Amusing dialogue and in the realm of science it would be classified as, 'science fiction'.

Two beads of same density, size, color; same in all aspects except one is the medicine and one is the control: Proven in studies to be 'fool proof'..

There is only one way to separate the bead and that would be to analyze each bead one by one and separate via a mechanical means. Imagine: A tiny pair of tweezers taking one bead at a time, placing on a clean sterile surface, crush, and after determining the contents, place the powder in the appropriate place and then cleaning the surface for the next bead.

As to all the science fiction and 'what about...' in the realm of science it takes actual lab data to formulate statistics and meaningful data, not some verbal poetry and dreaming up various hypothesis's.

For example: The hypothesis of soaking, drying, using electrical charges...(or whatever) Has the 'scientist' taken into account the amount of the opposing element aside from the medicine (opioid) from the control (naltrexone)that will stick with the targeted substance?

Even in a semi-controlled lab situation or even a full blown, state-of-the art lab, I seriously doubt one can obtain 100% purity. This then leads to control groups being %75 opioid %25 naltrexone (or pick any combination or percentage.

The one great thing about science fiction is that it can be very entertaining.
