Reference dosage
Reference ranges from third-party harm-reduction databases. Individual response varies enormously — start lower than you think.
| light | 50mg+ |
| common | 100mg+ |
| strong | 200mg+ |
| heavy | 300mg+ |
Reagent testing
| Marquis | No reaction / faint |
| Mandelin | No reaction / faint yellow |
Adulterant detection: Wakefulness agent — poor colorimetric reactivity. The main substitution risk is adrafinil or armodafinil, which reagents cannot distinguish.
No reliable colorimetric test. Pharmaceutical-grade or COA-verified sourcing recommended.
