I'm not trying to make a claim about a certain DZ in particular. I wish I never had written it in the first place. I was just wondering how other people felt about the fact this may be going on. I have heard through rumours not first hand and I was just trying to get more info. I think it would be pretty obvious to the DZO if this became a bigger problem and I have trust that it would be dealt with. I will write no more about this as I didn't realize it would cause so much trouble. Sorry

I am so sorry everyone. I am NOT referring to the DZ in Australia. I was just using that as a username. Sorry if this has caused a problem. That DZ has a very good reputation and I'm sure it will stay that way. Again, I'm very sorry about all that

sorry Des. I was just using that as a username and now I regret it greatly. I am trying to change the name as I didn't realize people would think that. So so sorry - I feel really bad. OZ has a great reputation for good/clean DZ's especially this one. Again I apologize.

what I have been writing about the drug thing has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DZ TOOGOOLAWAH in Australia. I was just using that as a username. If anybody knows how I can change my username then please let me know.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DZ TOOGOOLAWAH!!!!!! I was just using that as a username. If I could change the name I would - I'm gonna look into it. Oz has a wonderful reputation for good/clean DZ's. Sorry if this has caused a problem.

my god NO - I have heard nothing but good things about Toogoolawah. I just like the name so use it as my username. I am from the States and jump here but wanted a different name. If you think this may cause problems with what I have posted please tell me and I'll change the name. Sorry I never thought that would imply that I was talking about Toogoolawah. On another note, did you meet Jimbo when he was working out there as a tandem/aff jumpmaster?

I know that there is nothing I can do about it and don't have the balls to name names or places but when I hear stories about the old days it was all pot and alcohol that wore off pretty quick and yes there were some stupid things done whilst under the influence but nowadays drugs seem so much worse. Isn't this such a dangerous drug that affects the mind after the fact? Side effects the person will continue to have, As in: The use of Ecstasy (methylenedioxymethamphetamine, MDMA) has been linked with a wide range of psychiatric sequelae such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, depersonalisation, derealisation, cognitive deficits, flashbacks, hallucinations and other perceptual disorders, and paranoid delusions and other forms of psychotic phenomena. I guess I'll just leave it at that and hope to god I'm never on the plane when the pilot has been rollin the night/days before. It's just such a shame that such a wonderful sport could be ruined by the stupidty of certain people. Thanks for the reply - I appreciate you words.

It's not an old fashioned view - it shows you are not a dumb shit looking for some kind of escape from reality which they obviously don't realize hurts alot of other people in the long run. There really needs to be more awareness about all this. I'm sick of running into people at DZ's that boast about how much fun they had "Rollin" the night before. Yeah that really makes them cool to hang out with - NOT!!! Just think what it will do to the Skydiving reputation when a plane goes down and the pilot has tested positive for this shit. Thanks for replying, hearing someone else feels that way makes me somewhat hopeful!

anybody else concerned about our Pilots/Instructors doing Ecstacy all night then flying/teaching us the next day? Is everybody completely retarded or do people know what effects that shit has to the mind afterwards? I presume none of these people have ever had a friend die because of it.

anybody else concerned about our Pilots and Instructors doing ecstacy all night then flying us all day? This is the BIG Reputable DZ's I'm talking about
