In the October 2018 issue of the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, Dr. Logan co-authored a paper titled “The Detection of Novel Stimulants in Oral Fluid from Users Reporting Ecstasy, Molly and MDMA Ingestion.” The paper reports the results of a 4-year study of novel psychoactive substances detected in attendees of music festivals in Florida and Georgia who believed they had ingested the drug MDMA. The researchers tested the saliva of 223 participants, and found that 66 of them had at least one novel substance in their systems.
