Q:When is Esctasy not Ecstasy A: When it’s PMA/PMMA

2014-07-21T13:24:57+00:00July 21st, 2014|

PMA_Poster_A3_download A number of pills recently sold as ecstasy were tested and found to contain PMA/PMMA.  These drugs differ from MDMA - traditionally the active ingredient in Ecstasy pills - and have been linked to a number of recent hospitalisations and deaths. There's no way of telling what's in a pill, just by looking at it. It's always safest not to take unknown or illicit drugs at all, but if you are going to use, be in the know. Please click on the poster attached for more important information on PMA/PMMA.
