Summary
AI-generated from the abstractMicrocrystallopic tests can identify several hallucinogens—LSD, NN-diethyltryptamine, NN-dimethyltryptamine, bufotenine, psilocin, psilocybin, and STP—by producing characteristic crystal forms. The authors recommend using these tests alongside other analytical methods for forensic identification of these substances.

Abstract
Abstract Microcrystallopic tests for LSD, NN-diethyltryptamine, NN-dimethyltryptamine, bufotenine, psilocin, psilocybin and STP are described. The tests are recommended in conjunction with other analytical techniques if applied for the forensic identification of hallucingens.
