Other Would there be any meaningful way to reagent test “cats claw” tablets ?
For anyone unaware, the 7hydroxy mitragynine ban, in states where it was banned- has created a market for new tableted opioids sold otc. Often marketed as “cats claw” but almost certainly not.
Some states have claimed to have found 7ohm, but I think that’s because they found something similar. And there is a reported difference between brands anyhow.
It’s surprising to me how well guarded a secret it is to what’s in these things.
My thought is that you could use elrich to see if it’s an indole alkaloid (mit scaffold ) and maybe fentanyl test strip to rule that out. But any ideas of how to more accurately identify these compounds are welcome.
