BBC Should I smoke dope?

[stavros]

I've just watched this tonight and wonder if anyone else did.
Sadly, it looks like the BBC is taking on more of our governments (US) misinformed ideas.
Please one and all, take a look and tell me what you think.
This site does not have video but does cover show times.
Peace to all.

Saw this a while ago over here in the U.K..

Programme is loaded with bullshit presented by a novice to the issue who is seen freaking out after a couple of big hits on a nice in the Original Dampkring coffee shop much to the amusement of staff and patrons, made before the Anti Tobacco Laws kicked in.

There is also a scene where Nicky is injected with THC, which is novel and goes unexplained because THC is only alcohol and fat soluble.

The programme is a stunt, made to promote Nicky as a personality. It fails miserably.
