Festivalgoers are urged to be careful and know the signs of an overdose
Leeds Festival organisers have issued a warning to those heading to the festival this Bank Holiday over the rise of ecstasy deaths. On the organiser's website, they warn that in recent years the amount of MDMA found in tablets has been increasing.
"A combination of factors are at play such as body weight, hormone levels, mixing with other drugs including alcohol, underlying health and so on. There is no safe dose." The policy also offers advice to those who may find themselves having taken drugs while at the event. They remind people that cheap does not mean weak, that pure does not mean safe and reminds that it is possible to up a dose, but never to lower it.
