Super strength Extasy pills that contain life-threatening levels of MDMA are back in circulation in the UK when pills return to pre-Pandemic strengths, experts warn.
Tests performed at the popular party drug this year showed a few pills that contain up to 339 mg MDMA, three times the common dose, an update that was revealed today.
The Loop, a drug test service licensed by Home Office, found that the average pilster was exceeded pre-pandemic levels at 192g-on the 187 mg record last year.
Almost 40 percent of the pills now contain more than 200 mg of stimulating agents. People died of taking only 150 mg MDMA, although no quantity is considered safe.
Prior to the festival season, which started last weekend with Glastonbury, the non-profit organization warned that these changes in the ‘MDMA pill market’ could pose a serious threat to Ecstasy users.
In an X, formerly Twitter post, the charity warned people that a single pill does not mean any dose, which emphasizes the risks of an overdose – including heart attack, epileptic seizures and even death.
It marks the first time The loop has found pills that have contain a shocking 340 mg of MDMA since the pandemic. They were identified at Parklife Festival in June 2025.
MDMA is a stimulating and psychedelic thought to re -wipen connections in the brain, so that the fear is filled in.
No level of MDMA is considered safe because the drug influences users otherwise based on their body weight and what other substances are in their system at that time.
At the Parklife festival last month, the loop samples tested from the pills that had been seized or thrown away in amnesty trays.
They discovered that the tablets were stronger than those attacks, attacks, heart palpitations and even death.
Of all ecstasy pills that have been tested by the loop this year so far, only 4 percent did not contain a MDMA – a significant death of 2021 figures when almost half had no traces of the medicine.
Common risk reduction messages were caused by the charity include ‘take a quarter, sip water’ and ‘go slow, stay low’.
Because ecstasy influences the body’s ability to regulate the temperature, experts are mainly concerned about young people who take the medicine at festivals while the temperature continues to climb.
According to Talk with Frank, an anti-drug advisory service that has been established by the Department of Health, the use of the drug in these disorders, increases the risk of dehydration and overheating, which can be fatal.
The drug service, however, warns that drinking too much water, while MDMA can also be dangerous.
In Parklife earlier last month, the loop samples of Ecstasy pills that had been and discovered that the tablets in strength were similar to those which hospital admissions or even killing had activated.

This is because the medicine can activate a hormone in the body that prohibits the production of urine, resulting in liver failure.
The use of ecstasy is linked to heart problems with common side effects, including severe agitation, increased body temperatures, attacks and irregular heart rhythm.
Official figures estimate that every year around 170 deaths are connected to MDMA in the UK. Pre-Pandemic levels were 78.
In the meantime, an estimated 2.4 million people, including 347,000 teenagers, take the medicine.
It has been classified an illegal substance since 1977 when the government declared it a class A medicity, for which the maximum fine for property is seven years in prison and an unlimited fine.
The warning comes after the tragic death of a 17-year-old boy who died after taking ecstasy for the first time during a night out with friends last year.
Kristian Jolly, from Norfolk, took at least one pill called ‘Andrew Tate’ after the self-proclaimed misogynistic and social media influencer.
Not long after swallowing the pill, Kristian began exaggerated sweating and he became seriously unwell.
The next morning an ambulance was mentioned, but the condition of Kristian had seriously deteriorated at night and he was declared dead on the spot.
The warning comes when the NHS has launched the first ketamine Teen-addiction clinic of the UK, amid an increase in young people who are addicted to the mind-changing medicine.
