Etizolam has been shown to be effective for more than two weeks for anxiety and epilepsy unlike every other benzo out there that is currently in use, it’s not about whether another benzo will work or not, it’s about tolerance and progression of tolerance. And the fact if used correctly can even produce an “anti-tolerance”. That has huge implications for treating both anxiety and epilepsy, and if you had any knowledge about benzodiazepines Basic pharmacology then you would understand how important that is, I’m glad your family does not have to rely on benzos to treat their epilepsy ect.

The wealthier the country the more they buy and use drugs it seems, maybe because they just simply can afford it. I know many poor countries have high drug usage rates too so maybe its human nature to want something that changes your reality no matter your wealth or lack of

In Fiji they have a local hallucinogenic called Cava (I think this is how it’s spelt) - sorry if it is mentioned in the Vice video, I haven’t watched it yet. This root vegetable gets ground up and drank and it gets you off your rockers. Strangely they don’t rlly need illegal drugs to distort reality over there. My dad is the Assistant Director of Public Prosecution over there and says that drug trafficking (in particular cocaine) is a huge problem… he’s had a few high-profile cases just recently

Realistically the drug problem ain’t really a problem man. TV and every news media makes it look like everyone is doing it when In reality it’s 3/10 people. That’s not a high number. In romania for example where I’m from, everybody drinks alcohol in countryside wether your working or not. Alcohol is a big problem for example but you never see anyone talking about it. Why? Because it’s legal and it gets taxed. Look at the tax for acohol in the U.K., it’s stupid if u ask me. Weed used to be seen as crack, but look at it now. Since couple states made it legal it’s now called a recreating drug and everyone does it but the number is still not high

I think it’s a bit misleading @2:10, the costs of a gram of coke doesn’t magically turned from $8 in Columbia and to $200 once it lands in Australia. There are huge logistics costs from that point A to point B, such as the cost of transportation and I’m sure there are officials to bribe. Those are not cheap… that particular statement made it sound like the guy that sells in Columbia automatically made $192 a gram if he lands his product in Australia. I think because of the logistic costs, that made the dark web very attractive to the medium size drug dealers, because they can cut a lot of that cost way down. The only down side is they can’t transport mass quantities using this method, but look at the guy that created Silk Road, he made so much money without touching the drugs or had to meet with any scary/shady people. I read it somewhere that the government seized almost $1 Billion from the site, im not sure how much of that amount was his, but even if only 1% (I’m sure it had to be more than that), that is still $10 million dollars. The crazy thing is if you know the story of how he got busted, he was just being 5tup*d, the site would still be running and he would still be making bank if he would have just be a tad bit smarter and not let power clouded his judgment.

A recent big case in Fiji involved a husband and wife that tried to smuggle 80 kg of cocaine in on their yacht from Columbia (along with a handgun and a few thousand pills).

@@charliec.3518 it really is when you understand that Fiji follows the UK common law system and its’ sentencing guidelines aren’t like the US where you can received 300+ years in prison for something. I believe you can receive up to 22 years in prison for anything up to 0.5kg. Fiji sentencing guidelines (much like in the UK), say that most individuals won’t receive anywhere near 22 years even for murder. Of course, it’s a mandatory life sentence but parole can be requested after a “minimum set date”. The longest sentence ever issued in Fiji is 30 years for a multiple rape/murder case. So when a serial rapists/murderers sentence mirrors that of a drug smuggler and you realise they’ll likely both be in prison for similar times, it IS a pretty serious sentence. It’s all relative to the judicial system being discussed and the sentencing guidelines in place. For the US? Probably not. For the UK/Fiji - VERY harsh
