Introduction:
User
surveys
indicate
that
expectations
of
higher
drug
purity
are
a
key
reason
for
cryptomarket
use.
In
2014–2015,
Spain’s
NGO
Energy
Control
conducted
a
1-year
pilot
project
to
provide
a
testing
service
to
cryptomarket
drug
users
using
the
Transnational
European
Drug
Information
(TEDI)
guidelines.
In
this
paper,
we
present
content
and
purity
data
from
the
trial.
Methods:
219
samples
were
analyzed
by
gas
chromatography
associated
with
mass
spectrometry
(GC/
MS).
Users
were
asked
to
report
what
substance
they
allegedly
purchased.
Results:
40
different
advertised
substances
were
reported,
although
77.6%
were
common
recreational
drugs
(cocaine,
MDMA,
amphetamines,
LSD,
ketamine,
cannabis).
In
200
samples
(91.3%),
the
main
result
of
analysis
matched
the
advertised
substance.
Where
the
advertised
compound
was
detected,
purity
levels
(m
SD)
were:
cocaine
71.6
19.4%;
MDMA
(crystal)
88.3
1.4%;
MDMA
(pills)
133.3
38.4
mg;
Amphetamine
(speed)
51.3
33.9%;
LSD
123.6
40.5
m
g;
Cannabis
resin
THC:
16.5
7.5%
CBD:
3.4
1.5%;
Ketamine
71.3
38.4%.
39.8%
of
cocaine
samples
contained
the
adulterant
levamisole
(11.6
8%).
No
adulterants
were
found
in
MDMA
and
LSD
samples.
Discussion:
The
largest
collection
of
test
results
from
drug
samples
delivered
from
cryptomarkets
are
reported
in
this
study.
Most
substances
contained
the
advertised
ingredient
and
most
samples
were
of
high
purity.
The
representativeness
of
these
results
is
unknown [-]
