PMA found in drugs haul October 11, 2007 - smh.com.au
Police have issued a renewed warning about a highly toxic amphetamine that is being sold as ecstasy.
A small number of the tablets, which have a Chanel logo or Pacman symbol, are not MDMA, or ecstasy, but paramethoxyamphetamine, or PMA, a potentially toxic hallucinogen responsible for at least six other deaths in Australia since 1995.
The tablets with PMA came from police seizures in western Sydney and on the Central Coast.
Annabel Catt, a 20-year-old a dance teacher from Elanora Heights, died after taking two tablets at the Good Vibrations music festival on February 17 this year.
An ensuing police investigation found the tablets were not ecstasy but PMA.
PMA was also detected in a 20-year-old NSW man, who died in Canberra in July.
This is the second time this year police have issued the warning about tablets containing PMA.
Today's warning comes after a report was done into the seized tablets by NSW Health's Division of Analytical Laboratories.
"The tablets had been seized in western Sydney and on the state's Central Coast, and had either a Chanel logo or Pacman symbol on them," Drug Squad Detective Acting Superintendent Rod Henness said.
"But the crucial point is that PMA has been found this year in other tablets with different symbols. I want to make it clear that this dangerous drug could be found in any tablet being sold as MDMA.
"I cannot emphasise enough the enormous risk you place on your life and liberty when taking illicit drugs.
"The contents, potency and effects of these drugs are an absolute unknown and you are gambling with your life when taking them.
"Young people and their parents should be aware of the potential dangers associated with the use of illicit drugs, particularly with the forthcoming end of school celebrations."
He said anyone suffering ill effects from drug taking should seek immediate medical attention.

This is why I don't like MDMA pills, because they rarely, if ever are MDMA.
And it kills my sex drive. Fail!

I disagree. Although many pills are adulterated, most pills at the very least have some MDMA in them.

Good call, not that I really care for the stuff but if ecstasy was still sold legally like in the early 80's this wouldn't be a problem.

Ate X should I say it was supposed to be X not once not twice but three times. Out of three times would be the best way to describe the experiences! Seems like a waste of time to make the pills look all "fancy" if you will and to be complete shit but then again most people just want a quick profit despite their fellow humanoids.
