Prepare to get ripped apart.

i heard today the boy that collapsed and died had taken in excess of 14 ecstasy tablets that day!!!! wtf! how daft can you be?

you're putting yourself at risk downing 14 paracetamols let alone a class A drug.

Unfortunately young ryan was a friend of the step kids. shame some young ones dont understand the dangers of drugs... Unless you were at the post mortem you wont know exactly what he took ..............

Agreed. I've heard 5 or 6 differing stories, ranging from things direct friends of his said on the sunday (they didn't all leave on the saturday) to people I know (lot of my mates know of him and his pack of mates as we're all from around forres/hopeman/elgin) and the 14 ecstasy tablets is a new one to me. Couldn't be bothered fueling the speculation more when that appeared here but I don't think that one's true. As midge say's we'll never really know....and it's not relevant any more. Just hope the other youngsters out there can realise from this we're not in a race to get as f**ked up on drugs as we possibly can...know your limits folks!! Play safe..reach for the lasers...then go home alive!

I agree with you stephen, don't take my comments as having a go at you in any way - we are all right to discuss/speculate/reflect on what happened - I'm just trying to highlight the fact that there's so many stories about, i even heard one about it being smack which is total sh*te, that I wanted to make others aware to take it all with a pinch of salt. I've deliberately not mentioned what I believe to be the real story because even then it might not be....... Fact is that his family and friends probably all know exactly what happened, and soon we maybe will as well.

Agree with it being more mud on the scene, but in this case I can't see it being concentrated on the "dance" scene as much as some deaths have/are. After all rockness isn't viewed as a dance festival nowadays. He was probably dancing about to The View or something at the time!

40000 (or whatever) people drunk in a field at a festival - always gonna produce a small % of total mongos f**ked out their tits - if they aren't confined to the medical tent then they're lying rolling about on their own or wandering about chewing their own face off. I know I've been there a few times! Over excitement on the day maybe! Who knows but I doubt most of them intended to go that far at the start of the day. Once you've popped you can't stop and all that....

On a more positive note, sounds like Rockness was a reasonable weekend, planning a trip north for it next year regardless of the lineup, just for the banter!

ditto on the quality weekend. good tunes and great atmosphere.

just picking up on what blend said about these pills tho.....that's so true. some mates were taking cheeky halves of these so called mdma pills and had horrendous hangovers next day....which is what those nasty herbal highs did that were being sold at the first rockness.....the bzp peptide things.

some irresponsible gangster in new zealand has made tens of thousands selling those and peddling them as a natural substances. in fact they're a synthetic drug and far more dangerous than e's....can knock ur heart rate way up.

Those things are lethal..They ruined my 1st year at rockness cos i took some n was freakn out..

Heart was thumbing n felt like i was burstn for the toilet every 2secs so missed a lot off Carl cox..Took 2days to feel better afterwards!
