Yet another reason to avoid ecstacy: http://www.nuneaton-news.co.uk/Nuneaton-police-warning-dangerous-superman-drugs/story-25800782-detail/story.html

I've never been one for drugs. - Perhaps alcohol excepted.

Oddly enough, a guy I vaguely know died of a heroin overdose during the holidays.

Another odd thing, I have only ever been offered drugs once, and that was at one of Coventry's best known and respected schools.

I did find a packet of white powder on a car park near the university during the graduation days, that went very rapidly into a bin.

I was in Yates' in Coventry early one evening when I watched a guy sat in a window seat put a line of white powder down (cocaine?) and snort it. I couldn't believe his audacity.

Some people do have a cheek. There's a park next to the police station in Stratford that's known as a bit of a 'smokers corner', if you catch my drift.

You know Lex, I can often smell cannabis whilst I'm out walking the dog. Now, if I can smell it, so can plod! Interestingly enough, it often smells strongest walking along the main road. I can only assume a lot of drivers use it.

We had a barman at our local who used to slip out for a 'funny fag'. He really didn't realise how the smell clung to him, and if the wind was in the wrong direction how the smell would blow into the pub.

I occasionally catch a nostril-full whilst walking down the street as well, but there's never a copper or plastic policeman (PCSO) around to raise the issue with.
