High-dose MDMA skull tablets are being circulated in NSW.

The Department of Health has issued a warning regarding the presence of high-dose MDMA tablets in circulation within New South Wales. These tablets, shaped like skulls, have been found to contain a much stronger dose of the drug than is typically expected. In addition, some of these tablets also contain another stimulant called dipentylone. These tablets come in various colors - blue, yellow, or pink-orange - and are imprinted with the word "MYBRAND" and a logo.

According to NSW Health, there is limited information available on the effects of dipentylone on humans. However, it is known that the risk of MDMA increases when it is taken with other stimulants. Dr. Darren Roberts, the Medical Director of the NSW Poisons Information Centre, has specifically warned festivalgoers about the potential dangers of high doses of MDMA in combination with hot environments. He stated that MDMA can cause severe agitation, increase body temperature, lead to seizures or irregular heart rhythms, and even result in death. He also emphasized that the amount of MDMA in a tablet or capsule can vary significantly, even within the same batch.

In light of these risks, Dr. Roberts urged MDMA users to be cautious when attending festivals. He recommended taking breaks from dancing, seeking shade, and staying hydrated to reduce the risk of overheating. He also reassured individuals that seeking medical attention in the event of feeling unwell is not a punishable offense.

In case of an emergency, festivalgoers are encouraged to call Triple Zero for immediate assistance. Additionally, there are trained medical providers and peer volunteers from programs like DanceWize NSW who are ready to support patrons at major festivals. Other event staff members are also trained to assist individuals who may be experiencing adverse effects from drug use.
