slightly different than the pictures. Mine was much like a lavender, there’s seemed darker. But this could be down to this batch likely being S-isomer. I also used a very minimal amount. Purple is purple.
Next is the cocaine. All I had was purified freebase. Powdered best I could and reacted same as above.
The blue upon contact with the coke was slightly different than the initial blue from the first drop. Overall it was a positive reaction but felt the difference in shade from the initial blue to the final blue was too close to be worthy of use as a stand alone reagent.
My reaction to this new reagent. I like it. A little more labor intensive, gotta now carry toothpicks too but up until now the best we had was the Mandelin. I’d say at the moment K is becoming a much safer drug to use.
Now to test this reagent on as many different substances as possible to ensure nothing else goes purple.
