Wild Trump-shaped ecstasy pills impose 'Red Alert' lethal consumption threat
New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- The Dutch Trimbos Institute issued a warning about ecstasy pills shaped like U.S. President Donald Trump's head, which contain a potentially lethal chemical called PMMA.
- These pills, recently submitted to drug-testing centers, feature the Trump head image on one side and "NL" and "Trump" stamped on the other, with colors including green and yellow.
- PMMA acts slower than MDMA, increasing the risk of overdose as users may consume more thinking the initial dose was ineffective, potentially causing overheating and fatal consequences.
- Although no serious illnesses or deaths linked to these pills have been reported, the institute strongly advises against using them.
- Despite ecstasy being illegal in the Netherlands, it remains widely used, with around 550,000 users reported in 2024, especially at clubs and music festivals.
