ACON Media Release
28 September 2004

ACON today issued a warning to the community about an illicit drug that has recently reappeared in Sydney, which poses a serious health threat and risk of overdose.

"We have reports that a number of people have been treated at St
Vincent's hospital having overdosed in recent weeks following the
emergence of PMA (para-methoxyamphetamine) being sold as ecstacy",
said ACON CEO Stevie Clayton.

"The most recent and worst case involved someone admitted to St
Vincent's in a critical condition with symptoms like hypothermia. PMA has
been implicated in deaths overseas.

"PMA has been sold as ecstasy (MDMA) although it is considerably more
powerful and has hallucinatory effects. We understand it has been sold
as 'red mitsubishi' (due to the symbol in the tablets), 'red death' or 'red
killer'.

"It appears that one of the problems with this drug is that the effects
come on slowly and some people think it hasn't worked and therefore take
more, resulting in overdose.

"Symptoms of overdose can include:
. muscle spasms
. increased blood temperature
. increased blood pressure
. increased body temperature (fever)
. increased pulse rate
. laboured breathing
. nausea and vomiting
. convulsions, coma and death.

"ACON's harm minimisation messages in the lead up to this weekend's
Sleaze 2004 have focussed on crystal meth and GHB but the appearance
of this relatively new drug is of major concern. We would urge everyone to
be extremely cautious.

"ACON's party presence this weekend will again include a large team of
volunteer Drug Rovers looking out for anyone who may be in need of
medical assistance. Our Rovers work hand in hand with Mardi Gras Medical
around the health and welfare of our community", Ms Clayton said.

First of all who is ACON? Are you able to give us a description of the pill ingested other than "red mitsubishi" ..?

Some more insight other then media releases would be appreciated if possible.

http://www.pillreports.com/viewpill.php3?id=44231.

After re reading the pillreport and cowboy macs post im led to believe that they ingested PMxx and MDxx together. If this was the case no wonder why the ended up in the ER.

This is all we bloody need, people are now going to look down on the red mitsubishis as bad or adultrated pills. Honestly the ones i have ran into have been clean little beans, Most people will agree.

Im not trying to say that it isnt a possibilty that they contain PMxx because it is possible but i highly doubt it.

More insight please.

As these mitsibishis have gotten quite a reputation as being good pills. If there is indeed a bad batch containing PMA it is extremely important that everyone is testing there pills. Everyone will be assuming they have gotten hold of the good mitsi's could be in for quite a rude shock.

Test your pills people.

Cheers Fry-d- ;), Looks like another gc/ms mission for RADAR and Enlighten.
 
I had consumed many many of these 'Red Mitsubishi's' recently and I know of many people who have also done the same.

Im from Sydney and do go out all the time, this is the first Ive heard of a PMA scare. Will report back if test results show otherwise

Um... excuse me?

I find that VERY hard to believe. Also on the grounds, what dealer says to their customer 'I have these new pills, they're great. They're called red death'...

But now it is that time again when PMA raises its ugly head. I'll echo as stated above, PLEASE test your pills and if you have any friends getting these DO NOT let them eat them unless you or they have tested them also :(

I hope they get the assholes making these pills :X
 
firstly thanks for the heads up... nice first post amigo.

Jesus fuk, this cant be good.... i've seen a whole shitload of red mitzi's and no complaints - but it would seem plausable that a bik with a good reputation may be getting copied and adulterated with PMA, defintatly gunna be tellin peeps to test their red mitzi's!

While your there telling them to test their mitsi's, tell them to test everything else aswell ;)
 
Didn't MixMag suggest in 1978 PMA aka Dr Death was going to be the biggest drug back then.

The media is just bursting with adulterated facts about drugs!!!
 
If a pill contains MDMA *and* PMA then it will test up as MDMA with a marquis reagent and probably with a mandelin as well.

To be honest I doubt the red mitsubishi's contain PMA...more likely a bunch of people had pills that were stronger than they're used to and went to hospital saying they'd taking a "bad eckie" or something. Has anyone done a GCMS on any of these pills?

Regardless of my scepticism, this warning is enough to make me stay away from those red mitsis.
 
I cant wait till this skeptesism and shit gets cleaned up. At this stage we are to short on details :(
 
Red Mitsi's

Guys. FYI, Acon are very reputable and not out to put any false warnings out there. They work, much like Bluelight and PR, on harm minimisation.
As you may or may not know, the gay community love their party drugs and every time there's a dance party on, Acon will provide the ambo's and medico's. They aren't your average fear-mongering media types.
Cheers,
J

Thanks Arqdyke, that is reassuring ;). I wonder if PMxx was ingested with the Red Mitsi's seperatley? Im going to email ACON and see if they have any idea. Or am i on the wrong track ?
 
Enlighten has put out the feelers, so hopefully we will be able to get some more information regarding this issue.
 
me thinks nige1492 could merely be a dealer who didnt manage to get his hands on any mitsubishis, and only got crap pills so is trying to scare ppl off em...




but seriously, always test...... :)
