The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 19/01/2025The 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!)

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 08/07/2024In 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...open.substack.comThe Trip Report 08/07Yet another bumper catch-up special! 000 0

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 12/02/2024RCs 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 010 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 12/02/2024Data this week comes from our stalwarts at wedinos.org, saferparty.ch, drogenarbeitz6.at and checkit.wien, as well as our first samples from kykeonanalytics.com, a research chemical-focused testing service based in Catalunya. 100 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 12/02/2024With my apologies for the brief hiatus, here's the bonus bumper catch-up edition of The Trip Report!

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 22/01/2024The latest edition of The Pill Report, in contrast to Trip Reports of late, is looking pretty promising.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 16/01/2024The trends appearing in the first TTR of 2024 look a lot like those of 2023.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 18/12/2023The 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.

The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 27/11/2023The 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. 110 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 27/11/2023In 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. 111 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023The 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. 010 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023We 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. 110 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023I'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. 110 1
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. 110 1
The Trip Report @thetripreport.bsky.social · 21/11/2023The 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.reportingtrips.substack.comThe Trip Report 21/11Even if you know exactly what you’re taking, drug use is never safe — that said, it’s much safer when you do. 111 1
