Drug Info Center offers free facts
The ASUO Drug Information Center attempts to answer
questions about drugs, not make judgements.
The center, located in room 333 EMU, contains one of the
most comprehensive drug libraries on the west coast with more
than 200 books (some of which may be checked out), pamphlets
research data, articles and other information. The center also has
access to area medical libraries and information systems
The Drug Information Center runs research projects on drugs
It sponsors University-accredited courses on psychoactive drugs
where students hear from some of the foremost experts in the
field.
The center's most valuable service is its Drug Analysis Project
The project serves as a vehicle by which an individual can get a
drug analyzed - anonymously - with no hassle from the law
And it's free.
According to center statistics, 70 per cent of the drugs
analyzed turn out to be impure. Samples alleged to be 86 per cent
r
cocaine have turned out to be nothing more than procaine, a
common dental anesthetic. Samples alleged to be pure THC have
turned out to be mostly PCP, a horse tranquilizer. Mescaline has
turned out to be common street acid. Psilocybin the same.
The center provides an anonymous vehicle for individuals to
submit drugs for analysis by Pharm Chem Laboratories, a Palo
Alto, Calif, firm that is federally licensed to carry out analysis of
illegal street drugs.
To get a sample analyzed, individuals can contact the center by
phone (686 5411). They will be given a code number. Then they
must mail a sample of the drug they want analyzed to Pharm
Chem. The lab teiis the center the contents of the drug, and the
center publishes the results with the code number so the in
dividuals will know which analysis is theirs. The center urges that
no persons come to the center personally when in possession of
an illegal drug as they would be putting themselves and the staff
in serious legal jeopardy.
