As the Street Parade in Zurich approaches, the Drug Information Center (DIZ) is warning attendees about the dangers of consuming counterfeit and highly potent drugs.

Many pills, disguised as candy and labeled with names like "Goomba" and "Snapchat," contain dangerous levels of MDMA and other psychoactive substances.

The DIZ emphasizes the importance of drug testing, offering free testing services at their mobile lab and consultation stands during the event.

With temperatures expected to soar, the risk of heat-related complications increases, especially when combined with drugs like ecstasy and alcohol.

Experts advise festival-goers to stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and take breaks in the shade to prevent overheating.

The DIZ urges everyone to prioritize safety and avoid purchasing drugs on-site, as the health risks are significant.
