Current Affairs Police anti-drug office declares NGO drug testing at festivals “illegal”
Illegal recreational drugs have long been a part of the Czech music and dance scene, not least at many of country’s summer festivals. But until now, at least on occasion, NGOs focusing on drugs awareness were able to offer testing of drugs such as ecstasy on site. The aim was to check purity levels to be able to warn users of increased hazards and to make at least some of them think twice. Such initiatives now appear to be at an end: on Wednesday the police’s National Anti-Drug headquarters suggested such testing was not only inappropriate but also illegal.
