Ecstasy substitute set to be banned

Ecstasy substitute set to be banned

Monday, 21 December 2009

A potentially deadly substitute for ecstasy will be banned on Wednesday, it has been revealed.

BZP can also cause seizures and vomiting and had been used as a replacement for ecstasy. It will become an illegal Class C drug and dealers could face 14 years in prison. Anyone possessing it could be locked up for two years.

This year police seized more than three quarters of a million suspected ecstasy tablets which turned out to be BZP.

Detective Inspector Andy Dunlop said: "We now believe this drug had replaced ecstasy in terms of availability and because it was legal. But its classification is about to change.

"Selling or possessing this drug will be a criminal offence which could lead to a jail sentence."

He said taking the drug can result in rare cases in serotonin sydrome (an adverse drug reaction) which can cause death.

A spokesman for the Public Health Agency (PHA) said significant effort had been put into raising awareness, particularly among parents, of the risks and community organisations had been given funding.

"The PHA is aware of increasing concern around a wide range of so-called 'legal high' drugs that are apparently available across Northern Ireland," he said.

"However, the agency welcomes the imminent proscription of the substance BZP which was announced by government earlier this year, as this new measure will contribute further to protecting people from harm."

is anyone else sick of the media referring to random pressed pills as "ecstacy"?

they make it out as if any old "ecstacy" pill contains nothing but mdma.

i say start calling mdma ecstacy, and state these random pills as containing very little mdma and a whole bunch of other shit.

dont soil the name of pure mdma with speed, meth, caffiene, bzp, ketamine and opiates by putting a bunch of all this shit into pills & calling it "ecstacy." some people will think its just plain old mdma.

fuck, prohibition is a mean bitch.

Honestly, I don't think BZP is all that bad. Its a decent amphetamine substitute. Good rushy buzz, but a tad rough on the comedown.
Thing is, if they merely ban bzp, and not the other piperizines, we will still see those other chems in pills.
Its the other pipes that people are having bad reactions to(tfmpp, mcpp, etc). So this won't actually help the pill scene too much(if what I said is true).

I hate pipes and would never knowingly take them again nor recommend them to anyone, but I'm still against the ban.

I mean i'm not really in favor of BANNING anything, but I do at times which we could just push things like meth / bzp / other lame+wretched drugs into a fucking black hole.

speed and meth are the same thing... and mdma (3,4-MethylenedioxyMETHAMPHETAMINE) CONTAINS METH. so how can mdma be so pure if you dont want to soil the name with meth? that shit is made with meth.

wow, you really have no idea what you are talking about do you?

I'll let someone else set you straight. Don't take it the wrong way. Once you've read some upcoming responses to your post in this thread you will have learned something.

According to party pill manufacturer Matt Bowden, over 20 million pills containing BZP have been consumed in New Zealand with no available record attributing deaths or lasting injuries to a single ingestion of BZP.[29] Additionally, a retrospective study carried out at an Auckland emergency department found that BZP presentations only made a minor contribution to their overdose database with most cases not producing any significant toxicity.[25] Several cases where BZP individually or combined with alcohol or other medicines or illicit drugs resulting in complications exist. One such example is the well publicised case of a combination of BZP and MDMA by a 23 year old from Greymouth, New Zealand. Ben Rodham, a DJ, ingested a combination of BZP and MDMA in February 2007, which nearly resulted in his death. Rodham was put into an induced coma in an effort to prevent him from dying. He later recovered.[30]

After many millions of doses consumed worldwide, two deaths have been officially recorded in correlation with the use of BZP, although no causal relationship has been proven.[31][32] In the first case in Zurich in 2001 a 23-year-old took two BZP tablets as well as ecstasy (MDMA) and drank more than 10 litres of water in a 15-hour period, subsequently dying of cerebral edema due to hyponatremia resulting from water intoxication.[31] In the second case a male 25 year old New Zealander ingested alcohol alongside BZP and MDMA.[32] The cause of death of this individual has not been released. It is uncertain what role the BZP may have had in these deaths. MDMA is thought by some to be a contributing factor to death from hyponatremia; [24][33] it is possible that BZP may also fall into this category.

ok real short.

looking up the details is your responsibility, don't if you don't wanna.

methamphetamine is only one kind of speed.

right off the top of my head, i know of three major groups of "speed";

dexedrine (dextroamphetamines), your classic methamphetamines, and benzoamphetamines.

so speed doesn't just = meth. only for street tweakers is that true.
(well that shows my age; now days i hear most of the crap on the street isn't even up to meth standards).

also, yes, as i understand it, amphetamines are one of the precursor chemicals to make mdma.

on the other hand, at the end of the synth, it is a completely new compound.

kind of like how they use grain to make your coors light, but it isn't bread when you open up the can.


simple enuf? good

too simple? go wiki it.

How can you seriously say mdma has meth in it, thats so retarded.

im glad about the ban, but are the other piperazines not being banned coz theyre just fucking horrible. I met a guy who thought he had tried mdma because he had done pills but at how bad the pills in england are hes probably only done piperazines and what he described mdma to be like is not quite similar to what id describe it as.

no, sir you are wrong here  MDMA does not contain methamphetamine.  You cannot make MDMA from methamphetamine and you cannot make methamphetamine from MDMA.  That's like saying that any chemical that contains nitrogen and carbon "contains" cyanide.  Each molecoule has it's own properties no matter how similar it may look on paper.  Get yourself some chemistry education before you embarrass yourself further

saffrole or isosaffrole, not amphetamines are the precursures to MDMA. look it up, man

ok, i did and i am wrong.

however, i was in the ballpark.


MDMA is classed as a psychedelic amphetamine...


"MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) or Ecstasy is a psychoactive amhphetamine drug with entactogenic, psychedelic, and stimulant effects."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdma

so ya'll both get a half point. (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine)


so i looked it up.

it is an amphetamine, it just isn't a typical one.
