You and every one else know the dangers of taking so many different drugs....bad luck.

Well at least he died doing what he loved......Drugs.

No amount of Laws will stop people taking too much illegal drugs

Ok well I'm in favour of pill testing but IF this guy knowingly mixed GHB, MDMA and cocaine then it's kind of his fault for mixing those together.

His money, his life, his choice. Nothing you can do to change that.

Yes but.... if the ‘cocktail of drugs’ had been tested ?

DavidLeyonhjelm Tragic for the family and friends. What a nong, a cocktail like that is like playing russian roulette and one bullet missing.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

DavidLeyonhjelm Let that be a lesson for other people stupid enough to take drugs

DavidLeyonhjelm There's a very simple way for people who are TWENTY-FOUR years old to avoid death from consuming a drug cocktail.

DavidLeyonhjelm no one's fault but his OWN

Well, pill testing won't save this bloke or anyone for that matter. I have a simple solution for you: don't take noxious substances at festivals! Dead and simple! auspol pilltesting

Natural selection at play...

Not sure we could have pill tested that situation away. These wealthy priviledged suburban kids are going to have to ease off illegal drugs.

Yet how many thousand does the flu kill each year?.......🤔🤦‍♂️

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Bingo

News? Person makes really stupid choice of taking not one, but several illicit substances and dies. Not one word in your report about how stupid this is.

silly kid ...no amount of Legislation or Pill testing is gonna stop ppl being stupid ...wasted

And a dozen other people would have died in the same night in car accidents, overdoses not at a music festival, domestic violence etc etc. people make bad choices daily. The focus should be on people that die from others bad choices.

Although I'm in favor of pill testing, it doesn't seem that it would've helped this guy. Tragic.

Be it on your head, GladysB
