Stephanie Thorpe had met friends before heading to the Restricted Forest festival
A much-loved mum known for her love of parties and dance music events died while attending a music festival.
The use of ecstasy, or MDMA, dwindled during Covid due to lockdown restrictions, but since these have lifted there has been a noticeable increase in the drug's potency, reports Lancs Live. He said:: "There is no way, when you look at a tablet, of knowing how much ecstasy it contains or even what's in it".
Music festival organisers are stepping up their game to tackle the tragic fatalities associated with illegal drug consumption. Kendal Calling, since 2014, has been running a drug testing initiative known as The Loop. Dr Clayton discussed how Leah's case has impacted 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.
