	Description:		In the last few days, at least 32 people have been admitted to hospital after doing drugs at a music festival. That's on top of five drug related deaths in Australia since September. "Bad pills" get the blame, but what’s actually in a bad pill? And how big a part do overdoses play? The Signal, along with triple j's Hack program, meet people at a music festival on the weekend who've taken notice of all the pill deaths and started home-testing their drugs or avoiding them altogether as a result. Meanwhile, pill testing is firmly back on the agenda. We ask exactly how the system works and whether or not it'll save lives. Featured: Avani Dias, Hack reporter, triple j Dr Alex Wodak, President, Drug Law Reform Foundation
