Super strength Ecstasy, mega dose opiates and the N-bomb flooding Australia in deadliest summer of drugs
THE petite Gold Coast 18-year-old thought she was taking the drug ecstasy when she snorted the drug in the bathroom of the Sin City nightclub.
It was around 1.30am on a Sunday morning three weeks ago, and within seconds, she realised she had just made a huge mistake.
Waves of hallucinations so strong she later described them as “demonic” began to assault her.
Sitting in a cubicle of Sin City’s ladies room, she began to feel that the walls were moving and closing in on her.
Imagining that she was coughing up blood, she began to scream and bang on the walls trying to escape.
As nightclub staff came to her aid, the girl struggled, displaying superhuman strength.
On the same weekend, 16 people on the Gold Coast needed hospitalisation after terrifying reactions to what police first suspected was the “zombie” drug flakka.
Victorian footballer Riki Stephens would later die in hospital and the drug causing mayhem would prove to be another dangerous synthetic hallucinogen, NBOMe.
The same drug that resulted in the death of Australian Rye Hunt after a bizarre episode in Rio de Janeiro, it is sold in both tablet and blotter form to buyers thinking it is ecstasy or LSD.
Two weeks later, at the Horror Mansion Halloween Party at Moore Park in central Sydney, ambulances were called when several people collapsed.
One patient appeared to be delusional, making bizarre facial expressions as he was strapped to a stretcher and wheeled out to a waiting ambulance. Police arrested 20 people for drug possession, with the drug GBH being suspected.
Even without flakka, NBOMe and GBH, emergency clinicians are predicting a deadly summer of drugs for young Australians this Christmas and New Year.
Super strength Ecstasy and illicit versions of the drug Fentanyl thousands times more potent than morphine will flood the Australian black market this summer, Hospital Emergency consultant Dr David Caldicott has warned.
“The two big things we are scared about is the amazingly pure and high dose MDMA being detected in Europe and the illicit Fentanyl which is one thousand to 10 thousand times more potent,” he told news.com.au
“With no pill testing program here or harm minimisation culture like there is in Europe, we are estimating a truly abysmal summer of drug overdoses.
“Australians tend to take two or three MDMA pills at a time, and this is made worse with drugs being a criminal rather than a health issues.
“Generally an ecstasy pill will be between 75mg and 100mg, but in Europe we are detecting MDMA of between 200mg and 300mg.
“That is going to cause big problems. When you start dealing with 200mg doses, you can die.
“We are also scared about fentanyls. Most ambulance workers are used to dealing with a heroin overdose of around one milligram with Narcan.
“We are seeing doses of 10 to 15mg and the ambos are saying what looked like a heroin overdose doesn’t respond to Narcan.”
