No tests or indications that these are anything other than MDMA.
Some tests indicate that some batches are over 250mg of MDMA.

I'd be very surprised if this was a rogue batch? Think it's more possible that they've landed on some of the stronger UPS's as these have a massive spread and top end pills have been test ~270 mg 😙 is it more likely it's some inexperienced younger dudes that have been floored by extremely strong MDMA? Anyhows hope they r ok and recover soon.

Hope they are okay and recover soon.
February 8, 2015, 6:21 pm GMT@Mooley hit the nail on the head with some of the stuff just said.
Personally i'll always take half no matter how long/experience i have with the drug.
Stay safe guys.

Uk guys always wanna go over the roof lol, start halves is recomended

@warnerboy - quite a generalisation there man! Not true. I'd put money the guys in hospital probably didn't realise just how strong them beans were. Another good case for legalisation. People would have more information on the shit they were taking/buying.
February 8, 2015, 7:39 pm GMTI got caught out by an orange wifi, 2nd pill I'd had that night n it floored me. I've got a fairly good tolerance and experience so was ok. Imagine dropping ur 1st pill and it been >250 mg be enough to put u off.
I agree with you though do the Dutch beans in halves.

It's probably a combination of strong MDMA dosage & contagious paranoia... Why don't you get a pill of your batch tested ?

Aye there's a chance they might have been too strong for the kids, but better safe than sorry, I'm preaching to the converted here, but rule 1 is but always test the goods!

I have some of these and have tested with marquis. Went straight to dark purple / black. Obviously could be different batch but sounds to me like they've just overdone it. A warning has been sent around clubs in Manchester about these but relating specifically to the strength. With the original dominoes, gold bars, heinekens and now these, the Dutch have really upped their game which is good for those of us that test and know our limits but dangerous for those brought up on weak pills.

I've checked all news reports incl BBC and it's confirmed that they believe it's down to strength rather than a dodgy batch.

Yeah i agree with you mooley about legalise drugs like mdma. Many people use it. Dem kids need some education, when youngsterd have a change to drop for a first time time and they realy want that, they should know what they are doing.
February 8, 2015, 10:54 pm GMTericclapton (member since February 8, 2015)
Agree that it's the heavy dosage as opposed to anything else.
February 8, 2015, 11:54 pm GMTSeen the warnings last night before I went out, so decided to quarter just to be extra safe. Got a fairly low tolerance as well. Took about 45 minutes to kick, but there wasn't any problems noted whatsoever. Fairly smooth experience all round.
Just hope there isn't a rogue batch and that the people who were hospitalised make a speedy recovery.

the warning should be removed and suspected contents should be changed to mdxx off the rail
February 9, 2015, 2:48 pm GMTronon (member since February 9, 2015)
I had a few of these during January, consumed maybe 4/5(I have high tolerance) and i was sick after dropping my first, after that felt really no euphoria or empathy however i did feel really relaxed and very light, Few of my mates were gone though, gurning sweating constantly showing signs of empathy! So i reckon its just a hit or a miss in there doses! However 4 of us all spewed after our first pill.
February 9, 2015, 3:17 pm GMTronon (member since February 9, 2015)
P.s all six have recovered fully so im assuming it was just to high of a dose!
February 9, 2015, 3:28 pm GMTsubconscious (member since December 22, 2014)
Checking around online I found these other test results for the UPS tablets which contained 191mg and 274mg of MDMA (HCl).

Poor buggers probably all double-dropped or something. I've had these a few times and the quality is pretty great, you just really gotta start with a quarter if you're new or half if you're pretty experienced, and for the fuck of god wait till you've properly come up (you'll know when you have) to even consider redosing these dutch pills.

I rarely removed warnings from reports but at the moment there is nothing to indicate that these pills were anything other than MDMA. To start putting warnings up and hinting that they may be a rogue batch is anti Harm reduction and pure scare mongering.
February 10, 2015, 8:35 am GMTObviously if it turns out to be a bad batch we will update the thread.
Thanks

Horrible journalism in Scotland today:
February 10, 2015, 11:41 pm GMThttp://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/deadly-ecstasy-alert-experts-warn-5136401
Claiming normal strength of a pill is '35mg' and that UPS pills are 10x stronger than other pills circulating Glasgow and surrounding areas. Unreal.

I wonder where the guy who wrote that newspaper article got the his information from. Actually I would call this misinformation. I'm sure this mistake was intentional and the person who wrote this article was far from been objective when he was writing his bullshit.
February 11, 2015, 11:30 am GMTI have never heard of 35mg of MDMA being the normal strength for a tablet and even checking around online (and simply taking a look at the results here on this forum) anybody would come to the conclusion that it's not true.
bearlove (member since August 25, 2008)
It's just yet another bullshit tabloid reporter churning out nonsense -
February 12, 2015, 7:10 am GMTResearch carried out by a European charity reveals the super-strength batch of the UPS party drug is “neurotoxic and increases the likelihood of irreparable brain damageâ€, according to a report by the Evening Times.
Inserts Rolls Eyes emoticon.
In all honestly this report has probably done more good than harm - shown that no other substances were found (meaning they were tested and clean) and that there super strong. Hopefully people will buy these and if they want the 35mg standard pill dose they can snap them up.
The spread on these is crazy though - when your talking over 100mg as a spread it does start to get a bit worrying.
Mind you if the normal dose pills is 35mgs (as reported) and these are x 10 the strength surely they would be 350mgs and not 275mg as stated :D.

I'm from the NE.
February 13, 2015, 4:31 pm GMTI had a Heineken pill last weekend, they are obviously all made in the same place so thought I would let you know what happened.
I took it in halves as I found out how strong they were by reading up on them. I've been taking pills for about 12/13 yrs. the buzz was good but the comedown has well and truly put me off pills for ever! I've felt sick and dizzy all week, today is the best Ive felt - so it's basically going to take me over 1 week to pull round! I know I'm 40 and recovery slows down but the sickness feeling is awful. The only way I get rid of the nausea feeling is by eating but it keeps coming back a few hours later.
I know people are saying high MDMA but what else are they putting in to make me feel so sh@t.
If you get these and want a good night, I suggest taking them in quarters at a time to slowly build up. Eating a full one would floor you and you would miss the good crack with the lads.
It looks like the Dutch drug lords are hitting a massive high producing all these badboys but they may have overdone it this time!
This is a good read:

@acid dreams - remember that Heinekens are quite old now so is it possible that you've got copies? We've had Dominoes, Gold Bars and Heinekens with no problems. Very strong but very clean. Got UPS now so hoping they're just as good!!

They aren't bad. Just take HALF! Guy I got them off on night out in Leeds told me to take half I called bs because I had dutchies before and it's very rare to get them over here. So like an idiot took the whole thing after my friend dropped half. 20 mins later holding onto railings, swaying about. Ended up on toilet, couldn't stand up for a good 20 minutes. Went outside, eyes rolling into back of head falling against a fence for a good 40 minutes then wobbled inside to get a proper seat. Sat down in pure euphoria eyes rolling into back of head nearly passing out. Bouncer warned me to stop it so got up tried to have a little dance and night was over without me realising. Went to after party. Peaked for a good 4 hours on these with full effects lasting at least 8-10 hours. No bad after effects which was strange. DO WARN THOUGH HONESTLY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY TAKE HALF!. I've been taking md for 5 years on quite a regular basis and nothings ever fucked me up like these. People had a good laugh rescuing me off the bog because I had dead legs after going off on the nod there.
