 Drugs Inc. on Nat Geo

What did you think about the Hallucinogens episode of Drugs Inc.? I thought overall, it was very positive. There was certainly some bullshit, like the prick DEA agent who accidentally ingested LSD during a acid lab dismantling, who said that the nurse at the hospital told him that had he not taken Valium, he would have died? WTF. Really? There's no way that really happened unless the nurse didn't know what she was talking about either. The DEA agent probably knows its bullshit, but had to throw some lies into his story, since it's what they do. They don't know anything else.
But overall it was very positive. They covered the Yage ceremonies pretty well. They talked about the psilocybin treatment for cluster headaches well. They did a good job with the ibogaine treatments for heroin addiction. They did a great job with the end of life LSD treatments. I thought it was terrific for the most part. You should check it out.

There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined. Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens.

On this note someone was watching some tv show (H@ was in the bottom right corner) and it was about ayahuasca in a tribe, did not catch which one but a neuroscienntist of some sort took and measured brain activity while he was in the state. Very interesting and positive. Downside was the commentator was paraphrasing things like a retard would.
The scientist shed a bright light on the subject matter and I was happy to have caught part of this show.

It's definitely not unbiased. They basically shitted all over the concept of taking psychedelics recreationally, but they praised the benefits of taking it for medicinal purposes.
No link yet. It just got done airing for the first time.

You would think that leaving out the recreational purpose is how to make a movement start rolling. Think of marijuana legalization. It's all about the clinical beneficiary. I like that point of view personally. I think it would sit more at ease with the closed minded folk.

Oh yeah, absolutely. That's why I'm fine with it for the most part. It's a step in the right direction.

You know, I feel you... But I mean if we ever want to even consider a better view on the chems we like to play with the best route seems to be getting them accepted as medicinal first. So when they show an average white male going through pain where he can't find any help then show him eat his home grown fungi and feel so much better it might get a better response than you and I walking through the woods staring at trees

about to watch this in 20 mins! glad to hear they did a good job.
I've watched a few other drugs inc. episodes, and there is always some bullshit mixed in with the truth. Just a lot of blatantly wrong statements.
