National Geographic Taboo: Drugs

NGC explores drug cultures around the world where people use drugs to enter an "altered state" -- sometimes with dangerous consequences. We visit a village in Venezuela where shamans use drugs to contact the spirit world, a festival in Nepal where hashish is temporarily legalized and a club scene in Amsterdam where drugs have become a focus of both recreational indulgence and scientific inquiry.

[Thanks Mr. Tumnus!]

Let me rephrase my self: It's ok to get high just to get high, to relax, to chill or for any other personal reason. But what i am implying is that if you do that on regular basis, like everyday, it certanly leads to addiction,and everyone will see you as a addict, whathever the substance it may be. And thats why society and media will have negative view. I would personaly decriminalize all drugs. I smoke marijuana for 10 years now, but like 4-5 times a month, some of my friends also smoke mj for 10 years,everyday. They are addicts, the fact is that they can't live without their dalily dosage, and i talked with them about that. And yes they admit they are addicted. And i don't judge them because they are addicted, but other people,larger group of people who don't use drugs, society, will judge them and look negative. And there is certainly distinction of drug use and drug abuse. And most people abuse drugs, there are destructive and constructive patterns even if you don't wanna see it. Thats my point.

This appears to be a thinly-veiled anti-MDMA propaganda piece. Their claims of permanent brain damage are completely unsubstantiated.

Luoco,

your level of self righteousness in disgusting.

Using drugs to "get high" is just as acceptable as any other personal reason.

Go feel special somewhere else.

The Fact is that 90% of people who use drug abuse them, and thats why society and media will always have negative view of drugs. Us 10% who use them with a purpose different then just to get high and watch colorfull ballons, us who represent positive side of drug use, well we are minority and our votes don't count much, so you will never hear positive drug story from them.

National Geographic is a propaganda factory. I have never seen a positive or even handed drug story from them and I doubt I ever will. If you get your drug information only from National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, give up now.
