Lidocaine sold as MDMA
Risk assessment
These as MDMA sample sold as MDMA did not contain MDMA, but lidocaine.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic and is found as a drug in tablets, powders, sprays and ointments. Lidocaine is also used as an extender for cocaine due to its anaesthetic effect. If lidocaine is consumed intravenously, this can lead to an AV block and thus to a slowed heartbeat (bradycardia, bradyarrhythmia). In extreme cases, the ventricles can stop completely, which is life-threatening without medical treatment.
The risk of overdose is lower with other forms of consumption. However, the following side effects can occur even at doses typical for MDMA: Central nervous system effects (such as agitation, seizures, etc.), cardiac effects (arrhythmia), drop in blood pressure and allergic reactions. The risk of an overdose is also increased if a subsequent dose is taken due to the lack of a stimulating effect.
With powders and crystals, false declarations occur time and again; therefore, be sure to have these substances tested!
