I just read that at the Roskilde Festival, they have people that usually help people to get rid of drugs helping people take drugs. Apparantly, they've realised that they can't keep people from taking it, so they're trying to avoid any deaths on that account.
Is this a good idea, or should they rather advise them to stay away from drugs? What is your opinion? |

| Hmm that's a tough one. I can honestly say i've never used drugs and have no intention of ever using them. I don't think they try very hard at concerts (let alone festivals) to keep the drug use down. Why don't they just do a better security check on people when they check tickets instead of encouraging drug use? |

They have police all over the camp site, at least the did the couple of times I was there. But still people were smoking funny tobacco and sniffing unspecified things. They must be able to smuggle it in.
I don't know what to make of it since I would never touch drugs. According to one of those drug advisors, it was a miracle that no one had died of using Fantasy yet. It can apparantly make you stop breathing if you fall asleep :oS |

oh scary! i hate to think that it's just going to be made easier for people - i don't like standing in a cloud of smoke during a festival...it's even worse if it's from drugs. why should the rest of us have to suffer? |

| Your NEVER going to be able to stop people from taking drugs at concerts and as for searches before you enter, u think that would work? NO WAY! The queues are long enough. Where there is a will there is a way of getting shit in. Leave them to their own devices I say ;) |
