Drug checking results in Washington state: "Sold as" details

Key to analysis and interpretation of drug checking results is grouping samples by what the community members expect the drug to be before trying (or testing) it. We use this "sold as" report to group samples into these (not mutually exclusive) categories:

Fentanyl: Items for which the community member expects a fentanyl to be present.
M30: Items sold as "Oxycodone" or "Percocet", often blue pills marked as M30. The community member may or may not think the pill was legally produced, and this category includes items reported as "Mexi blue" or just "blues". Often the person also reports expecting it to contain a fentanyl, e.g., "Fentanyl" and "M30 Pill (Percocet, Perc30)" are both indicated. Does not currently include items reported specifically as oxycodone.
FentanylM30Pill: Items sold as either fentanyls or M30 or both, in pill form. For shorthand we refer to this as "fentanyl pills."
FentanylPowder: Fentanyls in powder or rock form. As processing methods appear to vary, "powder" now includes loose powders as well as more compressed "crystal", "rock", and "chunk".
Benzo: Items sold as any kind of benzodiazepine: "Xanax", "clonazepam", etc.
Coke: Any form of cocaine.
MDMA: Items sold as "MDMA" or "Molly", also includes the closely related "MDA".
Heroin
Meth: Items sold as methamphetamine.

Throughout these pages, unless otherwise specified, "fentanyls" refers to fentanyl itself and/or any of the fentanyl analogues, which may include precursors thought to be potentially psychoactive.
