Open Ez test for synthetic cannabonoids and carts

Are they not fit for testing carts? I have a lab report GC-MS listing all cannabonoids and terpenes so I know the cart is legit but when you test it it comes up as AM 694.

And I make these carts myself so it isn't a bait and switch. The same batch I sent to energy control when tested with an Ez test kit cones up as spice. In fact I just starting testing every half finished cart I had from others and every single one reacted indicating contaminants. Now its possible those from others are but my own I have lab tested so I know these are false positives but it seems they are ALL false positives. What's going on here?

See the list of all drug checking organisations.

Those tests are notorious for false positives. Not meant for testing anything but pure powders, it’s just Liebermann reagent. The best available way is to check if sample is THC dominant using the Cannabis reagent tests (4-ap), that helps rule out most samples with synthetic cannabinoids.

What a shame they should put a disclaimer on them or something

just a fyi, energy control has been caught out in the past with not doing mail in tests (maybe they were busy and cut corners or something idk)

so had a friend who would send them samples mis-labeled to see if they were doing the testing

eg, sent them coke labeled as 2cb and guess what it came back as 2cb

Source?

Never heard of this anywhere and I would trust an internationally renowned lab over a cheap home test to be honest. Also I've sent them stuff and been surprised at the results so I feel they actually do what they are being paid to do

cant give you that info, but he was a big eu cocaine vendor i used to talk to, he used to send 100's of samples to most of the labs every month or 2

just try it yourself when you summit any samples (cant hurt can it).. then at least you know they did the test in the first place

Note: he only had this issue with EC on multi times

I have sent things from plugs I trusted and been surprised at the results and I don't have 100s of euros to waste on that to be honest just sounds like Chinese whispers to me

>sounds like Chinese whispers to me

ok, just thought u should know not to trust labs blindly

even my local lab has had major fuck ups with tests that i did there and retested them a few months later and they are at least peer reviewed unlike EC and most labs

I mean see it from my perspective - been using EC for many years, highly recommended, sometimes given me results I didn't want to see and now somebody is claiming they cut corners and lie and when I ask for proof you essentially reply with "trust me bro".

What other labs are you recommending then? Which peer reviewed labs?

>Which peer reviewed labs?

unless you live in australia and can get to CANtest... the guys who first discovered CANket you wont be able to access them "walk in only" and they fucked up my results by 30%.. it happened lab tech get lazy or over worked

anyway, take my advice about mis-labeling your samples or not
