need help identifying brown powder

[slk714]

good friend of mine called today very upset. found very fine brown powder in breath mint container in her 21 year old daughters room. also found glass pipes, lots of $ and other paraphinalia. she called me cuz she knows i have been addicted for years and would probably know. she needs to know if there is a test or a way to identify this powder before she confronts her. i do not want to see it or taste it if i don't have to for obvious reasons. can anyone help??

thank you all so much for your help, i am really afraid she is going down the same path i did, this is a huge shock. guess now i can at least be there for her knowing what she is gonna be facing. still waiting for a call back, hope my friend is coming to terms with this.
thanks again, you guys are the best!

sounds like heroin to me too. but i also agree with house. sit her down and confront her. if they are living in moms house, and slingin dope, she could have her house seized, just because she unknowingly let drugs be sold or stashed there. confront her, and if need be , turn her in. then maybe she can get the help she needs to clean up...

I think the big H too, also what part of the U.S. are they in..Heroin is not big in all city. And depending on what part of the u.s. also has alot to do with the color.. Like in califorina, the black tar is all over. very hard to find the white stuff....

  Good luck to your friend....

their is one way she can tell now, put a little in a spoon add a couple off drops of water fire a match under it till sizzles it will separate from the cut and be an amber color with a little pool of white powder on the bottom, has a distinct smell. it would take one minute, then flush she will know for sure.
