We return to the wave of Pop Smokes continuing to wash over Europe and the broader recovery of the European MDMA market in this month's Pill Report: open.substack.com/pub/reportin...
Image shows a photo of a brown, slightly scuffed Super Mario ecstasy pill. Overlaid is the text advertising this month's Pill Report: "The Pill Report - February 2025. An easy-breezy read of some really seasoned beans"

The image also features the branding of Z6 Drogen Arbeit, an Innsbruck-based testing provider.

Even if you know exactly what you’re taking, drug use is never safe — that said, it’s much safer when you do.

Half of the community drug-checking capacity in BC was lost today, as we were forced to close the doors on Get Your Drugs Tested. We are working to re-open as soon as possible. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The latest edition of The Pill Report is now available: this series simply shares descriptions of ecstasy pills that are highly or variably dosed (and, worst case scenario, both!) Our samples this week come from from drogenarbeitz6.at, saferparty.ch and energycontrol.org!

We're back! The latest edition of The Trip Report covers everything we found from December, with the next Pill Report coming in 2 weeks time (so each will be monthly) open.substack.com/pub/reportin...
screenshot depicting that bit from the sequel star wars series where the guy says "Somehow, Palpatine returned", with subtitles instead reading "Somehow, the trip report returned" - I'm sorry I can't offer any more context or description than that, I think it's from the third one and I only made it ~10mins in

In the latest bumper catch-up Trip Report, we have barrelled headlong into the festival season! Trends become a little messier at this time of year as forgotten stashes get reopened and curiosities are indulged, but it makes for curious reading: open.substack.com/pub/reportin...

RCs are a niche part of the overall drug market, but these "early adopters", to nick a tech term, often lead the broader market in terms of what starts to show up as substitutes for more-common drugs. To my mind, it's well worth following these developments to parse future trends

With my apologies for the brief hiatus, here's the bonus bumper catch-up edition of The Trip Report! This edition features a hell of a lot of nitazenes (as expected at this point) and some curious adulterations that thus far seem pretty UK-specific:

The latest edition of The Pill Report, in contrast to Trip Reports of late, is looking pretty promising. The average dose seems to be levelling out and batches seem to get more consistent every week.

The trends appearing in the first TTR of 2024 look a lot like those of 2023. Benzo/nitazene combinations still dominate, and we're even seeing a resurgence (seemingly isolated atm) of cathinone adulteration in ecstasy.

The final Pill Report of 2023 is dominated by the Pop Smoke, which is being reported as being incredibly potent across Europe with very few low-dose pills reported. However, as long-time readers know, my heart still belongs to the prodigal Blue Punisher...

The press quality of a pill doesn't tell you much about the chemical makeup of a sample, of course, but it says a lot about the operation behind it. A good press indicates serious equipment, the space to house it and the resources/expertise to use them effectively.

In much, much lighter news, this week's Pill Report shows the continuing recovery of Europe's ecstasy market. Dose ranges (barring one particular exception) are narrowing and press quality is significantly improving.

The majority of the samples this week come from the newly-reconstituted WEDINOS project, who have really proven their pricelessness here - without them, we would likely have found out about this weeks or months later through autopsies.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023
We have suddenly fast-forwarded past that point in recent weeks, and are now seeing the blending of bromazolam and metonitazene *within a sample* across the UK. Depending on the doses in the pill and the person taking it, a single "street valium" could now be fatal.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023
I've already spoken a bit on the encroachment of nitazenes into the UK's opioid supply and have been worried for some time about it starting to appear as a substitute for benzos, which could pose enormous danger to someone who might take a mix of pills.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023
"Benzodope" is the term coined for a mixture of a benzodiazepine like Valium or Xanax and an opioid. I first came across it via the stories of the Crackdown podcast, discussing the emergence of benzos into the local fentanyl supply. Here in the UK, we're seeing the opposite process.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023
The latest edition of The Trip Report is extremely grim reading - "benzodope" has come to the UK in a big way, and any glib comments from me would feel pretty tasteless. You can find linked below, but for ease of reading/sharing I'll speak on it a bit here.

On my way to attend the founding of the Scottish Socialist Youth's vital campaign to Help Not Harm - the momentum is with us in the drive to humanise our approach to drug use, there couldnt be a better time to demand that we expand on this progress and embed it in law!
