Le Stu Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just saw the new one on Crystal Meth. Fucking hell...o_O hope we don't get that shit here. Scotland a prime candidate if ever I saw one, what with all the fucking super depressed white people. Anyway, a bit tough to watch but one of the best documentaries I've seen of his.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 It was an excellent, if depressing watch. I thoroughly recommend that if folk have missed it, watch it on the BBC iplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Louis Theroux is awesome. He totally asks the right questions.I cannot believe that the police wouldn't report the house with the kids in it to social services because there was food in the fridge!! Just mental.

Luke1976 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah. He didnt take the piss out of them in this one cos of the more serious content. I was hoping at some stage he was gonna visit a house where they made it. One of the peoplle he visited said they go a bit mental from inhaling their cooking products.

TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Newsflash to OP, this drug is already available in Scotland.Yeah it was a harrowing programme, but as usual, brilliantly made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Newsflash to OP, this drug is already available in Scotland.You sure it's meth? It wouldn't surprise me as you can cook it from ephedrine and readily available chemicals, but what we call speed is amphetamine sulphate which is what our tweaky friends here are usually sniffing.EDIT: Ahhhh, we do have it now:BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | North East/N Isles | Four years for crystal meth makerMakes sense, Forres is the the Fresno of Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 It is apparently a growing problem in aberdeen too...strange, meth draws comparisons to crack for me, cheap to make, cheap to sell, nasty as fuck and addictive as hell. Crack's been around for a lot longer though and I wasn't aware of any crack situation of aberdeen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 It is apparently a growing problem in aberdeen too...strange, meth draws comparisons to crack for me, cheap to make, cheap to sell, nasty as fuck and addictive as hell. Crack's been around for a lot longer though and I wasn't aware of any crack situation of aberdeen?Crack is definitely nocking about Aberdeen but apparently it's pretty pricey. As for meth, I've heard it's available but even a lot of hardened drug takers here steer clear of it due to its cerebral effects. We need an ab-music resident junkie to sort out these kinds of matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The scary thing about meth is just how easily obtainable the ingredients are, compared to crack which requires cocaine which has to be smuggled in from South America.

Lemonade Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 There's definitely crack in Aberdeen and plenty of it, I've heard a lot of tales of crack users and dealers. I've never heard of meth being up here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skacel Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The bit that got me was the 2 little kids hanging around when their dad and his mates were getting high wtf kind of environment is that for kids to grow up in, their lives are pretty much fucked before they've even begun.

Paulscoconutass Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The film Spun is all about Crystal Meths if I remember correctly... nasty shitI absolutely love Louis Theroux and think he's been one of the most watchable people on television in the last 5 years. My only bother is that they must give some of the people filmed a cash incentive (or something similar) to get them to speak so openly about illegal things on film... wouldn't take a genius to figure out what most of the people on last night's show would have spent their money on.The wrestling episode's one of my favourites.

Alphas Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The wrestling episode's one of my favourites.That show was ace, I felt really sorry for him when they were trying to humiliate him at the training centre and pushed him so far he ended up puking.Was a good documentary last night, a real eye opener. Reminded me of the one he did where he followed the Philidelphia (I think) police department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I liked his Weird Weekend series a lot, particularly the ones on survivalists and the Chatsworth porn industry.One thing that I've never liked about his shows though is the priggish, judgy way he presents himself. I suppose it's to throw American people off by playing on English sterotypes, when he really is totally open and fearless, but I've always found it a bit uncomfortable and tiring. I didn't get any of that from this latest programme, thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMotivator Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I watched it last night as well... the scary thing is how the addicts seem to have poor dental hygene.It was almost as disturbing as the one he did a few years ago on racism.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 dont know if you're kidding or not but smoking crystal meth is pretty notorious for causing very rapid gum/tooth root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I wonder if it's the same thing as when you're eating a bag of sweets then you clean your teeth, then hesitate about having another sweet afterwards coz then you'd have to brush your teeth again... 'I really shouldn't smoke this bowl, I've just cleaned my teeth...oh go on then' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
