Forensic Chemist - ANS✔✔ BS in chemistry, focus on analytical chemistry
prepare samples:
-drugs
-arson and explosives residue
-unknown trace evidence
choose analytical tests
predominantly lab work
45-100 k / year
Controlled substances schedules - ANS✔✔ 1
2
3
Schedule 1 controlled substances - ANS✔✔ no currently accepted medical use
high potential for abuse
heroin, LSD, Marijuane, MDMA, peyote, quaaludes
Schedule 2 controlled substances - ANS✔✔ drugs with a high potential for abuse but with a
limited currently accepted medical use
cocaine, meth, methadone, oxycontin, ritaiin, adderall
Schedule 3 controlled substances - ANS✔✔ moderate to low potential for physical and
psychological dependence
vicodin, ketamine, anabolic steriods, tylenol 3, testosterone
,Opiates - ANS✔✔ derived from the opium poppy
morphine (early severe pain releiver)
codeine (used as a cough suppressent)
CNS DEPRESSENTS
extensively used in pain control
Derived Opiods - ANS✔✔ products of lab chemistry, may start with the natural or may start
with synthetic
diacetlmorphine - heroine
hydrocodone - vicodin, lortab
oxycodone - oxycodin, perocet, percoden
buprenorphine - subutex, suboxone
fentonyl - actiq, durogesic, lazanda
methadone - dolophine
Opiate Evidence - ANS✔✔ whiteish powders
dark, clay bricks
pills
patches
Heroin Paraphennalia - ANS✔✔ INJECTION
-drug
-spoon
-heat source
-syringe
,SMOKING
-long pipe
-long strip of foil ("chasing the dragon")
Presumptive Opiate Identification - ANS✔✔ CAN HAVE FALSE POSITIVES
will confirm results with another test
step 1: white test (MARQUIS TEST)
step 2: red test (MECKE TEST)
step 3: blue test (MANDELIN TEST)
Benzodiazepines - ANS✔✔ DEPRESSENTS
anti-anxiety
anti-convulsive
muscle relaxants
derive from a BENZENE AND DIAZEPINE RING
drug names end in -pam
Benzodiazepine Evidence and Identification - ANS✔✔ can look up pill number and color and
shape (pill finder)
if main brand - will say what it is on the pill
Cannabinoids - ANS✔✔ natural extracts of cannabis
-synthetic compounds
-depressent/ calming
-psychoactive ( not usually full on hallucinations though)
-stimulant (stimulates appetite and growth)
, Natural Cannabinoids - ANS✔✔ THC (psychotrophic, painkiller, anti inflamatory, anti microbial)
CBD (releive anxiety, convulsions, depression, inflamation and nasea, sedative, sleep aid and
muscle relaxant)
CBC
CBG
CBN
THCV
CBV
Cannabis Evidence - ANS✔✔ joints/blunts
bongs
dab rigs/ dab nails
edibles
Duguenois - Levine Reagent - ANS✔✔ presumptive test for CANNABIS
put plant material in test tube - turns PURPLE = cannabis present
Presumptive tests for Cannabis - ANS✔✔ dugenois levine reagent
microscopy for cystolithic hairs of cannabis fibers
Amphetamines - ANS✔✔ STIMULANTS + EUPHORICS
-stimulants = feel good
-euphorics = love everything
prescribed medications
clandestine manufacture
