Drugs expert Jon Ramsey explains the huge variation in the content of commonly available ecstasy tablets. Tests he conducted on pills confiscated at the 2009 Glastonbury Festival showed that just 8% of all tablets studied contained any of the substance MDMA – the drug most users would expect to find in an ‘ecstasy’ tablet.

Preparing Your Drugs

lifestyle No Comments »

A resource for anyone who is injecting tablet medications (pills) and would like to do so more safely.

Tablets medications (pills) from a pharmacy are less likely to cause an overdose compared to drugs or pills from the illicit market – this is because the dose and contents of prescribed drugs are known.

Tablet medications contain fillers (e.g. coatings and powders) that can cause harm when injected, such as serious infections, abscesses and damage to the veins, skin, heart, and lungs. These risks can be reduced by using harm reduction supplies, including filters.
