whiteboy Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Only seen Emery and Aly & Fila that I recall before so should be an interesting night with plenty of older stuff. A lot of people I know have sold their Saturday tickets to do the Friday instead, which is Eddie Halliwell instead of Gareth Emery and a full Hard House room with Lisa Lashes, etc.... Wonder if I'll make it to the afterparty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe we're still having this debate in 2016. I think it's safe to say that nightclub and drug culture is thoroughly embedded in our countries identity. Banning 18 year olds from Fabric and getting folk to take their shoes off is going to do dick all. That's what your gooch is for! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think weed and pills would do any real harm to society if properly controlled like alcohol. Be less harmful than that anyway! Surely they could be taxed so win win isn't it?

That said, my clubbing and pill popping days feel like they were in another life I wouldn't go down the route of legalising Class A's - but I'd consider decriminalising possession for small amounts. And having a much more hands off approach at clubs and festivals - having free testing kits about so that people can see whether they're going to inadvertently poison themselves because some backstreet chemist has been cutting corners. The nearest we've got to this at the moment www.pillreports.net It's inconceivable to me that weed is still illegal - I suppose the counter argument to that is that encourages smoking tobacco and the strains are a lot stronger than they used to be.

Looking from the outside in and I don't know a lot about these things but are you really going to test a drug before you take it How would a test identify a pure e or lsd from shite ones? Surely that would need the perfect formula in the first place and does anyone know that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last point, totally. If you actually weigh up the pros and cons its a no brainer, as they say! You don't even need baccy, really and they can control the strains! I'd think about legalising pills but not Coke it's far too moreish They have a similar system in Holland don't they? Moderation, as in all things, is key.

DirtySanchez Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 No I don't but they are legal and are produced in a controlled environment, rules to adhere to etc The point I was making was the reference to people having drug testing kits to check the quality If you've got nothing to compare it to how do you know it's decent?

Of I'm correct it's usually a small testing kit you pop a bit of yer pill/powder in the tester and if it turns a certain colour all is good, a different colour is brasso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that would need the perfect formula in the first place and does anyone know that? The kits will tell you whether or not what you've got in your pocket actually contains the chemical you hope it does. And roughly what strength it is. You just chip a tiny bit off and then mix it with some fluid - it turns a different colour depending on what's actually in it and goes darker depending on the strength. So if you've paid for MDMA and then it comes up positive for ketamine (or something bizarre you've never heard of) - then at least you can make a more educated decision on whether you're going to neck.

I reckon a decent majority would just go fuck it, I've got it now, might as well just have it Getting dealers to test before you sell them, that's the future..

Moderators Zico Posted November 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2016 And one of the reasons I hardly ever smoke weed anymore is because it's just far too strong these days, a bag is likely to send me nuts as I can't leave it alone and end up on it every night Would love to be able to just walk into a shop and buy a couple of medium strength spliffs to go with a few beers at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and you're right! I was just getting at how you wouldn't have that complication if they were legal. Which is obvious, I suppose?

gonzo Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I can count on one hand the amount of times I've bought pills in a club. Always taken my own in. Maybe a pill testing booth outside the club could be an idea, or make pill testing kits readily available elsewhere. Not sure I'd be diving off mid set to slam half a pill in a testing booth. Especially when they cost £10 each Like I've said on this subject before and that Mixmag reports says above, you will never , ever stop people taking drugs in nightclubs, concerts or festivals. Last time I went to WHP it was like getting out of Alcatraz. Row after row of police, 3 different search points and lines of sniffer dogs at each one sniffing every single person. I still got 5 E's in there, and judging by the crowd so did they. That's about 10,000 E's that will have got through the doors that night.
