Table 1 provides the urinalysis test results for the 4,847 arrestees, While PCP was tested for by an EMIT test only, cocaine, opiates and methadone were tested for by both EMIT and thin layer chromatography (TLC). (The EMIT test for opiates is not specific to morphine, the metabolite of heroin, and can detect the recent use of a variety of opiates. A specimen positive for opiates is most likely to indicate the use of heroin in this population, however.) Our analyses will use only the results from the EMIT tests, because we have learned that the TLC general drug screen is less sensitive for detecting recent use of these illicit street drugs (Wish et al. 1983 Wish et al. 1984). 

Water Test. It is also alleged by the street dealers, that a determination can be made as to how much cut is in the cocaine by placing the powdered substance in a glass of water. The cocaine will dissolve almost immediately leaving the remaining cut which normally will dissolve slower and not as clear.

In London any householder or apporeiilly responsible person can buy any drug as easily as if it were cheese and London is not full of raving maniacs, snuffing cocaine at every street corner, in the intervals of burglary, rape, arson, murder, tuu 1 tea so nee in office, and misprision of treason, as we are assured must be the case if a free people are kindly allowed to exercise a little freedom.

Figure 10.1 Drug enforcement agents in the Phillipines surround confiscated bags and vials of ketamine after an apartment raid in May 2005. The drugs had an estimated street value of 150,000 U.S. dollars. In powdered form, ketamine has an appearance similar to cocaine but a vastly different pharmacology.

The global interception rate was calculated on the basis of a global cocaine production of 980 mt in 2005 and global seizures of 756 mt at street purity, which, given a global average cocaine purity of 55 per cent in 2005 (as reported by Member States to UNODC in the Annual Reports Questionnaires), would be equivalent to pure cocaine seizures of some 416 mt. 

Frequently quoted estimates among enforcement agencies suggest that currently some 450 mt of cocaine (at street purity) are destined for the markets in North America and 250 mt of cocaine (at street purity) for the markets in Europe.3 Far smaller amounts actually arrive in these markets and are sold to the final cocaine consumers, as almost half is seized or lost in transit.
