Orange Nike's (Brick Shaped) Pill Alert, Melbourne Australia.
Drug alert
Pentylone in orange ‘Nike tick’ pills
The pills contain both pentylone and MDMA and are described as orange-coloured, brick-shaped tablets with a ‘Nike tick’ design. Pentylone is also circulating in other forms.
Pentylone is a ‘synthetic cathinone’ that’s potent and unpredictable
Pentylone is a type of stimulant called a ‘synthetic cathinone’. Synthetic cathinones can produce similar effects to more common stimulants like methamphetamine or MDMA (ecstasy), but cathinones appear to be more potent (smaller amounts produce strong effects). People who have used synthetic cathinones report that they produce less euphoria and psychedelic effects compared with MDMA, and that these effects wear off more quickly. This can lead to people taking more, increasing the risk of negative effects and toxicity.
Higher doses of synthetic cathinones can lead to long periods of sleeplessness and muscle twitching, increased risk of agitation, paranoia and hallucinations, and toxic effects such as overheating and heart problems.
Synthetic cathinones are being sold as MDMA in various forms, linked to hospitalisations
There have been a number of recent cases in Victoria where people requiring emergency care have reported using MDMA, but blood tests have shown synthetic cathinones. Cathinones detected recently in Victoria include pentylone, dipentylone, dibutylone, dimethylone, eutylone and methylone. In most of these cases the cathinones were apparent adulterants in products that also contained MDMA. In others, people had been mis-sold cathinones as substitutes for MDMA. Synthetic cathinones may appear as crystals, powders, tablets or capsules.
Consuming synthetic cathinones with other stimulants – such as MDMA in the orange ‘Nike tick’ pills – will increase the risk of toxic effects. Using cathinones with psychedelics like LSD (acid) will increase the risk of dysphoria (bad trip), agitation, and behavioural disturbances that place people at immediate risk.
Stimulants can also interact with a range of medications, including those used to treat depression and anxiety. Commonly used medications that may interact with stimulants and increase the risk of toxic effects include ‘SSRIs’, ‘SNRIs’ and ‘TCAs’. Always seek information about your medications before mixing with other substances.
A big thanks to Jodi Lee from 7 News for reporting on this dangerous combination.

PILL WARNING NSW, AUS DECEMBER 2019
Drug warning - Variable dose and high dose MDMA tablets/capsules
Consumption of high doses of MDMA (ecstasy) has been linked to cases of serious illness and death in New South Wales (NSW). These illnesses and deaths were a result of MDMA toxicity itself, not as a result of contaminated or fake MDMA tablets or capsules.
While consumption of one MDMA tablet/capsule alone can kill, the risk of toxicity is greatly increased if multiple MDMA tablets or capsules are consumed over a short period, or if MDMA is consumed in combination with other stimulant substances (such as methamphetamine or cocaine).
The dose of MDMA tablets and capsules recently circulating in NSW varied by up to 10 fold. Higher dose MDMA tablets have also been recently identified in NSW.
The average dose in some of these tablets is two to three times the dose commonly found in MDMA tablets and capsules circulating in NSW.
Consumption of MDMA may result in extremely unpleasant adverse effects, serious illness or death.
The higher dose tablets were yellowish green “SpongeBob” rectangular shaped tablets, and blue triangular/shield shaped tablets, stamped with a “TESLA” logo.
Avoid consumption of these tablets.
Adverse effects may include severe agitation and paranoia, raised body temperature, seizures (fits), heart rhythm problems and death.
Seek help immediately if you, or someone you know, has consumed MDMA tablets and experiences adverse effects.
Seek help from your nearest emergency department, call Triple Zero (000) for emergency assistance, or phone the NSW Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26).
Of 52 MDMA seized samples analysed, dose per capsule/tablet ranged from approximately 20mg to 200mg.The average dose of MDMA in the yellow/green “SpongeBob” tablets analysed was approximately 200mg, and the average dose in the blue “TESLA” tablets analysed was approximately 130mg.MDMA is likely to be incompletely mixed and inconsistently distributed through these tablets. Absorption and time to peak effect may also be highly variable

Pill Testing bill to be introduced to Victorian Parliament
Victoria could have pill-testing as early as next year, under new legislation set to be introduced by the Victorian Greens.
A draft of the legislation was revealed today, which sets out what the service would look like.
The Bill calls for two pill-testing services to be trialed for two years: a free mobile pill-testing facility to be used at festivals and a fixed-site lab for drug analysis.
Both sites would be reviewed after one year and have the potential for a four-year license extension.
The ACT is currently the only jurisdiction in Australia to allow pill-testing.
Drug law reform spokesperson for the Victorian Greens, Dr Tim Read, said it was time for Victoria to follow suit.
"We need to change the culture of drug use in Australia, and the first step is treating drug use as a health issue," he said.
"We must acknowledge the current approach is resulting in unintended consequences and instead choose policies that have worked elsewhere.
It's time to get over the stigma and just test the pills."
The bill has the support of several crossbenchers and will be formally introduced to Parliament before this year’s summer festival season.
The legislation would be named Daniel's Bill, after Daniel Buccianti, who died from a drug overdose at Rainbow Serpent Festival in 2012.
Daniel's mum, Adriana, has been a passionate advocate for pill-testing since her son's death and supports the Greens' bill.

N-ethylpentylone in Montreal, Canada
''Although unadulterated MDMA capsules have been common in eastern Canada since 2017, pure N-ethylpentylone (also called ephylone, or BK-EBDP) has lately made its way into the streets of Montreal and was reported to be sold as MDMA in capsule form. An official warning has yet to be issued as most users are unaware of this designer drug. This compound is far more toxic than MDMA and may cause death at high dosage but still within the range of what heavy MDMA users would ingest.
The appearance of the drug or the subjective user's experience of the drug aren't good indicators of its nature. N-ethylpentylone may look like MDMA and feel similar to MDMA. Marquis drug reagent test is your best ally as it will turn bright yellow if it is N-ethylpentylone instead of purple/black for MDxx.''
Anonymous concerned Montreal citizen.

New Zealand - dangerous drug n-ethylpentylone sold as ecstasy
A new drug masquerading as ecstasy has experts worried after six kilograms were netted in a bust by Wellington police this week.
Wendy Allison, director of free drug testing service Know Your Stuff, says many who believe they're taking ecstasy are actually taking something far more dangerous.
"In our testing this season approximately 25 percent of substances brought us as MDMA have turned out not to be, and of those the majority have been n-ethylpentylone."
N-ethylpentylone is a newcomer to New Zealand, only being detected in the country late in 2017. It's cheap and easy to manufacture, but is also far more toxic if it's taken in the same dosage as ecstasy.

NB Pentylone and N-ethyl-pentylone turning up in more pills
Please read this excellent article on NB Pentylone and N-ethyl-pentylone detection by The Loop in the UK.
"... with all the valerones being more potent than MDMA, the mis-selling of valerones as ecstasy causes added concern given that an amount that could be considered an ‘average’ dose of MDMA would be a very strong dose of any of these impostors."
"NB Pentylone and N-ethyl-pentylone can also both be detected at home with [Marquis] drug reagent tests as they turn bright yellow instead of purple/black for MDMA."
