| Seems that a minority of city people are aspiring to cocaine to enhance their egos and become some superior socialite. To bad if they get addicted, I don’t have time for try-hards. |

the program was okay as far as drugs programs go. the dealer called mitsi or something, what a nob. |

I dont have any experience but I would guess its more than minority.

I think you'll get a lot more of that tonight since it focuses on crack and smack. |
Agreed. |

yeah it is on again tonight.
I hope the bbc will have a less one sided, drug glamourising episode tonight. Pretty irresponsible of them really.
Ok fair enough, dealing drugs isnt rocket science, and yes recreasional use of coke and extacsy, for people who have non - addicitve personalities (i.e a brain cell) isnt gonna pose you any problems whatsoever.
But i am suprised the bbc glamourised (sp?) it all. Especially for impressionable young kids who would have been watching.
I would have liked the bbc to have included (more) accounts from people who have spent considerable time in jail for dealing, lost thier jobs and homelife from drug addiction, being caught up in drug related crime.
Stupid documentary if you ask me. |
i thought it was a realistic documentary with very little media spin. There's was no glamourising at all really.... just an insight into how these people ran their lives. Just because the programme wasn't toeing an anti-drugs line doens't mean it was promoting them... far from it from what i saw.
I respected the way it tried to distance itself from the ethical and moral implications of drugs to provide an unbiased view of that particular drug scene to the general public. Hopefully this represents a step towards more realism in the media... for it's only that way that more effective policies can be debated and brought into force to deal with the wide ranging drug issues within this country.... banging out the drugs are bad message at every opportunity isn't constructive and, in my view, quite destructive.
I hope tonights programme continues to provide the same unspun view. |

Not much to say about tonights programme, apart from it was gritty and realistic, like yesterdays.
This was the "unglamourous" side of drugs, but again, like yesterdays programme, it didn't tell me anything i didn't know.
Tomorrows programme about Ibiza and stuff will probably be the most important episode, as far as we are concerned |

I totally agree.
It was realistic, and a good insight. I just feel the BBC have a responsibility to make these things more one sided (anti - drug sided).
Simply because admitedly while recreational use of some drugs isnt a problem, i feel many people use drugs such as weed and extacsy as steeping stones towards the drugs we saw tonight, and the last thing we want is impressionable people thinking drugs are ok, and that dealing drugs is relativly simple. |

ooh another thing i want to add, with people talking about "gateway" drugs.
Its absolute bull that cannabis is a gateway drug. If you ask me, its the freely available ones like alcohol and nicotine (smoking) that are the gateway drugs. I'm sure most people didn't do weed before they started drinking.
I for one am an example, i only tried weed very recently, and i've been doing other stuff for longer than that. |

I found tonights program rather disturbing.
Where the to these bastards get off coming into this country living off the benefits good hard working citizens provide thru tax, then posining our young with the vile drugs that are crack and smack.
The government needs to take a long hard look at who the they let in to this country. Why the are people allowed to walk in, not bother there arse finding work, take all our tax money and on top of that deal drugs to kids.
Unbelievable. |

yeah thats pretty bad, but its pretty hard to stop people coming into the country.The government is bound to accept asylum seekers by international refugee law, and many of these people lie about theyre asylum status, so as to jump the q and get in quicker.
plus they arent allowed to work as they have to go through an asylum case review, which takes ages, and which is the reason why they are on benefits in the fist place. sometimes these benefits arernt enough for them, and so they turn to drug dealing to support their income. remember theres only a supply where theres a demand, and if you get involved in smack/crack or any of that jazz, then ultimately youve only got yourself to blame. |

I think you need to draw the line between asylum seekers as they would be tagged today and people entering the country back in the 60s and 70s back then .. |

i dont understand what you mean
asylum seekers are asylum seekers. they existed back in 60s and 70s and they exist now. |
