Urgent drug warning: ‘MDMA (Ecstasy) powder’ in Sydney region

Urgent drug warning: ‘MDMA (Ecstasy) powder’ found to contain: 25C-NBOMe a synthetic hallucinogen; and 4-fluoroamphetamine, a stimulant. Several hospitalisations have been reported in the Sydney region.

The NBOMe drugs can cause vivid hallucinations, violence, fear and agitation, the combination of which can lead to accidents, harm to self and others.

These drugs are potent and can be life threatening.

4-fluoroamphetamine causes similar effects to MDMA and amphetamine.

You are at increased risk of harm: 

  • If you use drugs alone
  • As your dose increases
  • If you use with other substances that cause hallucinations e.g. LSD, ketamine; or stimulants e.g. MDMA, cocaine or methamphetamine.

    The current cluster in NSW appears to be a light brown powder misrepresented as MDMA. NBOMe drugs are usually found in the form of blotting paper, liquid and tablets. They can also be misrepresented as LSD.

Effects to look out for:

Serious adverse effects may include violent behaviour, vivid hallucinations, fever, agitation, derealisation and depersonalisation.
