Nitazenes in teddy bear tablets. Third alert of this pill design (different colours) across Australia, this time a mix of protonitazepyne and protonitazene. Two previous alerts from drug checking services were expected to be oxycodone. Alert : share.google/tndeZXHQ31mj...

New nitazene identified by @cantestcbr.bsky.social Isotocyanozene (5-cyanoisotonitazene). Harm reduction and early warning all wrapped into one.

Also meanwhile in Queensland, drug checking service CheQpoint reports second detection of potent nitazene opioid in fake oxycodone tablet. ACT, Victoria and NSW are moving forward with drug checking aka pill testing. Let's hope QLD doesn't go backwards.

Protonitazene in a bear tablet thought to be oxy, and a SCRA in powder sold as a benzo. Important community notices coming out of CanTest drug checking and being shared at TheKnow.org.au
