Professor David Nutt: 'Ecstasy is not very harmful'

Professor David Nutt: 'Ecstasy is not very harmful'

Professor David Nutt is one of the UK's leading neuroscientists.

Last year he suggested that LSD, ecstasy and cannabis were less harmful than alcohol and tobacco.

He was promptly sacked as the government's chief adviser on drug abuse. His removal from post raised questions about the use of scientific advice in government.

He talks to Stephen Sackur.

Uh, that interviewer was a moron. I had my face in my palm pretty much every time he asked a question.
 
Bipolar Ukraine Wife selection

I watched the above video and it made me think of a lot of times i've been so ridiculously high that i've said or believed equally as manic things.

It made me wonder if you could take chemicals all the time in secret and just use the term of being bipolar as a guise that you are clean.

I haven't tripped in a while though just struck me as an interesting thought, maybe good way for someone to live a life of being high without all the stigma.

Anyway tis a good watch, check it out! it will make you laugh, cringe and also enjoy the nice ukraine girls.
 
Video of Erowid on CBS Evening News.

This is an older video, so I wasn't sure where to put it. It's a fluff piece, bashing drug sites. The kid on there was basically blaming his overdose on Erowid. All while hiding behind a blurry face. They completely ignore the countless others who have benefited from sites like Erowid and Bluelight to inteview one idiot.

Erowid bad! Lack of knowledge good!
 
The doctor that bashes erowid then goes on to admit that he uses it himself for reference and every doctor and LEO he knows also does. Talk about being hypocritical!
 
At least they made the effort to get the other side of the story, and presented it. I've seen worse :\
 
This is so stupid. I would love to see a ratio of how many lives erowid has saved compared to how many it has hurt because I am 100% sure that erowid would have prevented so many deaths. I hate the news sometimes
 
I would be dead without erowid, it's helped me figure out how to safely use drugs. I would still have used drugs without it, I just would've ODed on them in all likelyness.
 
hey HNIF, thanks for sharin but this dont belong in DC. Ima move it to DITM, in DC alot of ppl make the mistake of postin media or articles about other drug sites which aint our deal in DC , so folks just remember--erowid is related to DC, but this aint erowid. this is bluelight, and just becuz somethin is happenin with erowid or another drug site in the news dont mean it goes in DC--thats why we got drugs in the media, so remember that lil 'rule of thumb' for when u post ish like this, that it should go in DITM. :)
