The Blue Plague : Inside Scotland's Drug Epidemic
มุมมอง 431K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Scotland is facing the highest number of drug related deaths in its history. In a country of no more than 6 million, last year over 1,300 people lost their lives to drugs. I took to the streets of Glasgow to hear from those worst affected by this crisis.

    Not an addict but took valium for a very good medical reason. When I didn't need it anymore I had to taper for over two years from 10mg and it was brutal. I was bed ridden for two years. benzo withdrawal is considered worse than heroin withdrawal and believe me the withdrawals can ruin a life, just as bad as the addiction. If you need to come off and have been taking them regularly, never ever stop them cold turkey because it can kill you. Not many people were lucky enough to have a medical professional that let me taper over two years and were taken off of them too fast. Many commit suicied because the withdrawals are so bad and will last for years. I was never addicted but my body sure became dependent. It happens after 4 weeks of continual use. Almost every person becomes dependent on them after the 4 weeks, Whether you are an addict or just dependent on them, the withdrawals are the same. I was able to do it, but I have some problems even 7 years later. Be safe people and don't mess with these drugs.

    Long distribution routes as product works its way up the country means high levels of adulteration and higher incentive to ship super-strength research chemicals which are hard to accurately dose and easy to overdose. Prohibition is the main cause of this problem.

    What the guy said about all the drugs being fake is a real problem. It's s all fake Chinese garbage. You don't get the effect. Sure you can say fent is 100 times as strong it's rubbish sure it will kill you 100 times easier but you have zero heroin effect as it's not heroin shocker. So the drug game is up you will ruin your life and not even get high doing so. Just turn into a zombie

    For all the negatives on this comments,as the TH-cam comments only seem to attract a very few genuine comments and a lot of nasty ones I'm going to stand up for these people. I'm quite seriously disabled. I have several degenerate conditions that can put me in need of an ambulance in a blink. If I'm in city and I need help, the person I look for is the guy sitting on the shop doors behind me.. There's always one there. They'll cheerfully rush forward, leaving all their belongings and help me on the steps,carry my frame, reassure my daughter and then fuss and cluck around like a mother hen wondering if there's anything else they can do to help. If I ask you young,strong , straight men they put their heads down and push past me. And women?? Forget it. If you want to know how to clear the isle of a shop? Be a disabled person and drop something onto the floor!! Fire alarms don't clear people that fast! It'll be a little old lady who helps me then. Whatever problems people have, however disturbing and distressing some people can be when they are off their heads, for raw human feeling give me someone down on their uppers anyday. The ones who are alright are just too smug. Well I do it,why can't everyone else. Pull the ladder up Jack I'm alright! I hope sincerely that all these people got the help they needed and allowed themselves to receive it. ❤️❤️❤️

    Sold as "skittles" down south - food colouring on the tablets. I had some tested at a clinic i attend for alcohol, And they had bromazalam in them with Xylazine and weed killer. Had i taken them with a drink, i would have been dead i reckon. The dealers really don't give a toss. Your the Guinea Pig they test them out on.

    Government bringing in the fake drugs. Its just rat poison for vermin because at the end of the day the commoners the slaves the prisoner tax payers are just vermin to the government the elites at that's how its going down. The prescribed drugs meth suboxone the substitutes are worse than the heroine the cure is worse than the disease facts 110 %

    It’s mixing those blues with booze or smack & methadone that can kill you, it all depends on your tolerance though.

    It's the same in Sweden, except the "blue" ones are ksalol, serbian alprazolam. They're flooding the streets. Extremely cheap as well. And of course they don't always contain only alprazolam.

    The main reason this will never stop is because the doctors wont stop dishing out poison to 'help them' the pharmaceutical industry are the biggest drug dealers in the world and the worst about it is= its all totally fucking legal. Never judge anyone until you know the story.

    The most idiotic decision every made too suddenly change track on diazapan, people had been put on it 20 or 30 years ago by NHS, then as a knee jerk reaction to the opiode crisis in USA many UK doctors decided to stop it over night, I was terribly ill total hallucinations and massive weight loss and no sleep for 11 days, I ended up in hospital, the physiatrist was amazed they had just stopped my medication after so many years but as he said he is constantly seeing people taken off diazapan with little or no taper off time, he told me to go straight to my doctor and insist this was done over a prolonged period otherwise I may suffer severe problems from strokes to even death, I went to my doctor who said they don't do that in their surgery and refused, I have read the guidelines by the national institute clinical excellence and they fully explain that while new to people for diazapan should only be on it for a few weeks, people who have been prescribed it for decades should have a very slow withdrawal as it will have actually changed the chemical make up in the brain, so rather than suffer these horrendous withdrawal symptoms I have had to get from elsewhere and try to cut down myself, what an absolute mess by the NHS, they prescribed the tablets then left people to suffer rather than use a rational slow withdrawal process, it truly is criminal lack of care and basic knowledge and treatment, and don't forget these tablets cost pennies it's just a crusade by the ill informed doctors who cannot be arsed to actually read the advice given to them
