The Health Service Executive has warned that"high strength" drugs have been identified at Electric Picnic, now underway in Stradbally, Co Laois.It is part of its ongoing drug harm reduction campaign.
Electric Picnic concert-goers can choose to anonymously submit substances in a 'surrender bin' at the HSE testing tent. Experts can then identify and communicate if extra dangerous substances are in circulation - and the HSE has now issued its first alert."The HSE lab has identified a Mybrand purple skull pill as high strength MDMA - it is approximately two times the average adult dose.Professor Eamon Keenan, HSE National Clinical Lead, Addiction Services said at the launch of the new drug testing tent last month, that he believes the measure will have an impact and"save lives".
He said:"We are currently very concerned about the emergence of new psychoactive substances and high potency substances which pose a threat to health."While this is a progression, the HSE messaging will remain clear, it is safer not to use drugs at all. "For those who choose to, they should still follow the practical steps recommended by the HSE to reduce the harms."
High strength experimental drugs have been detected in the people of Ireland in the last 18 months. The HSE has issued no warnings as to the side effects such as miocarditis, stroke, cardiac arrest, paralysis etc.

Drugs at a music festival...who'd have thunk.

The illegally manufactured drugs that were illegally sold are not safe!!!! Is Father Ted back?
Wouldn't mind bum dropping one of these
Just take them in halfs lol😎
That’s not the worst of it. 16 years olds at electric picnic were taking cocaine yesterday.
So now you can get your illegal drugs tested by The health service. So they can tell you if it's OK to take Illegal Drugs. 🤷♂️
It’s a feed of high strength Panadol you’d want above there listening to that racket.
In other news 💧 still wet, I’m still bald and our education ministers are still incompetent 😒
New punishers 🤪
Stradbally had always been full of drugs even without electric picnic
Stampede for Stradbally....😅

Drugs at a music festival? I'm shocked honestly.
Yep, stay away from drugs, you say while endorsing coercion to take them for 2 x years 😝
The e's when I was young were fantastic. I feel blessed to have grown up at such a time. I remember one night watching a lad from Dublin do a green velvet set in the student union. Green velvet was also there doing a set in the main hall.
HSE=pinch of salt
By saying “High Strength” drugs does the HSE just mean that they actually work? Unlike the not fit for purpose experimental mRNA toxic spike protein injections they have been pushing for years?
Jesuuus Christ ...are they monkeypox? What are ya charging for a bag? Down the boiler room.. big surprise! And not a pill to be seen! Feck sake.. it's as dry as rusty wrinkle socket here. Get your busted balloon knots down here now.. don't be shy

BackOfHouse testing has value for ReduceTheHarm , public health rapid response & early warning systems.
This is the advice from the HSE. It seems that RTÉ forgot to quote this accurately in their report. DrugReformIreland Decrim CannabisReformIreland
