Under the current drug-checking Act, the Director-General of Health appointed KnowYourStuffNZ to carry out drug-checking work at festivals and other locations across Aotearoa. Over the past summer, KnowYourStuff found that a lot of the drugs that had been sold as MDMA were actually a dangerous synthetic cathinone called eutylone. Eutylone can result in seizures, paranoia, and other serious effects. During the new year period, KnowYourStuff asked people who used their services whether they still intended to take a drug once they knew it was a synthetic cathinone. Three-quarters of those people said that they would not take that drug. These are people who had already purchased the drugs and had intended to consume them, but once they were informed about what they actually had, they chose to say no.
