whatever these two people took, it’s unlikely to be MDMA, IMO
ISTR another report of some blue pills that gave people some unpleasant effects posted on this site recently

Ecstasy warning as boys collapse
Police have warned people not to take tablets from a possible rogue batch of ecstasy after two teenagers were rushed to hospital from a Swansea nightclub
Officers are warning anyone who bought similar large blue tablets to the teenagers to seek medical treatment.
The boys, aged 15 to 16, are believed to have bought the tablets in the Port Talbot area.
They were taken to Morriston Hospital by ambulance from the Escape nightclub early on Sunday morning.
One of the boys had been put on a ventilator but on Monday police said both were in a stable condition.
Offices are urging anyone who has bought similar tablets to the pair to get rid of them immediately and seek medical help.
Illicit drugs
Det Ch Insp Peter Azzopardi said the incident involving two youth could have resulted in death with “the extreme consequences for families, friends and those involved in the supply of such substances”.
Mr Azzopardi said there were number of treatment agencies that could offer advice including the West Glamorgan Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the Swansea Drugs Project and Bro Morgannwg Health Trust.
“This is another example of the type of misery that suppliers of illicit drugs can inflict on our communities,” he said.
Aneurin Owen, from the north Wales drug and alcohol agency Cais, told BBC Wales events like this were quite unusual.
“When you think that millions of young people use ecstasy every week, these incidents are fairly rare,” he said.
“The main risk around ecstasy is the unpredictability of the quality and therefore the risks are very high even for those who are using ecstasy recreationally, maybe even for the first time, as we know.
“People should only take it from people that they know, that they have had drugs from in the past, obviously and take very great care.
“The police have issued this warning [and] the word is on the street now.”
Anyone with information about this incident or drug dealing in general is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or Swansea and Neath Police on 01792 456999.
