My best friend is 45 years old. Possibly a similar age to your dad.
On Saturday night just gone his 18 year old daughter took one extacy tablet at a club. This was the first time she had tried it. She went to bed and never woke up.
Not only has she lost her life but she has ripped apart a mum , dad and 14 year old sister who will miss her for the rest of their lives.
PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE , dont take them. They Kill.

Information and education isn't worth it any more, is it?
Incidentally, good first post. No introduction, just steaming into a minor (albeit probably good-intentioned) trolling.
How likely is this though? i mean come on!
If she was going to die from taking exstacy she isnt going to be fine when she goes to sleep and then not wake up, it would highly unlikely of her to take a pill on the way home because whats the point, nobody wants to get home then start coming up, they want the buzz while theyre still out.
if she was going to die it would be a lot more likely to be from dehydration or over-hydration in which case she would have collapsed before going to bed...
As such, it's fairly likely she had a reaction to an ingredient in the pill.
What I disapprove of is blanket statements like "Don't Take Drugs, They Kill" because they're misleading and tantamount to scare tactics.
Education is the way forward.
education is the key...scare tactics isn't...people will probably take them anyway
Someone dying from lung cancer isnt news, its not exciting, its not dramatic, its just plain slow horrible death.
However, knowing that a young woman has had massive internal bleed and her organs had ruptured causing her to die is dramatic and it is news worthy.
The difference is one is a very occasional horrible death, the other is a daily occurance.
Just because the others are daily a occurance doesn't make them any less 'horrible'.
It's just the fact that MDMA is illegal that makes a 'good story'.
I wasnt in anyway saying it was.
There is also the issue of age as well, most people who die from ecstasy are in their late teens or early twenties, cut down in the prime of life as the tabloids are likely to say. That isnt the case with lung cancer.
I would actually say that the daily and numerous deaths from smoking are more horrible because they are so preventable.
