People have been mixing drugs for years. The problem, though, is that it's hard to tell if the dealer has cut the MDMA with mephedrone, caffeine tablets, or some weird looking glass he found on the floor. You just keep buying the same ambiguous shit. Ringing around at ten-minute intervals late Friday night. Spending your week's wages on whatever is handed over by a guy known only on first name basis.

A lot of people enjoy the game. But the deregulated market—and the fact that synthetic substances have higher profit margins—means popular drugs can easily be replaced with a number of psychoactive and potentially dangerous substances.

Drug-related deaths at festivals have become commonplace over the past few years. In an attempt to prevent things like this happening, an organization called The Bunk Police hit up a few festivals, hoping to give festival-goers an insight into what they're taking by handing out test-kits. Except the festivals wouldn't let them in. They denied their guests the opportunity to understand whether they were going to be tripping on MDMA or rat poison all weekend.

That's when the What's In My Baggie crew decided to make a documentary. A lot of young people use drugs. England's Bestival seized £25,000 worth of the things this year. Clearly the law is irrelevant—teenagers will keep taking drugs, and there should be measures in place to ensure festival-goers can stay safe. I called up Jeff Chambers, from the documentary team, to talk about why there needs to be an honest approach in both the positive and negative attitudes toward recreational use.
