The “candy” drug contained high concentrations of MDMA mixed with other substances such as ketamine, cocaine and caffeine, Koh Phangan district chief Paisit Thongcherm said. Thai authorities first alerted the public to the Labubu- and Doraemon-shaped combination pills last year, saying they were particularly concerned that children might try them. Some of the combination drugs, they said, contained MDMA and ketamine mixed with diazepam, making them potentially lethal.
