TAP No. 55 - Test Your Stash: Drug-ID Column Debuts

Introduces ‘Test Your Stash’ by pseudonymous columnist Oz Y. Mandias, the first in a planned series on drug identification aimed at readers wary of adulterated street drugs. Explains the Marquis reagent color test (a formaldehyde/sulfuric-acid solution) and provides a reference chart of the color changes it produces with various substances, framing it as a basic harm-reduction tool rather than a purity guarantee. A short wire-service item notes phone company billing troubles making the rounds.

First of all, there are a few basic ground-rules one should
be aware of if you're into psychedelics. "THC" is almost
always PCP (a.k.a, “angel dust"). THC is somewhat difficult
to synthesize and expensive and there is a good market. Cn
the other hand, PCP is easy to synthesize, cheap as hell to
make and the market, until recently at least, was limited
(due to reputed bad side-effects). It doesn't take a genius to
figure out the result, given the lack of FT. C. control over
the unscrupulous big-time suppliers. The same can be said
of stuff sold as mescaline (unless you live in the SouthWest)
and psilocybin, unless you have a good connection. These
are usually acid or our friend PCP again. It can be said,
however, that acid is usually acid, though as to quality.......
Bearing this in mind, there are a number of simple tests
you can perform to ascertain what exactly your head is getting
or at least what it's not getting. The easiest of these is the very
useful Marquis test (seen in "French Connection") which uses
a testing reagent consisting of 20 drops of formaldehyde (avail-
able in drug stores) dissolved in 10 ml concentrated sulphuric
acid (from drug stores, gas stations or school labs), A drop
of this reagent is added to a drop of water on a piece of glass
in which is dissolved a small amount (a few grains or frag-
ments) of the substance to be tested. (Note : Quantities and
’ ao
A
% ages in this and.the following tests need not be exectly cor-
rect.) Any color changes in the liquid are then noted and com-
pared with the chart. These tests are not absolute preof but
they are good enough for our purposes.
OTHER TESTS
:
p-DMAB Test: Warm a small amount of the substance with a
1 G solution of para-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (available
from a chemical supply house) in concentrated sulphuric acid
in a test tube. Note the color. Purple means LSD and related
epds., DMT, psilocin or psilocybin. Yellow means procaine
or PCP. Red means THC or cannabis,
Beam's Test: Add a small amount of the substance to a solu-
tion of 5 % potassium hydroxide in methanol. A red color
indicates cannabis or THC,
Zwikker's Test: To a 1 to 2 ml solution of unknown substance
* in methanol or ethanol add 1 to 2 ml 1 % solution of cobalt
nitrate (or acetate) in methanol or ethanol. Now add 1 or 2
flakes or pellets of sodium hydroxide (lye). A deep violet-
“blue color indicates barbiturates. (The color persists from
1 to 10 minutes depending
on cpd.) .
Ob.
Strychnine Test: It can be said that for’all intents and purposes,
there is no strynine in acid and never has been. If you're para-
noid though, take a . 5 % solution of potassium dichromate in
60 % sulphuric acid and add a drop of this to a small amount
of the unknown on a white tile. Purple changing to red indicates
the presence of strychnine.
.
Shen's Test : This test will give a purple color for phenyle-
Phrine, phenylpropanolamine and ephedrine; which are commonly
sold as speed and won't get you off. To one drop of a 1 % sol-
ution of the unknown in vinegar (diluted with 1/2 water), add 1
drop of 1 % copper sulphate followed by 1 drop 8 % sodium
hydroxide (lye). Note the color.

LETTERS FROM READERS
Dear TAP,
During the’ Christmas break Ig t tugether with 2 friend
of mine who's also an electrical engineering student and likes
ripping Bell, He knows all the latest about the new Black Be
detection system which is available to all early ESS
and can be used on all older systems. Cn a partial
the testing piece of hardware checks the line with 4 lot of low
frequency signal. This works because; 1) You protably have
a resistor leaking some current through to your micrvphone
element. This 10K ohm or so is-not enough to trip the billing
equipment but is less than the Megohm or more on an open
line. 2) Your Black Box capacitor lets the low frequency sig-
nal through great! Your
the AC fine
and isn't nearly as well hidden in the stray capacitance of the
phone line as.your line resistance can be. Note; they do this
test when your phone is ringing, if they can pass the low fre-
quency signal down the line, they will Suspect you are Black
Boxing. So far we don't know exactly how many ringing tele-
phones can be chee!
se,
bul supposedly, a lot since
Black Box detector need only check your
line during ringing and with ESS these kind of "maintenance"
checks are easy to implement, Als, the exact frequency used
is not known. They probably do a DC resistance check and
could do an AC check anywhere from 9 - 60 Hz above that and
the tone could be heard on the line. Will someone who lives
in an area where they know Bell does this kind of detection
try and see if there are extraneous low tones on the line during
ing. Further, Bell may also do the testing with a high
tone during ringing (the noise won't bother you
then) which makes it really easy to measure your line capa-
citance.
Now some ideas! First, I don't think they can get a good
yes-no result. They might get
a signal to monitor your line
to be sure. Their measurement capability is limited by two
major factors; 1) The stray capacitance between the line from
msulation losses, connection points, etc. 2) The ringer capa-
citor, it should hide your capacitor pretty well. Remembering
how it's hooked in, it must be a pretty big capacitor to let the
20 Hz ringing signal energize the ringer coils. But note, when
you hook on your Black Box, you've series connected your
1 Mfd or so with a big 2 or 3 Mid so the total capacitance is
less than either. Further, the ringer coils have some induc-
tive reactance making the effect of your capacitor even larger.
By knowing what a standard capacitance should be, any reading
less than half is VERY suspect! What can we do about it?;
Several modifications should help you hide. 1) Put your Black
Box in the circuit after the point the ringer is in. This leaves
the ringer capacitor on to
"swamp" the line. 2) Use a bigger
capacitor, then the series effect is not so noticable. This
sounds funny I know, but look at the circuit, if this is how
the phone company does it, then that's the cure! At about
this point I realize that the damn ringer capacitor throws a
monkey wrench into the works. Some investigation should
be done on what effect it really has. Think about it and let
ire know what you've heard. We've got to help the thousands
ci Boxers in Amerika tromp this menace!!!
Further, the TAP mugs and T-shirts are great!

Dear TAP,
Until last year I was a regular receipient of your reports
and now due to a situation of some urgency I find it necessary
to personally respond. A certain Pacific Telephone investiga-
tor, Charles Fincher, recently paid a visit to a friend of mine,
accompanied by several San Francisco police, who with a
search warrent, seized a Black Box after monitoring his phone
for an indefir :te length of time. Fincher was overheard saying
that this was the fifthteenth raid this year in San Francisco.
A felony citation was issued because of an alledged $200 plus
"crime" and legal procedings begin next week. Would you be
so kind as to inform your readers of the situation in San Fran-
cisco and send me any pertinent advice as to a legal defense.
Crash
Dear TAP,
Thought I should pop this note in. Less than five hours
after I read the article on radar detectors I got nailed by one
of N.J.'s finest(?). He had one of the new moving radar units
installed in his car and he was
more than happy to explain how
it works (at least how he uses it) after he wrote out my ticket.
It seems that the State Police in N. J. have been installing
the new moving radar units into as many of their cars as
possible. Most of the units have been bought with the help of
2 federal grant. The unit consists of a transmit/receive
antenna mounted on a swivel base and a readout unit which
contains the electronics for the computations. The unit takes
into consideration the speed of the police vehicle and depending
‘on the direction of the antenna (front or back) either subtracts
it from or adds it to the speed of the approaching car. It has an
alarm system that can be preset for any speed up to 99 mph
and any speed above the set speed will sound the alarm. By
the way, the trooper that nailed me had his set for 64 mph
on a 50 mph road. Of course local cops don't give you near
as much ofa
break as that, but so far very few of them have
the new units.

Dear TAP,
Since Ma claims to now have the ultimate weapon against
phreaking, in the form of a computer program, how about a
different method of getting into the system? You wouldn't
even need a telephone. Anyone familiar with ham radio knows
these guys have their own satellite through which they can talk
to other hams over distances not normally possible with the
frequencies they're using, The equipment for using these
satellites isn't too expensive and anyone who's built any of the
projects in TAP can build his own, So what am I driving at?
The phone company also uses satellites as well as micro-
wave (which can be tapped into), If some bright soul could
come up with the frequencies, orbits, and access codes (if any)
for these phone booths in the sky, it would be possible to
phreak away without ever a worry about getting nailed. I would
imagine that some of the frequencies are in the UHF range,
which means that if the person using the satellite is using a
halfway decent antenna, there's virtually no way to track down
the originating signal. Besides, the FCC is too busy chasing
HFer's on CB. Ma Bell ain't the only one, either. There are
dozens of those birds up there and many of them could just
as easily be put to good use as serving the Megaporkers who
currently enslave the world.
A note about the ham satellite: from what I've read, the
thing was built and paid for by donated time and money and
it's
its use is set by cooperative arrangement, making it just
about the nearest thing I've seen to people's technology. So
don't fuck it up!
Enclosing a buck. Hope it'll help. (You bet yer ass it does!)
