Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by tab1 on Mar 21, 2018 16:22:12 GMT 1, I would have thought it would be impossible for clubs in the UK to have in house drug testing, because that would be them acknowledging illegal drug taking on the premises. They'd get shut down.

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by Poppy Sunshine on Mar 22, 2018 10:28:58 GMT 1, Iโm not sure I understand why this type of thing needs to be a charity.
If this service is for clubbers and festival goers who have more than likely forked out a fortune for tickets, travel, camping etc etc on top of buying the drugs in question then can they seriously not afford to pay another couple of quid for a potentially life saving test rather than it having to be a free thing?
Does this make me sound old and grumpy?
Probably because Iโve had a different charity plastic bag through the door every single day for the last two weeks and this morning Iโve had a leaflet about an anti plastics charity.
I think itโs sent me over the edge. ๐ณ

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by Carl Cashman on Mar 22, 2018 11:04:57 GMT 1, Oh Dive Jedi ,you give with one hand and take away with another. Yes! Test everything as often as possible. Heroin is cut with fentanyl sometimes which is super deadly which might partly explain rises in drug related deaths year on year. Even better, decriminalise drugs. Even better, legalise, regulate and tax them all in my opinion! Regulation doesn't necessarily mean a free for all, regulation could mean incredibly strict control. But this risks taking the thread off on a different path....a bit like taking a pop at someone for an issue started outside of this thread  I'm like the ocean.... I will donate this. Just let me know where to send it. Rather appropriate, I think. In fact it's a "F#cked Proof" , so rather on topic. I don't want it anymore. It reminds me of someone I don't really like......

Lol
Spot on
ยฃ20-ยฃ200 for festival , club tickets
Average spent at weekend festivals ยฃ500
If anything the fee should be met by the recreational users.
Itโs like paying someone with money to have a good time.

Thanks for your support - quite often a negative drug experience is because of what it's been cut with not the active ingredient. As said before around 1 in 5 people choose not to take the substance they have had tested.

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by moron on Apr 26, 2018 15:30:27 GMT 1, Dude what is your problem ? Any time you interact with me on any social media platform you get pissy... you even have the cheak to post on my pages that my work iss**t and get upset when I returned the favour. I didnt call you a moron, just that your interpretation of what I typed was moronic... you know the whole trump crap thats completely irrelevant to what I said ? Best bet is to ignore and/or block eachothers posts/accounts moving forward. I'm not blocking anyone. It's an open forum. Aahh, still upset about that, Carl?  I'm sorry. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. As you well know I didn't say "your work is sh!t". I think most of your work is great. In fact I own a couple of your prints, as you might recall. Spraying the C-word on a shiny piece of paper is sh!t, in my humble opinion. You can do a lot better. But let's get back on topic! I actually agree with you on the testing. Common practice in NL for many years. So rather surprised this is actually an issue in UK. I'm just wondering where you draw the line. You say : Alcohol is legal and tested, yet it kills many people every day. My question: So how will testing pills prevent people from being killed? Maybe 1 pill is safe - sure the average idiot will take 3 then. It's safe after all. Pills are produced by criminals. They might add strychnine to pills to add to the experience. Will pills be tested for that? Or only on MDMA levels? So people take pills. Let's test them. People take heroin too. Why not test that? I don't see the difference. Should heroin users not be safe? Or crack heads ? So when we are on the subject of checking everyone's drug of choice as you put it, why not legalise it all and make sure it's all safe. Take it out of the criminal circuit, so production is safe. Then you can tax it as well, to fund prevention and education. Crack at Tesco. The safe alternative. Not so moronic, I think.....

Drug Testing charity - fundraising thoughts please, by moron on Apr 26, 2018 15:34:19 GMT 1, If drugs were legalised and people decided to take them and get addicted and commit crime in order to get money to buy legalised drugs the problems won't go away. Plus there will always be a black market for drugs sold at lower prices or stronger doses etc and also sold to children by pushers and dealers.
The drug testing charity is a good thing and worth supporting, as long as people don't get a false sense of security. Peer pressure is one reason why people start taking drugs and I haven't met a druggie toner coke head etc I would ever trust or take seriously.

I guess at least they would be clean and you know what was in them. Tax drugs and treat addiction issues instead of the money going to gangs... the statistics of how many people die for cocaine to reach the UK are shocking. |

Unless you are the rolling stones who have had special treatment in a clinic in switzerland where their internal organs have been changed and monley blood transfusions up their assets
