Our current warnings from calendar week 18 are online!
In mid / late April 2024, we tested a number of substances that pose a particular health risk. Some ecstasy tablets contained a high dose of MDMA. The new LSD analogue 1T-LSD was identified in several samples submitted for analysis as LSD. Two samples submitted as 1D-LSD also did not contain 1D-LSD, but 1T-LSD. In addition to mephedrone, the cathinone 4-BEC was detected in a sample submitted for analysis as mephedrone; two further mephedrone samples did not contain mephedrone but the cathinone 3-CMC (clophedrone).
The warnings show all samples that were analysed at the checkit! event and classified as high doses, unexpected or of particular health concern.

We are launching a new section: check the facts!
Time and again you read or hear that it is legally unproblematic to carry small amounts of illegal substances. This statement is particularly common in connection with cannabis.
"For your own use you may
possess cannabis."
"As long as you don't exceed the limit, nothing will happen to you."
But is that really true? First of all: no. No matter how much of a substance you possess: If it is included in the SMG, even possession of the smallest quantities is a criminal offence and will result in charges being brought!
More information in the post!
If you have any questions, please contact us or use the telephone legal advice service (contact details in the link tree).

🌐 31.03 is the international drug checking day - TEDI (Trans-European Drug Information Network) has written a paper about the context driving the need for drug checking services and decided to publish it to mark the occasion. 💊 📊
Drug markets can move quickly and unpredictably. At the moment the TEDI network has deep concerns that highly potent and pharmacologically diverse substances may enter the European drug market to an unknown extent. Therefore, the maintenance, implementation, and expansion of various harm reduction interventions and their adaptation to the new challenges, is necessary to reduce the risk of a public health crisis. By ensuring that a wide range of harm reduction interventions such as Drug Checking Services and Drug Consumption Rooms are available and accessible, we can ensure regular contact with people who use drugs, target harm reduction measures and strengthen market monitoring efforts by increasing the number of opportunities to obtain samples for analysis.

Our current warnings for calendar week 12 are online!
At the beginning of March 2024, we tested a number of substances of particular health concern. In addition to several high-dose or very high-dose ecstasy tablets, the cathinone 2-MMC (2-methylmethcathinone) was also identified in a sample submitted as MDMA. Two samples submitted for analysis as speed did not contain amphetamine, but 2-MMC or cocaine. The synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-4en-PINACA was identified in one sample submitted for analysis as THC cannabis; an unknown substance was detected in another. Two samples submitted as 3-MMC did not contain the expected cathinone, but instead contained 2-MMC and mephedrone (4-MMC). A powder delivered as 5-MeO-MiPT turned out to be 4-FMA (4-fluoromethamphetamine). A sample delivered as mephedrone also contained ketamine and 2-MMC in addition to mephedrone. Another sample was found to contain 3-CMC (clophedrone) in addition to mephedrone.
The warnings show all samples that were analysed at the checkit! event and classified as high doses, unexpected or of particular health concern.

If alcohol, drugs or other psychoactive substances are consumed at the same time or in succession, this can have unpredictable and dangerous effects on the body. Substances often have a completely different effect when combined.
You can find out what risks arise and what you can watch out for in our new video. You can find the YouTube link in our link tree.
If you have any questions, please contact the checkit team! 😊

A high can be a lot of fun, but it can also be unpleasant or even go wrong because things happen that you don't want. But why is that the case?
The effects of substances are influenced by various factors. In our new video, you can find out what these are and how you can minimise the risks yourself when consuming substances. You can find the YouTube link in the link tree.

Benzodiazepines (also known as "benzos") are drugs used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. Benzodiazepines have a broad spectrum of effects. They have an anxiolytic, sedative, muscle-relaxing, anticonvulsant and sleep-inducing effect.
❗️ Risks
- Rapid tolerance build-up: more and more is needed to achieve the desired effect
- Strong psychological and physical dependence
- An overdose can lead to disinhibited behaviour as well as drowsiness and even unconsciousness
⚠ Danger to life!
If you consume benzodiazepines and other "downers" (e.g. alcohol, GHB or opioids) at the same time or in quick succession, your breathing can slow down considerably. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to respiratory arrest and death.
💊 Black market
Even if the appearance of the tablet or the packaging looks very similar to the original, you never know what ingredients you are dealing with when buying benzodiazepines from the black market.
‼️ We strongly advise against the use of untested benzodiazepines that have not been prescribed by a doctor ‼️
💡 Risk reduction:
- Have benzos from the darknet or from the street analysed by a drug checker!
- Only take benzodiazepines prescribed by a doctor from the pharmacy.
- High risk of addiction! With benzos, stick to the prescription and avoid prolonged use.
- Warning: Danger to life! Mixed consumption with alcohol or other downers (e.g. GHB, opioids) can lead to respiratory depression and even respiratory paralysis.
- Take care of each other!
-Call the emergency services (144) if you or someone else is not feeling well after using it.
If you have any questions, please contact the checkit team, whose contact details can be found in the link tree.

A tablet dispensed as Xanax® contained the research benzodiazepine flualprazolam instead of the expected alprazolam. A Captagon® tablet sample contained amphetamine, caffeine, theophylline and an unknown substance instead of the expected fenetylline.

At the end of December 2023, we tested a number of substances of particular health concern.

Edibles are edible cannabis products that contain THC and/or CBD. For example, in the form of sweets such as gummy bears 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).
