"Before the end of the year, nitrous distributors had cleverly changed their packaging and introduced flavoring. Into smoke shops and onto Amazon came enormous tanks of nitrous."

I have argued for many years that Westminster's refusal to allow Scotland to follow other European countries on more positive approaches to handling drug addiction has been a key contributor to a long standing problem - one rooted in poverty. But at the same time there needs to be a dual track and there is little doubt that the SNP dropped the ball on drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Royal Navy's submarine service is plagued by 'gang bangs', drug dealers and lewd officers who celebrate 'rape lists' as crews share Top Trumps-style cards of worst offenders, whistleblower says

And there are disturbing claims of rapes and sexual assaults taking place, as well as a culture of cocaine use among some sailors serving on nuclear submarines and some stationed at the navy's nuclear submarine HQ, HMNB Clyde, in Faslane, Scotland.

'I know of people who have been gang raped,' an insider said. 'I saw initiation ceremonies. One lad was on his knees ion his compartment with three lads and was trying to [perform a sex act on them].'

The former sailor claimed: 'On HMS Vengeance eight kids tried to kill themselves, three were raped and two have now died. Honestly, it's f***ing disgusting.'

...

The claims are the latest to rock the submarine service following allegations of sexual bullying, misogyny and abuse against women were revealed by the Mail.

In October the head of the Royal Navy was forced into offering a grovelling apology for sexual attacks and bullying of women on submarines, after it was exposed by the Mail.

...

The Navy published a 140-page report into its findings, about two-thirds of which is completely obscured by a security censor's black ink, covering up shocking details of the abuses.

Captagon was a pharmaceutical drug created in Germany in the early 1960s to treat conditions like attention deficit disorder, then became a party drug in Eastern Europe. @npr looks at how it became a major source of funding for the Assad regime during Syria’s civil war.

Busted! High-ranking Mexican cartel leader arrested and charged with drug trafficking.

Gutierrez-Ochoa "allegedly faked his own death and assumed a false identity to evade justice and live a life of luxury in California."

The Jalisco cartel produced millions of doses of fentanyl & disguised them to look like Xanax, Percocet or oxy, resulting in ~70K overdose deaths/yr in the U.S. #drugs #press

Western sources estimate that up to 99% of opium production has been stamped out in provinces like Helmand, which previously cultivated more than half of Afghan poppy. This effort effectively eliminated the global heroin supply, with some rightfully calling it the most successful counter-narcotics effort in human history. Since banning poppy cultivation in April 2022, the Taliban brought down poppy cultivation to less than 1,000 hectares in Helmand, prompting farmers to start planting actually useful crops, like wheat, slowly eliminating the famine created by Western sanctions. The Taliban also banned ephedra cultivation, leading to a mass shutdown of the previously extensive network of ephedrine labs across the country, effectively dismantling the methamphetamine industry.

So, how does the mainstream propaganda machine respond to actual, functioning anti-narcotics efforts? If you guessed by praising it, you'd be wrong. Quite the contrary, there's nothing but "severe criticism" of these supposedly "medieval policies and bans". In its late October 2022 piece, the CIA front Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) claimed that the Taliban were "turning a blind eye to opium production", while Foreign Policy's February report insisted that "the Taliban's war on drugs could backfire". And pro-narcotics propaganda continues to this very day, as the so-called United States Institute of Peace (USIP) claimed as late as June that "the Taliban's successful opium ban is bad for Afghans and the world".
