Watch Out Down Under –
Dec. 27, 2019 – NSW was rocked this year when MDMA was involved in the death of six people at music festivals. The NSW Poisons Information Centre’s Professor Andrew Dawson said the new strand was extremely highly-dosed.
The seized LEGO-shaped MDMA had an average dose of 150mg. “While one MDMA tablet/capsule alone can cause life-threatening toxicity, the risk is greatly increased if high doses or multiple MDMA tablets or capsules are consumed over a short period, or if MDMA is consumed in combination with alcohol or other stimulants,” Prof Dawson said on Saturday.
“Hot weather will also increase the dangers, as MDMA causes the body to dangerously overheat, potentially leading to organ failure, loss of consciousness and death.”
