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, itās not even the most potent of the nitazenes. This is a <dangerous> class of drugs, and should be avoided. Fantastic effort by our analysts,

107k+ people died of overdose in 2023, despite the U.S.'s de facto response of criminalization. Electeds cannot keep putting resources behind a criminal response to a public health crisis. We have evidence-based tools that are proven to work. Learn more: https://t.co/KaM7BEvrMm

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! https://t.co/DmB6b43W98
