The Independent reports on two tragic fatalities in London linked to the consumption of nitazenes, a powerful synthetic opioid. These pills, mistaken for oxycodone, are raising alarms due to their potential strength, which can exceed that of heroin by hundreds of times. The case follows a weekend of clubbing where the victims, aged 20 and 28, allegedly consumed this dangerous substance. The Ministry of Sound nightclub warned patrons about a batch of blue-green pills marked with an '80', which have been associated with multiple hospitalizations and fatalities, underscoring the urgent need for public awareness and accurate drug information.
Two young adults have died in London after using a new form of synthetic opioid, nitazenes, raising concerns over misinformation regarding drug identity.
