Drug expert Professor David Nutt and the Daily Telegraph called for ecstasy testing to be introduced in the UK after two more young clubbers died after taking pills at raves at London’s Alexander Palace (on consecutive nights.
Telegraph columnist Andrew M Brown pointed out that many middle-aged adults took ecstasy in their youth, confessing ‘we’ve lived through it, we’ve had children, many of us, and now we want those children to be safe from needless harm’.
“I know it would be best if young people took no illegal drugs, but we should surely deal with the world as it is, not as we would like it to be,” he suggested. “That way, we might avoid at least some of the tragedies.” (Telegraph; http://tgr.ph/vMCOcU )
