One dead, one in a coma, two others stable after Sydney festival overdoses

[Bad Billy]

Easy solution.... get politicians to pop a few dingers. All of a sudden political problems wouldn’t seem so problematic. Most of them are probably on the nose candy anyway.

100%

 

[Flanagun]

100%

Maybe that's the solution for everybody.....mandatory dingers at breakfast time. Lol

 

[CaptainJackson]

Mate, if your eccys are only lasting an hour or two, you should change dealers.

Edit: unless drugs have changed in the 15 years since I last used them

From what I ahem.... hear..... the ones in the 90s lasted hours but the modern ones only last 1 to 2 hrs

 

[The DoggFather]

Have it taxed, that will solve every ones problem, that's the only problem the government has, it can't tax it, they don't give a fuck if you die.

From what I ahem.... hear..... the ones in the 90s lasted hours but the modern ones only last 1 to 2 hrs

Nah they still last 4 or 5 hours.

 

[The DoggFather]

This.

The biggest "junkie" I know is the guy who sits next to me at work. He probably drinks around 6 coffees a day, all double shots. Guy would be a nightmare to watch if he went cold Turkey.

I know you jest, but technically, aren't you spot on?

Wouldn't a junkie be classified as a person heavily addicted to a substance, legal or illicit?

 

[The DoggFather]

Nah they still last 4 or 5 hours.

They still 30 bucks or something?

Are imports still more superior than locals?

 

[The DoggFather]

Yeah, that's the main thing that pisses me off.....the government has no problem spending endless resources on things like RBT (not to mention policing of drunks), but isn't prepared to spend a fraction of that money to keep young people safe. It would rather demonise and talk about unrealistic prohibitive nonsense.

I think i mentioned it before and Hacky expanded on it, you cant win the war on drugs and you cant stop people using, might as well advise saftey issues and procedures for the young ones, especially the kids.

Go for the fucking makers/dealers who put shit into their product.

Majority of the teaching has to come from parents, but obviously outside influences fucks that up.

I'm not pro or anti drugs, majority can handle them and if they don't hurt anyone, go for it.

But from my jobs, a lot more of people shouldn't be drinking more than people that shouldnt touch drugs.

Business.

Instead of selling 1 or 2, they would be selling 5 or 6 because of their shit qualities.

Maybe what's killing isn't drugs, its cheap shonk poison being sold as drugs?

Yeah, @Hacky McAxe said the same. Who knows what shit they put in them.

I guess the see the government allowing poisons being inserted into harmless tobacco, they think they can do the same.

I'm only half joking - yes, that's how i would define it.

In my view, somebody who can't get through the morning without a caffeine hit, has to go for a cigarette every hour, or has to unwind after work with a drink is going to be much more of an "addict" than someone who takes a pinga every now any then.

 

[Bob dog]

Now they are talking 400 dollar on the spot fines, punishing the punters financially is a gutless tactic, fines of any sort should be stamped out in the modern day.

In my view, somebody who can't get through the morning without a caffeine hit, has to go for a cigarette every house, or has to unwind after work with a drink is going to be much more of an "addict" than someone who takes a pinga every now any then.

Especially with the accessibility of some over others.

I have a cousin that loves to "educate" randoms about drugs while has a smoke in his hand. Always say to her "you're the garlic calling the onion smelly" lol

 

[Legend23]

Good pingas very to hard to find these days, but do still exist, roll thru about every 6-12 months and I find myself lost every weekend for about a month. Still as said nothing on the ones from 15 years ago.

All this b.s. about banning festivals is complete nonsense, I'm almost certain those who end up dead are inexperienced and dnt know what they r actually taking, simple ways to be safe, know what you're taking and who you're getting it from.

Yep exactly $20 for a whole night or have to dish out $60 to $100

 

[UmoGus]

Yeah still about 30 bucks each for local junk. Won't bother unless theyre imports.

 

[Howard Moon]

Ohhhhhhhh I get it now... so you have a shit night if you don't take drugs at a music festival.

Listening to heinous music and getting hugged by sweaty losers all night.. yep, shit night

 

[CrittaMagic69]

You fucken druggo's

You should try one of the ones with rat poison. Good chance it will last the rest of your life. :P
