WARNING: Possible dangerous "ecstasy" pills going around near Alberta Canada

I recieved a PM from a concerned Greenlighter today:

There is some ecstasy going around around Alberta in Canada that contains paramethoxymethamphetamine. Over 5 people have died in the past couple weeks as a result.

Paramethoxymethamphetamine is 5 times as toxic as MDMA, but does not cause much of a high - causing people to increase doses to dangerous levels without their knowledge.

I wanted to post a warning about this, but was unsure where to post it. I was unable to find any details on the size/shape/colour of the pills/capsules.

If you could start a thread of sorts, I would appreciate it - we don't need any more drug related deaths.

Thanks

I don't personally know anything about this at all. If anyone has heard anything or has any more specific information on this topic please feel free to post it.


This is NOT an ecstasy discussion thread, let's keep this one on topis for HR purposes please!

I came in here from EADD looking for some more information, really surprised this hasn't been picked up already?

Police have repeatedly refused to release the stamp on the pill. Disgusting. I urge anyone living in the affected areas to write to their politicians.

OP: check out the thread in DitM. Lots of info there. Good to have a thread in here though too, people deserve to know..

This really hits close to home for me. I wouldn't trust any of the MDMA/Ecstasy in the province. Most of the people around here are just trying to make a buck and that's all! If you must, be cautious and safe (get a test kit).
