    Obligatory public health warning:

    Please note that the NOS in cars is not suitable for human consumption, it contains additives that make it very dangerous. It is also explosive in the wrong circumstances.

    Umm NOS lasts for the best part of like 30 seconds.

    Just google "Shelving"
    :-P

    I'm sure there will be something on erowid or other "enhanced" sites

    Probably NSFW...

    "(Although the tampon thing is terribly bogus, I do know someone who inserted an E anally just to see if you came up faster.)"

    Shelving. Its a common practise amongst some people I know. Apparently its quite dangerous if its a capsule and not a pill, as the capsule will dissolve and then burn the insides, where as a pill will just dissolve.

    Can't say I've ever had the urge. Its an out hole.

    The guy who bought out said "expert" is:

    Peter Devoy
    Detective Inspector
    Crime Services Manager
    Waikato
    peter.devoy@police.govt.nz

    I asked him what constitutes an expert

    Yes Gary is an expert. He has been a 'drug educator' for some 25 years and his programmes have been endorsed by the FBI and DEA. I have spent some time with Gary and talking through the drug situation with him. His appreciation of how drugs (not just P) are affecting society is refreshingly honest and can be seen in my work (and no doubt the work of many of our 'social' agencies)........ I am not sure in what context he mentioned the 'P milkshake' but I have seen other reports which refer to 'strawberry P' where P is flavoured and coloured to add to its 'marketability'. I have just gone into the other site you referred me to and what I see there is what I'm referring to. The fact that people are manufacturing/marketing meth in this way does beg the question as to why? Without going back to Gary's presentation i am not sure how he referred to it, and I certainly wouldn't necessarily rely on the media being accurate! I do recall Gary talking about a Hawaiian P addict of 9 years of age!

    From the sound of it, he still seems to think that strawberry P is around.

    "That part's hilarious. As I understand it, "rolling" is American rave kid slang for the the squidgy, rushy, nice parts of an E experience. Nothing at all to do with Tootsie Rolls."

    Not just american.

    British equivalent is dropping.

    So does no one have an opinion on the cops bringing over drug experts whose presentations are littered with comments such as:

    "Ecstasy goes into the spinal column and cracking the back releases it back into the bloodstream," [Shimabukuro] said.

    Shimabukuro said it takes 20 - 40 seconds to feel the high when ecstasy is taken orally

    "They can give themselves an enema," he said. "They put the liquid form on a tampon and the ecstasy goes directly into the bloodstream."

    "One of the terms they use is 'rolling,'" Shimabukuro said. "They get Tootsie Rolls and let it stay in the sun or melt it until it's soft and pliable then they put ecstasy in the Tootsie Roll and wrap it. Even if they (officials) do cursory searches, they don't find it."

    Or where part of the presentation is based around a well known (and discredited) urban legend?

    "I'd rather not be able to buy heroine at the supermarket than you very much"

    Much better that you pay a gang member for it, for somethign of dubious quality, at an over inflated price eh.

    Much better to criminalise the users, subsidise criminal elements and take money out of the economy.

    Jeremy, One would hope that the NZ public just disount every piece of verbal effluent that comes from Dean, this was the woman who is on record for asking if the EACD planed to classify the Dangerous Drug - Water.

    As a side note, Water has caused significantly more harm to Toddlers than BZP ever has, and ever will. So maybe the reasoning wasn't that dodgy at all :-)

  • Hard News: Those Men Again,

    Please, to everyoen who is against the BZP ban please make a submission, even if its simply a brief one to oppose the ban. either fax it to the select committee or if you want email to me (in word document form) earley.michael@gmail.com

    With
    * your submission
    * your contact details
    * whether you wish to appear in person before the committee

    And I'll make sure this gets to the right place.

    These need to be in TODAY or TOMORROW.

    Also - email Jacqui.Dean@parliament.govt.nz Tell her how you feel about her lack of evidence in any of her drug policy. Tell her how you feel about criminalising NZ's youth. etc

  • Hard News: Not so much evil as stupid ...,

    While the billboards might be ugly, they are on private property, and look a lot better than Glenda "I want to ban billboards, then I'll use them to promote myself" Fryer.

    The whole anti nutbar brethren campaign is pretty disturbing. Imagine what it would be like everyone replaced "brethren" with "jews".... I wonder if it would still be as socially acceptable to wage war against them like this?
