Earlier this month, three\u00a0deaths and dozens of cases of illness were attributed to drugs at the VELD festival in Ontario and Boonstock in BC. And the resurgence of large-scale, camp-out music\u00a0events \u2014 especially EDM (electronic dance music) festivals \u2014 means these incidents will only become more common.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional response to these tragedies is predictable and ineffective. We tend to blame the individuals for making bad choices and trumpet the \u201cjust say no to drugs\u201d\u00a0mantra.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s a better way. For starters, we need to acknowledge that drug use is not going away. Which isn\u2019t to say we should condone it or encourage it. However, it\u2019s na\u00efve to\u00a0think that we can eliminate drug use at music festivals, or anywhere, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s make it safer. The world is full of instructive solutions to the problems we face: Canadian youth are not unique in supplementing their partying with psychoactive\u00a0substances. In the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, Colombia, Spain and Austria, authorities have developed \u201csafer parties\u201d strategies to help concert-goers determine if\u00a0the pills they are about to ingest are as advertised.<\/p>\n<p>In Austria, for example, ChEckiT project workers attend large music events and offer professional drug testing for purity and accurate labelling, which provides results\u00a0within 30 minutes. It\u2019s part of an integrated drug-checking service that includes information, individual counselling, crisis intervention, group discussions, telephone\u00a0hotlines, and educational videos on drug-related themes. Colombian NGO Accion Tecnica Social has initiated a similar program in that country.<\/p>\n<p>Other countries provide continuously available street-level testing facilities. One example is the Dutch Ministry of Health\u2019s Drug Information Monitoring System (DIMS),\u00a0which began in 1988 with testing ecstasy at raves. Today, people can drop off their substances for analysis at a DIMS office, and then check on the internet a couple of days\u00a0later for results. This system also gives authorities a real-time assessment of drug market trends, enabling general warnings to the community at large when warranted.\u00a0Here in Canada, only police seizures and hospital visits give us that data, at which point it\u2019s usually too late.<\/p>\n<p>None of these programs serve to endorse drug use. But they do send clear messages to young people that society actually cares about their wellbeing. Their fate doesn\u2019t need\u00a0to be conceded to the vagaries of an unregulated, potentially unsafe black market.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we don\u2019t send these messages in Canada. Beyond broad platitudes about education and awareness, the concrete measures taken are primarily reactive rather\u00a0than preventative. Public officials and police will wring their hands, warn people not to take drugs and perhaps step up attempts to go after the dealers. Event promoters will\u00a0increase screening at the gate, bring in more emergency responders, and establish \u201cchill-out tents\u201d for those who need a break.<\/p>\n<p>All of which is perfectly worthwhile and laudable, but in the meantime, young people will die because no one in authority is willing to consider product safety as a potential\u00a0solution to music festival deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Product testing isn\u2019t complicated. It wouldn\u2019t require any major legislation overhaul, and public-health workers could partner with existing grassroots organizations active\u00a0in the space to carry it out. For example, the Toronto Raver Information Project (TRIP) already provides info and supplies around safer drug use for the perpetual cohort of\u00a0partyers for whom simply \u201csaying no\u201d is not a realistic goal. ANKORS does similar work \u2014 including some rudimentary product testing \u2014 at B.C.\u2019s Shambhala festival.\u00a0Outside of the events themselves, police could more regularly disclose Health Canada results of the contents of substances seized at raves. Currently, they only do so in\u00a0exceptional circumstances when it suits their purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the test results, however, we know from constant warnings of police and others that no drug is made safer when left in the hands of organized criminals and\u00a0unregulated dealers. So as part of a product-safety regimen, we should also open a discussion about alternatives to across-the-board prohibition, like experimenting with a\u00a0legal regulated market for party drugs \u2014 as New Zealand has done.<\/p>\n<p>Product testing and drug policy experimentation isn\u2019t the same as creating a free-for-all where all drugs are available in any corner store for whoever wants them. Nor would\u00a0it minimize the importance of health information and drug education and awareness programs \u2014 similar to how we approach tobacco and our favourite party drug, alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>It is simply the recognition that we have the power and knowledge to prevent unnecessary deaths at music festivals and anywhere else drugs are taken. What is holding us\u00a0back?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article first appeared as an op-ed in the National Post, August 20, 2014 It\u2019s summertime, so we can count on this unfortunate fact: Young Canadians will die or become seriously ill because of drug use at music festivals.
