From Grand Rapids, Michigan on 6/25/2024
Assumed to be fentanyl
3 major substances detected:
diphenhydramine
4-ANPP
fentanyl
But we found lots of contaminants too, with traces of quinine + heroin + acetaminophen + caffeine + bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate. Trace substances in small quantities are usually harmless, but can sometimes cause health problems. Unexpected sensations may be due to these.
Fentanyl is potent and the amount changes by batch. If you weren't expecting it, consider getting test strips online or from a harm reduction program. Carry naloxone (Narcan) to reverse overdoses. Don't use alone so someone can help if you go out.
In mid-June 2024, a new chemical was identified by FTIR-based drug checking harm reduction programs on the West Coast. It appeared nearly simultaneously as far south as Los Angeles, as far north as Seattle, and as far east as Michigan. The substance was putatively identified as bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate, with industrial use as a UV-blocking component added to plastic. The compound is not a controlled substance, and had not previously been identified as a substance with euphoric properties. Its cardiac toxicology had been researched in the early 2000s, growing out of concern from leeching out of plastics used in pharmaceuticals.
Subjective reports from participants suggest substitution for fentanyl. This is unexpected. We are investigating the emergence of this substance, especially given its rapid spread.
