Groovin the Moo pill tests find lethal stimulant, paint and toothpaste in drugs
ABCThe pill-testing trial at Groovin the Moo in Canberra has found some lethal and odd ingredients in what many festival-goers believed to be party drugs. But Dr Caldicott said the environment in which testing took place was "quite harsh" and that "direct measurements of purity were not possible with the equipment". "Certainly more than that were convinced that it would alter the way they would consume drugs on that day," he said. "The ACT Government still believes that not taking any drugs is the message we are giving to people and certainly that was the message given to everyone taken into the tent yesterday, but what we've seen yesterday is a different approach," he said. He said he would be "open to discussions" with other jurisdictions and hoped they would follow suit, but admitted the process involved navigating "complex" health and legal issues.
