Unsere aktuellen Warnungen von Kalenderwoche 26 sind nun online!
The warnings show all samples that have been analysed since the last publication of checkit! and classified as high-dose, unexpected or of particular health concern.
Mitte Juni 2025 haben wir eine Reihe an gesundheitlich besonders bedenklichen Substanzen getestet. In einer als Ecstasy abgegeben Tablette wurden die Wirkstoffe Methamphetamin, 5-MAPB und 5-MeO-MIPT detektiert. In weiteren als Ecstasy abgegeben Tabletten wurden zum Teil extrem hohe Wirkstoffgehälter festgestellt. Eine als Speed deklarierte Probe enthielt ausschließlich DMT und N-Methyltryptamin. In zwei Cannabisprodukten wurden die synthetische Cannabinoide MDMB-4en-PINACA sowie ADB-BUTINACA aufgefunden.
On 26 June, thousands of activists worldwide share one voice: #SupportDontPunish! A new, sustainable, approach to #DrugPolicy based on respect, care and support is possible. Let`s build it!
The new Ketamine Trendsheet is here 🥳🕵ℹ As part of the East-West cooperation, @drogenarbeitz6 in Innsbruck and @checkit.wien in Vienna regularly analyse data together. This time, the focus was on trends and developments in the substance ketamine.
Ketamine is a "dissociative anaesthetic" and is used as an anaesthetic and painkiller. In non-medical use, it is usually consumed nasally as a white crystalline powder and is covered by the NPSG (New Psychoactive Substances Act). Z6 and checkit! frequently provide information and advice on ketamine.
The number of samples analysed has increased over the years. If you have any questions about ketamine, please feel free to contact us at any time 😊 #CheckIt #checkit #drugworkz6 #z6 #saferuse #saferparty #ketamine #ketamine #drugchecking #drugcheckingresults #drugs...
Our current warnings for calendar week 24 are now online!
The warnings show all samples that have been analysed since the last publication of checkit! and classified as high-dose, unexpected or of particular health concern.
At the end of May / beginning of June 2025, we tested a number of substances of particular health concern. One tablet submitted for analysis as ecstasy contained a mixture of MDMA, amphetamine, caffeine, ketamine and paracetamol; some other ecstasy tablets contained a (very) high dose of MDMA. Two samples submitted as ketamine contained cocaine with extenders (levamisole and procaine respectively) and another ketamine sample contained 2-MMC and procaine. Mephedrone was detected in two MDMA samples - once in addition to MDMA and once exclusively. HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) was detected in one CBD sample.
In Vienna, the addition of the synthetic MDMB-4en-PINACA was detected in a sample delivered as edible.
Edibles are edible cannabis products that contain THC and/or CBD. For example, in the form of sweets such as jelly babies and chocolate or as drinks.
There are also edibles on the market that contain semi-synthetic or purely synthetic cannabinoids, for example. Their effect can be many times stronger than that of THC.
❗RISKS When consuming edibles, the active ingredients are absorbed more slowly than when smoking. The effects occur later and last longer. This makes dosing more difficult.
It is not clear from the packaging which active ingredients are actually present and in what quantity. This makes dosing and achieving the desired effect even more difficult.
As many products are sold as sweets such as gummy bears or chocolate, there is a great risk of confusion. This poses a major risk for children in particular.
!! Unwitting consumption can have serious health consequences.
💡 RISK REDUCTION If you decide to consume despite the health and legal risks, please note the following:
- Consume only small amounts and wait for the effect (at least one hour). - Avoid mixed consumption with other psychoactive substances (including alcohol). - Do not consume alone. - Only consume when you are feeling well, in a place where you feel comfortable and with people you trust. - Look out for each other! Talk to friends if someone is not feeling well and don't hesitate to get help. - Keep the products out of reach of other people.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the checkit! team. You can find our contact details on our website (link in the link tree).

The dose plays an important role when it comes to the consumption of psychoactive substances. If you take too much, you may be confronted with unexpected or even dangerous consequences. The appearance of a substance or pill is no indication of its strength, active ingredients or other contents. In our video, we summarise which factors are relevant for the effect and the risk posed by habituation or high doses. We explain what users need to look out for and how they can reduce the risk of an overdose.
You can find the whole video on YouTube - link in the link tree.
If you have any questions, please contact the checkit! team :)

What's in our food is written on the packaging. This makes it clear what's inside. This is not at all clear with psychoactive substances from the black market. Because there are no rules, ingredient lists or controls! That's why it's easy to add extenders to substances. But - what are extenders anyway? Why are they used? And how can they work? In our video, we summarise what you need to look out for and how you can reduce risks. You can find the whole video on YouTube - link in the link tree.
If you have any questions, please contact the checkit! team :)
