High-risk drug alert: CanTEST: High-dose MDMA pills found in Canberra
High-Purity MDMA Pills Detected: Overdose Risk
A batch of pink MDMA pills marked with “POP SMOKE” and “300MG” has been found to contain a dangerously high level of MDMA—246mg of free base, equating to a purity of 41%. This is significantly more than the usual 80-120mg dose.
These pills can vary greatly in MDMA content, even within the same batch or from the same supplier, which increases the risk of accidental overdose.
TAKING HIGH AMOUNTS OF MDMA CAN CAUSE OVERDOSE AND SERIOUS HEALTH RISKS.
If you are using MDMA, please remember to:
• Be cautious if buying from a new supplier
• If a pill looks different than expected, be alert
• Use smaller quantities and avoid using alone
• Have access to medical help in case of emergency
SIGNS OF MDMA OVERDOSE:
• Confusion and agitation
• Overheating or excessive sweating
• Seizures and muscle tension
• Fast or irregular heart rhythm
• Nausea or vomiting
If you or someone else experiences any of these signs, call Triple Zero (000) immediately for medical assistance.
Taking action early could save a life. Harm reduction practices can make a big difference.
