Summer Festivals 2025: Prevention, Screening, and Safety – AMA Prevention Commits to Fighting Drugs and Chemical Submission
Share
🌟 Summer 2025 promises to be monumental on the music scene
Festivals like Garorock, Tomorrowland, Les Vieilles Charrues, Lollapalooza Paris, Les Eurockéennes, Solidays, and Primavera Sound are sold out with an exceptional lineup: Travis Scott, Fred again.., Burna Boy, SCH, Aya Nakamura, Angèle, Calvin Harris, Djadja & Dinaz, Zola, Rosalía, Central Cee, Soolking.
But behind the spotlight, a worrying reality remains: drug use, chemical submission, and accidents under narcotics are increasing in party environments.
🚨 Festival drugs: fake substances, toxic cutting agents, NPS
At parties, consumption of cannabis (THC), cocaine (COC), MDMA (ecstasy), amphetamines (AMP), and methamphetamines (MET) is common. These drugs are rarely pure today: they are often cut, falsified, or replaced by much more dangerous substances.
❌ Invisible and dangerous cutting agents
- Levamisole: veterinary dewormer, causes necrosis and serious infections.
- Phenacetin: banned painkiller, toxic to kidneys.
- Xylazine: veterinary sedative, causes severe respiratory depression.
- Paracetamol, lidocaine, procaine, caffeine: increase side effects without pharmacological benefit.
These additives cannot be detected by smell or taste and can dangerously worsen the effects of the main drug.
🎭 Substances sold under false names
- Ecstasy: sometimes 2-CB or 25i-NBOMe, with intense hallucinogenic effects.
- Ketamine: replaced by MXE or 2-FDCK, longer-lasting, more toxic dissociatives.
- Speed: often cut with synthetic cathinones (e.g., 3-MMC, 4-MMC, MDPV).
🧬 New psychoactive substances (NPS)
- Cathinones: 3-MMC, 4-MMC, MCAT, MDPV — overstimulation, paranoia, exhaustion.
- Synthetic cannabinoids: UR-144, K2, PTC, Buddha Blue — seizures, delirium, loss of consciousness.
- Recent dissociatives: MXPr, 2-FDCK, deschloroketamine — prolonged effects, confusion, psychological decompensation.

⚠️ Drug-related accidents: a reality often ignored
Driving under the influence doubles the risk of fatal accidents. This risk rises to x29 when combined with alcohol.
Effects incompatible with driving:
- THC: slows reflexes and reaction time
- Cocaine: overexcitement, risky behavior
- Benzodiazepines: drowsiness, reduced alertness
- Mixes: unpredictable effects, potential overdose
Risk reduction tips:
- Designate a sober driver in advance
- Use a saliva test before driving
- Plan a way back: shuttle, accommodation, transport
🧪 React immediately if in doubt
In case of discomfort or suspicion of chemical submission, an immediate urine test can make a difference.
Recommended tests:
- Drugdiag® T 13 drugs – ultra-complete screening
- Drugdiag® CUP2S 11 drugs – ready-to-use cup

💡 Practical information on screening
During a roadside check, the gendarmerie saliva test is commonly used to detect the presence of drugs. Many wonder how long the gendarmerie saliva drug test remains positive: it depends on metabolisms, but THC remains detectable for several hours to a few days. The gendarmerie thc saliva test (or gendarmerie saliva thc test) specifically targets recent cannabis use.
To do prevention at home or in the workplace, taking a thc saliva test (also called saliva thc test) is an excellent step. If you are looking to equip yourself, you may wonder where to buy a saliva test equivalent to the gendarmerie? Although it can sometimes be difficult to find a thc saliva test in pharmacies, you can order our professional devices directly online.
🚨 Road Safety Reminder
Driving under the influence of drugs is severely punished by law. Anticipate with a reliable self-test before getting behind the wheel.
Also discover: for bars, festivals, associations, communities, and event organizers, B-SAFE, the drug detector pen for drinks, allows adding an electronic prevention solution to anti-chemical submission measures.
Scientific validation of B-SAFE
The B-SAFE project, a drug detector pen for drinks, is validated and supported by Professor Jean-Claude Alvarez, toxicologist, professor of pharmacology-toxicology, and director of the toxicology laboratory at CHU Raymond-Poincaré/AP-HP in Garches.
A leading authority in toxicology, he is associated with the reference work conducted in France on psychoactive substances and chemical submission, in a national ecosystem also supported in public debate by voices such as Sandrine Josso and Caroline Darian.
This validation strengthens B-SAFE's technological positioning and the accuracy of its detection for drug prevention in drinks. Discover the B-SAFE product sheet.
