How Can I Tell if a White Residue Is Cocaine?
Question by Kat: How can I tell if a white residue is cocaine?
We found a glass vile in my sisters room, with a lot marijuana as well, and it has a white residue in it, but I’m not sure if it’s cocaine or not. My parents are afraid of losing their house, and don’t want to bring it to the cops, how can we tell if it is cocaine and what can we do about her drug use in my parents house? Will they lose their house if she’s caught with drugs in her room?
To add to this, she is 30 years old, living off my parents, and doing drugs in their house. She was asked before if she did pot and lied about it, yet had a large stash in her room. She never has money for anything except drugs and alcohol. I don’t think she would be honest if she was asked, and they can’t force her to take a drug test.
My father already flushed the pot, but there isn’t anything left in the vile to flush… also they are worried because she has large knives in her room with her and an explosive temper…. and had warrents for her arrest. She’s the biggest loser in our family, but my parents have been trying to help her get on her feet after her divorce.

put it on the end of your tongue and it should go numb if its coke. its possible to lose the house but not likely. not unless it can be proven the parents knew and/or were duplicitous in buying/selling drugs.
Have her drug tested. Destroy (flush it). Best of luck.
Unlikely, especially if the quantity is small and obviously for consumption, not sale. I would put the thing in her purse and then call the cops after she leaves the house. She needs to be taught a lesson.
Touch the tip of your tongue to it, if it goes numb it’s coke.
and yes they can loose their house if she’s dealing from it.
If she’s on drugs get her help NOW.
Call the cops if you have too, you’ll be doing her a favor.
Flush it and tell her to stop or get out.
WHY DONT YOU JUST ASK HER? tELL HER YOU LOVE HER AND YOU DONT WANT TO GET THE POLICE INVOLVED
Have her take a drug test you can buy one at Walgreen’s and they only cost about $ 20 it’ll tell you what she’s been doing drug wise and this way no cops are involve it’s only a family issue. this way you won’t have to bring it to the cops and no outsiders need to know UNLESS you want them too.
~~good luck~~
Why would your parents lose their house? If you’re in the US, then she’s responsible for her own actions, UNLESS she gets caught and it’s determined your parents knew about it and didn’t do anything about it. If there are young children around, they could be taken out of the home, because your parents were failing to protect them. But as far as losing the house? The only way that oculd happen is if she’s found guilty of a felony AND they receive “housing assistance” and her legal residence is still with them.
Contact the police. They can test to see if it’s cocaine or something else. Do NOT put some on your tongue. That’s what they do in the movies… I wouldn’t touch ANYTHING… Just call the police, report what was found, and allow them to test it.
Will your sister get in trouble? Oh, probably a little bit, but it’s far better to have her be mad at you all and get the help she needs, than to have her like you, but end up dead or diseased because of the drugs.
Your parents wont lose there house 1) there reporting what they found 2) your not talking about pounds here. Go to your local cvs and get a drug test, they cost between $ 20-40, cocaine only last three days in the system though. Most likely it is. You can drug test her, you can kick her out or if she is under the age of 18 your parents can have made to go to treatment, having the police report on the finding of the drugs will help your cause. Regardless it needs to brought to her attention that it was found and that behavior is inexcusable in your parents house.
All they have to do is put her out and change the locks and if she tries to break in call the police and they will arrest her and then she can probably get help. Now we know why her husband divorced her. Your parents need to stop enabling her.
I would recommend your parents put her in rehab right now it seem like the best thing to do I know your parents love her and don’t want to see anything happen to that probably why they haven’t put her out but again i would recommend rehab
