There is outrage that the Ministry of Health has allowed a potentially illegal party pill to be sold on the Internet. The drug Ease was being trialled by the company Stargate International, as an alternative to Ecstasy. Producers of a new TV show tested the pill and found it contained methylone, a copycat version of the Class B controlled drug cathinone. Anti-party pill campaigner and National MP Jacqui Dean says not enough is known about party pills and their effects. She says any restricted drugs being put on the market should be tested by the Ministry. Jacqui Dean says the government should have put its foot down on party pills a long time ago. She says there is more and more anecdotal evidence that these pills are dangerous and now another one has slipped through the net. She says the government should be ashamed about taking so long to act. Ease has now been taken off the market.
