According to a report in today's Daily Mirror, Ecstacy use among young people has fallen, whilst overall drug use has increased. Cocaine, Tranquillisers, Amyl Nitrate, 'shrooms and weed are all growth industries. Home Office minister Caroline Flint claims that youngsters are finally getting the message that Ecstacy is harmful. Obviously that's bollocks, as Steve Rolles of the Transform Drug Policy Institute rightly states:"Patterns of illegal drug use are determined by fashion not Government Policy".

It's just one more nail in the coffin for the Rave Dream.....
