19-year-old man, who had apparently overdosed after smoking marijuana and taking ecstacy. He died in hospital Wednesday.
About three hours later, paramedics were unable to revive a 51-year-old man on the Adams Lake Reserve.
The man's girlfriend also became ill and was taken to hospital with a suspected drug overdose. She reported the man was drinking alcohol, injecting drugs and smoking hashish.
Another woman -- a 20-year-old -- overdosed on Wednesday and was taken to hospital.
All four of the victims are believed to have been using ecstacy prior to overdosing.

There have been clinical studies that say the appropriate dose does wonders for relationship therapy. Having a controlled correct [as in purity and quantity ] dose might not lead to these problems

Mithoefer took 21 people with chronic PTSD, all of whom had been subjected to documented abuse. All had also been through six months of treatment with traditional therapy, in addition to a three-month treatment with drugs. None, however, had shown any improvement from the treatment.
Under Mithoefer’s treatment, the patients stopped their usual anxiety-reducing drugs, and began a new treatment with twelve sessions of psychotherapy. During two of these therapy sessions, some patients were given doses of MDMA, while the others were given a placebo (a fake pill).
Two months after the treatment, 92 percent of MDMA patients had clinically significant improvement in their conditions: They were more open to therapy and were able to process the trauma. They managed to escape from their shells and shame, and to see lifelong patterns of behaviour. They were less dispirited, evasive and afraid. In contrast, only 25 percent of the patients in the placebo group showed progress. Everyone in this group was subsequently offered treatment with MDMA, and the results have been good, with no serious or lasting side effects.

This story really is an argument for legalization and deregulation of all drugs.
Addiction and abuse should be treated as a medical, not a criminal problem
