The Drug Culture Video/Documentary Thread

I'm sorry to revive an old thread, or an old-ish thread, but I just finished watching a documentary on heroin that, for the first time ever, has actually moved me and choked me up a bit. I think that this documentary does a real good job, an excellent job, even, going beyond most (but not all) of the rhetoric and painting a very accurate and very scary picture of what the dope scene/pill scene looks like here in New England. That being said, it is about the scene on the east coast and New England in particular, so I'm not entirely sure how universally relate-able it may be. It's probably worth watching anyway, though. Let me know what you guys think.

It's called "Gateway to Heroin" by Vanguard: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjfjt0_vanguard-gateway-to-heroin-s05-e01_shortfilms

EDIT: And you know, I think that what this documentary does really, really well is make the statement that the kids aren't all right. I think it's going to take us a few more years before we can begin to put the pieces together and make sense of heroin's sudden rise in popularity, but I imagine that it has something to do with a bit of everything -- more powerful narcotic pain relievers setting the state in the 90s, an unasked for war, rampant unemployment. I feel like we were all promised something special and then let down, hard. It's as though no one feels all that great with where they are right now, and everyone is looking to escape for just a second.

Trainspotting the movie is great but the book is even better. The book is definatly the best portratyal of the attitude and feelings a dope addiction brings to the surface.

I also saw this hour-long Vanguard: Gateway to Heroin documentary and it was definitely moving, and choked me up as well at certain points. I agree with Verso's description of the documentary and I feel pretty much the same way.

In the Vanguard documentary, they mentioned a movie called Oxy Morons about some Boston-area dealers of Oxycontin who robbed pharmacies and such. The man who the movie is about wrote, directed and starred as himself in the movie so it's very non-fictional in the regard that it tells the story of this man's life at the time. It looked good, I haven't seen it but I may look into it.

Also, as someone stated before, The Basketball Diaries is just an excellent film.
 
Telling the story of my arrest - a must-see video! Very interesting!

This is a pretty cool story about when I was arrested last year for possession of marijuana. Even if you don't play CoD, you might enjoy the story, so give it a chance! Thanks guys I appreciate anyone watching this<3. If it's in the wrong section please move it!

The Drug Culture Video Vault

Hello Everyone,

Due to a recent influx of video link's in Drug Culture, I've decided to make a thread specifically for that purpose.

So please, any video's relating to drug culture, funny, serious, bizzare or somewhere in between, post away. I will leave previous video post's alone (unless those who posted video's recently wish to have them placed here) but future ones not placed in this thread will most likely be merged here.

Please do not post anything that can be incriminating, or pertaining to drug synthesis . For instance, DO NOT post video's containing the production of drugs (even if it is not you producing them, thing's like "how to cook meth" or "cool new way to make krokodil!" are not allowed), also no video's of yourself doing drugs, or video's of the drugs you currently may be in possesion of, and last but not least, please no pornography, keep it DC-related.

Goofy video's of yourself, or other's intoxicated is fine, just dont show yourselves actively shooting up or smoking crack, or consuming any other illegal drugs. New's footage or documentary segment's that display graphic drug use is okay, and if for some reason you happen to be in one of these video's than it would probably be smart not to mention "that's me!'

Anyway kids, be safe, and have fun.

What drug do you think Patti Smith is high on here?

Patti Smith (and Richard Sohl) are surely high when doing this interview. Me and some friends are debating which drug she might have taken but can't agree on any specific drug.

Anyone who thinks they know?

Louis Theroux: The City Addicted to Crystal Meth

So I'm watching this and there's something really bugging me:

There are people on here giving what I assume to be their real names, letting there images be recorded on camera and bragging about dealing/taking meth, stealing stuff etc without batting an eyelid.

I'm fully familiar with the overconfidence that stimulants bring and I'm guessing meth incredibly so (I've never had the opportunity to take it), but surely these people will have had some apprehension that the authorities could watch this documentary when it was released in England and mop them up no trouble?

Is it possible they were not fully told what was going on? Although that doesn't seem likely watching the footage he states his intent quite frequently.

I'm a little confused! Anyone got any input? :?

A last thought: they were paid to participate?
 
I'll comment later since I just looked it up and am watching it. Here is a link to the video for those of you interested.
 
I haven't seen the video, but maybe I'll check it out later.

If that's the case, that they're giving out their real names, then I'm very surprised -- shocked, even. I can't imagine how anyone could ever think that's okay...
 
Meth is fucking all over the West Coast... it's probably the most used drug behind weed. Some people don't even know that they do it lmao


From what I've seen these people don't even know how to smoke though.. completely burning the shit out of that pipe, the flame is supposed to be like an inch or two away from the bowl shieeettt

I noticed that too, I think that the whole thing is fake. Most people in there didn't act like they were on meth.
 
Being in England I've never actually even seen someone on meth. Anyone else get the feeling they're faking it/ Any more input on why BigFan? He's done a whole string of these with white supremacists and such if no one's heard of him.

Can't seem to find any other discussion online of the legitimacy of it, but I reckon if anywhere's going to know what people on drugs look like bl is a good place to start =D
 
I don't know... a lot of it does seem fake but not really ALL of it... you can tell some of those people are frequent meth users just by how they move really..


Not to mention they have that meth user look... like they've had their soul drained....



but yeah, some of it looks staged
