Renowned Manchester club brand The Warehouse Project has issued a warning to clubbers over extra strong ‘Blue Punisher’ pills in circulation around the area.
The bright blue pills, stamped with Marvel’s The Punisher emblem, were seized at WHP and tested by the MANDRAKE drug analysis lab at Manchester Metropolitan University.
The Warehouse Project took to Twitter to warn partygoers about the pills that are said to have “strong effects” whilst sharing a map of The Depot, promising attendees a “non-judgemental and safe space” in its welfare and medical areas.
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Reports of Blue Punisher Pills having strong effects. Please be safe & aware. If unwell please speak to a member of staff.

Last year, Vice reported that the strongest ecstasy pill ever found in the UK had been discovered in Manchester. The pills found were virtually identical to those believed to be in circulation again in the area.
MANDRAKE tested the pills after they were found at a club in the city. They reported their dosage as the strongest in the country, containing up to 477mg of MDMA.
How did they stack up against most pills found in the UK? The average dose for an MDMA pill is around 80-120mg.
With the above information in mind, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with welfare and medical areas at The Depot if you’re planning on heading to the venue anytime soon.
