Pill testing will not be available at dance festivals this summer
This year, ecstasy and other drugs will not be tested at Czech dance parties this summer for the first time in a number of years.
The Czech Drug Enforcement Agency has taken a negative standpoint, claiming that NGOs offering such harm reduction intervention are actually over-stepping the law, despite the fact there have been dangerous new drugs emerging on the dance scene recently, and sold under the label of ecstasy. The topic was subject to a TV discussion on the 1st public channel; the participants were Dr. Tomas Zabransky, Head of the Research and Developmental Unit of the Centre for Addictology, and plk. Jakub Frydrych, head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

A record of the debate is available HERE. The National Drug Coordinator has issued a positive standpoint about pill testing, despite the fact the services are not being covered by Czech drug policy funds.
