How Not To Die: Taking Ecstasy
When Lewis and his best friend Luke were 16, they decided to celebrate their last day of school by going on a big night out. They contacted a mutual friend and bought ecstasy for the occasion. The next morning, Lewis - who had spent the night blacking out - had to come to terms with the fact that Luke had died due to the way his body responded to the pills. This video explains why the drugs were so deadly and how you can avoid the same thing happening if you find yourself or a friend in a similar situation.
