ZooL Posted November 19, 2022 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? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZooL Posted March 25, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strontium Dawg Posted March 25, 2023 Don't know the answer to that one, but anyone who enjoys Kava should be aware it can trigger false positives for MDMA on cheap urinalysis tests. Not sure bout oral swabs yet.. Sorry for the post hijack... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saguaro Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited March 27, 2023 by saguaro clarifying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZooL Posted November 23, 2023 Also dea in lions tale, will that trigger a cannabis result? Is there some way to use FOI or somthing to find out exactly how and what is being used in road side testing to make some copy of it i wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottenjonny Posted November 26, 2023 You would just ask here https://www.righttoknow.org.au/ They will most likely ask you for $30 though. I paid the money for my police file. was interesting reading. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZooL Posted November 30, 2023 Thanks, I have sent them an email querying about wording and whether such a request is likely to succeed, depending on their reply if there is one i will give this a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
