"Drugged: High on Ecstasy"

Could be the most depressing MDMA/E show ever produced.

The experience is pretty hard to describe even through a hugely produced show from Nat Geo.

But....

I did like the segment about the widow who lost her husband to cancer. They used it to talk out their personal and marriage problems. They found a way with it's empathic quality.

The Brit kids were fun to watch. They took the Shulgin piece from the Prime Time show most of us have already seen.

By comparison, I liked Nat Geo's Taboo "Drugs" episode a lot more.

Well it has a feature with Lynn Marie Smith who is a liar and a complete fraud so I don't think I could watch this documentary without getting angry unfortunately. This girl couldn't possibly squeeze any more money out of her embellished sob story. You took too much ecstasy for a couple months... cry me a river.

it sounds to me like they slightly changed some of the programme for the nat geo channels, compared to what we have viewd here in the uk. there appears to be clearly different examples of accidental deaths that have happened

no wonder im confused...

They did! Does anyone have a link to the US one yet?
 
theres a difference between a junkie OD'ing because they're used to a certain strength or whatever of dope, and some idiot kid who's never rolled before pounding down 10 pills and or drinking obscene amounts of water.

There's no difference at all. Both are victims of their own ignorance.

actually if you listen closely, (i had to rewind a couple times) after she said she saw cholas crushing pills you can hear her say this "then i blacked out and remember snorting coke then blacked out again"

im like really? this show is about 2 fucking retards with to many drugs.

and with the other lady saying she had a bad trip. most of the shit she explained sounds like pranoria. from speed.

this show just failed.

"started snorting more" not coke. The cholos were snorting pills not coke.

Thanks.
 
Were there any good parts to this documentary? I didn't see it, but I've been hoping something non-biased along the lines of Ecstasy Rising would come out again, and allow people who have benefited from MDMA (such as the woman who was raped, tried multiple treatment methods, and used MDMA as a last resort and it was the only thing that worked), actual facts about the drug, and the issue of adulterants being passed off as MDMA.

You can find addicts of literally any drug out there, and if you only interview them, and only cover the death stories- any drug looks horrible and toxic. Based on the responses to this special, it sounds like it mainly focussed on sad stories about MDMA, not about the history or recent news such as PTSD treatment for US soldiers.

I'd say it was straight 50/50. It had a few death/OD stories, but also a few success stories (couple said it was the only thing that saved their relationship/talked about recent use for PTSD). I think that got the message across that it's terrible if not used safetly but not terrible in general. Each horror story they also said how much the person ingested (usually people said they were just "poppin them like candy") and didn't try to make it sound like 1 pill = death or anything like that

While they made it clear those who ran into very serious problems had taken a lot, they didn't really place blame on the user as much as they put blame on the drug. Especially the little asian girl; she's a fucking cunt. They paid her BIG $$ to demonize it as much as possible.

"Uh, I was a little tipsy and I just started popping those pills..."
 
^^^ id just like to stress here, in the uk programme, nobody from the public was paid for there contributions. i no that for a fact

wow.. i didnt feel that way at all. maybe i missed something lol.. 8)

honestly, im surprised at some of the reactions people are having to this documentary lol. it was only an hour long and i felt that it included most of the basic information on mdma - how it chemically effects the body, people who have had positive therapeutic experiences, recreational club users, and people who have had bad experiences. i dont know what you guys were expecting from this show lol..

Cite something stating otherwise. Some of the shit (and I say this only because it is true) coming out of that girl's mouth sounded like someone fed her all the right lines to demonize and scare people who are not well informed on ecstasy.

Lucid, the facts they had were great. Even some of the stories (that kid in the bathrobe is a boss) were good, but I felt like most of the stories were just another scare tactic in the war on drugs.
