Police are testing ecstasy pills after a rise in drug overdoses on New Year's Eve

Police investigating a spike in drug overdoses on New Year's Eve are still unsure exactly what caused the rise in presentations.

At least 21 people were admitted to Perth hospitals on the night and more people were taken to hospital in the state's south-west after taking MDMA or 'ecstasy'.

Police said some of the pills they have identified are commonly nicknamed Batman, Light Blue, Sandy, Cookies 'n' Cream and Lightning Bolt.

Police have spoken to some of the victims and also analysed drugs seized on the night.

Chemical analysis is continuing but police say the results at this stage don't indicate a specific reason for the rise in overdoses, but they found the pills had varying levels of MDMA.

I know the MDMA situation in AUS is pretty bad, along with a lot of other drugs but are the kids simply taking too many pills after being left with shit for so long or what?
 
Yeah probably. We do get alot of crystal MDMA tho.

I think the imported pills really slowed down coming into this country ages ago and local makers/pressers just press any old shit they can get. If they get some decent pills from OS they apparently crush them down often and re press them with other shit to make more of them and more $'s. Dirty scumbags.
 
So their oding on mdma? And there was nothing else in the tested pills?

Strange but anything can kill you with out moderation.

Do they release the results of pills to the public?

Something isn't adding up to me here I mean 21 people is a lot in a night. I imagine dehydration and mixing substances will be the cause of a lot of these.

Sometimes, but it's rare. They do official police press releases sometimes to say a certain batch may be around that has tested up for PMA, but generally afaik no they don't tell us most of the stuff they test up.

I wouldnt trust what they say half the time anyway, alot of these people probably had large amounts of alcohol, lack of water, and other drugs as well and the pills were probably shit with a bit of MDMA (if any) in them.
 
Drug overdose is a broad term, how can you know it was the E's in the first place?

Does it say they were comming to the ER for an Ecstasy overdose, or a heroin overdose...

My bad !

Still I very much doubt it is MDMA being the cause... could have been a bad batch with who knows what in it.
 
Yeah I'd say you are most probably right. More shit getting added to pills now than ever I would imagine. Especially here in Aus. Home of the shit pills.
