Was sold pure DMT off the dark net and cops tested it as having heroin

Someone I sold some dmt to was arrested and searched and they found the DMT. They didnt tell the police what the substance was, so they tested. They told me the test they used the 9 panel test and came back to having heroin. The vendor is a trusted vendor with a reputable history, so I was surprised by this. I have messaged them but the internet has not been working the best. And I can't really just sit and wait for an answer, so I was wondering anyones input?

Possible cops lied because they have no idea wtf DMT is. (just my 2 cents)

a friend of mine was arrested awhile back with a bunch of MDMA and DMT. apparently the cops tested both with 9 panel field test, and both the MDMA and the DMT showed up as heroin. I had consumed both batches of those drugs prior, and definitely werent' heroin. so maybe the tests are just ghetto as fuck.

but could also be old cop trick where they accuse you of something they know you didn't do (i.e. possess heroin) out go hopes you'll be like "what the fuck? thats not heroin its DMT" and thereby admit guilt.

in my friends case, literally NOBODY involved knew what DMT was, and I live in a somewhat progressive, drug-friendly location (least for the US). not the prosecutors, judge, attorneys, etc.

Those field test dont sound very reliable. They seem to operate more like "if its white-ish, IT MUST BE COCAINE", and if "its brownish, IT MUST BE HEROIN".


[2 Points] ArcticAG:

City police departments aren't doing advanced chemical analysis.

They do a simple reagent test that involves mixing a chemical or series of reactionary chemicals and looking at a color chart that shows the color of reaction for the most common drugs - cocaine, heroin, mdma etc.

What most likely happened was the color reaction created by the reagent test most closely resembled the color for heroin's reaction and was thus falsely identified.

The field tests are not accurate. They'll send off for GC/ms and can tell you exactly what it is. They'll do this to use as evidence so should find out with absolute certainty

I know someone that was caught with NBOMe blotter and the cops tried to say it was MDMA. they're retarded is all..
