“Molly has not been specifically detected but it is believed that drug users are mixing ecstasy with other illicit substances aimed at increasing or reducing the psychoactive substance effects,” he told Bernama.
Khalil said the second drug known as Mcdonald, also detected in pill or powder forms, is a mixture of four types of drugs namely methaphetamine, amphetamine, cocaine and morphine.
“The drug was first discovered by police through Ops Club Rats in Penang. Previously this drug was not available, so we need to study whether the drug was smuggled into the country before being distributed to other countries,” he said.
Meanwhile, Magic Mushroom has been identified by police as a new psychoactive substance (NPS) that would provide a high degree of hallucination to users.
“It is mainly used in nightclubs and have been detected in the form of dried leaves,” he said.
Asked if all these drugs have been classified as scheduled substance, Khalil said the matter is their top priority.
“The police will have to register them in the schedule immediately. We must act as fast as they move,” he said.
