Ecstasy far safer than aspirin?
A storm has erupted in Britain over the club drug ecstasy, after an outspoken police officer told the BBC that the drug is “far safer than aspirin”. The outspoken chief constable of North Wales, Richard Brunstrom, told BBC Radio 4’s Today program: “There’s a lot of scaremongering and rumour-mongering around ecstasy in particular. It isn’t borne out by the evidence.” “Ecstasy is a remarkably safe substance – it’s far safer than aspirin. “If you look at the Government’s own research into deaths you’ll find that ecstasy, by comparison to many other substances – legal and illegal – it is comparably a safe substance.”
