1. A spoon with white powder on it.
2. Glass pipes with steel wool stuff in the bottom of it.
3. Little golden wire circles that come in little baggies.
I know my mother has a history of drug abuse and that she's been addicted to pot and cocaine before. She's started the pot again, I could tell from the smell of her and the smell of her room. I went to go and get rid of the stuff and I found all of these. I really am not sure what to do, and am not even sure what it is that she's doing. I'd appreciate serious answers.

Well I've called DCFS, told my psychiatrist, called the police, and no one has done anything to help. My mom is in denial about it so if I try to talk to her about it she says it's someone else's, she screams and yells at me, and tells me to **** off.

That sounds like crack or meth to me. DON'T TOUCH IT! Those chemicals can be very very dangerous. This is really too big of an issue for you to take on alone- call a narcotics anonymous center for advice one on one. Do something now- but I wouldn't call the cops or anything. They would end up really messing up both of your lives.
Edit: If the cops and childrens services didn't help - call childrens services again. They usually swoop in and try to take the kid out of that situation- so be prepared for that. I still would try narcotics anonymous (or see their website) for advice

A spoon with white powder has got to be cocaine. The glass pipes sound like they could be for smoking weed, but the golden wire circles, I'm really not sure.

She's smoking crack.The white powder on the spoon is left over baking soda from cooking the cocanie.The steel wool stuff is like a screen for the glass pipe and the little gold circles of wire are screens you buy in a head shop.

Brianna Something, Your description appears to resemble those of two different drugs – Methamphetamine and/or Heroin. Bizarre behaviour and lack of personal hygiene are the hallmarks of methamphetamine abuse. The paraphernalia used for smoking and shooting meth involves using glass pipes or tin foil for smoking. The presence of pipes with residue or foil that appears burnt is an indication of use. Butane lighters and miniature torches used to melt the drug may be present. There will be a noticeable smell of burnt plastic. Small plastic bags carrying the drugs may also be present. The discovery of syringes and spoons indicates IV use. The paraphernalia for injecting heroin include hypodermic needles, small cotton balls used to strain the drug, and water and spoons or bottle caps used for "cooking" or liquefying the heroin. There are several signs and symptoms of heroin use. Pupils of the eyes often are very small in reduced lighting conditions when pupils normally dilate. over a 6 month period, the user will have shot up at least 180 times. This is when the needle marks manifest themselves as “tracks”. Trails of tiny scabs may extend 1-3 inches or more down the arm or leg in a straight line right over top of the vein. Heroin is a central nervous system depressant which also affects reflexes such as coughing, breathing, and heart rate. Heroin causes people to feel drowsy, warm, and content. The drug also relieves stress and discomfort by inducing a relaxed detachment from pain and activities. Nausea and vomiting are a common side effect especially when first using the drug. Constipation is a common side effect that can be quite severe. An overdose may produce slow and shallow breathing, clammy skin, convulsions, coma, and death ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED. It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms. The information provided here should not be used during any medical emergency or for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. A licensed physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of any and all medical conditions. Hope this helps matador 89

Spoon is Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine
Glass Pipes are Methamphetamine, Crack
Little golden wires are probably methamphtamine
Your mom is probably doing methamphetamine which in case you dont know is the world most dangerous drug it rottens the teeth, brain and then the addict will sometimes experience hallucinating. You need to go tell your mom that you wont let her kill herself.
You Need to tell the cops that you got drugs for them to take and they will come by your house as far as your mom concerned just leave her alone for now

she's on crack cocaine Hun, or even meth amphetamine which is highly addictive and dangerous...sorry but that's the truth...you need to get her into rehab before she damages herself....i don;t know what the wire circles are but they don't sound good...talk to her and tell her that your worried about her, she needs help....throw everything down the toilet...break the pipe and dispose it somewhere where no one can hurt themselves with it, if the worst comes to the worst and you REALLY want to help her, turn her into the police, it does not mean your grassing her up, but the SSS (short sharp shock) will help her realise that she has serious drug issues and needs to get clean, she needs something to wake her up....and you need her as a mother too...get er some help...

The first one is cocaine and it sounds like she is smoking weed or crack cocaine. Getting rid of them won't stop her as she will just go get more drugs and supplies. Your best bet is to show her what you found and tell her you really want her to think about getting help before it's too late.

Quick search found this.
http://dmt.tribe.net/thread/3bf5698f-9c27-4c5f-ae9a-6d84711797b1
describes pipes made for smoking DMT made just the way you say..
and this from elsewhere...
Pure DMT is a solid made up of crystals it can be white, pink, or orange in color. When it is injected or smoked, the effects can be felt very quickly and the majority of effects are gone within an hour of ingestion. When DMT is consumed orally with an MAOI (such as when drinking ayahuasca), the effects are milder but they may last as long as six hours.
Good luck

Cocaine
Heroine
Crystal Meth
Just flush the drugs down the toilet and throw the paraphernalia out with the trash. Unless you want to do more to help your mother - then turn it all in to the cops.
Keep telling anyone and everyone until the issue gets sorted out. Call the cops daily, if necessary.

Not good it sounds like she is shooting up (using drugs intravenously) and smoking meth and or crack the little golden circles are screens for the pipe it holds the drug of choice in place so it can be smoked.
