It's after a number of drug-related deaths in recent years. Reading and Leeds Festivals and a number of other live music events are aiming to introduce the scheme with the support of local police forces.

They'll then tell them what's in the drugs before destroying whatever was handed over.

This was trialled at SGP last year and don't remember hearing any scare stories about the testing service being used to gather intelligence. And I guess destruction of the sample is a reasonable compromise - they couldn't really give it back. I wonder who performs this onerous task, and whether they have any vacancies Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 22-05-2017 13:10 PM ceekay venomous fairy Registered: Feb 2010 Posts: 39935 - Threads: 1064 Location: In a wide open space 2016 Winner Thread Honourable Mention Member Today I handled a titanium credit card that is made with brushed stainless steel and carbon.
