Lab comments:
Mar 2 2024: Sample contains voacangine, confirmed by comparison to certified reference standard.

Brown powder in capsule.
''Moderate psychedelic effect from 2 capsules, without visual hallucinations. A contemplative effect lasting 4 hours. Some visual distortion, no nausea even with head movement.''
Feb 5 2024: A second chemist (thank you, Y.) has weighed in on the identification of the tentatively identified substance (Voacangine) in this sample.

Jan 3 2024: Our lab does not currently have a certified reference standard for voacangine but one is available. The mass spectrum for this sample (pictured below, left) appears to be voacangine, lab will confirm after they run the standard. This could take a while. Check back for updates.

The mass spectrum for this sample is pictured below, left.
