PMMA in various legal highs

In Spain, the Red Doves - one als „legal High“ verkauften product - a worrying mixture of substances was analysed. The light pink tablet (see photo) contained two research chemicals (Fluoroamphetamine/4-FA) and Methylenedioxy-alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone/MDPPP) also Para-metoxymethamphetamine (PMMA) found.

PMMA is an amphetamine derivative which, even at low doses, can lead to overdoses and subsequently to life-threatening conditions can lead to a loss of colour. You can find more information on PMMA here.

Die neueste PMMA-Meldung in Spanien, ist leider nur eine weitere von im Laufe des Jahres bereits vorausgegangenen ähnlichen Warnungen. In Schottland wurde bisher in folgenden „Legal High“-Produkten PMMA nachgewiesen: „E=XTC“, „Mind Candy“, „Xtacy ULTRA“, „Doves Red“ und „Doves Red Ultra“.

If you own a product with one of these names, we generally advise against consuming it. If you decide to consume it - despite the health risks - we recommend that you have the product analysed beforehand. Due to the increased health risk, we are temporarily accepting corresponding products for analysis in the home base. For this please come to Wednesday during the Homebase opening hours (15:00-18:00) over.
