I feel like i may have asked this before but cant remember the answer or find the post if i did and have done a bit of googling but got no clear answer.

Will cathinone trigger a positive result for the amphetamines they test for with the road side swabs?

The reason I asked this is that I've heard the synthetic stuff that is like the compound in khat but with a meth like tail added will trigger a result for amphetamines.

 

I think I need to find myself a corrupt cop and get my hands on some of their lollipops, is all so hard to find clear Info on this, is it 4 hours or 4 days? Will x y and z trigger a positive. I guess I should just smoke crack and inject heroin to be safe.

this is a good question, i've wondered this too.

 

I'm guessing, but i'd say there's a fair chance of false positive on an RDT.

 

one of the primary metabolites of amph and methamph is 4-hydroxyamphetamine, which is further metabolised into norephedrine. Cathinone shares the metabolite norephedrine. I'm guessing they swab for 4-hydroxyamphetamine in the saliva tests, it's possible norephedrine produces false positives

 

Then again, I doubt chewing khat or driving after chewing khat is illegal, but I have no idea
