Drugs Live the Ecstasy Trial

I've been watching this and wondered, if anyone takes to much and loses it, will they show it on 4 OD?

BOOM BOOM!!


Though before even this programme came about I always wondered if they came up with that catchy title for their on demand because they are the channel that likes to be seen to be 'down with the kids' and it would only be they who got it?

I had a preconception in my mind that this program was going to be one of those propaganda shows. I was wrong, quite impressed with it. Fairly balanced, gives an opportunity to give their real experience.

People die of paracetamol and other government "approved" drugs every day but you don't here about them do you? Typical anything that is not taxed is unappropriate in our big brother enforced society. There is no such thing as a "bad pill" only the idiots who don't know how to handle themselves whilst taken one.

It was a good show. I pressed the red button and played along at home.

Really? I've seen several articles like this: http://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-ecstasy-death-linked-to-lethal-contaminant-1.752793

I can handle my strontium and agrimony pills, me.

Any chemical which alters your physiology alters your physiology, otherwise you wouldn't take it. Even if every pill is 100% medical grade MDMA (it isn't) in standardised proportions (it isn't) and subjected to rigorous trials (it isn't) from a guaranteed supply chain (ever tried asking for your money back from dodgy dave?) etc you're still taking a product with unpredictable reactions with unknown medical fallout - and leaving the taxpayer to mop up if you screw yourself up, either an ambulance on the night, or years of mental health treatment and drawing sickness benefit for being unable to work with paranoia, etc. There is one school of thought that overstimulation of the happiness/reward neural pathways effectively decalibrates them, net result is akin to borrowing happiness from your future.

Maybe YOU are perfect, rich and bulletproof, and have a lifelong private medical policy to mitigate all this, however face it, at least some of the other eccyheads you know are total flakes, trying to dodge the reality of life, and spend all their dole with their dealer to leave the taxpayer to pick up after them.

C4 are following up the success of the Drugs Live program with an episode of Deal or No Dealer later today.

Mitsubishi missed a trick there by not sponsoring the program

Are you kidding?

The term OD has been common parlance for decades.

And certainly not just amongst children.

I think this OP might have done the same thing as you.
