NSW Reintroduces Pill Testing at Festivals | Sydney News

New South Wales is reviving pill testing at music festivals starting October, following a trial that analyzed over 1,400 drug samples—revealing dangerous contaminants and high MDMA doses. While the program aims to empower safer choices, critics warn sniffer dogs and searches may push users to consume all drugs at once, increasing overdose risks. Advocates push for community-based drug checking, since most deaths occur at home—not just at gigs—and states like ACT and Victoria are already offering this lifesaving service outside festival grounds.
