Health officials issue warning on ‘strongest ever’ ecstasy pill

Typical ecstasy tablets (pictured) contain around 118mg to 210mg of MDMA, whereas the Blue Punisher contains up to 477mg.

Health officials have issued fresh warnings to ecstasy users after a tablet was seized in Britain containing almost three times the potency of the average tablet.

While experts suspect the tablet may have been a mistake during the manufacturing process — possibly pressing two tablets together — it reveals the high risks posed to unsuspecting buyers of the drugs.
