HSE Drug Trend Warning Ahead of St. Patrick’s Day
Today on RTÉ Radio 1 Morning Ireland, Nicki Killeen, HSE Emerging Drug Trends Manager, spoke about major changes in the drug market and the extra risks linked to powders and high‑strength drugs as we head into the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/22592054/
Nicki highlighted that:
New and more potent drugs are circulating across Ireland.
Powders being sold as “cocaine” may actually contain multiple substances, including ketamine or synthetic stimulants like 3‑MMC, increasing the risk of overdose or unpredictable effects.
Some powders found recently contained up to five different drugs in a single sample.
Young people are increasingly adding powders to drinks, which can lead to taking far more M**A or stimulants than intended.
Her key message is clear:
“Every bag is different, and the risks right now are high.”
The HSE is urging people to be aware of what’s happening in the market and to understand the dangers of high‑strength pills, powders, and crystals.
If you choose to use:
Start low, go slow
Avoid mixing substances
Know the signs of a drug emergency
Call for help immediately — Medics are your mates
Stay informed, look out for your friends, and keep yourself safe this St. Patrick’s weekend.
