I'd love to see them do pill testing, where the pills are taken, swapped over, and replaced with a placebo sugar pill.
Guarantee most wouldn't know the difference.
1. No, youd have a shit night if you took it before you went in. They only last an hour, 2 hrs max.
Ohhhhhhhh I get it now... so you have a shit night if you don't take drugs at a music festival.
I've been to shitloads of metal gigs in the past, and drunk booze at probably 1 in 150 concerts I'd say.
Once again I refer to this being a culture thing associated with primarily dance and rave festivals.
and NEWSFLASH - you don't need drugs to have a good time.
If it becomes legal then it becomes legally manufactured. None of the current poisonous shit goes into it. MDMA is not the cause of death in an overwhelming majority if these cases
Most MDMA related deaths are not due to the content of the tablets.
Many are as a result of heart atack brought on by dehydration > heat stroke > heart attack or stroke. Hence why the impact is far later than when taken.
Some as a reaction with alcohol/prescrip medication being taken.
Remember the old Red Bull and pingers death? That was due to a heart attack.
Then theres Anna Woods who from memory drowned consuming TOO MUCH water after popping pills.
Hence most of the time it's safe pills that still kill.
A good mate of mine is St Johns ambo of just under 20 years, and has been to many many concert events. Dehydration is a major issue.
Seriously, deaths from pills are significantly less than deaths caused by booze, cigarettes, prescription medications which are misused and probably other government sanctioned rubbish like carcinogenic processed foods.
Quality control drastically reduces the chance of death from any substance. Why would pills be any different?
You know why that is don't you? Wait for it... wait for it... NEWSFLASH...
BECAUSE IT"S ILLEGAL HENCE LESS PEOPLE PARTAKE IN IT!!!
Deaths from having sex on the blades of a helicopter, or trying to jump out of a commercial air liner would rank even lower than death from pills.. but who does that!
Lets draw a more even comparison here... How many people a year die from krokodil in Australia?
I can tell you the number is 0. WOW hang on ... that means it's safe right?? Must do because nobodies died from it..
No ... it's 0 because it's impossible to get.
But if everyone legally had access to it, many more would die a year. Same applies to MDMA.
