Ketamine Is For Horses
I went out in Bristol to see what drugs were available and being used today, I found that Ketamin was amongst the most common, one of the cheapest and with some of the most intense and scary effects. After finding it's actually intended to be used as a horse tranquilizer, I took ketamin user 'Gruff' to a vetinary surgery to witness what effects a similar amount of Ketamin has on a horse.
I just want to make it very clear that the horse was already scheduled for an operation (to remove a testicle) by the very well-respected Equine surgery who were kind enough to let me film it. The operation procedure was in no way influenced by the pod, the operation was sucessful and the horse made a full recovery.

Ibiza Drug Clampdown
This year 3 of Ibiza's main clubs (Amnesia, Bora Bora and DC-10) were closed down in the opening month of the club season in a bid by authorities to force them to tackle drug-dealing and consumption among clubbers. How effective has this been and how important is drug taking to the Ibiza clubbing experience? Will a serious clampdown effect tourism? How difficult is it for the police to deal with the drug situation and are they understaffed to tackle it?

Tripping in Amsterdam
Saras house is a business in Holland run by Sara Glatt self proclaimed Iboga Mother offering a safe place for natural trips and shamanic drug rituals. Her title, Iboga Mother refers to the drug Ibogaine, which is commonly used in her residence for the treatment of drug addiction.
An Ibogaine trip is compared with a waking dream, in which childhood emories flicker through the mind like movies, but is not the only drug available on the menu. Sara has 5 kids (from 5 to 17), and grows peyote in one greenhouse (her 15 yr old son in charge of two nine-foot Cannabis plants in the other). Although drug addicts seek treatment at Saras house and can often be cured of their addiction, the business also actively promotes the Day Trippers visiting for that alternative holiday in their heads.
Over the course of a week, we follow the progress of regulars and first timers looking to kick their habit, alongside the family developments and a business struggling to survive. People travel from all over the world to see Sara, as she is often seen as their last chance to deal with their addiction, but they often bring baggage into the house in terms of violent behaviour. Within the rural setting of her household, we discover a number of characters, and their personal journeys and stories of addiction, and often abuse. Set in rural Holland, the chaotic household reflects a struggling family business campaigning for the positive effects of natural drugs alongside the jarring imagery of a family business consumed by them. Sara offers a convincing argument for the widespread usage of natural highs, but what sort of example will their own family model portray?
