Just about every tablet you buy comes with a leaflet bearing contra-indications, even those pills which seem quite innocuous. Some of them are very alarming and sometimes prevent me from taking them, kind of just in case I am that 1 in 1,000, or whatever.
So, why are our young people going off to gigs and taking tablets, strong enough to tranquilise cart horses?
I read, this morning, of a young woman at a music festival who has died from taking a tablet which, finally, caused her lungs to fill with blood and liquid. Truly horrible, the poor girl. What is being said is that "it was a bad batch" - but what would be a "good batch" if contra-indications were handed out along with these pills? You can bet your life there would be some serious reactions by a good number of people which, if read, by the "user" would cause them not to risk it.
