Manchester police to tolerate personal XTC in clubs

'The Big Issue has recently covered a new police procedure to tolerate personal ecstasy in clubs.
This approach is to be pioneered in Manchester as part of the Greater Manchester Clubsafe scheme which aims to set new safety standards at venues - including free drinking water, first aid training for staff and stricter guidelines on body searching.
The new initiative has been launched at six clubs in Manchester. Party goers will know if a club is taking part in the scheme because clubs testing the scheme will have a plaque outside.
In the past, club owners have side-stepped clubbers' safety issues because they don't want to show police they're aware of drug use inside their doors.
In the test-case clubs, doormen catching party goers with personal ecstasy (anything up to 20 pills) are no longer obliged to call the police. They can now confiscate the drugs and let the clubbers in, instead.
Mat Southwell of the Dance Drugs Alliance said: "Clubbers will notice that their health is being seen by club owners and police as central to their night out, rather than being treated as criminals".
the police starting to see better sense? |

Its all madness.
SDhould be done in the uk. In holland everyone is aloud 3 pills each in any club. No one died last year and incidents were cut to a minimum.

Well this sounds like a good idea. All club owners know that drugs are widely used in their clubs, but cant do much about it, and its a large factor in the uk clubbing scene.
Millions of people take drugs over each weekend, they cant stop them all. So may as well just educate them in safe use, or do wot they have said in this new idea :D |
