3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...300716164.html
An 11 year old girl brough them to school and gave them to two 10 year old boys telling them they were lollies.
The children got sick and went to the office and an ambulance was called. The children had their stomachs pumped.
The police are now investigating the source of the estacy tablets and think that the girl may have obtained them from her older brother.
She had more tablets in her bag.
Now this seems weird to me. I have never taken it myself but im guessing like most tablets they would not be pleasant to chew and swallow? wouldnt they taste like shit?

I've heard of it happening, but I've never understood why kids don't just spit stuff out if it tastes bad. Yes, pills taste like crap, drugs taste bad. It happens, though...that's why there's the poison control hotline!

the news report said the kids claimed the pills tasted lilke strawberry /:O
I think the kids might have said it coz they didnt want to get into trouble.
anyway disturbing story nonetheless.
Re: 3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
oh yeah, E's taste fucking vile. really, really, disgusting. i've chewed them before because someone told me it makes them work faster, and god, it was the most horrid taste ever. it was a real struggle to swallow them.

that's what my boyfriend said that E's have a really gross taste.
Re: 3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
it tastes like what i'd imagine chalk mixed with rat poision and weed killer would taste like. it's not a nice texture either. it seems really fucking weird that those kids would've eaten them. i mean, if they thought they were lollies then they would've chewed them, and i guarantee if they chewed them they'd have spat them back out.

that's exactly what I thought so i think it sounds like they knew they were drugs and are just saying it to avoid getting into trouble.
if it was that girls older brother he is gonna be pissed that she took them and now the police are investigating him.

My mom ate a bunch of digitalis when she was little. It tasted awful, but it looked like candy and she knew she liked candy. Don't underestimate the power of conditioning.
Re: 3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
Um.. I know most children are innocent and stuff... a person would think... or ... i hope a person or child would think not to eat it if it tastes like shit. I mean... kids know that candy is supposed to taste good... why would they continue to eat them if they didn't.
But then there have also been little kids who knew about drugs and had access and wanted to take the anyway. I don't know if I completely believe that the children are innocent.
Not saying the are guilty or not...but there can be two sides to a story

11 yr olds aren't that naive. I wasn't. And the kids i knew weren't for the most part either. But if I got caught I would've said the same thing.

nope that's what I was getting at and a few of the other posters also alluded to it.

Oops, I was caught breezing through the responses.
Re: 3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
I definitely would've known the difference between drugs and candy at 11, but I also would've told a similar story to get out of trouble. Oopsadaisy. Glad they're okay.

;) often guilty of that myself
Re: 3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
yeah, the kids prolly knew. xtc does taste like fucking shit..
i mean i never chewed it, but all the times i swallowed em, and the bit of taste got on my tounge - it taste GROSS! but usualyl the more sour n gross it tastes, the better it is ;)
so if they really do say it taste like strawberry..it couldnt be a STRONG x-t-c, thus why wud they need their stomach pumped?
i think the kids KNEW! i mean i was innocent when i was 11 but i knew alot of kids who werent - who drank and did drugs because their older bro or sis had infleunce on em. and why didnt they just fucking swallow em? i guess they didnt know or wanted it to work faster.
that really sucks tho.....poor kids....stomach pumped? wow. :(
Re: 3 primary school kids eat estacy at school thinking they were lollies
There could be more to the story, or it could just be grossly exagerated or partially or entirely made up. I do think its strange that the kids would swallow something nasty tasting too.
Have you ever seen Media Watch? They investigate news stories each week and plenty of news and current affairs stories come out as being utter lies including the recent African gang story for example - there were no African gangs at all, just one lone African man who was randomly in a liquor store and he wasnt even Sudanese!

oooh thanks for the link i love stuff like that. once when i knew inside info on a crime that happened and read the news reports they got it totally wrong which made me very skeptical of the news after that. For the record I knew the victim not the perpetrator;)

YES. I want to puke just thinking about chewing up an E pill. Even putting it in my mouth and getting a little taste of it before swallowing is awful. Seriously the worst taste EVER. I can't imagine chewing one. :O
