Users warned over new ‘Ecstasy-style’ drug

HEALTH workers are warning drug users about a new stimulant drug that has hit the streets.

Called 2C-B, the drug is synthetic, or man-made, and is reportedly being sold to buyers as Ecstasy, a traditionally popular party pill.

The warning comes after it emerged that a fairly large consignment of 2C-B, estimated to have a street value in the region of €13,000, was seized by gardaí in Co Kerry.
