New Video Warning On Dodgy Drugs

A new video's been launched warning of the dangers of dodgy ecstacy.

The drug, PMA, is known as super ecstacy but is more toxic than ecstacy's main ingredient MDMA.

It's been linked to the deaths of two Dublin men last year whose inquests found they had high levels of the substance in their systems.

Dublin City Coroner Dr. Brian Farrell warned that the drug is more unpredictable than ecstacy.

Director of the Ana Liffey Drug Project, Tony Duffin says they needed to get the message out after those deaths.

"We were really concerned for people's safety with regards to people who may be planning to take ecstacy when in fact, they were possibly taking PMA or PMMA. We wanted to get as much information over to them as possible to reduce the risks to themselves, to their health, to their lives."

All the information on the drug is available at www.drugs.ie/pma
