🚨 There’s a Red Alert out of @CanTESTCBR 🚨.
N-PP is the same creature that hit Ireland in late 2023. >50 patients in 5d in Dublin, >20 in Cork in 6d. 25x more potent than fentanyl, it’s not even the most potent of the nitazenes. This is a <dangerous> class of drugs, and should be avoided. Fantastic effort by our analysts,

The secret sauce of @pilltestingaus has always been the placement of those with ‘lived experience’ at the centre of our process. We are a service, for the community, <with> the community. Anything else is just lip service….

Contrary to some reporting doing the rounds today, the folks at @pilltestingaus and @CanTESTCBR can obviously identify products not previously characterised, and even add them to the libraries that colleagues are using around the world!.

A new drug, nicknamed 'CanKet' has been discovered at CanTEST, Australia’s first and only fixed-site, face-to-face drug checking service in Canberra.
As @MessengerAndrew reports - Australia’s first multi-day festival pill testing clinic in Warwick found that many of the drugs sold as MDMDA proved to be other substances including one known as “Canberra ketamine”. Pill testing saves lives. #PillTesting
