A Dutch Institute Issues a 'Red Alert' over Potentially Lethal Trump-Shaped Ecstasy Pills
The institute said the pills may cause overdose and overheating because PMMA acts more slowly than MDMA, and no serious illnesses have been reported.
- On Friday, the Dutch Trimbos Institute issued a "Red Alert" warning users about potentially lethal ecstasy pills shaped to resemble the head of President Donald Trump.
- The institute warned these pills contain high concentrations of PMMA, a chemical similar to MDMA that acts slower, risking fatal overdoses if users take additional doses thinking the first pill didn't work.
- Featuring green and yellow variations, the Trump-shaped pills display "NL" and "Trump" markings on both sides. German police seized thousands of similar tablets in 2017.
- Spokesperson Anniek Groothuis told The Associated Press that the institute has received no reports of serious illness or fatalities among people who may have used the pills.
- A 2024 government report estimates 550,000 people took ecstasy within a single year in the Netherlands, where producing and using the drug remains illegal.
