SamDonovanABC Because they take illegal drugs. No brainer really!

SamDonovanABC Because they are stupid, and they and their parents want other to be responsible for their own stupidity. Natural selection in progress.

SamDonovanABC Being stupid and taking illegal substances may have something to do with it.

SamDonovanABC Because they feel they are 'entitled' to use illegal dangerous drugs, and that 'protecting' them from themselves is someone else's responsibility; the rules, the law, doesn't apply the them, they have 'rights' not responsibilities. PS last girl died from strength ecstasy itself.

SamDonovanABC What a stupid question... It's because they choose to consume shit they know nothing about or know what's in it....like it's their entitled right to take this crap and think there'll be no consequences.

SamDonovanABC I've thought long and hard about this-idiot question.

SamDonovanABC Risk you take when you do drugs.Lets not do shit about that,let's test drugs and signal its all OK.Sounds crazy to me.WTactualF

SamDonovanABC many young people try these pills thanks to their 'friends' ...

SamDonovanABC Cause they r idiots

SamDonovanABC I like the argument some people make about these people mixing with ‘the wrong crowd’. These people are what form the ‘wrong crowd’. The voting age has been brought up....if their brains don’t develop until they’re 25, perhaps they shouldn’t drive, or vote?

SamDonovanABC Wonder what the stats really are? Of 20 to 30K attendees to a festival, how many die in total of all festivals held I’d bet more people die slipping on a cornflake

SamDonovanABC This can be easily fixed execute the dealers or make really tough punishment

SamDonovanABC Natural selection....

SamDonovanABC Funnily enough because they're taking illegal drugs

SamDonovanABC Because the drugs they buy are bad, would you trust a backyard lab? Pill testing is one solution

SamDonovanABC Yes I'm interested in why they take the risk ? I think we have to ask them and be proactive in dealing with the issue.

SamDonovanABC Because governments pick winners like alcohol and tabacco by criminalising competing markets, forcing them underground. There is no rationale to pick one over the other let alone prohibition. Have we not learnt anything from the past? Legalise drugs now and start saving lives!

SamDonovanABC Because Snotty & Mudguts who are the designated members of their outlaw bikie gang who cook the shit never actually graduated with a degree in chemistry. But gee that’s a pretty heart symbol on the pill so it can’t be full of any bad stuff that might kill me.

SamDonovanABC The music must be total shit (probably rap) for them to need drugs to like it.

SamDonovanABC Because buying an unknown substance from complete stranger and ingesting it is maybe not the best way to avoid dying at a music festival.

SamDonovanABC for the same reason they are at a higher risk of dying on the roads?

SamDonovanABC Two reasons. Australians are taught to never take responsibility for their own actions. And Australians are taught that the above statement is victim blaming.

SamDonovanABC Brains not fully developed till ~ 25 years. Most risky behaviour during this time; think risk taking on roads & resultant mortality/morbidity stats. Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development reinforces this thinking. It’s all around us. Reasons why voting age should NOT be lowered.

SamDonovanABC She overdosed so pill testing would not have helped in her stupidity.

SamDonovanABC CSIRO need to make the good gear for us.

SamDonovanABC The fact that they are talking illegal drug of unknown quality may have something to do with it. Time take responsibility for your own actions.

SamDonovanABC Wow not much sympathy in here from people who would be heart-broken if it was a loved one of theirs. How was your morning coffee and cigarette or opioid pain killers? How’s that booze tonight or sleeping pills? Hypocrites....

SamDonovanABC It is very sad news but if they are adults they should take responsibility for their actions. Why do we expect the government to hold people's hands if they choose to engage in risky behaviour.

SamDonovanABC Why are so many young people at risk of becoming music students at music festivals?

SamDonovanABC because they’re not using their common sense and not staying away from bad people.

SamDonovanABC Is that a trick question? I’d have thought their decision to ingest illegal drugs would be the obvious answer

SamDonovanABC Illegal backyard pills maybe .... G'Day

SamDonovanABC 'so many' Bugger all is the reality. Statistically insignificant. More people die falling out of bed.

SamDonovanABC Q: Why? A: Because they take pills.

SamDonovanABC People are dying because of politicians prohibition policies. Legal, regulated product would've prevented this, in absence of that, PillTesting saves lives & reduces harms.

SamDonovanABC Can somebody please answer a question for me because i am either dumb or ignorant. So the drug dealer who sold this girl this drug only sold 1 pill for the whole day or a couple to her only otherwise if it was a batch, we would have had more deaths.

SamDonovanABC Because they are taking dangerous drugs.

SamDonovanABC Darwinism

SamDonovanABC Because there no adults to tell them that playing stupid games wins stupid prizes

SamDonovanABC Because they stupidly decide to take illegal drugs, despite having the full knowledge that one pill can kill. It's tragic. Pill testing won't save them - it will just create more addicts.

SamDonovanABC Why are so many young people taking drugs? And binge drinking?

SamDonovanABC Herpes?

SamDonovanABC They think taking drugs is cool, i can grantee it's not you will pay the price

SamDonovanABC Why not? There's no future to look forward to!

SamDonovanABC Because they take illegal drugs which the festivals have zero interest in even mildly discouraging.

SamDonovanABC STUPID LAST FOREVER. NO LOSS.

SamDonovanABC Same old story young people in each generation think they are invincible.

SamDonovanABC FakeNews They're not music festivals. They're drug festivals, with music.

SamDonovanABC No sympathy for them. So many stories around nowadays of people dying from exactly this and yet they still risk it. Morons.

SamDonovanABC they're exhibitionists and victims of their own thrill of identifying themselves through experience. Youth is a peer influenced definition so trying to seem on top of the pecking order kills them with OD. The drug choice and drug method are questions of bad risk assessment. 420

SamDonovanABC Because they go to music festivals

SamDonovanABC Natural selection. If people take illicit drugs then they deserve any consequences of their actions.

SamDonovanABC It’s the brown acid. Don’t you remember Woodsto1?

SamDonovanABC Because they take stupid drugs?

SamDonovanABC Shitty drugs.. pretty simple. Pill testing is a minimum requirement I think. People are going to take drugs, there is literally nothing you can do to stop it. The best method is to decriminalise, allow testing, and open discussion / ensure no consequences for going to medic aid.

SamDonovanABC Because sadly you can’t put a wise head on young shoulders. That and the Lib government won’t strongly take on the promoters of these events and consider something ‘radical’ like pill testing.

SamDonovanABC Because there's no pill testing.

SamDonovanABC So many answers to that question..

SamDonovanABC because big pharma don't want their drug income to drop when everyone can grow their own medication for free/the drug war is a real war on sick people by govt agency its a health issue not a revenue raising way to oppress+criminalise kids

What is pill testing?What is pill testing exactly - and why is it so controversial? Taxpayer support of drug dealers. Nothing more, nothing less. If the politicians don't listen to the chorus of people crying out for the decriminalisation of cannabis for therapeutic use, how can we even expect them to listen to the argument for pill testing? Adults should take responsibility for their actions. Why do we expect the government to hold people's hands if they choose to engage in risky behaviour.

Why death dreams aren’t your worst nightmareDreaming about your own or a loved one’s death is more common over the new year period than any other time, so it’s likely you or someone you know has had one recently. How about some news? Drop the gossip and New Age Bullshit and get back to being a source of news. I keep dreaming phones won’t work or I can’t scream for help for someone who is dying or very ill. Extremely unsettling

Here's why doctors are backing pill testing at music festivals across AustraliaPill testing is a rare opportunity to speak to drug users about their drug use, doctors say. But the government use law and order as a class war against us. More lefty propoganda No matter what support, there will always be people who choose illegal drugs and take the risks. Don’t waste public $ on pill testing. We have higher priorities.
