Good show. The show gives you a comprehensive look into the lives of people involved in the drug trade.
Including law enforcement, dealers, and addicts. There's no political spin regarding the drugs or their effects on the user, what you see is what you get. However, when the show tries to talk about firearms there's always misinformation and a political message.
For example, in Season 5 Episode 5 there are numerous references to "assault weapons. It's a term that was made up and used by gun control proponents in the 90's. In the same episode they say rifle cartridges that are "full metal jacket" are "armor piercing cop killers.
FMJ is standard ammunition and is not specifically designed to pierce armor. I just wish they'd get their facts straight before airing the episode. I can excuse incorrect terminology, but when you're spreading blatantly false information to make firearms seem scarier it's just ridiculous. Details Edit. Release date July 11, United States. But first they must to evade Lower Manhattan's high security "ring of steel".
And that means going in disguise - one looks like a tourist; another swaps hoods and sweats for a suit and tie. Thailand is in the grip of an addiction epidemic that is spinning out of control as a candy-colored meth pill called yaba overtakes every other drug used in the country. Yaba in Thai means 'crazy medicine' and heavy use of the pill can trigger psychosis.
Dealers find every which way to dodge the cops and customs authorities to keep the profits rolling in. It's Spring Break and among thousands of US students who head to Cancun, Mexico there are some who have one thing on their mind: to get wasted. Two cartels - Sinaloa and Gulf - monopolize the tourist drug trade.
But independent dealers - known as 'hoppers' - are trying to poach their turf. Police meanwhile struggle to hold the line trying to head off the brewing violence and save gringo tourists from the consequences of their own folly.
Thanks to recently relaxed possession laws in Massachusetts, student dealers like Anubis, Kane and Stiffler are ramping up their supplies.
To fund their own studies, they are selling an array of narcotics to the booming student population in Boston. But with National Weed day around the corner, the police are also on the look-out. Two jails: one in California, the other in New Jersey. Both have amongst the toughest drug policies in the United States.
But still drugs find their way in… In Cali, crystal meth is the jail drug du jour, while in Jersey a deadlier drug rules: heroin. Two different drugs, two different kingpins, two different jails: officers versus inmates in a battle for ultimate control. Grim Reaper sheds light on the dark side of the drug trade. Users fall into the habit of using drugs to fill a void. What they dont realize is that this void often ends in death. From the hit man to the end user, no one is safe.
The business of drugs wreaks havoc and lives are lost. The holidays are a time for celebration and revelry. For some, that means connecting with family and friends. For those in the drug game, its a time of year when business is booming. The biggest party of the year brings unique opportunities for dealers wishing to make a lot of money but they have a new set of problems to contend with; fierce competition with other dealers, stick up kids who make a living robbing them and the law enforcement who are on full alert to make sure the night goes without a hitch.
A dealer makes a drop at a Hollywood red carpet event; a family hustles back packs of paste through the Peruvian forest; a US Customs plane tracks a light aircraft as it makes a belly landing in the dead of night in Guatemalan; a Border Patrol Agent sweats his way through a tiny tunnel under the US-Mexican border, tracing its route as oxygen levels drop dangerously low; a wholesaler prepares a five-kilo shipment.
At every step the price goes up, and the risks grow greater. Drugs Inc reveals the international supply chain of a drug that starts life as a leaf and ends up as a powder more valuable than gold: cocaine. During March, in a time-honored American tradition, more than a million college students, from all over the country, will descend onto the beaches of Florida for a month of debauched drinking, crazed drug taking and week long, hour raving. This is Spring Break and it's all about the beaches, the babes, the drinks and the drugs.
At this time of year, it's the dealers that are full of the joys of spring, as the demand for hard-core narcotics like coke and 'Molly' explodes, making Spring Break their most lucrative period of the year. But in order to satisfy the extreme demand, high level traffickers must take huge risks to bring in vast quantities Stick-up crews; interstate traffickers; street corner slingers: the hallmarks of the hardcore drug trade also apply to a 'soft' drug: Marijuana.
In California, Chico and Red rob pharmacies of 'sour diesel' - a potent strain developed for medical use. Quenell of Humboldt County Sheriff's Department discovers a sophisticated illegal grow, one of the many illegal plantations that dot Northern California.
White Widow - a legitimate grower - reveals how some of her fellow farmers sell off surplus product, no questions asked. The ultimate destination for much of this marijuana is New York City - into the hands of dealers like like T-Man and Rocky America is in the grip of a crystal meth epidemic. There are more than 1. This film follows the crystal meth trafficking routes from Mexico and into the United States. The journey begins in the lawless mountains that surround Culiacan, where Mexican Super Meth is produced in superlabs on an industrial scale.
The cartel then use American citizens to traffic crystal meth shipments From Sinaloa, Mexico to America's suburban heartland, heroin binds people in a chain of misery. Our heroin supply line begins with poppy fields and a game of cat and mouse between farmers and the Mexican Army. The game shifts to Arizona's desert. Here, mules move product by pick-up or on foot while Maricopa County Sheriff's helicopters try to hunt them down. In Columbus, OH, hole up in trap houses for a slice of the retail trade.
DEA Agents run undercover stings in mall parking lots, where the price of getting discovered is paid in lead. And the game reaches a grisly climax in a mortuary, where one mother conducts an autopsy on another mother Molly is breaking out of the clubs and hitting the streets, used by prostitutes. The clubbers "love drug" has now morphed into a sex drug.
When heroin users in America began turning up with raw lesions, decaying skin and grotesque sores on arms and legs, doctors were worried. The symptoms looked like those associated with Krokodil - a home-cooked, super-strong opiate that got its start in Siberian Russia. Made from codeine 'cooked' with toxic ingredients, Krokodil can be stronger than heroin, and more addictive. Heroin is cheap and widely available, so will US dealers and users go to the trouble and expense of sourcing codeine?
Drugs Inc journeys to Chicago is one of America's most dangerous cities, and drug dealers take advantage of the 4th of July firework celebrations to rob their rivals. It's become known as the city with half a police force.
On weekends, 'sideshows' or illegal car rallies tear up the city streets. They often end in violence, and gunfights in Oakland frequently happen in broad daylight.
Oakland is the third most dangerous city in the US. It has the 7th highest murder rate per capita and is number one in violent robberies. The drug market has become an unregulated free for all, worth millions of dollars per year. With very few police on the streets, Baltimore - a once prosperous city. The people they are interviewing are straight up snitching and giving away secrets, how are the dealers ok with ppl filming their drug trade?
Do crime organizations not watch Netflix? Is this stuff real? Many are unmasked, as many of the people interviewed throughout the series are not disobeying the law. Those that are, on the other hand, remain masked and have their voices distorted when talking about illegal activity, as to remain undetected by authorities and those they operate with.
