It could've been PCP - which can also be a powder.

Given the location, there's a chance it was scopolamine, which could indicate foul play. Not sure what color it is powder form, though.

In its basic state the color is dependent on the chemicals used in the extraction process. Once refined and purified, it's white.

PCP is NOT as dangerous as you've been told.

The danger of PCP is the cops shooting you while you're dancing naked in the streets.

Could happen I guess. But people that can't handle their shit shouldn't be doing PCP in the first place. I've done it twice. One was meh, and the other was awesome and I did not dance naked in the street.

L-O-L - you've OBVIOUSLY never did PCP. It's by far THE scariest drug I've ever done. I've done acid, shrooms, mescaline, salvia, ayahuasca and K2/spice and never had a scary reaction like I did with PCP.

Yes I have. And someone who's taken as many hallucinogens as you claim should know that's not how tripping works. Just because you had a bad experience on something doesn't mean everyone does. L-O-L Obviously

I'm not sure if we're still on topic, but it sounds like they found a lot of drugs. Even if drugs are relatively safe taken individually, that doesn't mean that it's safe to take everything at once and then wash it down with a pint of liquor. This is what I picture rock stars doing.

It could have been, but I doubt it. I doubt the validity of any of the drug claims. Again, how did they know he had hallucinogens but they didn't know what the white powder was? They would have needed a reagent test to verify the hallucinogen and could have simply tested the powder as well. But they didn't?

how did they know he had hallucinogens

The chupacabra on the ceiling kept screaming "IT'S HALLUCINOGENS!" at the deputy who came into accidental contact with some of the powder.
