Torontovibe: Partying this weekend?
Reports have been circulating around Toronto that "research chemicals" are being sold as, or being used to cut, MDMA. They might look the same, and the effects can be similar, but they can have a different high and the physiological effects can be unpredictable.
What you can do:
- Test your supplies with a chemical testing kit.
- Ask around. Know your source.
- Be patient and wait for it to kick in before taking more.
- Avoid snorting powder you haven't tried before. Ingesting is usually less harmful.
- Have a "sober sitter" so at least one person can help out if people start tripping.
- Listen to your friends. If someone's not feeling well, help them out.
- Don't take more drugs to counter the effects.
