Channel 4 is planning a ground-breaking new four-part series that will see people taking illegal drugs live on TV in order to explore the effects of such substances on the human body.
The programme, called Drugs Live, will take the form of a four-part science series in which all the experiments will take place in a supervised environment, in the hope that some useful data will be gathered about the harmful effects of drugs like cocaine.
Channel 4's chief creative officer Jay Hunt announced the potentially controversial programme as part of several new C4 programmes that will take ‘real risks’ to increase viewing figures.
As she introduced the Drugs Live series, Hunt said: ‘The Government's drugs tsar Professor (David) Nutt was sacked for claiming that LSD and ecstasy were less harmful than alcohol.’
‘In an incredibly bold experiment we are going to be putting that to the test live, looking at the impact all of those substances have on the human body in a clinical environment.’
Referring to drugs laws as an ‘incredibly important area of social policy’, Hunt predicted that Channel 4 would be on ‘the front foot to provide some interesting and useful data’ when it launches the new programme later this year.

Going to check this shit out when i get on comp

Lights, Camera, Action

or in Leary's terms, "Tune on, Tune in, and drop out!"

Great find Floyd!

Sounds good to me

Hopefully some none users can see the truth..

I thought you were referring to 4chan when I read the title.

I am going to download that. Obviously I don't have channel 4.

I'd love to try LSD live on TV. Actually Id just like to try LSD...

It will be interesting to see how the producers portray things.

This is great i hope they dont bullshit anything and people just see some kid having a blast with Lucy on tv. Then they switch to some drunk guy wanting to fight/throwing up, and it shows people that LSD isnt any worse than the substances they prefer to abuse.

yeah but just like people that cant handle booze and act like ass'es. there are people that cant handle cid and the 1's that cant are in a way worse place than just being drunk. and if that person happens to be on that show. that will be ugly

I agree with both of you sven diesel & BlazedMonkey.

I can imagine that happening and I have to say, the only realistic I can see it not happening is if someone that really knew about the drugs was in charge of the show. The only way hes gonna know what hes doing if he has taken them, a fair amount!

I hope it works in a pozitive way though, hope its worth watching at least!
