BBC to break drugs taboo
A film scheduled to be broadcast in the next few months and on the eve the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith will announce her decision to re-criminalise cannabis as a 'class B' drug will show acclaimed journalist Nicky Taylor smoking cannabis and being injected with THC at a King`s College laboratory. The last such film (a Panorama episode featuring a journalist taking LSD) went unscreened for thirty years.

Nicky Taylor is well known for her hands-on approach to her assignments- for example ingesting binge levels of alcohol during the course of a programme investigating Britain`s binge culture.

It has been revealed that her next feature will cover cannabis consumption and its screening will coincide with the announcement of cannabis` reclassification as a 'class B' drug following its downgrading under Blair`s reign in 2001.

During the course of the programme, she will be shown being injected at a laboratory of King`s College, London, with a THC extract. A source cited by The Telegraph, who`s said to have seen the footage, is quoted as saying that "the effect was dramatic. It was unpleasant."

The tone of the program is unknown, but it was said by a BBC spokesman to "unequivocally highlight the risks of consuming the drug and will be scheduled post-watershed."

The film will air on BBC3 and an international audience will be able to view it on the same evening it airs via the BBCi Player.

How many folks do you know that inject THC? Sorry to hear the Great Britain is going backwards with their drug policy.

Mom: "You see? They injected her with marijuana and she went psychotic! That's why I'll ground you permanently if I ever catch you smoking marijuana."
Son: "If they dropped a watermelon on your head from a thousand feet, it would kill you. That's why, if I ever catch you eating watermelon, I'll have you locked up for attempted suicide."

I wonder if this programme will lead to a wave of experimentation with injectable THC in England. Interesting that her alcohol report involved drinking, not injecting, alcohol...probably because it could kill her.

Every cloud has... Injecting thc must be similar to taking Marinol, which this article points out is not pleasant. Isn't that what we have been saying all along. VV

Coming from England before I knew of the cannabis culture in ANY country and now knowing about it quite well, this makes me sick. I've never even HEARD of anyone injecting THC into themselves so i think this is just going to exacerbate problems making cannabis look 'hardcore' leading kids into wanting to inject it for a laugh and see.

For some reason I cannot find it right now, but we had a big thread on a member that made his own tincture and injected himself. It was strictly experimental based, but it brought up a lot of controversy.

I'm actually very interested about injecting THC, I would definitely like to know the effects. I've heard if you injected all the chemicals in one cigarettes you would die. This is just more evidence marijuana is safer, assuming it's true.

I think the idea of injecting crude alcohol plant extracts into your veins is simply bat-shit crazy. I guess life's cheap to some people.

People who are supposed to be helping us out doing things such as this could give people extra ideas to inject many things that will actually kill them...
