Festival drugs overdoses: Second person rushed to hospital from Victorian music festivalThe suspected drug overdose at a music festival in Victoria follows the tragic death of Joshua Tam, 22, at Lost Paradise Festival in New South Wales over the weekend. Is it rockin' Bill Shorten by any chance? Why not the same uproar over no pill testing in Victoria? Why not push the message that pills can kill and you dont need drugs to enjoy yourself? All I can say been there done that. Drugs aren't the answer millenials

Man dies after taking 'unknown substance' at NSW music festivalA 22-year-old man has died and two others are in hospital after taking an 'unknown substance' at the Lost Paradise Music Festival on the NSW Central Coast. Cue more 'how tragic but there's nothing we can do, because pill testing will only encourage drug taking and that's BAD!!!' Everyday I see snowflakes drinking only bottled water, eating organic food, wiping down gym equipment etc. So conscious of what happens to their bodies, then go to a party and ingest something that could be made of anything, stored anywhere and capable of Christ knows what! 😳 Drugs kill, so don't take drugs. If you take drugs, the drugs kill you.

Man, 22, dies after taking 'unknown substance' at Lost Paradise music festivalPolice said another man and a woman got sick after they took the substance and remained in hospital. Some people choose illegal drugs and they know these risks. Are we ready to consider pill testing at music festivals yet? Just stop this idiocy and bring in pill testing. Prohibition taught us that people will always drink and the same goes for other drugs. This ‘just say no’ approach is the real killer.
