DRUGS INC on cannabis NOW!

Discussion in 'Television/Internet TV/VOD/DVD' started by HeadySpaghetti, Jul 13, 2010.

  1. National Geographic, its about cannabis now. Lets hope for a good non-biased opinion :)

    if u miss it tongiht itll be on tommorow im sure
     
  2. Great show i thought, it was A LOT more pro-weed, than anti-weed. Totally debunking Andslinger* and Regan. Fuck them. But I thought it was great, the dope one was cringing...

    thoughts?
     
  3. Wasn't a big fan of the Marijuana episode, although I did like how it was kinda pro-weed. The Heroin episode was pretty godo!
     
  4. For the Dope one should of done New jersey..Camden.
    Vancouver aint got shit,compared to what you see down there.
     
  5. true jerseys got a lot more here. but i think they centered in chicago and canada because of the clinics they have up there, to shoot up clean, and also to get off of heroin with a 100% potent H so they can control the doses.

    and chicago because there is way more gangs, street violence, just a lot more gritty there.
     
  6. i enjoyed the drugs inc documentary, came with the giant cannabis torrent
     

  7. I definitely saw the bias there. Too bad you were looking for no bias.

    The heroin episode pissed me off. They made it a lot more dangerous by focusing only on IV drug users. During the meth episode they didn't focus on IV drug use. They're giving heroin a bad rep.
     
  8. I'd say it's pretty justified. There's not really a safe way to take heroin.
     
  9. i agree with that statement. Although heroin is a very powerful drug either way, IV usage is like a totally different level.
     
  10. It was like most other documentarys on cannabis, and I have seen them all.

    I'm tired of seeing the "DEA" side and how they always portray that, eh.

    :eek:
     
  11. i swim at that lake they were at busting the grow at the end. HAHa warned all my buddies that grow in those hills. They are out like fuckin vultures this year.
     

  12. Sure there is, did you not watch the heroin episode? In Switzerland, they give out free, pure heroin under doctor's supervision. You get exact doses, with no risk of overdosing (since they are under doctor care, they can get naloxone to save them if need be). That's a very safe way to use heroin.
     
  13. It's still addictive as fuck. It's the safest possible way to do it, but that doesn't exactly make it safe.
     
  14. ^ you have a point. I think it was fucked up that they let them shoot up legally, though. try stopping it instead of encouraging it. but they are helping them out by making it more safe to shoot up and not getting diseases

    & I loooove this series
     

  15. Most likely alot more addicting than the street heroin due to it being "100% pure Dope"

    The fact of the matter is that it is safe to use heroin that way, and probably ONLY in that way. Of course it's addicting, but that's not what you were referring to. Of course heroin will always be addicting, but there is still a safe way to use it.

    It's not a travesty for a government to take care of it's citizens. The reason the clinic runs is to ween addicts off of the drug. They have a physiological disease that is cured by giving them heroin under monitored conditions, what treatment would you suggest? Just letting the patients suffer, and making them turn back to dirty street heroin and ruin the city again, overdosing everywhere? Switzerland isn't the only country to prescribe heroin to addicts as a method of weening them off of it.
     


  17. Those socialist fucks are taxing the shit out of hard-working individuals to pay for the sick heroin users who did it to themselves? That IS a travesty! How is that fair? Heroin junkies should either go the way of Darwin Theory and die or get some will power and quit shooting dope. Why should they burden the "system" with their selfish disease? Yea give heroin addicts more heroin for free... seems that the government wants these people to be addicted drones in order to keep power.
     
  18. I completely agree. This is like feeding a morbidly obese person slightly less food every day for months, instead of telling them to exercise and eat less. WHY? Give them enough food to live, and tell them to deal with their fucking issues. Same thing with clinics: medicate the users so they don't die, and let them get clean.

    What you mentioned is a flaw in the socialist system itself. However, the one heroin addict they talked to said that she was finally able to work and get hobbies since she started treatment. She is helping pay for her heroin through taxes, just like everyone else, meaning she is benefiting society even though she still gets heroin.

    A government without citizens is not a government at all. The government needs citizens to survive, thus they protect their citizens.
    Being morbidly obese is not analogous to a heroin addiction. Heroin addiction changes the brain's physiology making them crave the drug and get violently ill when they don't have it. When a fatass doesn't eat he gets hungry.

    She is not benefiting society, she is leeching off of employed tax payers to get her fix
