This title may be a bit confusing so allow me to elaborate. How do you deal with those mis-informed idiots who start spouting propaganda shite about how E drains your spinal fluid, and that everyone ends up like Leah Betts?
I attended one of those 'anti-drugs' talks that they give to collages etc, to see how bad the 'propaganda train' had really got. And my God, was it bad. Surprisingly, the presentation focused around the use of MDMA and cocaine, as its use has become increasingly popular in the county. 5 minutes in, and a picture of Leah Betts strapped up to that life support machine is shown on a projector screen, to the words "This is what MDMA does to you". The audience starts gasping, soaking this shite up like sponges. I should have left around now as it was only about to get worse.....
The rest of the presentation included various Ricaurte based rubbish, and of course, the ol' heroin and rat poison in pills trick (yes that is still going). All the while, I'm standing at the back gradually boiling from the inside. The allowed the audience to ask questions at the end, and I was half tempted to go up to the front myself and just stick up a few photos of me from Leeds festival pinging off my nut and having a great time. However I decided against it
(I value my job!)
What's worse is on the way out, I heard various members of the audience speaking to eachother, and saying stuff like "Wow, MDMA is really bad isn't it" and "People who decide to do E are idiots".
Have you ever had to deal with this shit? I've just stop trying to correct people now as it just ends up in them telling me that "It's true because the Government says it is".
/Rant over
