Drugs Capital - China

[ChibiStalkerChan]

All true, you know I just went there this summer 8D because my relatives live there, they shouldn't have opened the borders, because of Burma Yunnan has been hindered in development because of Burma.

I could sub the Chinese...

[europhiCc]

[ELECTRICPORT]

[DyeTyme]

[bloodcancerdetect]

[0ct0ct09]

Wow. This clip is from 1995. I wonder if things have changed. This is nothing new. We have these problems in the west for years.

[heatherlamont]

im glad it keeps u out of pubs 42 yr od stoner man, but you'll never be who you could have been, who you SHOULD have been and witnessed all the beauty you could have seen ,ok Ill get off my self righteous soap box now.

Im a recovering addict myself, n not just from weed either, so I'm not coming at you from a place of ignorance. PS it's never too late :)

[biggsleezy]

Is this video for the chinsese hearing audience or the english hearing audience?, because there no subtitles or translators

[yangyang2000]

@biggsleezy it's for ppl like me who know both =P

[Mineav]

What the fuck? Where's the translations? Not everyone speaks Chinese--especially people in the 'West', which appears to be the target audience of this report. What the hell were they thinking?

[ScotteDio]

Over a billion chinese & a couple junky chinese die off would the World great.

[lastmondaypast1]

heroin is a hell of a drug. nobody should try it. ever.

[alexworksfromhome99]

have you ever been to china? on weeed?

[hxasmirl]

so what? let them have it

[bbjagaa]

2:03 you and i you know....

[P1nsta]

good thing i understandd this lol

[kr00ked]

wtf is this made for chinesee ppl

[Spike00513z]

FUCK THE BRITISH

[badsign1980]

in 1920 there where 200 million opium adicts in china because of the opium wars and english influence, lets just say that opium build the uk, nothing else but india and opium fueled the english empire nothing else

[MsPontiff]

@badsign1980 I am glad my friend that you one of the few people who actually know the history of drugs in China. You are absolutely right, the opium war is a clear manisfestation of the double standards of the west. Opium came to China with the British and fuelled their growth. Even the annexing of Hong Kong to Britain in the Nanjing treaty was as a result of the opium war.

[HumanRightsVideosTib]

China introduced Opium in Tibet too. What a joke they want to free us, within they imported so called "Chinese sickness " syphilis.

[PcaKestheaod]

Why aren't there any subtitles?

[themodelcitizen2]

Love these Journeyman Pictures programs but some subtitles when people are speaking Chinese/Arabic/not English would be useful

[zigzigerblat]

@iamisrael777 Plenty of Christians are starving and dying of drug addiction and aids too. Too bad he accidentally punished them by mistake. If god is so powerful, help us in THIS life AND the next.

[crispin007]

You don't need subtitles to understand what the customs boss is saying, its written all over his face 'I get big bribe money, me like big money, me happy man, me see no drugs'

[stukadiving]

WHERE FUCK ARE SUBTITRES I NO REAN TO SPEAK CHINEE!

[regionfree1]

If Crack hits China with a BILLION PEOPLE WATCH OUT!!!

[RAYZE1ER]

I would make sure to only have 49. gram's and hope there scale's were on point.

[hangin2theright9]

frog eyed bitch, we need subtitles!

[mikeish4]

WE NEED SUBTITLES OTHERWISE WE CAN SAY ANYTHING

[hilololomoa]

Thai heroin is the best.XD

[TickleMehNancy]

This is ridiculous that these videos don't have subtitles or tell you what the fuck they're saying.

[moviesforrandy]

been shooting herion for 50 years and still alive? so what is badabout it? DONT SHARE NEEDLES

[christo930]

The US does the same thing. You get caught with drugs, you go to jail where you detox cold turkey and get no treatment for addiction. The UK does the same thing and so does most of the rest of the world. The only difference is that China calls it a detox and we call it jail. Same thing though.

[zigzigerblat]

@christo930 But in China they get 3-6 months which is enough to fully detox and they get to do tai chi from a kick ass master no doubt.  In the US they just make people suffer for 7-10 days needlessly then let them out on the street to get a fix.

[christo930]

@zigzigerblat What we all should do is put the people in professional drug treatment programs. It's more effective and cheaper to treat the drug addiction than to keep locking them up for petty crimes and drug crimes.

[zigzigerblat]

@christo930 Exactly! I have a person that I care about who is a heroin addict. She has been effectively tortured and that makes the addiction permanently stronger. They need to be properly titrated off addictive substances in order to prevent permanent damage and worsening of the addiction. The fact that only people who care about an individual know this info shows that the government and society does not care about them.

[christo930]

@zigzigerblat We are stuck on this idea that drug addiction is a moral problem and not a medical problem. Effective treatment is available, especially for heroin addiction (and by extension, all other opiates) with methadone maintenance and methadone or suboxone titration detox programs. There is no excuse. Not only is it far more humane, but it is far cheaper in the long run.

[zigzigerblat]

@christo930 Yes, sadly governments and politicians like to cause suffering in the name of being tough on this or that. There is a lack of empathy in our politics and a tendency toward scapegoating drug addicts, races, classes and anyone else who is not mainstream.

[xsniper318]

This could've been a good documentary about herion use in China.....instead, it was a video clip of a white female reporter, with a few tidbits of usable information, and thirteen minutes of untranslated Chinese language. It sounded the back room of any Chinese carry-out.....ming, fing, ping, schwing, poo poo, fart............thanks for nothing.

[pongqi]

where the fuck is the translation

[tpvalley]

she said "fuck me its a shit laugh"

[dooky1967]

i'm 42, and i love weed. it keeps me out of the pubs, sex is better on weed, and it relaxes me, no end

[gasigaspa]

@dooky1967

agreeeed

[vspec2wrx]

@dooky1967 Your not an addict.

[Dalmatinac3]

@dooky1967

yah it also kills your braincells and makes you give no shit about your kids and makes you have no patience and you develop some sort of ADD Disorder where you can't concentrate and have intellectual conversations with people.

[dooky1967]

@Dalmatinac3 and?

[MrOpiated]

I love how people, sorry i mean KIDS, who smoke weed love to tell you how its not a drug and is not harmful. Just because you are a user does not make it anymore acceptable. And I am a former heavy user and heavy supplier of marijuana so this is not coming from someone who has no experience with the substance. I have seen more marijuana and sold more than any of you kids trying to tell us your immature take on the drug. Do not underestimate it. Overconsumption of anything is not good. Be safe.

[gbbbys]

entertaining and educational .thanks for posting

[clarencejenkinsIII]

Are we supposed to guess? How about a translator?? This goddamn video is half-filled with Chinese people rambling....what a waste of time.

[73mandala]

what about subtitles when officials talk we don't know what he's saying,poorly put together

[bigtarrose]

Thanks again journeymanpictures, amazing videos from around the world!

[ruudjuh16]

drugs capital is holland ur allowed to buy weed and hasj there

[AdambombNukes]

Weed might be legalized here in 2012.

[dackjaniels555]

Cannabis is not a drug you fucking dunce.

[knutm]

You are legend! Go have a look in a dictioanry for definitions of drugs and cannabis and please revise your statement.

[dackjaniels555]

Sorry, I'm not stupid enough to call an entire plant species "Huur Duurr Druwgzzz".

IMO, You can't call something a drug until it has been chemically changed or thoroughly purified.

The pharmaceutical company's can't patent anything unless it meets either one of those criteria usually it HAS to be chemically unique to warrant a patent.

If cannabis is a drug, Then so is beef stew.

In short, You're A Fucking Moron.

[dackjaniels555]

Marinol is a drug, Cannabis is a plant.

[RyLeeKing]

i dunno about beef stew, not a fan haha. LMFAO. but i'll smoke me some herb.

[rudidower]

cannabis is a herbal plant which has an effect on the mind and body therefore it is a drug. Never mind your patents, that might apply to pharmaceuticals but to the common man cannabis is a drug. If you broke a bud off a plant and put it in your pocket would you say that you had drug/s on you ? if YOU wouldn't the police and every other fucker would. I know what your saying about cannabis being the name of a plant species but come on you don't need to be so pedantic about it

[myownservant]

we're talking about heroin being used by a large amount of people, not some silly softdrugs that you can legally buy small quantities of...

[clef05]

subtitles needed

[Ruttit]

well said

[siaisjack]

the only way to fight drugs is to legalise them and sell them from official shops were quolity is garanted

[ohxsea80]

exactly. look at the prohibition. and many of the drugs in this "war" aren't even as bad as alcohol. heroin doesn't cause car crashes or contribute in almost every form of rape (date, forcible, gang...) i guess you'll end up like an emotionless zombie just going through the motions of everyday life. but so is most of our country addict or not.

[TheLarbacmc]

totally agree

should be worldwide

[Caretika]

Yup.

[enemaire]

hmmmm opium...

[danos1997]

stfu hosea stop copying and pasting shit u didn't even write

[pzgdr]

[Hosea22]

Many natural substances such as beers, wines, and some mushrooms, blur the line between food and drugs, as when ingested they affect the functioning of both mind and body.

[adamalden]

Genius!

[Hosea22]

Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous biochemicals by being introduced from outside the organism. For example, insulin is a hormone that is synthesized in the body; it is called a hormone when it is synthesized by the pancreas inside the body, but if it is introduced into the body from outside, it is called a drug.

[Hosea22]

Recreational drugs are chemical substances that affect the central nervous system, such as opioids or hallucinogens. They may be used for perceived beneficial effects on perception, consciousness, personality, and behavior. Some drugs can cause addiction and habituation.

[Hosea22]

In pharmacology, a drug is defined as "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being." Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.

[Hosea22]

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.

[dcbrent01]

yeh cuz i can understand chinese... :(

subtitles please

[unytcommsys]

Make sure I got this right. you go to a dance hall (night club) you dance, see a bunch of women model, and then you get to pay them to dance or fuck you? Correct me if I got that wrong?

[unytcommsys]

Subtitles via youtube plz. Or re post the the video. thank you.

[archangel11b]

ha shi yoga? wtf is that guy saying?

[athos4206]

You obviously have NO concept of what that shit does to people.. I have sold cocaine for over 6 years now, mostly crack. I have had customers that have been in university, spent all their student loans and dropped out... these are intelligent people. It has nothing to do with knowing the risks. If you try it once, you're fucked. But don't be so fucking ignorant as to say there is no excuse, alot of these people are in bad situations.

[Islamequalsdeath]

Get a job and a life you looser.

You don't need brains to be a dealer, but you do need to be a scum bag, so I guess you fit in well lego head lmao.

[unytcommsys]

Drugs can be profitable if sold in the right environment. You do need brains to be a successful criminal. You have to organize employees, build a defense network, negotiate treaties,etc. All the while knowing you can get a bullet in the head or die everyday. If you chose the life you must have foresight.

[tpvalley]

to sell coke is to peddle death, profit from misery, however, not much different to a pub land lord, but coke is a shit drug, for greedy arrogant people who think the sun shines out of their own arse holes.

[mahound9]

Okay, is it just me, or does the soundtrack for all of Journeyman's videos gradually get out of sync with the video? It could just be something with my machine, I don't know. Look carefully.

[scotttblisss]

wish i spoke chinerzz

[jerryk2198]

this story might as well be in chinese if theyre not gonna use subtitles, i really wanted to know wat those gooks had to say.

[markdcarter]

Google: "Dope, Inc." This free online book provides the real history of the global drug trade!

[bigstorm57]

I think that Journeyman has some of the best documenteries on the tube, surprised to see this one without sub titles, oh well!

[andy7666]

I do wish that Journeyman would sort out some subtitles.. Great videos though.

[Unitysam]

Opium was in fact widely used in China before the British arrived, mostly by the rich and privileged. The British were only able to flood the market with cheap opium because the demand and practice was already there. No defence of the Brits but they did not introduce opium to China or Southeast Asia

[Eldritchard]

I knew it had been used long before the brits arrived but we(the Brits) actually forced China to buy it at one point, The Chinese Emperor wanted Opium banned but the British forced them to keep buying it. No Bull

[ryax19]

thats how the english took them over without firing a single shot. The Opium Wars. Go back to skewl

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

@Eldritchard oh, really...ya mean back in the day the queen of england wuz the biggest drug pusher in the world?

[abombinol]

@Eldritchard The Opium Wars

[wangb13]

lie, they very well did

[jan1035]

You're right about the fact they didn't introduce it but they did break open the market with two opium wars, when the chinese emperor wanted to forbid it

[Palfium66]

Indeed, but if you actually read any correspondence from the period you will find that the Chinese ban on opium had a lot more to do with enabling a corrupt mandarin class to extract massive bribes from the opium traders.

The Second Opium War ended the ILLEGAL opium trade, & its huge profits. Suddenly its no surprise that the USA, [who were the 2nd biggest opium traders in China], enacted their own prohibition regime less than 30yrs later.

The War on Drugs subsidises organised crime, & must end

[Unitysam]

anything over 30 grams is automatic death sentence. don'tknow about lesser quantities

[wangb13]

lol in Singapore it's about 12 gram

[korgkiller]

hey i'm doing research please can someone tell me the likely scentence for first time posession of heroin or opium in modern day china, just enough to smoke not to deal. thanks.

[matthewb1976]

7:20 to 7:40 it on the video,

[Kincheyfinch]

may have been whitey shipping it in but its the arabs growing it and sending it all around the fucking world so don't blame the white people blame the damn dirty arabs

艾滋病是世界上的问题。我觉得同性恋和阿州得负责任。不吸毒品不­随便做爱会避免这个问题艾滋病到处都有。

[allostericcortiso]

Drug capital China?? Is this another bullshit propaganda vedio against china?? FUCK! Look into thy fucking mirror, you will see it is white devils like you who brought opium in 1847and HIV in 1987to China!!! If you still so called conscience, instead of teasing spamming China,do some thing meaningful to help those people who still suffer because of evil seeds planted by your ancestors!!!

[abaccan]

hello, why don't you accept the fact that china is the HIV capital in the world lolz. Don't be blatant, i think u've just shown how uncivilized you are.

[AmericanDreamer1]

Bombay is the AIDS capital of the world, with the rest of India (especially Kolkatta) close behind.

[allostericcortiso]

civilized animal like you went to other people's country robbing, selling drugs.civilized animal in the name of human rights go to Iraq robbing oils,made more than 200 000 iraqis civilian died,when you can't handle those "terrorists" you tortured and beaten up those armless iraqi POW and teenagers. You guys are good for nothing but spreading wars and diseases! the industrial revolutions you started,lead to nowdays' gobal warming. above all, You are the CANCER of this planet!

[abaccan]

allostericotiso,be civilized man,just calm,don't be blatant.a civilized person speak calmly and tackfully.youre such kinda furious human being.don't be stupid okay

[MetalHead1492]

I have to agree. also i think that Africa is the HIV capital of the world. thats where they say it came from.

[19996669991]

6 months rattling in a chinese detox centre!!! Fuck that.

[bangoopong]

howcome this video is not translated.  what the

[eleusis66]

theres a place called the golden triangle in thailand , the opium capital of the world .. check it out!

[Bengali25]

man, this was such an interesting video - wish there was translation

[pinkology777]

If a video is worth uploading on an English-language site (this one absolutely is) and if narrator/reporter even speaks in English, it should also be worth applying translated captions in English of important and lengthy Chinese dialogue.

[KiloByte69]

Agreed, why the hell isn't it translated!?

[kurohune07]

Urgent U.N Troops To Burma(Myanmar) Please sign *A Petition Takes 30 seconds. It's very eeesy. It's posted on my public channel. Thanks

[anaaaaal]

Agree , the British Goverment was the worlds biggest Drug Dealer ,they Flooded China with Opium .

[beliserius]

The british only started to trade Opium because the Chinese refused to trade fairly with the british empire.

[anidaandrew]

To get china to trade fairly, British started to trade opium. thanks to British, opium and heroin are flourish. British should pay for all the cost that associated with opium and heroin.

[beliserius]

Well, you must take regards on who started it all. It was the Chinese who were making stupid and unfair rules during trade, so the british empire got frustrated, and traded drugs. But the British did not know the full psychological and physical damage the drugs could do at the time yet,.

[anidaandrew]

opium is the greatest evil, and British started to trade, but Chinese didn't. Each nation has the right to trade or not to trade. US has the right not to trade with N. Korea. 2007, British know the full psychological and physical damage the drugs. As a civilized nation, British should pay for all the cost that associated with opium and heroin.

[TheGBC]

well if it wasn't for us the chinese would be far less interested in heroin and all opiates....

maybe if we didn't fill the country up with drugs there wouldn't be a problem??? just a thought....

[djinstructor]

I agree with the Police detox centre. It's a shame we don't adopt a similar policy in the UK rather than pussyfooting around with drug users wasting significant sums of money etc
