Koster s a y s he set up the testing center because he is concerned about people who use hallucinatory and other drugs which a r e not the substance they are sold as. Substitutes and additives in heroin, mescaline, ST?, THC, amphetamines and other drugs are "making people sick," claims Koster. He believes his service can spot the substitutes a n d thus prevent those harmful ef- fects. The center has not been offi- cially sanctioned by the police and Lieut. Det. Eugene Stau- denmair says that "in no way. can we (the police) sanction or Utter doesn't throwv itself away:litter doesn't just happen. People cause it-and' only people can prevent, it."People"means you. Keep America Beautiful. "(dvertising contributed for the public good overlook" the. drug testing cen- ter. Staudenmair adds that Koster is "well aware" that "anytime anyone is caught with the. drugs they're subject to prosecution." But Koster set up his center, because he believes drug use is a matter of individual choice, and that the "drug problem" can not be solved by passing re- strictive laws or calling in the police. "I think the police understand they can't solve the drug prob- lem," Koster says. The only way to solve the problem, he claims, is to start telling people t h e truth and a way to do that is to tell them what drugs they are actually taking. If a person wants a drug analysed by the center, he is re- HEAVY TRAFFIC, COMING Daily Classifieds Bring Results ! quired to drop it into Koster's mailbox along, with a made up nine-digit number. The drug is then put through a spectrometer analysis, which reveals what the drug is composed of. The person then can call back in a few days, tell Koster his number, and Koster will tell him exactly what is in the drug. So far, Koster says he has found the results of his service rather shocking. Of seven drugs which were supposedly mesca- line, none actually were. One turned out to be aspirin with food coloring added, while the others includded such other drugs as. STP, belladonna, and LSD. !
