The Trip Report 15/11
Even if you know exactly what you’re taking, drug use is never safe — that said, it’s much safer when you do.
Through the work of organisations such as WEDINOS, The Loop, and SaferParty, we know a little more about the drugs in circulation. The report provided below is a summary of their findings over the last week. This report is primarily UK-focused and couldn’t possibly cover everything, so if you find something I’ve missed please contact me and I’ll get it updated.
The absence of a product from this list doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be there; you might have something more dangerous than anything listed, but it just hasn’t been reported yet. A vital tool for any drug user is a testkit, which allows you to identify roughly what is actually in your stash. You can find them here and if you need any help interpreting your results, the HUP also offers a result resource here.
Final note: This report does not constitute medical advice. Some harm-reduction tips are offered, but if in doubt then for God’s sake, seek medical attention.
Standing Warnings
As the drug supply has degraded, our list of standing warnings has grown. Rather than give you the same information at the top of every report, you can find a dedicated article here and we’ll tell you here of any updates.
Warning: High Dose — 202mg
Substance: MDMA
Location: Madrid
Advice: These pills are generally intended to contain more than one dose and as such, most come with a breakline. If you spot a pill on The Trip report, odds are you’ll want to snap it and have a half or even less to have the best experience.
Once you’re already up, you’ll want to avoid redosing, stay cool and maintain adequate hydration. Many users will dehydrate through sweat, but sweating also sheds electrolytes and some users have suffered from hyponatremia from drinking only water to replenish themselves. If possible, find a sports drink like Lucozade or, if no other solutions are available, add a pinch of salt to the occasional glass of water.

As this press appears to have a huge range of doses, I would strongly advise breaking them up even more finely and adopting start-low-go-slow to work up to the desired experience. After all, the window stated above is only for the samples we have — there could be pills out there that are far weaker or stronger than these.

Warning: Mislabelled Substance
Substance: 2C-B*
Sold as: 2C-B
Location: Vienna
Advice: For anyone who missed this before, 2C-B* appears to be an inactive sibling to proper 2C-B (it’s actually come up a few times now, but that’s the one where I went into some detail). While we believe it to be inert and therefore relatively harmless, very little is known about the substance and it may prove to have long-term consequences we can’t foresee. That means that the standard rules of thumb apply — if nothing’s happening, stop taking it.

Warning: Adulterated Substance
Substance: 4-CMC and MDMA
Sold as: MDMA
Location: London
Advice: This is a really unfortunate sample — given the unquantified results offered by WEDINOS, we don’t have any ratios or doses to work with when looking at it and 4-CMC is almost uniquely difficult to test for when mixed with MDMA. Entirely unresponsive to most reagents and only mildly responsive to the rest, 4-CMC is pretty much invisible among the intense reactions MDMA produces.
This means that we have no specific dosing information and very little basis to test for the presence of 4-CMC, so all I can really suggest is to be extremely serious with your harm reduction practices, if you decide to touch these things (I’m told they were once Chupa Chup pills) at all.

Warning: Mislabelled Substance
Substance: Caffeine
Sold as: MDMA
Location: Colchester
Advice: This is about the cheapest, laziest option for substitution going in the market, but fortunately it’s also among the safest. Caffeine is better-tolerated than these other substances in itself, before we even account for the fact that the vast majority of people taking this will already have some familiarity and tolerance to the stuff.
Unless you’re specifically allergic/hypersensitive to caffeine or keep redosing in vain, odds are that your wallet is the only thing harmed by this substitution. In short, simple harm reduction practices like starting low and going slow are all you’d need to mitigate the risks posed by such a substitution.
To protect your wallet too, a simple Marquis test can identify this substitution in a few seconds: the reagent will turn deep purple-black in the presence of MDMA, whereas it won’t react at all to caffeine.

Caffeine info: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Caffeine
Warning: Mislabelled Substance
Substance: Methamphetamine and caffeine
Sold as: Adderall
Location: Swansea
Advice: Without knowing the ratio of meth to caffeine, it’s impossible for us to make any claims regarding dose differential or safety advice specific to this sample. Similarly, we can’t offer much assistance in identifying them — your best bet would be to identify the difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine using either Robadope or Simon’s reagents. Robadope won’t respond to meth, while producing a red colour when exposed to amphetamine, while Simons will turn dark blue in the presence of meth in contrast to red/brown from amphetamine. We’d point out though, that we don’t know how Robadope will respond to caffeine, if at all, so this may be altered by its presence if you have one of these pills.
We would particularly advise start-low-go-slow practices for this, as the pill advertises a robust 30mg dose of Adderall, so we have no idea how much of this meth/caffeine blend it may contain.

Warning: Mislabelled Substance
Substance: 4-CMC
Sold as: MDMA
Location: London
Advice: The risk of accidental overdose with this stuff seems to be a lot less present than the likes of NEP (think back to methylone for a better comparison), but it seems to be pretty unpleasant stuff with deeply concerning capacity for long term harm.
This means that there isn’t much for us to suggest in terms of in-the-moment harm reduction beyond the usual (start low / go slow, don’t redose if it’s not working for you etc) and to test your pills. Manufacturers are using easily-bought moulds for these presses, so identical pills can be present at the same time, even the same place and contain completely different drugs (The Loop recently identified 4 identical pharaoh pills in one weekend, containing 4 different drugs).

Warning: Mislabelled Substance
Substance: 1cP-LSD
Sold as: LSD
Location: Bern
Advice: To be honest, I tossed a coin on whether to write anything up for this, given that the risks are low and there’s not much advice to offer. The original 1P-LSD was pretty popular in countries like Germany where, despite being a prodrug to LSD and almost identical on an experiential level, it was inexplicably totally legal. That eventually changed, and 1cP-LSD was accordingly developed and released in 2019.
All the experience reports I’ve found have indicated that this is even more similar to LSD than the original 1P, to the point that the difference is basically imperceptible. Some reports indicate that it’s more potent on a mike-for-mike level, but that’s likely to relate to those users believing overstated LSD doses previously more than anything.
As with any psychedelic, your experience depends as much on your mindset going in and the setting in which you consume it as it does on the substance itself, but given that all reports indicate this to be effectively identical to OG-LSD, it’s pretty unlikely that it’ll make any difference.

Substance: Etizolam, HEX-EN and N-ethylheptedrone
Sold as: Hexedrone
Location: Zurich
Advice: You know it’s bad when Cayman Chemical is linked in the info section. If it’s any consolation, I’ve spotted N-ethylheptedrone before, while cruising Bluelight for research in another project, and it is broadly described as similar to HEX-EN but less active (stretching out carbon chains to this extent tends to have that effect).
That’s about all I have to offer on this one though. We don’t know the concentration of any of the substances in this cocktail, we don’t have any reagent results for them, nothing. If you must buy hexedrone in the current market, all I can suggest is that you send it off to a lab like WEDINOS to get it fully confirmed before you even touch it, and even then be sure to carefully practice harm reduction strategies when using it.

Substance: MDMA and mephedrone
Sold as: MDMA
Location: Utrecht
Advice: God, DIMS comes across the strangest samples. Right out of the gate, it’s pretty much impossible to offer straightforward advice on using this sample because while it was identified as having 160mg of MDMA, we have no idea how much mephedrone was in it (it’s a lot harder to quantify).This means it could effectively just be a regular ecstasy pill with imperceptibly small traces of meph in it, or it could be as much as 50:50 ratio. Regular harm reduction protocols (start low go slow etc, you know the drill by now) would help you to enjoy whatever this is relatively safely, though.
You can identify this sample quite simply using Marquis reagent. MDMA’s intense purple-black colour change would overwhelm most other results, but mephedrone simply causes Marquis reagent to fizz — if you spot that, you’ve got meph in your sample.

Substance: a-PvP
Sold as: MDMA
Location: Bristol
Advice: CHRIST
I would think this stuff is rarer than gold dust as it is, sold at ludicrous prices to collectors like a piece of fine art, and here it is being sold as MDMA in a random Bristol gaff. Without having any idea of dose I can’t offer specific information about this pill, but I’d recommend extreme caution with it in any case: while a-PvP is considered a legendary drug, it is also known for one of the most intense redose impulses (fiending) going, and can quickly pull you into a binge that’ll ruin your life.
Like mephedrone above, a-PvP will cause Marquis reagent to fizz — since this sample contains no MDMA we’d expect no purple-black colour change here, just the fizz.
