Testiranje drog v Italiji: prvi odzivi s terena
Lorenzo Camoletto – BAONPS Project Manager

27. februarja 2016 je projekt BAONPS obiskovalcem partijev prvič ponudil storitev testiranja drog in sicer na psytrance partiju blizu Turina. To je bila priložnost za preverjanje zadovoljstva uporabnikov s storitvijo, sinergije med vključenimi izvajalci na terenu (zdravstveni delavci, psihologi, prostovoljci, ...) ter učinkovitosti RAMAN tehnologije v tem okolju.

Opozorila s testiranja drog na terenu - Italija
Elisa Fornero – BAONPS Project Italian Coordinator

Od začetka BAONPS projekta sta po italijanskih lokalnih mrežah in spletnih straneh zaokrožili dve opozorili:

  • OPOZORILO! 4-FA NAMESTO SPEEDA (AMFETAMINA)
  1. aprila 2016 je uporabnik  blizu Turina v testiranje prinesel vzorec, ki naj bi bil 85% čist amfetamin (speed), vendar je RAMAN spektroskopija pokazala na 4-FA.
  • OPOZORILO! METILON IN 4-FA NAMESTO SPEEDA (AMFETAMINA)

Na t.i. "free partiju", 27. marca 2016, je uporabnik blizu Turina v testiranje prinesel vzorec, ki naj bi bil amfetamin (speed), vendar sta RAMAN spektroskopija in GC-MS analiza pokazala, da gre za METILON in 4-FA.

RAMAN spektroskopija: prvi odzivi na uporabo na terenu
Alberto Salomone –  CAD Laboratory Supervisor

RAMAN se je izkazal kot izjemno učinkovit za identifikacijo NPS, posebej z vidika hitre odzivnosti in specifičnosti rezultatov. Analiza je mogoča skozi vodo, steklo in plastično vrečko, tako da se tehnik izogne direktnemu stiku s substanco. Glavno oviro trenutno predstavlja senzitivnost. Potrebno je opraviti še več analiz, vendar v tem trenutku kaže, da RAMAN ne deluje pri vzorcih, kjer je koncentracija sestavine < 5/10 %.

Testiranje drog v Evropi: spremljanje rezultatov projekta Trans European Drug Information (TEDI)

Tibor M. Brunt, Constanze Nagy, Alexander Bücheli, Daniel Martins, Miren Ugarte, Cécile Beduwe and Mireia Ventura Vilamala

Testiranje drog je strategija zmanjševanja škode, ki so jo implementirale nekatere države v Evropi. Uporabniki drog imajo možnost, da prostovoljno prinesejo svoje droge na kemijsko analizo sestave in količine. Uporabniki so opozorjeni o nevarnih rezultatih direktno preko sistemov za testiranje drog in preko opozorilnih kampanj. Mednarodni projekt Trans European Drug Information (TEDI) združuje podatke sistemov za testiranje drog.

  • Drugs tested covertly at a NZ festival: 57 per cent not what partygoers expected

A secret drug-testing operation has allowed more than 60 people to test their recreational drugs at a recent festival. Over the course of the evet, special teams tested 63 samples. Of those, 57 percent were not what the festival-goers thought they had. Of 22 samples taken of LSD, only six were real; a lot of people that said “I know this is MDMA, I tried it” were astonished discovering the result.

  • Infrared and Raman screening of seized novel psychoactive substances: a large scale study of >200 samples

The potential of IR absorption and Raman spectroscopy for rapid identification of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) has been tested using a set of 221 unsorted seized samples suspected of containing NPS. Both IR and Raman spectra showed large variation between the different sub-classifications of NPS and smaller, but still distinguishable, differences between closely related compounds within the same class. The limiting factor in the identification was the large number of active compounds in the seized samples for which no reference vibrational data were available in the libraries rather than poor spectral quality. This study demonstrates that this approach of detecting non-matching samples and then identifying them using standard analytical methods has considerable potential in NPS screening since it allows rapid identification of the constituents of the majority of street quality samples.

  • The Unexpected Effect of Decriminalizing Drugs in Portugal, Fifteen Years Later

Despite the dire predictions of policy makers, Portugal is an excellent example of what happens when drugs use is treated as a health issue not a criminal one.
