UK - How drugs work: Ecstacy

It was slightly biased, it didn't mention some of the facts about the deaths such as the insane amount of water she drank just said too much water. I think it was like 4 liters in an hour or something stupid.

This is what I thought about the Leah Betts story. I remember it being said 9 pints, which is about 4 litres… actually, Wiki reckons 7 litres (15 pints) of water in less than 90 minutes. Yikes.

My understanding of it is that everyone at that party was making her drink water because the current understanding of the time was that MDMA made you dehydrated and die. Pretty fucked up stuff, someone please correct me if I am wrong, because I hope I am.

You'd think people would realise by the time they're 16, regardless of education, that too much of anything is bad, even water. Common sense isn't so common, I guess.

SHe was 18 )It was her birthday party). She drank too much water because the propaganda in the newspapers at the time made out that you had to drink lots of water when having MDMA.

Death by misinformation.
 
Y'know, I just sat and watched through this and I've gotta say I was deeply moved by the couple, the husband of which had terminal cancer. The video of their last session just choked me up something fierce.
