Here’s an episode of National Geographic’s Drugs, Inc. documenting the cocaine trade from user, to trafficker, to supplier to producer. It’s infinitely interesting and you should reserve 45 minutes of your day to watch it without interruption.

The Dangerous Drugs—Identification Kit contains harmless facsimiles of the more commonly abused dangerous drugs. The Kit was designed to be used primarily as an instructional aid in educational and training programs directed toward combating the existing narcotics and dangerous drugs problem. It consists of a plastic container which is transparent and durable. Plainly visible within the container are facsimiles of amphetamines and barbituates, reproduced with exacting fidelity in terms of color, size, shape, and other distinguising characteristics.

Here’s a pretty entertainingly disturbing video of a couple smoking on Salvia and having way too much fun while doing it. And when I say too much fun, I mean the guy jumped out of the freaking window, while the woman made odd moaning noses on the couch. You can’t blame the girl for not doing much, she was probably held hostage in a 5th dimension of fractal particles and geometric shapes. Can we legalize marijuana already?

Here’s a pretty disturbing video showcasing the glamor associated with Meth….notice the sarcasm in the tone of my typing. I also attached the story of an ex-user experience with the drug which your should definitely stay way clear of, even if that means dropping your so-called friends who invite you to kick it up a notch during the weekend festivities.

I spent two years addicted to meth. I broke the addiction cold turkey. It was fucking horrible, I was seeing shards and pipes EVERYWHERE (hallucinating).

I was never as bad as the video, but I was about four months away from that. I had lost so much weight that the callouses on my hand would shift when I gripped the steering wheel. I lost so much weight that when I bent down, my belt buckle would jab me under the ribs, painfully. One time when I came down from a tweakend, I slept for 30 hours straight.

It killed my best friend, twice. We had been friends for eight years when he robbed me, and then two years after that he killed himself (accidentally).

My wake up moment was when I took a look at my surroundings. I was in a trailer with five guys, none of us had taken a bath in five days, it was 3 in the morning. One of them had a crater on his forehead, where he’d been picking at a zit (and picking and picking and picking…), another was telling me about how he sucked dick in jail, and just… I knew I didn’t belong there. I left. I never went back to that life. The withdrawal was cruel, and I didn’t have a friend in the world anymore (when you’re a tweaker, all your friends are tweakers too… funny how that works out).

There are things you lose, that you can never get back, when you suffer from an addiction. I can’t remember the last time I was happy. I can find amusement in life, but it’s no replacement for -joy-.

Edit: I should clarify. I used meth for five years. For two of them, it was the only drug I was on. The only time that I wasn’t using was when I was asleep, or at work, and I would only sleep two days out of the week. I made enough money, and it was cheap enough, that I was never without.

The guy who robbed me wasn’t the friend I grew up with. He wasn’t my high school friend who came to hang out with me from 2am to 6am one night when I was feeling depressed. He wasn’t the same guy that helped me spend time with my first high school love. He wasn’t the same, awesome, best friend that I knew. Meth killed that friend of mine. Turned him into a scumbag that broke into my house while I was at work, and stole my computer and a big jar of loose change.

Two years after he robbed me, he accidentally hung himself (auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong). I had suspected him of the theft, but had confirmation after his death through a mutual friend. He bragged about how he stole from me.

Here’s a pretty informative video of some guy recalling a particular night when he accidentally took 30 hits of acid in one shot and as he so poignantly puts it, “I was high as fuck!”

As part of a test conducted by the US government in the 1950s, an artist was subjected to a dose of psychotomimetic drug LSD-25 and given free access to an activity box full of crayons and pencils. What follows is a series of 9 drawings the artist made at varying stages of his trip.

That’s why I only stick to huffing glue and white-out. But on a serious note, why the fuck would you take LSD before getting on a plane?The most terrifying thing I can imagine is being on LSD trapped in a sealed tube hurtling through the air at 600 mph with 300 strangers, no privacy, the hum of turbines, and with the unwavering fear that the plane can go down at any time.

And Lawrence Taylor would like to put his two cents in on this….

After watching countless videos on Youtube of people smoking Salvia, I’ve come to one conclusion…Salvia is a hell of a drug and it’s LEGAL. Here are 7 best of the worst Salvia trips ever filmed.
