Our testing Lost Village 2024 is continuing to show us that #SizeMatters. We are finding that range & variability of pills can be significant - even for the same design. Taking too much MDMA can be unpleasant, but could also have more significant and dangerous effects.

💊 Bigger pills are often stronger pills 💊 Take extra caution with pills weighing >1/2g in total weight, they could contain a double dose 💊 Average pill strength is ~200mg MDMA #GoSlowStayLow #SizeMatters #TakeQuarterSipWater Read blog for details: liverpool.ac.uk/law-and-social…

This weekend (Saturday 31st August) we will be delivering our monthly drug checking service in Bristol. Our service is free, anonymous and non-judgemental - come by to access harm reduction advice, with the opportunity to submit substances for testing.

Drug checking can reduce the risk of overdose by testing strength of substances & engaging people in conversations about dosage. "The dose makes the poison" (Paracelsus) For more information about The Loop’s published research & evaluations, please see: wearetheloop.org/publications

Nitazenes have been identified for the 1st time in the Netherlands this weekend - in pills looking like oxycontin, in a parcel sorting office, destined for the US. Worryingly, this might indicate that Dutch pill factories are manufacturing them. nltimes.nl/2024/08/31/dea…
