Look what happens to nice fellas in the US Navy when they get caught up with "bath salts"!
Mephadrone is its real name, though it was generally sold here as "plant food" when the head shops were selling it. It is a nasty drug and the moment the head shops stopped selling it here it pretty much disappeared as people went back to taking "real" drugs like ecstasy and cocaine. However oddly, in London "meow" as they seem to call it, has remained a popular drug despite being banned there, probably because it remained cheap. I was amazed last summer at how many people in London clubs were taking it. I suspect you'd have trouble giving that crap away here.
Still though, nasty drug or not, this silly Navy "bath salts" PSA would nearly drive you to it!

Darren Aronofsky's brain searing Requiem For A Dream is arguably the most powerful anti-drug film ever. I can't even think about that movie without feeling dirty. And Black Swan might put you off ballet! So getting Aronofsky to direct four short ads about crystal meth addiction was a kind of inspired idea. We are lucky that crystal meth, for whatever reason, never really got a strong foothold in Ireland. It's a particularly nasty drug.

Because he thought he could fly? Or I remember another one that had something to do with the guy thinking he was an orange? I can't remember how that one ended horribly - did he juice himself or something? - but all the scary drug stories our teacher told us ended up with somebody dying horribly. Just say "no" kids!
Well my old school teacher would have loved to have shown us this clip, in which a guy takes a bong hit of salvia (a psychoactive plant used in Mexico, which has become more available in the US) and promptly freaks out and jumps through the window while his girl friend just sits there looking at him.
Don't worry, it appears he's on the ground floor.

They call it wacky dust
It's from a hot cornet
It gives your feet a feeling so breezy
And oh, it's so easy to get
They call it wacky dust
It brings a dancing jag
And once it starts, then only a
Sap'll refuse to Big Apple or Shag
Oh I don't know just why
It gets you so high
Putting a buzz in you heart
You'll do a marathon
You'll wanna go on
Kickin' the ceilin' apart
They call it wacky dust
It's something you can't trust
And in the end the rhythm will stop
When it does, then you'll drop
From happy wacky dust

Ten years ago Portugal had one of the worst drug problems in Europe and a staggering rate of HIV infection. In response they took a risky strategy and decriminalized the use of all drugs in a groundbreaking law in 2000. The results have been dramatic and now other countries are looking to Portugal.
Between 2000 and 2008:
- There were small increases in illicit drug use among adults, but decreases for adolescents and problem users, such as drug addicts and prisoners.
- Drug-related court cases dropped 66 percent.
- Drug-related HIV cases dropped 75 percent. In 2002, 49 percent of people with AIDS were addicts; by 2008 that number fell to 28 percent.
- The number of regular users held steady at less than 3 percent of the population for marijuana and less than 0.3 percent for heroin and cocaine - figures which show decriminalization brought no surge in drug use.
- The number of people treated for drug addiction rose 20 percent from 2001 to 2008.

If you are a cocaine user, the chances are that you are also a user of Levamisole, a cattle de-worming drug. A recent study has shown that 73% of all the cocaine in the US has been cut with it, up from less that 2% in 2005, and it has been cut with it before the drug left South America so you can bet the results would be similar in Ireland.
Levamisole is extremely dangerous and can cause an immune system failure know as "agranulocytosis" which leaves users vulnerable to infections and tissue swelling. Basically, agranulocytosis is a catastrophic crash in a person's immune system, which can turn a zit, a scratch, or even the bacteria that normally live in and around your body into a life-threatening infection.
However, why levamisole is being cut into the cocaine supply is something of a mystery.
"Levamisole is not like other common cutting agents-sugar, baking powder, laxatives, etc.-in three important ways:
1. It's more expensive than other cuts.
2. It makes some customers sick.
3. It's being cut into the cocaine before it hits the United States.
This last mystery is the most puzzling. Typically, smugglers like to move the purest possible product-less volume means less chance of detection-and cut their drugs once they cross into the United States.
So what's the incentive to use a relatively expensive cut of something that makes your customers sick and increases your smuggling risk? Even stranger: The cocaine trade, in both smuggling and production, has fragmented in recent years (more on that in a minute). If there's no central production, how did hundreds and hundreds of independent shops come to use the same unusual cutting agent?"
The Stranger has a three part investigative report looking at how and why Levamisole has entered the cocaine supply.

... but if I were still a student with no ambition beyond lying on the sofa eating chocolate and watching Sponge Bob, I would agree with this girl that the WikiePipe is a very handy gadget.
