Man dead, woman ill after ingesting herbal ecstasy [CAN]

It's ironic the legal X alternative is more dangerous than the actual drug...

Man dead, woman ill after ingesting herbal ecstasy
July 2, 2008 - theglobeandmail.com

A man died and a woman is in critical condition after ingesting what police believe was a herbal alternative to the designer drug ecstasy.

Police say a 55-year-old man collapsed early Monday morning at the Guvernment nightclub after taking the product that can be purchased at drug paraphernalia stores. The next morning at the same club, a woman described as a 27-year-old medical student from Scarborough also collapsed after taking what police suspect was a similar product.

Ecstasy is a drug popular at raves for its mood-enhancing, energy-stimulating and hallucinogenic properties. Products under several names such as Red Bliss, Energy Squared and Bliss Extra are sold online as Herbal Ecstasy. Police say a similar product known as Pure Rush can be purchased at drug paraphernalia stores.

Actually, it is quite typical:

Nicotine, extremely toxic (used as a pesticide), yet legal to buy as a drug.
Alcohol, fairly toxic, yet legal to buy as a drug.

Cannabis, extremely safe, yet illegal to buy as a drug.
MDMA, fairly safe, yet illegal to buy as a drug.
LSD, extremely safe, yet illegal to buy as a drug.
Mushrooms, extremely safe, yet illegal to buy as a drug.

(My "safe" is with respect to toxicology.)

The convernment caint control the flock with a bunch of wise, free thinking, peace loving, substance users.

They need reppressed drunken, smokers who will die early in life as to not spread the information they have gained about the government by the time they start to develop a brain

It's so true. People see "legal" and presume "safe" when its usually the opposite.

There has to be something else about this drug thing. Something we're all missing. If it seriously is one big greed issue then we live in one sad world.

Even this makes no sense. Why spend money researching and producing new drugs at a high cost only to sell at an even higher cost when we have drugs, human tested for hundreds of years, that can be produced for next to nothing. Oh and the fact they actually work unlike all these cheap assed imitations that usually make you feel sick.

even the greed issue points towards legalising illegal drugs.

I never understood why scientists want to produce synthetic versions of everything. They claim its safer, but we are not man made (noone comment on their dad being a man and they made them) so anything that is will have some detremental effect. You only have to look at the side effects on the packet.

yea i completely agree man, and alot of the shit that they are using to make these "herbal mood enhancers" is either form a drug that poeple already use, then they add all kinds of crazy shit none even wants to know about, or something noone knows about. ima stick to the drugs that i know and love. and my ecstacy will never be herbal... just fantastic

I remember going through the "If I'm getting fucked up, I'm doing it with (quasi)legal substances" stage. One of the products I used to use had something called "Indian Bromine." I still have no idea what the hell Indian Bromine is, where it comes from, what it does, how it's made, or anything like that. I only found some shoddy chemical supplier from China selling "Indian Bromine" with no description of what it was. It has to come to a point where people realize that legal is not synonymous with safe and illegal doesn't necessarily mean bad or dangerous. Once enough people realize it, things have to change... Maybe. Hopefully.

For all those who like to deal in "what ifs'" as a way of rationalizing things: What if these people had just eaten a few grams of shrooms? Would they have fallen out dead on the dance floor?

Fuck no.
