It pisses me off when governments just disregaurd harm reduction. In Australia the gov has just launched a new anti drug campeign focusing on xtc , it costed them 12 million bucks and basically all they rant on about is that these people selling xtc are putting all kinds of things into these pills and it is damaging ur youth and they are niave to think they are getting the "real" thing i guess there are some thruths in these campeigns e.g. depression and that e can have a bad effect on some people, but of coarse they blow the facts much bigger than they are and it comes to the line between fact and totall bullshit.
In an article in one of the Australian newspapers(cant remeber which one just recallling from memory) was alking about harm reduction and the writer interveiwed the Australian helth minister, he said that websites that condone or educate people about drug use should not be allowed to be on the internet and should not be accepted as a reliable source of info. Thanks to bluelight and pillreports e all have better chance at knowing what we are takeing and i belive that thanks to those sites even the people that are making the drugs are making a better effort not to put nasty shit in pills because they know the pill wont get very far before people start throwing them away.
The government i only tring to educate youth that havent used xtc which is fair enough but then again i ignored all the things id heard from the media and i did little bit of research (like most people do i hope) and found the effects not to be that bad as the media and government make it out to be.
They are saying that people dont know what they are getting in our pills, then what about some of that fucking 12 million bucks going to set up testing booths in clubs and possibly gov funded staff that go on educating people who are out at clubs( e.g. drinking more water or eating fruit like some of the allready set up voluntary associations like rave safe and smile police.
I would really like your support on this one all the articles in the paper latly i feel that i should write a letter the to editor. just give me your thoughts on this topic and ways the government should spend the money to educate and or keep people safe while out partying on xtc.
