im considering compiling a guide to the safest or supposedly least damaging means of ecstacy use, making it into a small booklet and handing it out in the morning outside of events and clubs that i attend. i just feel like there are so many people who really have no idea about what theyre doing when it comes to drug use.
i would not be writing this from my own knowledge as im certainly not informed enough to do so, but just compiling bits n pieces from a number of sources. nothing legal or very formal, just some of the basic information on what MDMA does, what could be in pills, a come up and come down guide, a short FAQ, and other miscellaneous stuff such as preventing jaw clenching, etc.
this is just a thought ive had a few times recently and figure it cant really be a bad idea can it? see the only way i learnt anything about pills was through bluelight, and i feel many people are missing out on some of the essential information one should know of before getting into frequent ecstacy use.
what do ya think?
 
Thats a really good idea, but what about utilising existing faucilities, like ravesafe for instance.
good luck though! It definately needs to be done, and you would definately be helping out.
 
yer thats a heaps good idea. I think stuff like this is needed, but not those bodgy ones the government have, only telling u what they want u to here.
 
Melancholic, good idea, and your more than welcome to also use our Code Blue handouts if you wish?? But keep in mind one thing....Promoters. If your going to be handing out stuff either in or outside of a party you should generally get the promoters "ok" first. Even if what your doing isn't illegal, its still better for you to get permission first. Unfortunately not all promoters are ok with this, so goodluck!!

Very good idea as there are a lot of people who are under/mis informed about E
my suggestion though is broaden it to include a few more designer drugs. To many people around at the moment think a few scotches and a vile of GHB is OK and too many people seem to be keeling over from a relativly safe substance
just an idea
 
You guys think this should go over to Drug Discussion? You'll prolly get more advice and prolly some information to help you out over there...
I'll move it over, but if necessary we can play ping-pong with the thread...
Make an on-line version too :)
 
ya should include a wot not to mix e with on it.
i think u should also include how to drink water on it. its amazing how many inexperienced users are mis informed about how much they should and shouldnt drink and how fast too.
ya might want to also point out e is a psychadelic drug like acid and mushrooms alot of people dont relise that its a hullicigen too as well as a stimulant. ya no how many people i no who cant handle a pill cos theres something wrong going on in their head to begin with?
 
i think just stick to E info, the hardest part i think would be putting into a format that will grab attention and convey interesting information just by glancing at it, so ppl dont immediately throw it away.
I fell into trap of drinking too much once, didnt realise how much i was actually drinking, longest piss i've ever had :P
 
yeah djc i was always going to email promoters etc to ask for permission because otherwise it may turn out to have a negative effect rather than positive.
i thought about putting in other drugs in it, but i dont have much experience with other stuff, and i think that precautions that are possible with pills are pretty simple, as in most people would be willing to try out some of these safety measures if only they knew of them...
ill get a look at the PDF format thingy now.
 
ahh well basically yes, the enlighten booklet is pretty much everything i would say... but i would like to add stuff like magnesium etc.
how would i go about getting this thing printed so i can hand it out? is it even possible? has it ever been distributed? whats the point in having it if people dont see it? :)
 
er we've only handed out hundreds of em, at events where we have tested pills, and some where we havent.
we're always looking for revisions, or things people think we should add. as for other drugs we were hoping that some enlighten volunteers were going to write some pamphlets, but so far theres been none finished.
if you like you could print them from the .doc files. it's formatted so you can double side print them from a normal printer.

be careful with wording otherwise you might find yourself liable in some way....
eg. the topic heading should be "compiling a short guide to safeR ecstacy use"
 
Melancholic i have a few copies of both the Enlightan and Code Blue handouts here,if you want me to bring you some copies when i'm up next??? :)

I would also include the basic pharmacology of how e affects and works on the brain- probably too boring for most except budding neuropharmacologists
 
*bump*
Take a look at the brisbane club death thread. I still say too many people are people keeling over on GHB
