Drug testing appalling

-

I am appalled that testing for drugs at festivals happens at all. You will say it may save lives, but telling concert goers who can’t enjoy themselves without being in a daze that it’s okay is never going to save anyone.

Young people should be responsibl­e for their own actions. They have a choice and testing of drugs is taking that away from them. People who cause accidents on the road should have to watch the results they have caused. Pill poppers should also see what can happen. They might then in future use their brains.
