Title: CRANK was disapointing
Post by: blu on April 09, 2003, 04:22:47 PM
I watched the new HBO documentary on meth last night and really didn't think they did a very good job of really showing how fucked up the drug was.  I was surprised to learn that it came from Japan and that most soldiers during WWII were given meth as an supliment to their meals.  i bet the show upped the consumption rather than educating people that you really never can break away from the habit.

I broke away from it... Ummm not saying it was easy, but I did.

Now I'm fatter and when I watch someone do it (usually on t.v.) there's a part of me that's like "FUCK, I want some of that"... same with Coke.

Oddly enough, I skipped over the other threads and came directly to this one.

you should watch the show and tell me what you think.  gotta warn you, there is a ton of shooting smoking and snorting in it.

If that's true then congratulations

PBS' Frontline special called Drug Wars was killer. It gave incredible insight into cocaine as an empire and business......from the fields & mfg.  to transportation & the end user. Their power, especially Pablo Escobar and the Ochoa brothers, ruled the country's main export with overwhelming force.

Great documentary even though it's a bit old.
