Ibogaine is a drug that has been mentioned by many former heroin addicts to be the reason why they quit heroin. It is a drug that has been reported to significantly reduce the opioid withdrawal symptoms that occur when a heroin user tries to quit. However, it is illegal in the US and considered a schedule 1 drug and so in this video we will talk about how true the claims are that Ibogaine can help treat heroin addiction and if so, then why it is illegal in the US.

The Nigerian senate estimates that 3 million bottles of codeine syrup are drunk every day in just two states – Kano and Jigawa.

But who makes this syrup? And who sells it to Nigeria’s students?

BBC Africa Eye went undercover to investigate.

Heroin is having a devastating effect on communities across South Africa. That's the conclusion of a study by an EU-funded project known as ENACT. A drug called Nyaope made of low-grade heroin is presenting a particular challenge. Users engage in a dangerous practice known as bluetoothing, in which the intoxicated blood of one user is injected into the veins of another. ENACT based its findings on interviews with gang members, drug dealers, users and police. They also found that the government and law enforcement are failing to tackle the problem. Some viewers may find some images in this report distressing.

Washington, D.C. residents Sam Rogers and Renee Howell live in fear of their next drug overdose as fentanyl has sent the rate of deaths among African Americans skyrocketing.

As the world has been transfixed by the opioid crisis in North America, another crisis, just as serious, has been unfolding almost unreported across Africa.

The addictive prescription painkiller Tramadol has exploded in popularity, used by everyone from workers trying to cope with long hours and grueling labor, to university students looking to have a good time. It’s even the drug of choice for members of Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram, fueling their violence.

Now, governments are threatening to crack down, using the same War on Drugs methods of repression that have failed everywhere else. And meanwhile, as counterfeit pills flood the continent, new research is questioning whether people are even taking real Tramadol at all.

In The War On Drugs, we examine the social implications of prohibition worldwide. Any attempt to shut down the trade in drugs such as heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine or weed invariably sets off a chain of events that just makes things worse, leaving a trail of death, illness, violence, slavery, addiction, crime and inequality across the globe. Everyone loses – except, in a weird kind of way, the drugs themselves.

As described in the book,
Into the Fray: How NBC's Washington Documentary Unit Reinvented the News By Tom Mascaro

https://www.amazon.com/Into-Fr....ay-Washington-Docume

The Science of Spying, marked the arrival of Bob Rogers as a field reporter-producer. The program aired May 4, 1965, and tracked the roots of U.S. covert operations back to the 1950s, providing a stark account of clandestine initiatives in a time before public disclosures, congressional investigations, and Hollywood movies made the 1970s a difficult time to be an American spy. The "Pentagon Papers," the Pike and Church Committees, and thrillers such as Three Days of the Condor eventually revealed the CIA's complicity in assassination plots and interna-tional meddling, which Yates and Rogers had already seen up close. NBC management stood firm when The Science of Spying attracted criti-cism. Ad reps from Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (BBD&O) screened it and advised their client B. F. Goodrich Company to withdraw.31 BBD&O issued a statement saying the program violated the Goodrich advertising policy "in that it treats a controversial public issue in a way which may do harm to the government of the United States?" NBC countered that the documentary "fell within the broad outlines of the program policy origi-nally submitted to and accepted by the B. F. Goodrich agency, BBD&O."33 The CIA watched the program and tracked subsequent reactions in the national press. Viewers wrote to President Johnson complaining NBC News had given America's enemies negative propaganda.34 Yates may have antici-pated some adverse reactions to the program, but he never expected to be frightened by what he discovered.

CIA Drug Trafficking Allegations
Committee members heard testimony concerning allegations that the

Central Intelligence Agency facilitated the introduction and spread

of crack cocaine in U.S. urban areas in order to fund Contra

activities in Nicaragua. Representative Millender-McDonald

testified that the report by the CIA Inspector-General was incorrect

and that the committee must pursue its own investigation of the

matter to uncover those responsible for this activity.

Inspector-General Hitz outlined his office’s report which finds no

evidence of any links between the CIA and drug traffickers in Central

America.
