Drug Alert: Winnipeg - Fri. October 30, 2026

PINK pebble sold as DOWN that was associated with complex overdoses was found to contain fentanyl, benzodiazepine and medetomidine.

Substance tested positive for all three on strips at Street Connections on Oct. 26. FTIR and Health Canada Drug Analysis Service testing confirmed

Fentanyl - 8.5%
Desalkylgidazepam - 5.4%
Medetomidine - 3%
Caffeine - 38%

Medetomidine is a sedative/tranquilizer only approved for use in animals. Combining opioids like fentanyl with sedatives like benzodiazepines and medetomidine increases the risk of complex overdose, because naloxone does not work on sedatives. Naloxone should still be given to reverse the opioid component. The presence of caffeine does not reverse the effects of sedatives or opioids.

Here is the last part of our of Myth Busting: Safer Consumption Site Edition!

There are many misconceptions regarding safer consumption sites including that they make neighborhoods less safe, are a waste of money, and they encourage drug use.

However, evidence shows that these are NOT true! In fact, safer consumption sites actually save lives, connect people with care, and make better use of public health resources. They do not encourage people to use substances. They make substances use safer for people who are already using.

This is why we are proud to support the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre of Winnipeg’s Safer Consumption Site. To learn more about the site, visit: https://www.ahwc.ca/programs/safer-consumption-site
