Since the beginning of September, we have tested a number of substances that pose a particular health risk. Very high-dose ecstasy tablets continue to dominate the market. In addition, new synthetic substances were again identified: on one occasion, the three new synthetic substances 25C-NBOMe + 25I-NBOMe + 25H-NBOMe were detected in a sample sold as LSD. In addition to 25C-NBOMe, 25I-NBOMe was also detected in a powder sold as 25C-NBOMe. Furthermore, the pyrovalerone derivative alpha-PVP was identified in a substance sold as "unknown". In addition, 4-methylamphetamine was detected in a sample submitted as speed.

Attention! Emergencies after consumption of incense mixture
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction warns against the incense mixture "Mocarz": in Poland, hundreds of people have been hospitalised with symptoms of poisoning after consuming "Mocarz".
According to information from the National Institute of Medicines in Warsaw, changing ingredients were found in the product, as with other incense blends: JWH-203, JWH-081, JWH-019 (tested in 2010), UR-144 and 5F-AKB48 (tested in 2014) and UR-144 and 5-FUR-144 (XLR-11) (tested in 2015). According to more recent analyses, the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-CHMICA was detected. The samples used for these analyses came from people with symptoms of intoxication. However, it is not yet clear whether all cases can be linked to the substance MDMB-CHMICA.
We strongly advise against the consumption of "Mocarz"!

Attention! Falsified analysis results!
Relevant online shops are currently trying to prove the quality of their products with supposedly corresponding analysis results from checkit!
These analysis results are without exception falsified and say nothing about the composition of the products in these shops!
This procedure shows once again that online shops are in no way trustworthy and that information on quality etc. is fictitious. As we never hand out results in printed form, but only pass on results in a personal conversation, you can always assume that any images of checkit! results slips on the Internet are fakes!
