Drug Land BBC documentry

[Morefiend]

For the first time on British television, drug dealers describe in detail the tricks of their trade; their profits, the risks and the reasons why they deal.

The film unlocks the occult world of 'Dealers' and explodes the myths of drug taking in London.
"It's just like Pizza Hut or Dominoes, 30 minutes guaranteed delivery", says a dealer known as the Ticketman. Another organisation called "Dial-a-Gram" claims to deliver a "customer-focussed service" anywhere in London, "I'll deliver to the top of the London Eye" if you want, says 'Montana'
The programme shatters the common assumption that drug consumption is primarily the endeavour of a wasted and damaged fringe. It also shows how far cocaine is not the play thing of only wealthy celebrities.

Ibiza has a reputation for playing host to the biggest and best clubs and DJ's in the world.
This attracts substantial economic prosperity for the island. A quarter of a million Britons flock there each year, and with them come the drugs and British drug dealers.

This film gives a glimpse into the dark side of Ibiza, one which the authorities would rather was kept quiet. The programme exposes an island that has become a multi-million pound "white paradise" for the many drug dealers who flock to the island to make a living during the summer months.

The film features interviews with the criminals - active dealers, ex-dealers in Ibiza Prison, and substantial undercover filming with dealers at work.
In some bars, Class A drugs like MDMA, cocaine or 'crystal meth' can be bought over the counter as part of the "drinks promotions" offered to holiday punters.
Drugland accompanies the undercover anti-narcotics police as they bust British gangs from Liverpool and Manchester - fighting for turf with other groups of dealers from Spain and beyond.
Paramedics are filmed as they try to cope with those who collapse from exhaustion and dehydration brought on by clubbing and drugs. Some even die during filming - the true cost of the paradise that so many seek here.

One of the charities I "work"(crap ££) for was approached to help with the making of this "show".We refused because it would show drug users in a negative light.

I haven't changed my opinion.


Think of the ramifications for drug users in the UK.

Do you think this sort of thing helps access to treatment?.......It doesn't.


Shows like this are one of the reason treatment comes via the criminal justice system(D.I.P) rather than the health service.

One mans meat is anothers poison.
