No big deal. You want to take alphabet soup mystery drugs, you get what's coming to you. Like a junkie who ODs, fuck em.

That's fucked. I just saw that documentary yesterday for the second time. It's a big issue. My guess is they still operated but on a more covert level.

It's ironic. Without dancesafe (or people like them), a bunch of people will overdose and the event will be shut down.

No. Fuck you. Why should anybody waste their time to protect a bunch of smelly drug addled dipshits from themselves? Thin out the heard a little.

Yeah I also watched a documentary about all this testing at festivals last night, I was surprised at just how many people are buying bath salts, and to think that's just the people who are testing it... imagine how many actual bath salts people are taking. Stupid drug deals just want money.... man I almost want to go to a festival with like 5 ounces of pure MDMA and sell it for like $35 a gram with testing to give people ease of mind... because it would give ME peace of mind.

fuck harm reduction. they know what they are doing. population reduction would be much more useful
if people want to take drugs they know nothing about, let them. test kits are readily available online. if they are too lazy to care, fuck em

Half of the fun when i used to take x pills was not knowing what it was.
But seriously, isn't it obvious why they don't want harm reduction? They want drugs to stay as dangerous as possible, to help scare people into believing they should be kept illegal, because they are dangerous

The thing is, festivals get shut down over people ODing all the time. If people start ODing at these festivals (and they will without dance safe), then these festivals are going to get shut down. It's as simple as that.

True, i just disagree with harm reduction for a differnt reson.
Noone should need companies to regent test for us. they aren't expensive, in fact, you could spend like 35$ and pack with all 3 popular regent tests. you could test like 100 doses or, something like 1000+$ worth of drugs with that
when it comes down to it, all dancesafe does is facilitate the use of drugs, and that is bad PR for everyone involved with the festival

i dont understand how dancestafe could prevent OD's. and its obvious that it doesnt, because OD's still happen all the time at festivals with dancesafe booths
plus, regent tests don't test the purity of drugs. they just look for the presence of them

Thats like taking away test kits online and saying "if theyre too lazy to care, fuck em". The kids are trying to test their pills...they do care...thats the point of the booth.
Your logic sucks.

i don't think so. regents will always be available pretty much. they are super cheap, and not really regulated in any way like drugs are

Looking at the story, it seems like electric forest was just pissed that they signed up as vendors, they told them that it would be okay if they went back to where people camp and test there
But in the article it also said that festivals (namely tomorroworld) won't even let them in... which is the part that is fucked up. Quote:

Most people don't even know these reagent kits are readily available, it isn't really their fault.

They prevent ODs by also giving out harm reduction tips, have you seen a dance safe booth before? They are there not only to test drugs but to make sure people are using them safely by providing free water and REAL drug info.

Dancesafe are the largest vendors of Reagent test kits outside of a hospital or law enforcement setting.
