#harmreduction is our mission, our motto & our mantra! Here are the 10 highest strength pills tested by the Loop this summer, all 200+mg MDMA. These pills, like most tested by the Loop in 2019, contain 2+ x an average adult dose of MDMA. Take care of each other💐#StartLowGoSlow
Important information about MDMA, these high strength tablets are extremely dangerous, and should be avoided. Keep informed, keep safe, keep healthy! Follow @WeAreTheLoopUK for current info. #publichealth#harmreduction#stayingsafe
