Trends Qualude Mimic Tablets (containing Diazepam)

[turkeyphant]

Report from Microgram showing fake Qualudes. Don't really see the point of going to all the effort for diazepam though...

The Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division (Pikesville) recently received 12 round, white tablets with a “LEMMON - 714” logo on one face and half-scored on the opposite face, apparent Qualudes (see Photo 4). The tablets were seized in Lexington Park by the St. Mary’s County Bureau of Criminal Investigation Narcotics Unit, pursuant to the investigation of a home invasion. Psilocybe mushrooms, hashish, and a large number of marijuana plants were also seized. Analysis of the tablets (net mass not determined) by UV/Vis, GC, GC/MS, and FTIR, however, indicated not methaqualone but rather diazepam, probably diluted with maltose (diazepam not quantitated). The last known submission of these diazepam-containing Qualude mimic tablets to the Forensic Sciences Division was over five years ago.
