Ecstasy pills have gotten stronger and now have dangerously high amounts of MDMA in them, according to drug experts.
Ecstasy pills have gotten stronger and now have dangerously high amounts of MDMA in them, drug testers have warned.Dealers started– a more dangerous stimulant – to keep up with demand during a time where supply was limited.So when drug testing charity The Loop discovered more MDMA and fewer cathinones at Parklife Festival two weeks ago, they saw it as ‘a good thing in some ways’.
But the charity’s director Fiona Measham told Metro.co.uk her team is now worried about the strength of pills for sale. The market has almost ‘returned to pre-pandemic levels’ where 90% to 95% of drugs sold as MDMA do actually contain the substance.The Loop tested around 125 pills at Parklife festival in Manchester But many pills are around 1.5 times stronger than the average adult dose – between 75mg and 120mg.‘It’s easy for people to mistakenly take a higher dose than they would want to or to get the effect that they want,’ Fiona said.
Although these findings only apply to Manchester at the moment, Fiona and her team believe they will see the same patterns repeated across the country. The drug policy expert urged people to be cautious, ‘particularly women who are smaller in size and have a lower body mass index’.
