One thing people have to remember is that this industry grew up hand in hand with the use of ecstacy. With all these drugs flying about infront of a dj, it's just a matter of time before it goes up his nose

anyone know abou the chemical brothers? they come out with some far out shit.

smoking a j, and then listening to them is perfect!

I would never take drugs when I DJ.

Originally posted by Werewolf I remember this thread... it's sooo old anyways, someone once mentioned that there was picture of Sasha with bunch of people where he looked so f.cked up... does anyone have it?

I believe this is the picture you are after. Photo taken by Mwah from www.inthemix.com.au

At least two of the people in that photo, back left and front middle (Chris Fraser), were the promoters of the event in question (Twisted)

That was an awesome night, highlights include sitting down next to Sasha at the after party (both of us trashed) and asking him if he enjoyed the track playing. His answer "I better, it's my track" (Belfunk); The infamous Sasha walking out into the 11am sunlight to a waiting taxi and in a Wizard of Oz wicked witch voice saying "I'm mellllting". The 8 pills crushed and snorted rumour is pretty close to the truth as I know the people involved. My opinion on the matter is people take drugs everyday, some of them are not legal cause the authorities can't make money out of them. Millions of Americans take prozac everyday, and it has a similar though milder and longer lasting effect to MDMA. However drug companies can't make money out of it cause enough people know how to make it that they wouldn't be able to profit. A recent law thesis of a student at the Australian National Uni ( http://law.anu.edu.au/StaffUploads/...20THE%20LAW.pdf ) gives an interesting overview of the stuff going on in my state (but similar reasoning would apply most other places). It also provides a little more on the history of it.
A nice little statistic for you guys, in 3 years (IIRC 1997 to 2000)there were 81 deaths attributed to ecstacy use in the UK, and the majority of those were also with other drugs in the system.

http://bmj.com/cgi/reprint/326/7380/80.pdf ... snip ... The rate of deaths related to taking ecstasy in people aged 15 - 24 during 1995 and 1996 in England was 18 and between 1995 and 1997 in Scotland was 11. The risk of using ecstasy varies between one death in 2000 first time users to one death in 50 000 first time users. ... snip ... We identified 81 deaths related to taking ecstasy. Results of toxicological examination were made available in 75 cases; MDMA accounted for 68 (91%), MDA for 7 (9%), and opiates or opioids for 44 (59%) of these cases. In 26 (38%) cases, one or more drugs (mostly hypnotics or sedatives) had been prescribed to the deceased patient (table). ... snip ... Most people who died from taking ecstasy were white employed men in their late 20s, known to services as drug addicts, and died at home. Typically, the deceased took several different (prescribed and non_prescribed) drugs with ecstasy; the large number of people who also took opiates seems surprising but confirms previ_ ous findings and may explain why a high proportion of the victims were known to services.4 People may have taken ecstasy with other drugs to modulate the effects—ecstasy had, at least, a facilitating role in causing death. A small proportion of people (6/81; 7%) died after taking only ecstasy—a previously doubted possibility.

81 deaths in the UK in 3 years ... If I remember rightly, the stat on cigarettes is 30 Million per year or so worldwide, and alcohol is around 12 Million. You do the math. Another report also contains the stats on how many people have tried drugs at various ages, but I cbf finding it now.

Anyway, my point is that don't make an opinion on something that you've based on the standard social propaganda that drugs are bad, when it's likely that your own socially acceptable vices present a hypocritical counter to any uninformed view you may have on the subject.

u know if took as much E as you would smoke cigarettes in a day u'll be dead the same day. let say u smokes a pack a day...20 fugs... why dont u take 20 E pills in a day we'll see how many people will die then. lets put it this way if u take cigarettes and pills and do both the same time u will not die of cigarettes even if u take 2 E pills everyweek..... 2 fugs a week is nothing. same with drinking. for every shot u drink take a E pills and u'll be done by the end of the night.

that is the comment of a complete dick.

No offence or nothing, but that is such an idiotic thing to say.

The fact is you take ecstacy at the weekend or whenever you go out. You only need 1 or 2 a night, obviously more for longer term users. whereas drink you have to keep going all night. once an ecstacy wears of it's usually time to go home any way. With fags and sometimes drink, you have to have them near enuff all the time, throughout the week.

Next time think before you say anything.......

what about techno djs? liebing? why he's laughing/smiling all the time ??
