Middle-Aged Junkie Bitches: The Documentary

Forget about Vincent Vega and the Basketball Diaries. This ought to be a more effective anti-drug PSA for the kids. Starring Anita Hitt and Ivana Score (who just got out of Tanguay on a mandatory minimum sentence for possession, btw.) NOTE from Anita: This is not intended to PROMOTE drugs, fuckers.

Ecstasy Destroys / Documentary Educational Video / MDMA
Ecstasy – The Damage It Does / Documentary Educational Video. Public domain video. MDMA (3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a synthetic, psychoactive drug chemically similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. Street names for MDMA include Ecstasy, Adam, XTC, hug, beans, and love drug. MDMA is an illegal drug that acts as both a stimulant and psychedelic, producing an energizing effect, as well as distortions in time and perception and enhanced enjoyment from tactile experiences. MDMA exerts its primary effects in the brain on neurons that use the chemical serotonin to communicate with other neurons. The serotonin system plays an important role in regulating mood, aggression, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain. Research in animals indicates that MDMA is neurotoxic; whether or not this is also true in humans is currently an area of intense investigation. MDMA can also be dangerous to health and, on rare occasions, lethal. Health Hazards: For some people, MDMA can be addictive. A survey of young adult and adolescent MDMA users found that 43 percent of those who reported ecstasy use met the accepted diagnostic criteria for dependence, as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance (or diminished response), and 34 percent met the criteria for drug abuse. Almost 60 percent of people who use MDMA report withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, loss of appetite …
What was the name of the HBO documentary that had a pregnant prostitute smoking crack?
Question by K.C.: What was the name of the HBO documentary that had a pregnant prostitute smoking crack?
It’s not ‘High On Crack Street: lost Lives in Lowell” because it aired before that was even made. I’m writing a paper for school that’s due tomorrow and have used a scene in this documentary as an example. The woman was caucasian, had long brown hair, was missing a front tooth and went into treatment twice I believe during the documentary. I know at least once she left treatment. She smoked crack on camera while at least 5 months pregnant. Please, I am not looking for opinions of outrage that this happened, I just would like to be able to sight this documentary correctly for my paper. I first saw this back in 1991, but it may have come out earlier. thank you so much for any information on this HBO documentary you can give me.

Computers seem to have taken over many aspects of our lives. We rely on them to do dozens of everyday tasks… think of what life would be like without them!

Video Clip: Big Bucks, Big Pharma Documentary
Visit secure.mef.tv for more information. Newly released by the Media Education Foundation, “Big Bucks, Big Pharma” pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain. Focusing on the industry’s marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors. Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important questions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being. Featuring interviews with Dr. Marcia Angell (Dept. of Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Former Editor New England Journal of Medicine), Dr. Bob Goodman (Columbia University Medical Center; Founder, No Free Lunch), Gene Carbona (Former Pharmaceutical Industry Insider and Current Executive Director of Sales, The Medical Letter), Katharine Greider (Journalist; Author, The Big Fix: How the Pharmaceutical Industry Rips Off American Consumers,), Dr. Elizabeth Preston (Dept. of Communication, Westfield State College), and Dr. Larry Sasich (Public Citizen Health Research Group).
