Title: Drugs, Inc on Nat Geo
Post by: jackstraw on January 16, 2012, 02:45 pm
Has anyone been watching the Drugs, Inc series on National Geographic Channel?  I saw the one on Hashish and learned a few things I didn't really know.  They follow it from the pollen to it being smuggled and consumed.   They also had one on Ecstasy.  Showed the trees being illegally cut down in Cambodia to get the sassafras oil and even had drug labs in Amsterdam showing how it's made and pills being pressed.  They don't really show too much of a drugs are bad bias it's more just information.  But they do show the consequences of the drug industry and some of that speaks for  itself.   I found the cutting down of majestic trees in SE Asia so ravers can dance is kind of disturbing.  Gonna watch the psychedelics one next.
If you have the chance it's pretty interesting stuff to watch.

Yes. One of a best documentary series about drugs. Very informative and impartial. One thing that I can not understand: how they found dealers, traffickers and others and why did they agree to filming?

First season can be founded in HD on Pirate Bay http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5703269/National_Geographic_Drugs_Inc._2010_HDTV_720p_H264-BeLLBoY(Kingd
Second season  online (episode about hallucinogens coming soon) http://www.tvduck.com/Drugs,-Inc..html

i haven't watched any of the drugs inc. but did watch some of the "drugged:  high on insert drug here" episodes.  i've got a decent amount of respect for nat geo.  they seem to be one of the very few rational, scientific based reality/documentary channels on tv.  they treat things relatively fairly...  definately don't seem to be recieving the DEA grant to spew more anti-drug nonsense.
only other show that presents a good side to the drug war is Weed Wars on discovery.  i hope that show changes alot of minds.
is this reflecting a changing attitude in society?  i hope so.

First season was better, IMO. Second season seems simplified a lot.

If you are already knowledgeable about psychedelics, you might be disappointed in the show.

"The next hit of acid might be the one that kills you..." WTF. There was alot of misinformation.

I love that show, it's actually very informative. Like I enjoyed watching how they make coke and in  Peru they were selling the trash leftovers as a kinda shitty crack.

My thoughts exactly. Anyone see American Underworld? Similar deal, its on Youtube. Lets just hope the FBI doesn't close youtube down too.
