AngusGthompson How does pill testing help? 3 boys died last night cause they were doing 130kmh and hit a tree while trying to outrun cops in a stolen car. The fact the car had a warrant of fitness is irrelevant. Pure drugs will kill especially when taken by people not old enough to buy beer
AngusGthompson Here’s an idea......if you don’t want to die of a drug overdose, DON’T DO DRUGS!!
AngusGthompson Cancel event unless safety can be assured by organisers.

Renewed push for pill testing after teen girl dies at music festival | Sky News AustraliaThe woman who died from a suspected drug overdose at a Sydney music festival at the weekend has been identified as 19-year-old Alex Ross-King. \n\nMs Ross-King was at FOMO music festival in Parramatta, Sydney’s west on Saturday, when she was rushed to Westmead Hospital and later died. \n\nThe teenager’s family is now calling on the New South Wales government to consider pill testing at music festivals. \n\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian has not supported the move however, saying ‘I worry pill testing could have the opposite effect’ and ‘we need to keep sending out the strongest message that taking these illicit drugs kills’. \n\n\n\n\n\n I've got a bizarre, simpler, more cost effective solution. Just make the drugs legal so the entire supply chain will be run by corporate citizens vested in the success of society, instead of criminal gangs vested in the destruction of society. Forget the testing and start arresting some of these drug user and pushes. Can someone please explain what pill testing is and how it would work at a music festival?

Why are so many young people at risk of dying at music festivals?Yet another young person dead after taking drugs at a music festival, bringing the summer overdose toll at these events to five. Matt Noffs, CEO of the Ted Noffs Foundation, speaks to The World Today about some of the risk factors behind this terrible toll. SamDonovanABC because big pharma don't want their drug income to drop when everyone can grow their own medication for free/the drug war is a real war on sick people by govt agency its a health issue not a revenue raising way to oppress+criminalise kids SamDonovanABC Because sadly you can’t put a wise head on young shoulders. That and the Lib government won’t strongly take on the promoters of these events and consider something ‘radical’ like pill testing. SamDonovanABC Because there's no pill testing.

Another teen dies at music festivalAnother person has died at an Australian music festival. 37% of those that were searched had drugs. Big number in terms of percentage. However they only searched 1.2% of total attendees. If the powers that be believe police searches are the way to stop drugs at festivals, they need to up their numbers by a multiple of least 80! FOMO Oh well... Should be an automatic 5k fine if your found with drugs on ya - watch the epidemic disappear

Woman dies after Sydney music festivalPolice say the Central Coast teenager was taken from the Parramatta Park event to Westmead Hospital about 6pm on Saturday, and died later on Saturday night. Excessive costs of alcahol & tobacco in Australia have seen the rise of illicit drugs & black-market tobacco industry's. Designer drugs are cheaper & relatively easy to obtain. Prohibition didn't work in the US in the 30's. It isn't working here today. More young Australians.... will die if tax reform does take place. Reform or Referendum. The people of this country have a right to choose. The Governments don't have the right to oppress our right to choice. A ground swell of anger towards high taxes is building. Eureka Stockade ring a bell? Sad end of life.

This is what happens when there is a blanket ‘just say no’ policy on drugs. Pill testing = chance to educate = harm reduction = less people od’ing or dying. imho
