Drugslab, a very unusual YouTube channel exposing the effects of drugs

If, like me, you do not speak Dutch, I invite you to click the small subtitle icon while watching the video, or press the (C) key during playback. To make sure the subtitles are translated into the language of your choice, you can also click the cogwheel to translate the subtitles live.

This very unique and surprising YouTube channel may shock you at first, but its goal is indeed educational. The idea is to test drugs, explain methods of use, and above all describe the risks and unwanted effects. Drugslab's slogan is "We test drugs so you don't have to".
The Netherlands, being more flexible than the rest of the world on this subject, are logically the pioneers of the concept. The supervision and production are very professional, but there is always a risk for the volunteer testers.
In this episode that goes wrong, Nellie Benner and her sidekick Rens Polman test Salvia, a powerful drug that makes people lose control for a few minutes.
The trip she experienced seemed very unpleasant; her first reaction was to call Mark, the emergency doctor supervising the show.
The psychedelic effect of the carpet caught her mind's attention and she focused on it, creating a glitch in the various shapes and giving her the sensation of falling into the floor. As the drug intensified this perception, it seems she saw herself slowly sinking into the ground.
Salvia is not exactly popular; there are hundreds of videos on YouTube where taking it goes wrong, which could put most people off.
Besides, all Drugslab videos provide extremely precise information about the effects of each drug, and personally it does not make me want to try them, but it is interesting to know what kind of glitches are caused by each type of drug. I even feel sorry for the young people in these videos who film themselves and sometimes quickly become emotionally distressed because of the effects on their perception.
If it has not already been done, an expert commission should probably be created to test and verify the effects of this kind of show on young people. Informing them about the risks could limit the tragedies associated with these dangerous and destructive substances for the human mind. If it were up to me, I would put a whole range of psychiatrists, psychologists, biologists, chemists and especially anthropologists on that inquiry commission.
