The drug Nurofen Plus is being dealt to festival-goers at record levels following the recent announcement that packs of the drug had been sabotaged with a more potent narcotic.
In the biggest drug mix-up since ecstasy pills were found in packs of Skittles, some Nurofen Plus pills had been replaced with the anti-psychotic drug Seroquel XL.
Instead of offering pain relief, the sabotaged Nurofen makes people feel less psychotic, a rare feeling during a festival where others will quite happily chuck their urine or faeces at you for "a laugh" or to get with the "spirit" and "atmosphere" of the festivities.
However, reports indicate that the sabotaged drug was most in demand during the My Chemical Romance set, where festival-goers took the anti-psychotic drug regularly to ensure they didn't murder themselves or anyone around them.
Keen to have this feeling of anti-psychoticness, festival-goers are requesting the sabotaged Nurofen Plus at record numbers meaning drug dealers are trying their best to satisfy demand.
One drug dealer said, "I 'as been preparin' all year for da Reading Festival. I brought in all of da drugs you could tink ov, but now deez fools want Nurofen. Why would you want Nurofen, if you can get your 'ands on sum crack? It doesn't make sense bruv. In da end I sold sum fools da Boots paracetamols - deez people are propa thick!"
The increased Nurofen dealing is already raising alarm bells within government, with several MPs trying to ban the drug.
One Conservative MP said, "Nurofen may provide us with quick and easy pain relief, but if young people are taking advantage of the sabotaged drug then we must take the appropriate measures to ensure it does not get sold more widely."
Drug-taking at the Reading Festival had already come under scrutiny after it emerged that Boots had opened up a 'Morning After Pill' stand on the site. The 'Morning After Pill' stand was recording record sales, even selling more than the nearby burger and beer stalls.
A spokesperson for Boots said, "It seems obvious from these figures that despite the need for festival-goers to get "shit-faced" and "eat crap", there is even more demand for a morning after pill to be readily available at the competitive festival price of £50 each."
