You can find fentanyl test strips and directions to use them at DanceSafe.org!

How to Get and Use Fentanyl Testing Strips Fentanyl recently became the deadliest drug in America, according to a CDC report in December. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is sometimes mixed into other illicit drugs, but it’s far more potent than what it’s usually mixed with. This means that a dose that seemed safe(ish) can be deadly, but yo...

Where is fentanyl added to co***ne? Mostly in Ohio. Result: 3,000 dead. Nearly 3,000 Ohio residents have been killed by co***ne-fentanyl mixtures. How is it happening? Who's doing it? Why?

TL;DR: Naphthalene (moth balls) sold as M**A in ‘East Canada’ ⚠️

According to an ecstasydata.org submission, a brown, crystalline powder sourced as M**A in 'East Canada' tested as naphthalene, a chemical used in insecticides, surface active agents and resins, and as a dye intermediate, synthetic tanning agent, and moth repellent. Acute (short term) exposure to naphthalene by inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact is associated with hemolytic anemia, damage to the liver, and neurological damage.

Sender notes state: “Not sure why it smells so bad.” Naphthalene has a strong, mothball smell described as pungent, sickly-sweet odor. While there may be a faint chemical smell to M**A, it should not have a distinct, strong, or pungent odor. Reagent results from the lab indicate that naphthalene reacted grey-green with both Marquis and Mecke, and brown with Mandelin.

While it is unfortunate that there is no city or province identified for the submission or source of the substance, drug markets are expansive and this counterfeit M**A may appear in other geographic regions in Canada and the US. Always test before you ingest to avoid ingesting misrepresented or counterfeit substances.
