Kaubo Testing will no doubt reduce death at such events but how many new drug takers will it encourage?

Kaubo To take the drug from people & give it back, is to accept the drug use & if we are to do that, then we would be better to allow large pharmaceutical companies to manufacture the drugs, to ensure quality, consistency and that ingredients are not compromised for harmful substitutes

Kaubo I hypothesise there may even be more evidence that as a way to remain healthy one does not take pills! Though I'm not a member of the peak body of physicians and don't have my doctorate......just sayin'!

Kaubo Why do doctors think that promoting illegal drug use is a good idea? Don’t give in Gladys!

Kaubo How about a trial of people not taking illegal drugs at festivals instead. Thats a sure way to save lives.

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?
