Cancer Causing Poppers Still on Sale
QueerNews.org.uk has discovered "poppers" continue to be sold in sex shops and in bars, clubs and saunas on the gay scene and even on the high street despite recent changes in the law effectively making the sale of any product that could be classed as a medicine being restricted from sale.
Manufacturers are escaping prosecution issued by the Department of Health and the European Commission over concerns over a link to HIV related cancers by changing the formulation from Isobutyl Nitrates to almost identical, but still legal Isopropyl Nitrates.

Clubbers confuse ecstasy powder with cocaine
A rise in the importation of high-purity powder or crystal ecstasy has led to clubbers confusing it with cocaine, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACDM) heard at an open session reviewing legal classification.
Prof David Nutt, the council's incoming chairman, said: "If you are buying white powders from someone, how do you know if you are getting MDMA [ecstasy's main ingredient], methamphetamine or cocaine? It's potentially very dangerous." Powdered ecstasy was "massively more powerful" than tablet form.
Tablets are sometimes cut with ingredients such as caffeine, ketamine, amphetamine and benzylpiperazine, a recreational class of drug likely to be outlawed soon.
Evidence of the harm caused is difficult to assess because clubbers often mix drink and drugs. The number of deaths linked to ecstasy had risen from around 17 in 1998 to 57 in 2007, Prof Fabrizio Schifano, said. Other assessments placed the current death rate at around 30 a year. Most deaths result from overheating when clubbers suffer massive organ failure.
Young women may be at greater risk, Schifano suggested, because of the effect of high estrogen levels on the ability to metabolize the drug.
Previous scientific studies have found prolonged use causes memory loss. But Prof Val Curran, from University College London, dismissed one often-quoted study as "meaningless". "We have not found [one] person who was dependent on ecstasy," she said. "The people who used it were actually a bit less depressed ... There's no robust evidence of long-term effects. Further research is needed." A rise in the importation of high-purity powder or crystal ecstasy has led to clubbers confusing it with cocaine, the Advisory Council... more -

Hey party people! Botox is all the rage
Clubbing is taking its toll on young Brits. Sleepless nights full of drugs, drinking, and smoking are making some party goers feel ugly and look aged well beyond their years. Instead of seeking a healthier lifestyle, they're having their faces injected with the botulism.
“It’s all about looking good for the party. Thankfully now, no matter how bad I feel on the inside, the Botox will always make me look better on the outside.”

Ibiza Drug Clampdown
This year 3 of Ibiza's main clubs (Amnesia, Bora Bora and DC-10) were closed down in the opening month of the club season in a bid by authorities to force them to tackle drug-dealing and consumption among clubbers. How effective has this been and how important is drug taking to the Ibiza clubbing experience? Will a serious clampdown effect tourism? How difficult is it for the police to deal with the drug situation and are they understaffed to tackle it?

New eco-nightclub where dancers generate electricity
Britain's first eco-nightclub is to open in King's Cross.
The venue will sell organic spirits served in polycarbon cups and will be powered with renewable energy.
There are also plans to install a recycled water system to flush its lavatories and an energy-generating dancefloor, which would harness power from the pounding of clubbers' feet and convert it into electricity.
Although entry to the club costs £10, those customers who can prove they travelled there by foot, bicycle or public transport will be allowed in free.
Before they are let in they will be asked to sign a pledge promising to work towards curbing climate change.
The club, due to open on 10 July, is based at Bar Surya in Pentonville Road, which is owned by property millionaire and Tory donor Andrew Charalambous.
Mr Charalambous, the head of a new climate change organisation called Club4Climate, said he hoped to use clubbing to inspire young people to tackle global warming.
"This is a new way to draw in the young generation," he said.
"It's a sexy and fresh approach as opposed to the way young people feel they are preached to by other more 'grown-up' charities.
"Our aim in opening the country's first ecological club is to get as many people as possible involved in saving their world.
"There is no greater platform than clubbing to reach out to young people. Having an energy-generating dancefloor is a very exciting and interesting-idea that we have been talking to people in Rotterdam about. Such a dancefloor could generate about 60 per cent of the building's energy."
