Pill testing and drug legislation are polarising topics in many countries. While some governments have welcome testing of psychoactive substances at music festivals and gatherings, others are still weighing out pros and cons. Sofija Petrovic spoke to Irena Molnar, from Serbian organisation RE:generation about what steps Serbia is taking to prevent youth from dying of drug overdoses. She was also joined by Dr. Nicole Lee, from 360 Edge, to discuss drug use and fatality in Australia.
