Drug Purity Report Week 34, 2026

Drug Purity Report #34/26. In this week’s report on drug market purity we are shining spotlight on fake hash, extreme MDMA pills and more PMMA.

Data fatigue is real, so here we come to give you the gist of what’s going on out there. For more details, photos, and other information on thousands of drugs, head out straight to the DrugsPRO app.

1. A fake hash sample found in Zurich contained 2 different synthetic cannabinoids: MDMB-4en-PINACA and ADB-4en-PINACA. We remind all cannabis users that with the current availability of CBD, the financial incentive is much higher to sell synthetic cannabinoids than real classic THC products.
2. Pills closing in on almost 300 mg of MDMA detected in Spain’s Tarragona and in Basel, Switzerland. The first is a grey Grim Reaper with “350mg” stamped (280 mg MDMA detected), and the other an orange Master Roshi (260 mg MDMA)
3. Although PMMA was not detected this particular week, due to more samples detected in the recent days we are repeating the warning. PMMA has been found in multiple samples this year. It has hardly any expected effects of MDMA, while having plenty of the undesired effects. Using a test kit is essential to reduce the risk of PMMA poisoning.
