High-Strength “Maybach” Ecstasy Alert

Health and harm-reduction organizations have issued a serious warning about a high-strength ecstasy tablet currently circulating in the region. The purple “Maybach” pill, recently purchased in Zagreb and laboratory-tested on January 16, 2026, was found to contain 208 mg of MDMA—well above the average concentration.

The analysis was shared by Slovenia-based DrogArt with Croatia’s HZJZ, alongside Porat, prompting an urgent public alert. According to DrogArt, this level of MDMA significantly increases the risk of negative effects and medical complications.



Why this matter

Doses around 200 mg or more can represent at least a double dose for many people, sharply raising the likelihood of harm. Reported risks include nausea, vomiting, headaches, anxiety and panic attacks, high blood pressure, excessive sweating, seizures, movement disorders, dangerously high body temperature, loss of consciousness, cerebral edema, and even stroke or heart attack.

Important note: MDMA content listed for any pill is for informational purposes only. Tablets with the same logo and color can vary widely in strength.


Harm-reduction guidelines

If people choose to use substances, harm-reduction experts strongly recommend the following precautions:

  • Dose carefully and adjust to body weight and experience. Literature suggests 1–1.5 mg MDMA per kg of body weight (e.g., 60–90 mg for a 60 kg person).

  • Be extra cautious if it’s your first time or if purity is unknown. Effects vary greatly between individuals.

  • Start low (e.g., a quarter of a pill) and wait at least 2 hours before considering more.

  • Take breaks while dancing.

  • Hydrate smartly: up to 0.5 L of isotonic drink per hour if dancing; less if resting.

  • Avoid mixing substances (including medications).

  • Don’t take different pills in one night.

  • Eat well and sleep enough during the week.

  • Space out use—ideally 2–3 months between MDMA sessions.

  • Seek help immediately if any concerning symptoms appear.

This information aims to reduce harm and keep nightlife communities safer through knowledge and awareness.

Stay safe, make your rave safe!
