Sympathy to the Ryan family.
Steel Dragon - It said he'd ODed. The drug was probably fine, he had just taken too much.
Taking drugs does have a risk, but alcohol is also a drug. Alcohol has been accepted by society, mainly because it is legal. But 'other' drugs are seen by society as a major problem. You never hear of the amazing experiences these drugs can give a person, only of the deaths that occur. How many drink-driving accidents do you hear of? Pub brawls? etc. They all impact on your brain, giving different effects but for some reason alcohol is legal and the rest are not?
Drugs should be regulated by the government to ensure their safety and restrictions for the moderation of use. This way you wont get pills laced with kitchen products or weed that has got fly spray in it. Hard drugs such as crystal meth and heroin should never be legal and should be target number one for eradication in Australia.
