Institute Issues 'Red Alert' over Potentially Lethal Trump-Shaped Ecstasy Pills
- On Friday, the Trimbos Institute issued a "Red Alert" warning users about ecstasy pills shaped like the head of President Donald Trump that contain PMMA, a potentially lethal chemical.
- PMMA is a chemical similar to MDMA that acts more slowly, potentially causing users to consume additional doses and risk fatal overheating, the institute warned.
- The Trump-shaped tablets feature green or yellow faces stamped with markings, echoing a 2017 incident when German police seized thousands of similar orange Trump-shaped pills.
- Spokesperson Anniek Groothuis stated the Trimbos Institute has no reported cases of serious illness or fatalities, yet she urged: "Absolutely do not use these pills."
- Producing, selling, and using ecstasy remains illegal in the Netherlands, although the drug is widely used at clubs and music festivals throughout the country.
