[PSA] Girl's death after taking 'MasterCard' ecstasy prompts police warning

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/may/02/girls-death-after-taking-mastercard-ecstasy-prompts-police-warning

"A teenage girl has died in Greater Manchester after taking ecstasy at a sold-out clubbing event attended by up to 5,000 people, prompting police to warn others who may have taken the drug to urgently seek medical attention.

The girl, aged 17, had an adverse reaction to a form of ecstasy known as "MasterCard" in the early hours of Monday at Victoria Warehouse in Trafford, Greater Manchester police said. She died in hospital a short time later.

She is believed to have taken the small pink pill at an event called Don't Let Daddy Know (DLDK)."

I've saw these on the Markets in the past, make sure you all test your pills before consuming, so many cases of PMA pills in the past year alone.

Some guy on pillreports said he attended the event and it was so hot that many people were being treated for heat exhaustion. Add in dehydration and you have a recipe for disaster. Plus these are 200mg+ pills and she could have had more than one.

I wouldn't jump straight to the assumption that they were cut, although that is also a possibility.

I imagine there's some poor fucker who's just bought a few hundred of these somewhere. They're going to be hard to get rid of now.

Such a pity what happened though. RIP.

No way these were cut, mastercards are a legit nintendo crew press and I doubt there are fakes out there especially in europe where its easier to source. Most likely causes of death are hyponatremia and/or heat stroke.

This is why I still don't like pressies. Sure, they are an awesome novelty idea, don't get me wrong.

But to me, part of weighing and dosing out your shit before the event is also part of the ritual of taking something. Know what you are taking, test kit or not. But def test kit. If you purchase from a trusted vendor AND test kit your shit at home before the event...this kind of thing can be avoided.

I don't get why people take pre-pressed pills. Just get some pure MDMA and put it in a capsule.

is mdma supposed to give you a massive headache a day afterwards?

What was the girls name who was said to have overdosed on molly and created some real big stink but we all found out later she died from electrolyte imbalance due to over hydrating
