The Loop London drug checking service tested an orange Trump pill: the acquisition intent of the surrendered pill was MDMA and testing found that the pill contained 4-CMC, caffeine and MDMA. Be cautious when redosing: taking more may increase the risk of unwanted effects.

Our testing has continued across events in 2026. We can see considerable variation in strength, which is consistently seen across other pill presses and reinforces the value of drug testing, as appearance alone cannot indicate strength. #GoSlowStayLow #TakeQuarterSipWater @drugscience.bsky.social
