ECSTASY AMD THE LEGION DON'T MIX
Some girls went to the Legion all messed up on ecstasy on Oct.
26.
One of the girls fell to the floor and stopped breathing and her heart
stopped as well.
Mind you the Legion staff didn't do anything. The only person that did
something to help her was a guy by the name of Jason (he used to work at the
Legion up until a week ago).
Thank God that he decided to go out that night or else that girl would have
died. It makes you wonder what the hell the Legion staff were doing --
apparently not their job or else they would have noticed that something was
wrong with her.
That's pretty scary stuff. People in town and also the communities come here
to go to the Legion to drink and have a good time. The staff should be more
responsible for the patrons who are there. That's why they work there, is it
not?
I don't think that they all understand that if something happens to somebody
that's there, it's their responsibility.

Editor's note: Despite what the letter-writer may think about the Legion, we
believe that those who insist on using ecstasy should at least take personal
responsibility for the consequences. Ecstasy tablets sold on the street are
notorious for their impurities, and may contain many chemicals other than
MDMA, the active ingredient. People who use the drug should also be aware
that ecstasy places extra strain on the heart, liver and kidneys and should
NOT be combined with alcohol. Users are advised to drink lots of water or
juice to avoid dehydration. People with Internet access can find more
information about the drug here:
