NMR is the only way or HPLC. I had meh and magic both tested via NMR and NMR can def tell the difference and has for me and my friendsFair enough.
I just am curious to get to the bottom of this from a technical point of view I guess. At the end of the day: theoretically we’re talking about a substance and that has a particular molecular structure or formula. So assuming that such is a given: what else could be the problem (which I guess is the OP’s point).
A good exercise, purely from an academic point of view, would be to obtain said substance as manufactured by any one of those chemical suppliers that I mentioned above. But then some sort of controlled testing would have to be done so as to ensure that the placebo effect isn’t a factor. And I cannot see this being practicable unfortunately.
Other than the above there’s nothing I can contribute myself. I think I had one of these decades ago, do remember the typical and “correct” effects exactly as described by many here, but that was that i.e. not my thing and never happened again.
