AUDIO: Concern over soaring MDMA use among high school students

As the NSW coronial inquest into six drug-related deaths holds its final day of hearings, there's growing evidence that MDMA use has spread well beyond music festivals.

Use of the drug among older high school students has doubled in the last five years, and experts want a stronger harm reduction focus in the education system. They argue the current messaging focuses too much on alcohol, with not enough attention to party drugs.

Mixed Martial Arts is a noble endeavour for all high school students to pursue.

Apart from the small number of people who have reported improvement or resolution of emotional or personality problems after the use of MDMA, the long-term effects are virtually all adverse ones. They arise from a neurotoxic action of the methylenedioxy derivatives.

What's going on in the lives of these students to make them want to escape life by using drugs? Address this, and usage of drugs is likely to decline. More rules in this already nanny state will likely increase usage. Target the issue first.

'Concerning': Sydney businessman allegedly paid nanny $2.33 an hourSydney-based mortgage broker Tony Lam is facing the federal court after he paid a nanny just $12,574 over a year to cook, clean and care for his children for up to 17 hours day. Wow... Scammed. For that rate she can stay at my place on the weekend and I will pay her x1.5 on the Sat and x2 on the Sun. He should be made to do menial tasks via community service. A bit of public humiliation for this case would work best.
