'It's not like going in Boots and buying a box of pills made by Pfizer'
Stephanie Thorpe was no stranger to a party. The much-loved mum had taken recreational drugs at dance music events in the past.
An inquest into her death held this week heard how Stephane would have had little idea of the horrific game of roulette she was playing. With super strength ecstasy hitting the streets, experts have warned that many who chose to take recreational drugs no longer 'know what they are getting'. Dr Mark Clayton is an expert of sorts when it comes to taking ecstasy at music festivals. As well as being a qualified and experienced doctor in emergency medicine, he works alongside event organisers in an attempt to reduce the number of deaths caused by ecstasy use at music festivals.
"These drugs are being made in people's kitchens. It's not like going in Boots and buying a box of pills made by Pfizer." "We find that people rely on past experiences. It's very common for me to meet people in a festival setting who say they have taken it before and were absolutely fine." Dr Clayton explained how Leah's case has affected ecstasy users. "One of the things she died of was water intoxication so people often swing the other way and don't drink enough; it's a fine line to tread," he said during Stephanie's inquest.
