Voodoo Fest Death: Man Dies After One Drop of Synthetic Drug

I guess trying to fit in, wow how cool is that? I guess he will never know if he was excepted because his life just ended. People never stop amazing me!

The old Adage, "Play with fire".......Any man made drug is dangerous. Not a care in the world about the users. Money is the bottom line.

People are going to use drugs no matter what laws are in place and no matter what penalties are instilled. That is just the way people are. When we do prohibition we end up not getting rid of drugs, but getting rid of known drugs. For years and years now people have been making synthetic chemicals to try and replicate forbidden substances. Many of them are not even illegal because they are not know. In fact as long as the person selling the synthetic or, "designer drug" does not call it by the same name as the banned substance, it is not really illegal. The big problem is though these designer drugs may not be illegal they are not as safe and often made from chemicals that were never intended for consumption. Often times the designer drug is far more dangerous than its banned counterpart. So many people are touting that America is in a state of change; and there is such a large movement to change what many feel are antiquated morality laws. I think it is time we used some common sense and took a different approach to our so called,"war on drugs." So far all the war on drugs is doing is destroying the lives of young people, causing drug related deaths, pushing the cost of drugs up exponentially giving organized crime rackets and gangs copious ammounts of revenue, and filling our streets and jails with criminals. Funny, that is what we were trying to prevent to start with. I remember the stories about alcohol prohibition and how the mobsters were able to live like they were rich because of bootlegging and smuggling. The same thing goes on today with marijuana, cocaine, heroin, extacy, and methamphetamine. I am not saying all drugs should be legal and that there should be no regulation. That would be foolish. But come on, do not be so ignorant or foolish as to think the laws we have are protecting people. Half the allure to our youth is the fact that it is an act of rebellion to use drugs. Then you have other people that see drug dealers potrayed on television, music, and even driving up and down their streets as having money, power, and approval. Change the laws and watch the allure of dissapear. Change the laws and watch the gangsters and criminals lose their revenue. Next thing you know we can improve our schools and pay for other large governement programs because we will not have to have a jail cell for each one of us. You want freedom well give it to yourself.

He was havin a great time till the end.

A music Festival, in New Orleans and there was drugs there and someone over dosed?? Say it ain't true. Folks it's called thinning the herd. Let's do away with warnings and let natural selection take its course.

another doper bites the dust

Sorry about this guys death, but it's beyond me how anybody could let a complete stranger put an unknown substance in their mouth.
Just another way to clean out the gene pool I guess.

gee - when i was young they told you lsd and heroin were bad. things like that. i dont mean to minimilize drug use but do you really need these NEW drugs like bath salts and the like. dosent plain ole lsd and heroin work any more. its like part of the high is risking death. the drugs from the 70's and most of the 80's dont seem to be good enough anymore. and people will take ANYTHING even if they never heard of it.
