it has always been young people when they go dancing for the day/night. So lots of adults did it when they were young its not a new thing. How many more years are we going to talk about testing before it is just a normal thing set up as part of events were we know pills are taken
lets get some advice from Ali G .........
Testing does not mean that the person will not develop psychotic or other mental illnesses later in life as a result .
Why get in the way of Darwin's theory of evolution? We have already interfered with natural selection in a big way!
dodona777 So regulate it instead of criminalising it.
Yeah they're not very happy, escapism isn't going away.
To be fair.... popping pills at festivals is nothing new... this may just mean ... what are they called? ..... the chemists? Are getting dumber or inhumane (willing to cut more corners)... or society as a whole, is struggling to know when they’ve reached their limits...
Pill testing is a stupid idea wanted by snowflakes seeking attention. Most pill takers WILL NOT BOTHER to get their pills tested. It’s onerous. The quoted statistics are underwhelming, unconvincing; small samples, not conclusive.
Stopped reading after the first 2 sentences. One is a need, the other is a stupid desire to get a cheap thrill. The only thing pill testing will do it make bikies and bad people richer. auspol
Not havining pills available will.
Within reason we have the technology and the determination to find potential terrorists and yet we cannot find the makers, importers and sellers of drugs that kill more than terrorits in Australia to date. Why?
What about moxycillan is that OK though 😳
Here's a suggestion: if you are an adult you take responsibility for your own actions.
Zero will stop it, the media will continue to sell the outrage, social media will continue to virtue signal and notjing will change, even if you test the pills, nothing will fix it. Pissing in the wind.
I have an idea. It’s called the “drug access card”. You “buy” this card from the gov and you can take any drug you want, no problem, gov looks after you. If you don’t have the card, take a drug and overdose. Medics will not come to your aid, you will die.
My mum convinced me to read Anna’s Story when I was in Year 7... they should make that book mandatory.
What might happen? Normalisation of drug taking will proceed apace until it becomes a social habit on par with alcohol consumption. Whether the long term outcome means more or less harm is incalculable. Likewise the profits; incalculable. But huge man, like really big yeh?
They're easier to swallow if you cut them in half
