FCMR Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Border TV has just put out a warning to DRUG USERS on the IOM, they have warned that a supply of E on the island is contaminated and should be avoided. The E has a star stamped on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Why warn them? If we kept it quiet, it might remove some of these idiots from the gene pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCMR Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 What if these idiots have hid the drugs, in places that todlers could find and mistake for sweets, its happened before. I now hear the the Local Police are giving very large rewards to those that report drug dealers. About time to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The danger is where they are not hidden and small children come across them and eat them. Sounds unbelieveable, but it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 What if these idiots have hid the drugs, in places that todlers could find and mistake for sweets, its happened before. Sure it has, but an uncontaminated batch would have an almost as catastrophic effect. I think it was 'thi' who said this a few years ago on Manx.net, not sure if it was his own idea or if he was quoting it, but he said that the Government should start peddling Vim on the streets as cheap smack. Once all the druggies have killed themselves off with it, no more drug problem. Huzzah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather of Manx House Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 ...so you'd happily let, say, a 16 year old, who, out of ignorance and peer pressure decides to take one of these "Rogue Batch" E's, die ? That's some serious fcuked up attitude, people... ...GOMH*... ...PS I am not interested in a Pro / Anti Drugs discussion btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speckled Frost Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 They usually 'cut' the drugs with something harmless but every now and again some idiot cuts it with domestic cleaning stuff or something (vim for instance!). Or it could be that it hasn't been cut at all and is extremely pure which can be equally dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBlueBoy Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 where's the Pro / Anti aspect ? There isn't one. It's purely down to the simple conclusion that people HAVE to be warned, irrespective of how you feel about drug takers, seasoned or otherwise.

Slim Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Isn't this risk always present with unapproved drugs? By specifically warning of a bad batch, aren't you by association validating other batches which would lead to a false sense of security? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Personally I am pro-alcohol, will tolerate tobacco but very anti everything else. The reasoning is well demonstrated by these results from the arrests of scum from 8 metropolitan forces: The largest relevant research study is the NEW-ADAM survey (Bennett, 1998; 2000; 2001), which drug-tests and interviews samples of arrestees. The latest sweep of the survey found that 65% of all arrestees tested (1,435) were positive for some form of illicit drug, with 24% testing positive for opiates and 15% for cocaine. The average weekly expenditure on drugs, for heroin and crack/cocaine users, was £290. The main sources of illegal income during the last 12 months were property crime (theft, burglary, robbery, handling stolen goods and fraud/deception) followed by drug dealing and undeclared earnings while claiming social security benefits. Heroin and crack/cocaine users had an average annual illegal income of around £15,000 - compared to an average annual illegal income of £9,000 for all interviewed arrestees. Bennett concludes that these findings suggest drug use and in particular the use of heroin and crack/cocaine is associated with higher levels of both prevalence and incidence of offending. When you bear in mind the tests were voluntary and the misery of the victims I don't believe there can be any justification for recreational pharmaceuticals. However I hope no younsters at the "experimental and rebellious" stage get harmed by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 no because drugs like e arent even that dangerous. compare the deaths of ciggaretes or alcohol and spot the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
