    I know it was discussed a few pages back and maybe it deserves it's own thread, but I feel like I want to lend my voice to the argument. Certainly MDMA/Ecstasy does not provoke fights or aggression, quite opposite in fact. A place of dancing where majority are using these substances is a place of joy and happiness.

    I actually think if alcohol was invented today it'd be a Class A drug. Addictive, can easily overdose (vomiting etc), causes aggression in many people, you can get dangerously unsteady on it, it's a high killer for alcoholics and related to a lot of suicides which is horrible. The only thing saving alcohol from being banned and Class A is that it's somehow gotten embedded in culture.

    I believe 95% of poor behaviour at a festival, gig, pub, nightclub is alcohol related and not MDMA/Ecstasy.

    That sort of conversation might be better suited to afterhours tbh.

    Of course and I did allude to that in my post but it was discussed here so I replied here!

    Why is there a need to explain, just simply waving my hands in the air.

    Well I was listening to Syd Barrett since you asked and yes the track Waving my arms in the air, you probably thought I got some undisclosed information about a newly added act, unfortunately that is not the case.

    Funny, that was what I did wonder!
    Syd Barrett - there's a name!
    Someone tried to spin a yarn on 01.04.17 about a possible Pink Floyd ex to attend EP. Not Syd, of course!

    I know one you would like for EP, The Can Project, surviving members of the group Can who are playing Glastonbury I think, wouldn't mind them either.

    Anyone know a good website for searching European festivals? E-festivals doesn't seem to be as user friendly as I remember.

    Hey dudes just a heads up, partying over the weekend is gonna get a wee bit harder to do especially if you are a driver or designated driver. A new law came in today for roadside drug testing. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/drivers-can-now-be-tested-for-drugs-at-roadside-checkpoints-1.3046265

    From the article ...
    Moyadh Murdoch, chief executive of the Road Safety Authority, said studies had shown that a lot of people do not believe smoking a joint impairs their driving. "It absolutely does"

    Yes indeed.
    Stoner drivers ask themselves questions like:

    "Why am I driving at 8 mph? I should go faster, that looks suspicious"

    and the very common "I wonder where am I going".

    When I was a younger man, these were questions that I asked myself on more than one occasion. I haven't tried that in many years.

    One thing being off your face driving! I'm completely against this, but I can see people with 'drugs in their system', but not under the influence being prosecuted.
