I keep being told Afghan heroin still available in UK, but looks like some people are dangerously experimenting with various nitazenes, just in case as threatened, a third Afghan harvest is missed this year, and heroin begins to get scarce.
Here are 3 worrying screen shots from WEDINOS website

I am proud to wear one of @peterkrykant.bsky.social ‘s T-shirts because I agree with him. (Also could be an ideal and thought provoking present idea for grandparents like me. Only a handful of T-shirts left) Let’s do better for the next generation.

12 examples of "nitazenes" sent to WEDINOS.org from all over the UK in last 3 months (123 examples in 2024 so far). Intended purchase was usually Diazepam, Oxycodone or Heroin.
Most recent person however had intended to buy the nitazene. I just hope they know it's hard to judge a non-fatal dose.

Previous 7 examples of this nitazene seen by WEDINOS sent for testing from all over the UK, were disguised as Oxycodone pills.

Via WEDINOS.org site: Very worryingly 8th example of isotonitazepyne (n-pyrrolidino isotonitazene), one of the most dangerous nitazenes seen so far, bought in powder form (via dark web?) by somebody in Newcastle-upon-Tyne last week. Danger of accidental overdose as too hard to judge non-fatal dose.

Could it be less harmful than cocaine? When UK mephedrone was briefly "legal high" my cocaine-liking-patients liked it and took it in preference to cocaine. Cocaine related deaths fell that year, with very few mephedrone related deaths.Since it was banned, cocaine deaths climb each year for 12yrs
