Harm reduction for drug users, by drug users - supply updates and trend analysis at https://reportingtrips.substack.com/
We return to the wave of Pop Smokes continuing to wash over Europe and the broader recovery of the European MDMA market in this month's Pill Report: open.substack.com/pub/reportin...

In this month's main Trip Report, it seems like everyone is catching up on what they missed over the festive period so this is a bigyin!

The Trip Report - February 2025
Even if you know exactly what you’re taking, drug use is never safe — that said, it’s much safer when you do.

Half of the community drug-checking capacity in BC was lost today, as we were forced to close the doors on Get Your Drugs Tested.

We are working to re-open as soon as possible.

THREAD 1/5
We are closing Get Your Drugs Tested on Monday!

We are in a financial crisis caused by the Nov 2024 raid on The Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary, and the recent Jan 29 raid on The Medicinal Cannabis Dispensary.

We hope to re-open soon, but we need time to stabilize.

Month 2 and we're already running late lol - looks like our sources had a lot to catch up on from December so this is gonna be massive! 32 samples so far and I still have 25 pages of WEDINOS to read 🫠

The latest edition of The Pill Report is now available: this series simply shares descriptions of ecstasy pills that are highly or variably dosed (and, worst case scenario, both!)

Our samples this week come from from drogenarbeitz6.at, saferparty.ch and energycontrol.org!

We're back! The latest edition of The Trip Report covers everything we found from December, with the next Pill Report coming in 2 weeks time (so each will be monthly)

In the latest bumper catch-up Trip Report, we have barrelled headlong into the festival season! Trends become a little messier at this time of year as forgotten stashes get reopened and curiosities are indulged, but it makes for curious reading: open.substack.com/pub/reportin...

With my apologies for the brief hiatus, here's the bonus bumper catch-up edition of The Trip Report! This edition features a hell of a lot of nitazenes (as expected at this point) and some curious adulterations that thus far seem pretty UK-specific:

The latest edition of The Pill Report, in contrast to Trip Reports of late, is looking pretty promising. The average dose seems to be levelling out and batches seem to get more consistent every week.

The trends appearing in the first TTR of 2024 look a lot like those of 2023. Benzo/nitazene combinations still dominate, and we're even seeing a resurgence (seemingly isolated atm) of cathinone adulteration in ecstasy.

The latest Pill Report is pretty damn Swiss, but it's just that saferparty.ch really hit the ground running in 2024 and have more results

The pill market is pretty homogenous across Europe, luckily, so it's still worth a skim:

With this final report, we close out 2023 - a banner year for MDMA, but a really really bad time to be using downers and... a lateral move for Viagra fans?

The final Pill Report of 2023 is dominated by the Pop Smoke, which is being reported as being incredibly potent across Europe with very few low-dose pills reported.

However, as long-time readers know, my heart still belongs to the prodigal Blue Punisher...

In much, much lighter news, this week's Pill Report shows the continuing recovery of Europe's ecstasy market. Dose ranges (barring one particular exception) are narrowing and press quality is significantly improving.

The latest edition of The Trip Report is extremely grim reading - "benzodope" has come to the UK in a big way, and any glib comments from me would feel pretty tasteless. You can find linked below, but for ease of reading/sharing I'll speak on it a bit here.

On my way to attend the founding of the Scottish Socialist Youth's vital campaign to Help Not Harm - the momentum is with us in the drive to humanise our approach to drug use, there couldnt be a better time to demand that we expand on this progress and embed it in law!

The latest edition of The Pill Report sees festival season really go out with a bang!

We're starting to see regular reports of pills approaching 300mg, damn near a return to the glory days of PartyFlock/QDance back in 2018/19 - check it out:
