Wasnt sure where to put this My mate just texted me to show me this:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/...jungle-drug-hits-UK.html

Propoganda of the highest order, this newspaper is the lowest of the low when it comes to lies and sensationalism, it is being compared to crystal meth It also says it was linked with a death in connecticut, surely this is blatant lies? which this paper is known for. Also it says the UK border agency caught 126 kilos of dmt, now im wondering if this is actually dmt or mimosa, or if it is yet more lies from this rag, which theres a good chance of. I think people should leave comments or write to Peter Stoker, of the National Drug Prevention Alliance who says its a nasty piece of work, he has a point I mean you cant walk down the street without being harrased by dmt junkies

This is the most serious threat so far. The sun is no local ad shopper but a very influencial propaganda paper. And it seems that it already builds upon the false DMT pond story.

Congratulations, DMT is now officialy a deadly threat to society.

edit: Its also on the frontpage. This is very serious. I hope its not in the print edition.

This is awful! This story is nothing but smut. I can't believe they completely falsified so much. Where is the justice?!

wow, how disgusting and pathetic. i can't believe they're publishing this bullshit without any proof whatsoever.
"it's deadlier than meth" "suffering from nightmares" "126kg" and "linkage to deaths across the world" fuck this newspaper and fuck this author

Intelligence will prevail. It's on the rise and this little smidgen will get crushed and shown for what it is under the wave.

"Got a story? We pay £££ Call 0207 7824100"

Need I say more...

It was on page 15 or something, so not front page news. I hope your right dimitrius and intelligence does prevail because the way the world is atm it isnt.

It's pretty weird with the meth comparison, not just because it's a load of bollocks, but also because every few years in the news some reporter says how meth is going to get really big in the UK and it never does. I've never met anyone who does meth to my knowledge and it certainly isn't big in the UK.

It is written by morons for morons. Hopefully this will just pass by unnoticed, since the X-factor is underway and there are footballers sleeping with prostitues every other day there is enough detritus for their demographic to feed upon. If it had been a slow week and made front page news I'd have been more concerned, but most readers don't get past page 3 I'd imagine. Still a ridiculous article, and anyone with half a brain could see straight through it....unfortunately you can't really be sure their readers possess even that...

Methtical

Yup, the article sucks. At least the first comment made me laugh though

So many factual errors, too.

Ahh, how little we have progressed over the years. I dunno about y'all, but we're hit with so much propaganda about drugs that all I can really do is laugh.

It is sad though, sad indeed

The “progress” made for rational drug laws seems to always move one step forward, then two steps back.

Human beings are incredibly irrational, and it shows.

Rediculous.

Amazing how the ingnorant spread ignorance like a virus.

I hate news media. All they do is fear monger. Try to scare everyone into thinking that they need to read or watch their bullshit.

Anyone still think DMT being popularized & sensationalized through easy internet access is a good thing?

This is unfortunately just the beginning.
The fact that some shit-head-lie-rag is doing demonizing stories on the "latest drug trend" just goes to show how DMT is quickly becoming well known along side coke, meth & heroin to everyday people as it's web popularity grows.
I remember the hype stories about crack back in the 80's too, all full of BS & peaking the attention of every asshole wanting to get fucked up & escape.

Also, that fact that this story is only on the front page of the "web-version" of the paper (page 15 in print ver), clearly speaks to a target web-based audience.


Stock up on yer mimosa boys....



Thanks internet!
WS

126kg of DMT?

So guys, is the consensus here that they refer to mimosa?
I think if that amount of DMT crystal was seized it would make it into the more respectable media ie BBC etc.

Me thinks that business at the well-known suppliers may mushroom-forgive the mixed metaphor!

The article said that the seized material had a value of £13 million and that a gram of it sells for £100, so based on that I’d say it was DMT that was seized and not mimosa.

There are more and more curious people out there who want to try it but don’t want to extract it, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens more often.

Regarding suppliers and their potential business – some of us stocked up after the Bouncing Bear raid and now have lifetime supplies. That’s good for some of us, but not a solution for all.

Ive just checked MHRB.co.uk-a reliable source-and there site has a news section; the post on it dated today states their mimosa is stuck in customs 'with no end in sight'.Could this be relevant?

That is very sad. I am surprised at just how much impossibly negative propaganda was squeezed in. It fit every false, fear mongering thing you could imagine. It's awful, but actually surprising how many buzz words they were able to fit in, in order to cause the most possible fear and misinformation, and misconceptions.

= that dmt is a "new" drug, and it is a bigger threat than anything ever seen.
= that "smugglers" are importing it from South America like cocaine. The threat of an international drug war.
= Somehow they even made it sound as though dmt is addictive, which it isn't at all.
= somehow they even made it sound as though users are on the streets prostituting or stealing to get dmt hits. Are you kidding me?
= Somehow, they even made the point that DMT expensive and rare. Yeah, RARE!!! DMT happens to exist naturally in every human, and throughout the living world.
= its effects are terrible, and cause schizophrenia.
= it has been linked to deaths around the world.

All of these points could easily be disputed, and shown to be factually incorrect. Interesting, we now have this severe fear mongering article coming out at the same time "The Spirit Molecule" has come out. Hopefully, as others have said, intelligence will prevail. I wonder if it's time for people to start writing articles of their own. Articles based on facts.

edit:

I checked out the site. It sounds like their product gets held up in customs all the time, and they're used to this kind of thing. If so, I think that article is nothing but a total hyperbole mixed with outright lies, just to sell newspapers and get views. After all, I wouldn't have read it or be talking about it if it wasn't so ridiculous. But according to MHRB.co.uk , their mimosa is held up be customs all the time. Obviously, customs knows about their product and have been passing it for some time. Customs and LE are aware that mimosa is passing through their borders. The article is just meant to frighten, or infuriate people like us who actually have knowledge on this subject.

After reading your post, I went through the article and pulled out the following:



Fair and balanced, wouldn't you say?
