NSW Police has today issued a renewed warning over a highly toxic and highly hallucinogenic drug following the receipt of new test results.

Drug Squad Commander Greig Newbery said the tests were conducted on drugs seized in December 2006 and January 2007, and which investigators originally suspected were ecstasy (MDMA).

“NSW Police has only just received results of testing by analytical laboratories attached to the Health Department which has revealed the seized items contained paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA),” Detective Superintendent Newbery said.

“The drug is regarded as a rare form of amphetamine that has previously been passed off as ecstasy (MDMA) pills and capsules.”

“We have now issued a number of images of both pills and capsules containing PMA to make the public aware of the many forms in which the drug is available.”

“We need to stress that these examples are not exhaustive and PMA can take any form.”

“The message to drug users is clear. Aside from the fact that these drugs are illegal and people taking them or possessing them can face criminal charges, PMA, and similarly-based drugs, are proven killers.”

“Whether they’re in pill or capsule form, the contents, potency and effects of illicit drugs are an absolute unknown.”

“You are gambling with your life, and the lives of others, if you take these substances or provide them for use.”

“If you, or any of your mates suffers any ill effects as a result of illicit drug use, seek urgent and immediate medical attention,” Detective Superintendent Newbery said.

The renewed warning follows the death of a 20-year-old Elanora Heights woman last Sunday morning (18 February 2007). Initial toxicology results indicate the drug may have been the cause of the female’s death.
