NSW - Community notice: Contaminated MDMA powder and capsules

Published on November 9, 2023

Contaminated MDMA powder and capsules found in NSW 

Recent samples of MDMA have shown to be mixed with various synthetic cathinones, ketamine, and ketamine analogues. This could produce a completely different experience than taking MDMA alone.⁠

Remember:⁠

  • Start Low and Go Slow - only take a small amount to start with and use a physical timer - like a phone alarm - to space out your doses.⁠
  • Keep Hydrated - Drink 1 cup of water per hour or 2 if you are dancing or are in the heat. Add electrolyte drinks like sports drinks or coconut water for extra hydration.⁠
  • Limit alcohol intake - it’s not recommended to mix alcohol with MDMA or Ketamine. These combinations can be toxic, best to avoid altogether.⁠
