| I think enough is enough. Normally i think education is a load of hog wash and never works. In terms of G, i think it is our only solution. Do people not read, or research before trying things? Its the time the media come out with the facts. FACT: XTC did not kill this girl, GHB did. Why do they try and misconstrue facts. People will read this and assume that they shouldnt mix ghb with xtc, when you shouldnt consume GHB full stop. Seriously, if your not mature enough to understand when the party is over, or when the party is getting out of control, you dont deserve to be allowed to be going out. Be informed people, 10 mins reading can save your life or someone elses life. NEVER NEVER be afraid to take someone to hospital, saving a life is more important than what your folks will think. |

Exactly. I think the intimation made by the "journalist" here is that ecstacy is a "gateway" drug that will lead you on a slippery-slope of doom until you inevitably wind up ODing in a parking lot within a month of first imbibing. It's not enough to simply point out that GHB is a dangerous substance that's difficult to measure out into "safe" portions, all other recreational drugs (and the club scene itself) must also be guilty be association in some way. Fact is, this just seems like a tragic misunderstanding: it wasn't as though she deliberately went out of her way (or was "pressured" by anyone) to take GHB, she just accidentally consumed a dangerous substance. I'm sure this sort of goes on with legal liquids all the time, but the fact that GHB is an illicit drug seems to give the journalist the impression that he has a responsbility to make it seem as though the sky is collapsing. Yes, it's tragic. Yes, people who take / deal GHB are ing idiots. However, it is not responsible journalism to ridiculously overstate the scope of the problem in this way, even in a paper as self-evidently sensationalistic as the Herald-Sun.
Sorry for the rant, but crap like this really annoys me.
EDIT: Also, if this happened in February, why is it only making the paper now? |

Just had another read, WTF would they be front-paging this half way through the year? I think alot of people want PHD closed and are only just voicing thier opinions now?
Imo the move to F4 caused many shop keepers on a saturday morning alot of grief with munted ravers deterring potential customers from shops located near the entrance to F4. I think its a public move to repel club owners to say no to PHD much like what happened to Hard Kandy at Billboards..
Inevitable Closure of PHD is thier focus i think. |

Absolutely. I have been put in this situation before (Taking an OD'er to hospital), and while the staff/nurses are generally not real happy about the situation, no-one hassles you about bringing someone in or gives you the third degree. They just try to help the person who is in trouble, just like you're trying to do. |
