Resources

This page offers information and external links that may be useful when working with psychedelics and other substances.

When engaging with psychedelics or chemical substances, it’s essential to use drug testing services or test kits. This process verifies the purity and composition of a substance, helping you make safe and informed choices regarding its use.

We collaborate with a local laboratory that specializes in comprehensive drug analysis using FTIR Spectroscopy and Paper-Spray Mass Spectrometry.

FTIR, or Fourier-Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy, measures the amount of infrared radiation (a specific type of light) absorbed by a substance. The unique chemical properties of each substance affect how it absorbs and reflects light. When light interacts with the substance, some is absorbed while the rest is reflected. The reflected light serves as a chemical fingerprint of the substance, allowing technicians to compare the spectrum against a library to identify the present substances.
