We are back in Bristol for our monthly drug checking service. Visit us at BDP | Bristol Drugs Project (11 Brunswick Square) & we can test substances of concern. Drug checking not only helps individuals reduce risk but build a picture of the drug market for harm reduction communications.

At the #StudentDrugAndAlcoholConference The Loop's Adam W will be talking about communicating harm reduction; looking at some of the theory as well as practical examples; utilising case studies from The Loop's drug alerts and harm reduction communications in recent years.

Multiple heroin sample contaminated with nitazenes, possibly associated with number of drug related deaths in the area. GET NALOXONE and be prepared to use multiple doses.

Please take care this weekend. MDMA pills of high & varied strength in circulation this weekend Love Saves The Day. ‘La Casa De Papel’ pills contained ~160-270mg MDMA (up to & over double a common adult dose), with no visible difference in appearance. Seek medical attention if unwell.

High strength pills are the biggest contributor to MDMA related deaths. Having not seen ~300mg pills for 3 years, it is frustrating to see super strength pills in circulation this summer. Messaging (esp to 16-24 year olds) needs to focus on starting with no more than a half.

The Loop's testing suggests the MDMA market is changing: *Average pill strength increased to >180mg MDMA *The proportion of stronger pills increased to >1 in 10 with 250+mg *Bigger pills often indicate high strength & the need for extra caution #SizeMatters #TakeQuarterSipWater

The Loop’s 2024 drug checking & drug testing data suggest that ecstasy pills are back up to pre-pandemic strength & also that bigger pills are often stronger pills. Please take extra care this festival season. #SizeMatters #TakeQuarterSipWater

Today’s coverage of The Loop’s testing results this summer… Key points: > Average pill strength has increased in 2024, back to pre-pandemic levels (>180mg MDMA); > The proportion of stronger pills has increased to pre-pandemic levels (>1 in 10 are 250mg+);

More harm reduction from The Loop, highlighting the risks of high strength pills, and noting the correlation between pill size & MDMA content. Whilst not always the case, larger pills often contain more MDMA, so even more caution is advised. #TakeQuarterAndSipWater
