Drugs/Drug administration

UV is simpler, screening test. IR is more complex, confirmation test.

Oral Transdermal Inhalation Injection (popping, intramuscular, intravenous)

Leaves, Hashish, Hash oil

Marijuana

Alcohol

Drop chemicals on drugs and look at the color to determine what kinds of drug it could be, screening test.

Chemical added to drug on a microscopic slide and a crystalline structure is formed, screening test.

Mixtures are separated into their compounds/ paper with ink spot is placed into liquid, screening test.

A plate is put into liquid and the ink spot will move up the plate while separating into its components, screening test.

A mixture is injected into a chromatograph where the stationary liquid phase separates the components , paired with mass spectrometry, screening test.

A beam of light is passed through a drug sample and the intensity of light passing through is measured, confirmation & screening.

A beam of light is separated into its components by a prism, then the intensity of light is measured by detectors and processed into a computer.

Radiation is passed through the sample to reach a detector, signal is amplified and converted to a computer, confirmation test

A beam of high-energy electrons collide with the material to produce positively charged ions which decompose into fragments which separate according to their masses

Gas chromatography can separate the drugs, while mass spectrometry can be used to identify them

Behave like a painkiller, examples include morphine and heroin

Chemically related to testosterone, build muscles

Marijuana, LSD, PCP

Snorted or injected

LSD

a sleep-inducing and analgesic drug derived from morphine.

Leaves, flowers, sticky residue produced for the plant (hashish)

All drugs are placed into one of five schedules based on the substances medical use potential for abuse and safety or dependence liability.

Volatile solvents, aerosols, gases, nitrates
