WHY BRITAIN LOVES DRUGS

http://www.mixmag.net/features/why-britain-loves-drugs

 

As this year’s results from the Global Drug Survey show, British clubbers are twice as likely to have taken MDMA and cocaine than the average global clubber. They are three times more likely to take poppers, five times more likely to have used ketamine and nitrous oxide and 12 times more likely to have used mephedrone.

And it’s not just clubbers, everyone’s at it. Britain sits alongside some South American countries, Spain and the United States as one of the biggest per-head cocaine consumers on the planet. As the CIA’s briefing on the UK’s drug profile puts it: "Britain is a major consumer of south-west Asian heroin, Latin American cocaine, and synthetic drugs."

So why are we a country so obsessed with getting out of it? Well, Britain is a perfect storm of intoxication, a cocktail of cultural and geographical factors that make us one of the world’s most voracious drug gobblers.

First of all there is this northern European thing. Booze has always provided sanctuary for people living in cold, wet, gloomy climates such as Ireland, Scandinavia, Russia and Britain. As a result the region has a proud and historical culture of getting trashed.

"Now, to most of the hundreds of thousands of Brits who use them, taking drugs does not herald a rite of passage, an act of wild abandon, a surrender to peer pressure or a sign of broken innocence, it’s another form of consumption, no less self-indulgent or meaningful than going to a restaurant, going to the cinema or shopping for clothes."

This is it

Very interesting

Sasha Shulgin, "Godfather of Ecstasy," Dead at 88

 

aa5yl7leeysbgtmicypq.jpg12Expand

Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, pioneer, pharmacologist, author, and medicinal chemist, passed away this evening at the age of 88. He is best known for introducing MDMA, the purest form of ecstasy, to psychologists in the 70s.

Shulgin published the popular TiHkal (Tryptamines I Have Known And Loved) and PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved) with his wife, Ann. Shulgin was formerly a chemist for The Dow Chemical Company before he moved on in 1965 to pursue his own research, which he performed at his house in Berkeley, California.

He is credited with having sampled and synthesized over 200 psychedelic drug compounds. Shulgin had suffered a stroke when he turned 85, and an organization had been set up to help to cover health costs.

A great interview with Shulgin entitled "The Last Interview With Alexander Shulgin" by Hamilton Morris was published at VICE in 2010.

According to the Erowid Center, Shulgin "died peacefully surrounded by friends and family."
