A new bid to reduce the risk of dodgy recreational drugs - done with the help of Electric Picnic revellers - has revealed how the potency of pills can vary hugely.
Ireland's first ever "back of house" drug testing pilot programme - which took place at Electric Picnic last month - is part of the HSE ‘Safer Nightlife’ harm reduction campaign.
The aim of the pilot was to access, test and identify substances in a festival setting, alert the public, harm reduction services and onsite medics to any dangerous substances.
