Well, i think that needs to be looked at more closely. You mighta been more fucked on pills and powder which do have their danger sides when overseas, but P and rinse are pretty nasty farkin drugs IMO - people don't just enjoy getting fucked on them, it seems they fuck people up proper.
Because of the relative expense of better quality drugs in NZ, the "cheap drug" scene has always added an ugly side to the NZ dance scene, with peeps fucked on P, rinsing out in clubs etc...
