'Ecstasy found with deadly NBOMe' - South Australia

AN ecstasy batch containing the deadly chemical NBOMe has prompted the second police warning in as many days. The batch of grey or black MTV pills was found by Eastern Adelaide police earlier this month. A forensic examination has revealed the pills contain NBOMe, a drug known to cause psychotic and hallucinogenic episodes and in some cases serious injury and even death. Police have again warned of the dangers of illicit drugs. "You don't know what you are taking and you're gambling with your life," a spokesman said. Today's warning comes after police yesterday warned of a bad batch of ecstasy that led to increased violence and bizarre behaviour in the city on Saturday night. The drug prompted psychotic behaviour from users including one who stripped and swam naked in the Torrens , another who licked a nightclub floor and a person who acted like a chicken in a taxi. Twenty-one people were taken to hospital with overdose symptoms. One man, 21, remains in the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition. Police say there is no evidence to suggest the MTV pills are linked to a North Adelaide man, 21, arrested on Sunday morning. The man was allegedly in the possession of 33 ecstasy pills including Green Mitsubishi, Pink Superman and Yellow Ferrari varieties, some of which are believed responsible for the overdoses on Saturday night. That investigation is ongoing.

So it seems as though someone has sold NBOMe as mdma and everyone in town that night took NBOMe in a nightclub environment... I was in the city on that night and there were people acting up everywhere, absolutely tripping off their faces, having episodes, and getting taking away by ambulances.. If the people who sold them these pills knew what was in them and didn't tell them, I seriously hope they get what's coming to them!

A BAD batch of ecstasy in circulation on the weekend caused users to strip and swim in the Torrens, lick floors, rub themselves on the road and - in one case - act like a chicken in a taxi, police revealed today.
A total of 21 were taken to hospital over the weekend displaying overdose symptoms suspected to be from the bad ecstasy tablets.
One man, 21, remains in the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition.
SA Police Superintendent Anthony Fioravanti said emergency services were particularly busy in the city on Saturday night.
"Police and health services had a busier than usual night as a result of reports people had taken ecstasy tablets that were from a bad batch," he said.
"The normal effects of ecstasy are a feeling of euphoria, heightened arousal and an emotional effect and an increase in body temperature.
"While some of these effects were evident, there was an increase in aggression, rather than a feeling of euphoria.
"This resulted in an increase of reported fights in the city and had the illicit drug users displaying psychotic, extreme and bizarre behaviour."
Among the bizarre behaviour witnessed in the city on Saturday night was:
A PERSON stripping down and swimming naked in the river Torrens.
A PERSON licking the floor of a nightclub.
PEOPLE disrobing and rubbing themselves on the bitumen.
A PERSON acting like a chicken in the back of a taxi.
"They were extreme and bizarre behaviour," Supt Fioravanti said.
Early on Sunday, police arrested a man, 21, at North Adelaide and charged him with trafficking a controlled drug.
He was allegedly in the possession of 33 ecstasy tablets and $900 cash and he has been bailed to appear in court at a later date.
Among the drugs seized were three varieties of ecstasy - Green Mitsubishi, Pink Superman and Yellow Ferrari.
These pills are currently being analysed.
"We do not know if the overdoses that occurred are linked with the drugs that he sold," Supt Fioravanti said.
"We do know that there have been a number of different ecstasy tablets taken but not all those were the same as those that we found in the possession of the male offender.
"From what we've been told so far, we believe that they have been purchased from nightclubs within the CBD, however we haven't ascertained where all of them were purchased at this point."
Supt Fioravanti said Saturday was a particularly violent night in the city.
"I was talking to one of the patrol Sergeants and they just said that there were a lot more fights than they normally have," he said.
"While they didn't count how many they were, they just realised there was a lot more happening."
The 21 people affected were a mix of men and women predominately aged 18-25.
Supt Fioravanti said drug dealers were preying on young users in nightclubs.
"We will be continuing with our high visible presence," he said.
"We will be running dog operations, which we do within the CBD anyway and we will definitely be increasing the number of police in the city to try and deal with this incident."
South Australian Ambulance Service operations manager Anthony Pryzibilla said crews were kept very busy in the city.
"It was a particularly busy night in the CBD across the whole area as a result of a whole range of different things - assault, drug taking as well as alcohol intoxication," he said.
We do get a lot of transports out of the city to the hospitals as a result of assaults, alcohol and drug taking.
"When there are increases and spikes in this it just puts further burdens on our resources."
Mr Pryzibilla said the health dangers of ecstasy ranged from overheating and dehydration through to seizure and even death.
He said the bizarre behaviours reported in the city were not entirely uncommon.
"Ecstasy has a chemical compound in it that produces a hullicenegen effect so it can result in a range of different behaviours so it's not unusual that the behaviours that have been reported have been linked to ecstasy," he said.
Mr Pryzibilla said users or friends of users should not hesitate to call an ambulance.
"If one of your friends has taken ecstasy and you're concerned about them and they are displaying abnormal behaviours don't hesitate to call triple-0," he said.
"You don't need to be fearful that the police will attend when you call triple-0.
Mr Pryzibilla said police would only attend a call out if there was a death or if the ambulance crew requested them because of fears for their safety.

Be careful, 2000ug of 25i-nbome = overdose
that's only 2mg... what could fit easily on a normal 1/4" blotter that lsd usually comes as
everyone reacts differently to it, some may overdose on 1000-1500ug, some on 8000ug
dangerous chem, but I just ordered 100, they're only $.05 a hit for 10hr trip
hopefully lsd and mdma will be legal soon, so we don't have to risk our lives
sounds like an awful lot of work for the cops+hospital staff and waste of tax money, just legalize

bullshit... while 25i DOES have overdose potential, it is not in the 2mg range... in fact, 2mg is the dosage i recommend for a good time... i did 2mg last weekend on top of 4 LSD blotters & had one of the best times ever... it's important to not understate the dangers of unresearched chemicals, but it's equally important to not induce hysteria...

NBOME notoriously has (A) unpredictable dosing - what constitutes an effective dose seems to vary for lots of people (B) the ability to cause long-lasting (~1 month) psychedelic tolerance and (C) a steep dosage curve typical of many mescaline analogues. Oh, and doses are measured in micrograms and it can kill you. There's also a lack of a clear consensus on questions like to what extent it's orally active and how effective sublingual dosing is without HPBCD. I don't think there's anything hysterical about calling 2mg an overdose (it's 33% more than what erowid calls a strong dose, for sanity's sake).
I think us psychonauts tend to forget how much background knowledge you have to have to do these sorts of drugs safely. And not just in terms of knowledge of dosage, how to measure things out, what remedies to have on-hand for hypertension, etc. but also in terms of general tripping knowledge like how to help someone out with a bad trip and NOT TO GIVE THE ENTIRE CLUB PSYCHEDELICS AND TELL THEM IT'S ECSTASY. Jesus Christ.
That said, people acting like chickens in taxis....
Good times, y'all.

This is why you need to reagent your drugs/RC's. Seriously, most drug dealers are fresh out of high school, half-assing college, have no clue how to actually work/research, and are utter fucking morons. The other day I heard a DJ talking about ecstasy saying "Blue stars are the best man. If you ever see them, buy like an ounce of that shit."

imo, the problem is people not knowing how to measure doses in the ug/mg range... i've been party to laying 10 grams of 25i onto blotter over the last year... using volumetric measurements, we lay our doses at 1 mg per blotter... there has not been one problem from any of our doses... that's 10000 doses we've laid, & most heads have taken our advice & done 2... good times have been had by all... i really think the unpredictable dosing is more a matter of dubious supply & inexperience... get a reliable source & learn how to properly measure doses & imo it's a-otay...
passing it off as something it's not, on the other hand, like in the OP, that's not cool, ever...

Sounds just like some drunk people to me. Alot of the people I know that drink till there blacked out do act like that.
I don't think 25x is active orally. You have to hold a blotter of uncomplexed 25x under your tongue for at least 40 mins, 20 mins if complexed with HPBCD.
These people were prob rackin em up, which is a great concern for potential overdose, actually most of the 25x related deaths come from insufflation, which exacerbates the situation. You never want to be snorting any kind of powdered NBOMe. Trust me.
