Very sad state of affairs for both of the deceased and their familys.

I'm interested to hear peoples reactions on this forums but already on other forums I've been on people have been blaming drugs for both their deaths or labeling them as "druggy scum" who don't deserve our sympathy.

I think there has been far too much focus on the use of cocaine in this case rather than the abuse of cocains, alcohol and sleeping pills. 2 out of the 3 drugs that killed Natasha Collins are legal and and depressives. Personally I know what's more likely to make me fall asleep, a bag full of coke or vodka and sleeping pills.

Still Vodka and sleeping pills are legal and therefore socially acceptable. I hope that one good thing can come from this dreadful situation and that's a well thought out and informed debate on the UKs drugs policy.
