Too Much Stupidity

[Editor: The gist of the submission: 22-year-old at Rainbow Serpent music concert ingested many drugs, lastly drinking amyl nitrate - a drug whose vapors are inhaled, not swallowed - resulting in death. Interesting aspect: Coroner's suggestion to legalize drugs so that information on health risks can be more easily disseminated.]

This could use a MUCH better writeup, but it's certainly worthy of a DA as far as I'm concerned. There's good detail in the article: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-07/coroner-finds-16-substances-in-festival-goers-bloodstream/9522588
