As the owning and managing organization, Erowid Center covers server space and bandwidth costs, and invests hundreds of staff hours per year on DrugsData administration, answering questions, and maintenance.</p> <p>In 2016, Erowid Center dedicated over 700 staff hours to this project, and paid $67,500 in direct costs to the analytical toxicology lab that conducts the testing, in addition to $8,100 in other lab-related direct costs.</p> DrugsData subsidizes the costs of testing that are not covered by co-pays. Currently, lab-related direct costs are US$150 per sample analyzed.</p> </div>  <div id="Sidebar"> <div class="SidebarModuleTop"> <div class="SidebarModule"> <h3>Send in a sample for testing</h3> <p>DrugsData tests all psychoactive drugs including ecstasy tablets, powders, research chemicals, novel pschoactive substances, and other drugs through our licensed laboratory. Ecstasy/Molly tablets cost $100. Recreational drug powder/crystal/blotter costs $100. Pharmaceuticals, supplements and all others cost $150 per analysis. </p> <a class="SidebarButton" href="/send_sample.php"><span>Learn more</span></a> </div> </div> <div class="SidebarModuleTop"> <div class="SidebarModule"> <h3>Support DrugsData</h3> <p>Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?</p> <p>The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.</p> <p>DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.</p> <a class="SidebarButton" href="http://www.erowid.org/donations/donations_ecstasydata.php"><span>Donate now</span></a> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  <div id="PushFooter"></div> </div>  <div id="Footer">  <div class="FooterRowOne">© <a name="copyright-footer">Copyright 2001 - 2024 Erowid Center.</a> All rights reserved.
