yup i think they are but they dont think it will ever happen to them
This comment is so true. I have come across many young people in my life who have said the exact same thing after a bad experience with drugs or the party pill. I'd ask them "Why on earth did you take it? You saw how it affected 'Steve' and you've heard all the stories." The answer was always "I didn't think it would happen to me!"
As a teenager and as a young adult at university, some of my friends were taking cocaine and/or marijuana. Now I've never taken drugs in my life and don't intend too and my friends respected that and never suggested I join them. I did however constantly warn them of the effects and where to get help in terms to quiting.
The negative effects of party pills are clearly stated on the media aswell as on the packaging, what I want to know is why would someone need to pop a pill to have fun? I'm sure we can all find fun ways to entertain ourselves in our normal state of mind. I personally don't see a need for them so would be happy for them to not be available at all. It would be interesting to research why people take party pills, the results and where the experience has taken them.
That's my next research project
