Pill Test Results Leaked!

20 people have been hospitalized and one dead over the weekend, all the cases linked to a batch of dangerous pills, assumed to be MDMA Ecstasy. Later on, two more deaths were linked to the batch.

A 30-year old man was arrested for possession of the pills, but he was only linked to one non-fatal case of purchase.

The results of tests of the pills were leaked on the Bluelight forum and show that the pills contain  4-FA and 25C-NBOMe, and a very small amount of MDMA. The effects of  4FA are described by the doctors as “an amphetamine-type stimulant which has been described as having an effect somewhere between amphetamine and MDMA.”

25C-NBOMe is the main content of the pill and it’s the one which caused the deaths and overdoses. It’s a highly toxic synthetic hallucinogen which carries extremely high risks of death when snorted. Considering that some take the pills in powdered form by snorting to achieve a faster effect, the pills we are talking about, are deadly.

There has been a leak of a police memo, which said: “may return a negative finding to illicit drugs containing 4-FA and 25-NBOMe. If there is a presence of MDMA, the spot test may return a positive to this drug.”
