drugs inc. in your town

so i've always wondered how much drugs inc. stays true to the area they are doing shows on. and the upcoming episode is houston. so i guess i'll find out. it's seems like it'll be an interesting episode for me to watch since i've expreinced houston drug scene first hand.
have you guys watched drug inc. episodes that were based in your area? if so how i'd like to know how it compared to your personal experience.

Its inaccurate
Source: 10 years experience DEA field agent
So far they haven't even shown one person overdose on marijuana or kill their family after drinking acid

They were pretty spot on when they did my town. The prices and everything right on point. I like the show and wish they would do more cities already. Amsterdam or Brazil or Columbia.. getting tired of the US episodes.

bad ass im really curious to know how hosuton is portrayed. it's a very unique city when it comes to drugs. not like many cities i have vistted in my short time on earth.
the episode on adderall was interesting to say the least. i wouldn't mind seeing some other country episodes.

Drugs Inc is complete bullshit. They fabricate so much information on that show it's horrendous. I stopped watching after 3-4 episodes because it was all propaganda.

idk one scene will make me go "oh for the love of god, that is bullshit" then the next scene will be truthfull. i dont they are intending for it to be bullshit, i just think the drug scene is hard to understand without truly being a part of it. thats what makes it thrive.

I really wanted it to be a fair and balanced show. God knows it would be great to have some mainstream media dispelling some of the propaganda. Sadly that was just not the case.

It's not nearly as bad as it could be. It's as close to non biased as one could hope for, at least. Their LSD Special with the cop was outrageous, but then the Ayahuasca one was very nice. So it all depends on the person they choose to focus on and interview.

if you're selling you;re going to get busted eventually, but luckily there are no electric bills in prison. really though i get it, i've been on both sides. However they dont care about the customer anymore. any job should be focused on customer satisfaction, and genuine care for individuals physical, and mental health. along with their overall wellbeing, financial or not.

What are some of the latest ones? I want to see if I missed any.
Never mind, this can easily be looked up: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/drugs-inc/episode-guide/
Scratch "easily". That list is displaying every fucking airing (i.e. re-runs). I guess I'll try Wikipedia.

I get that, but in your other post you generalized drug dealers saying "they don't care about the customers anymore". There's always been people in it just for the money, the drug trade goes back thousands of years and the motives of individuals within it are as varied as anywhere else. In the past 50 years there might have been a rise in empathy within the scene IMO

i was speaking in the same context, i wasn't generalizing. i mean specifically the people who only care about money, not their customers, or product. Those are the people lacing weed with synthnoids, and selling RC's as LSD, and MDMA.

Mind you I dont grow or sell weed.
But if I did, I would put as much love and care into it as I do with all my other loved projects. And I would charge according to time and effort and investment cost.

Yeah, but the other ones are doing many crack/heroin/meth episodes -- the focus of the episodes being location, usually. So they should do derivatives of the subject of psychedelic drugs. The main episode never focused on the hippie-type people who really believe in psychedelic drugs.
