Drug Purity Report #30/26. Welcome to “last week on drugs”, a new post series by PRO Test dedicated to reporting on drug market purity. After creating the DrugsPRO app, we have realised that browsing all of the available data can be challenging. Therefore in this series of articles we will post updates, summaries and comments on the current state of drug quality, particularly in Europe. For more details, photos, and other information on thousands of drugs, head out straight to DrugsPRO.

In this week’s edition: the return of PMMA, more old-school Ecstasy and the question “what is going to replace Mephedrone?”.

  • PMMA is BACK!
    • The infamous PMMA, which killed multiple people in the early 2010s, is unfortunately back. Despite the abundance of MDMA on the market (the main risk being taking too high of a dose, accidentally), at least 4 different pills were detected already this year in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and Poland (the last two reported by Nectar Spectra Labs). The PMMA pills are:
      1. Trump (pink-grey)
      2. Mitsubishi (yellow/beige)
      3. Tesla (pink)
      4. Red Bull (multiple)
      Most lab results are available in the DrugsPRO app, except for the Tesla and Mitsubishi test results which we received from Nectar Spectra Labs.

  • MDMA with Amphetamine
    • Do you know how many people suggest Ecstasy pils contain MDMA mixed with Amphetamine? Well, that is a myth… most of the time. The misconception comes from the fact how differently “Molly” can affect users, both due to personal predispositions, as well as the common unintuitive decrease of energy on high doses of MDMA. But, to every rule there is an exception. Last week the Swiss drug checking specialists detected 30mg of Amphetamine mixed with 155 mg of MDMA in a yellow Bitcoin pill. A hefty dose of both, significantly more than expected for a single person. Interestingly, bitcoin pills appear to have a significant variance in contents, unlike most other logos.

  • What is going to replace mephedrone?
    • Ever since Mephedrone (4-MMC) started to get banned, the chase to find a replacement begun. And yet, due to lax regulations in particularly the Netherlands, situation quickly stabilised, and 3-MMC became the drug of choice for many European party goers. Recently, however, 3-MMC was banned there too, and it seems like 2-MMC is not picking up as replacement. Currently dealers are trying to sell 2-MMC, 3-CMC, 4-BEC, 4-BMC, 4-CMC and NEP as Mephedrone. Situation remains dynamic, with most of those compounds sharing a similar piece of the market. Due to low sample size, currently more information on that trend is not available.

More details in the full blog post at https://protestkit.eu/drug-purity-report-week-30-2026/, and of course in the DrugsPRO app.

Thank you for reading and catch you next week!

Drug Purity Report #31/26

We are back with another summary of the “last week on drugs”, the PRO Test series dedicated to reporting on drug market purity. This week: more PMMA, cathinones and synthetic cannabinoids.

Data fatigue is real, so here is the gist of what is worth knowing. For more details, photos and information on thousands of substances, visit the DrugsPRO app.

20260727AUrf2-1.png


PMMA is still around

The risk of finding PMMA in an ecstasy pill remains. After several samples confirmed earlier this year, a red-purple Red Bull pill containing 59 mg of PMMA was found in Vienna. PMMA is associated with severe poisonings and multiple deaths. The Red Bull tablet is shown in the report graphics below.

Synthetic cathinones

The search for a 4-MMC replacement continues across Europe. Samples submitted as mephedrone last week were found to contain 4-CMC and NEP. NEP is much more potent and has particularly high overdose potential. Interestingly, NEP was also found pressed into a pill resembling the red-purple PMMA Red Bull tablet.

Synthetic cannabinoids

One sample from Austria contained four different synthetic cannabinoids. Cannabis products are tested less often than powders, but reports of products containing synthetic cannabinoids continue to appear. Fully synthetic cannabinoids such as MDMB-INACA can pose serious health risks, while semi-synthetic compounds such as HHC-O remain unpredictable. Testing cannabis products before use is therefore strongly recommended.

Last week at a glance

  • 60 samples from 6 countries: Austria, France, Germany, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland.
  • 52 samples had quantified results, including 25 pills and 1 LSD sample.
  • 16 samples contained more than one detected ingredient.

Key purity differences

  • Amphetamine median purity/content: 88%, compared with 38% in the yearly reference period.
  • Mephedrone median purity/content: 54%, compared with 88% in the yearly reference period.
  • MDMA median content: 160 mg, equal to the yearly reference median.

The report is based on drug-checking data published by checkit.wien, drogart.org, drogenarbeitz6.at, drugchecking.berlin, druglab.fr, Energy Control, SafeZone, Trimbos and WEDINOS.

Drug Purity Report: Week 31, 2026

Drug-checking results describe tested samples only and are not representative of the entire market.

Thank you for reading and see you next week!
 
Hmm what I meant is I thought it was against the rules to say "pills with this imprint have xyz in them" as anyone can copy a print and than what was published becomes untrue instantly?

Personally I have no objections to it but I kind of doubt the accuracy -- okay I see the disclaimer

"Drug-checking results describe tested samples only and are not representative of the entire market." -- I hope everyone else does as well
 
Let me quote /u/AluminumOrangutan from Reddit, the moderator explains it well:

I think it depends on whether the report indicates the pill is safe or dangerous.

If someone says, "I took a Redbull pill and it was legitimate MDMA - highly recommend" that's bad advice, because our Redbull pills could have come from a different producer and have different contents from theirs.

But if someone says "Be careful with Redbull pills", that's helpful, because it puts users with this pill on guard and encourages them to do what they should have been doing from the beginning: test their drugs.

Are you really trying to argue against warning about dangerous drugs? If so, please bring your concerns to the drug checking NGOs, not us.

You are copping an attitude where it was not needed so I will proceed as addressed..

Noone cares what some guy from reddit says; at all. The fact you mention reddit tells me all that I need to know

What I was asking was whether what you are doing is directly against the BLUA or not? As in my experience these threads get shitcanned.....Than noted I personally do not care, have at it; so your problem is not with me guy.

In fact I would like to know how much fentanyl the m30s on the east coast have in them as a rule? But that could tread towards dangerous advice as every batch could be different....(could be is generous)

Again, I do not care but I do see how what you are doing could lead to misinformation leading to harm.

Now that we understand eachother you will not hear from me again. (You should add that disclaimer to the first one as well btw -- it is IMPORTANT)

PS what the hell are the drug checking NGO's -- oh like dancesafe and ectasydata and that shit okay -- yea those were traditionally not encouraged here and notoriously misleading. If BL doesnt care I dont, I have never and will never report anyone guy.

EVERYONE PLEASE REMEMBER THIS Drug-checking results describe tested samples only and are not representative of the entire market.

have at it -- SOME info is better than NO info IMO honestly.

Warning people and fear mongering can be a thin line, data often is that thin line.....tread carefully
 
Drug Purity Report #32/26

Welcome to “last week on drugs”, the PRO Test series dedicated to reporting on drug market purity. This time — another week, another PMMA pill. On top of that, novel semi-synthetic cannabinoids and other research chemicals.

Caution: warnings are not limited to compounds mentioned in this post. All our published laboratory results are warnings. No substance is 100% safe.

Data fatigue is real, so here is the gist of what is worth knowing. For more details, photos and information on thousands of substances, visit the DrugsPRO app.

Donkey Kong pill containing PMMA, detected in Zurich, Switzerland.

Donkey Kong PMMA pill — Zurich, Switzerland

Whoever has been putting out pills containing PMMA is not taking it easy. Another pill containing PMMA has been found, together with another sighting of one previously detected.

Considering the scale of the European drug market and the evident cross-border spread, it is reasonable to assume that at least several thousand PMMA pills are currently in circulation.

Delta-8-THO — Maribor, Slovenia

The Slovenian drug-checking NGO DrogArt reported new semi-synthetic cannabinoids: THC butanenitrile oximes (THO).

A sample sold as cannabis containing T9HC was found to contain delta-9-THO and delta-8-THO. These compounds remain poorly understood. Previously reported effects include dissociation, blurred vision, nausea and loss of appetite.

Analysis result in DrugsPRO

More information from DrogArt

Fake Xanax — Bern, Switzerland

A fake Xanax sample resembling a classic alprazolam pill was found to contain flualprazolam and meclonazepam.

These substances are research chemicals with unclear risk profiles. Flualprazolam is known to produce longer-lasting effects than alprazolam. Combined with potentially unfamiliar effects, the risk of overdose, memory loss, injury or another accident is high.

Analysis result in DrugsPRO

Last Week at a Glance

  • 83 samples from 5 countries — Austria, France, Germany, Slovenia and Switzerland — were included.
  • 76 samples contained a quantified result, including 39 pills and 7 LSD samples.
  • 18 samples contained more than one detected ingredient.
  • Median LSD content was 80 µg, compared with 69 µg in the yearly reference period.

More details, tables and sources are available in the full Drug Purity Report for Week 32, 2026, and of course in the DrugsPRO app.

Drug Purity Report #33/26

Welcome to “last week on drugs”, a new blog post series by PRO Test dedicated to reporting on drug market purity. Since last week we have seen doppleganger Ecstasy pills, pills with more than 1 stimulant, and a continued diversity among cathinone samples.

Data fatigue is real, so here we come to give you the gist of what’s going on out there. For more details, photos, and other information on thousands of drugs, head out straight to the DrugsPRO app.

Red TikTok pill tested in Austria. Pills with the same appearance were found to contain either MDMA or caffeine.

Doppleganger Ecstasy pills

Every pill should always be considered as different, as illustrated by most recent red TikTok and blue Punisher pills found in Austria. With half of the samples containing MDMA, and the other half caffeine, the risk of possible overdose increases exponentially. A weak effect (caffeine pill) can encourage person using it to ingest more and overestimate their tolerance.

Multi-stimulant pills

Pills with both MDMA and caffeine were found in Austria, yet another kind of blue Punisher pressies. MDMA with amphetamine was found in a round orange pill in Innsbruck, and a Donkey Kong pill with NEP mixed with unknown compound was found in Slovenia, after recent detections in other countries throughout the region.

Cathinone diversity

As reported in the previous weeks, 4-MMC is increasingly rare and replacements are still all over the place. Those include 3-CMC, 4-CMC, 2-MMC, 3-MMC, 4-BMC and NEP, with also Ethylpentylone, also known as ephylone or bk-EBDP, found this week.

Last Week at a Glance

  • 206 samples from 6 countries (Austria, France, Germany, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland) were included this week.
  • 161 samples contained a quantified result, including 67 pills and 5 LSD samples.
  • 83 samples contained more than one detected ingredient.
  • LSD median purity/content is 164 µg, compared with 69 µg in the yearly reference period.

More details, tables and sources are available in the full Drug Purity Report for Week 33, 2026, and of course in the DrugsPRO app.

Thanks for that, it could be very useful.

Initial impression is that there seems to be a bit of a learning curve required to navigate your way around the site

Even the search function throws up information that kind of creates more questions than answers, such as for clonazepam - 8497 samples were tested last year, and this substance was detected in 50 of them..:?

Then for purity - Specific amount data for this substance is limited. Typical tested drug purity last year centered around 73 %.

Then Across all tested samples, the top sample-count buckets were pure (6343), 2 ingredients (1415), 3 ingredients (390), 4 ingredients (105), 5 ingredients (58). In total, 6343 were pure and 2110 had extra ingredients.

The first statement seems to clash with the 3rd. I guess you have to use your brain and assume that the 1st statement meant that clonazepam was found in 50 substances, not supposed to clonazepam.

And then the bit about 'across all tested samples' maybe refers to tests submitted for when the user had intended to buy clonazepam, and the product was labelled as such.

I'll definitately have more of a look, when I have a bit more time to figure it out a bit more.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback!

What you found was the generic fallback in the all-app-search. 50 samples with clonazepam were found out of the current ~8500 samples total, that is correct. The language was not clear enough evidently, I am not a native speaker so no argument here. Fixed now, both logic and the lingo. Should be live in a few hours, might require a quick in-app update in the background before changes show.

PS. In other news, today we have deployed a future prognosis feature on the Alerts map (https://protestkit.eu/drugspro/alerts/maps). You can now try our custom statistical model to predict 1-2 weeks into the future where geographically any pill is expected to show up next. Inspired by current PMMA spree and the DIMS model. That part is totally experimental and here UI could still be relatively confusing, feedback always appreciated, speeds up the process =)

PS2. TripTalks also coming online by tomorrow.

Cheers
