Mix Mag's Cocaine Craziness

Mix Mag's latest issue includes a highly controversial Christmas drugs guide which offers advice on how to buy relatively cheap cocaine over the holiday break.

"It's the week before Christmas and you've got a problem. You've 'accidentally' hoovered up (sniffed) your New Year's Eve stash (supply)," the article begins, going on to explain that dealers raise their prices due to extra demand from 'beer-drinking suits'.

"So the moral of the story- Buy early and give your stash to someone with the willpower to avoid paying through the nose for your white Christmas," the magazine advises.

The Christmas edition also hails ultra-cheap ecstasy ('the 50p pill') though the apparent endorsement of cocaine is the issue's most controversial article, particularly with many club-land figures such as Danny Rampling and Neo chief Eddie Gordon increasingly blaming the drug for the current crisis in mainstream clubbing.

"Through cocaine, lots of people involved have lost the spirit of house music, the seed of which was always about freedom and positivity. People have lost sight of that and dance music has become just a business run by the nose-up,
snoz, wiz, wallop mentality," Eddie Gordon told Skrufff earlier this year.

"Club land has been directly affected by DJs who use cocaine who've clearly lost their soul for the music. I hate the stuff, it's really a total slag's habit - just think of them shuffling into the toilet cubicle amongst all those germs to snort it through a shared rolled-up note - says it all really - sad wankers," he added.
