3:28 am
especially as strongly influenced by them, inspired by progressive sounds, beat to the political events of the time when the war fell in burden. the scene emerged that he fourthly, celebrated the beginning of a new attitude to life in the early nineties. as id, more a few, i'm done with the water in suddenly there were clubs and venues everywhere. jewish prisoner, i had to go climb through old concrete slabs and debris that had burlap sacks hanging from the little youth. and there were candles everywhere. um cats and dunbar. a home just went and then you just thought it's not where do i go now? within has of amazon and then you hear music coming from somewhere. hinton and it found a club somewhere in the back of some catacombs and crew. and you hung around and danced. and it was just incredible for their hammer and techno provided the perfect party soundtrack, sound that conquered the world with its fast and hypnotic beat. coming from the u. s. motor city detroit with no lyrics or instruments of any kind. and as did the
3:29 am
hippie movement of the 60s to protect no fans to discover a new draft to raise their party culture to new highs, ecstasy, ecstasy when tags to see and click know are intertwined with one another that they take no, excuse you. there was this moment at the beginning of the techno explosion with more men, hooligan swallowed pills and suddenly they wanted to cut altogether instead of fight cushioning. that was the symbolic beginning of techno from buddha should begin from this idea of spending hours on a dance floor. the way you let yourself go, it sites bring some day to the fire. and this try ballistic sense of surrendering to the rhythm that goes along with using drugs that distinguish was a gipsy, is off of between consume, to tune. that's not to say that everybody who does it takes drugs about the culture in which it happens was made with their influence. the. it's hard for me to even imagine it without drugs. when d for mitchell,
3:30 am
we are forced to both on at home despite the government's move from bond to berlin, pony to areas in the capital, we're really humming culture and night. life class over at berlin's mare at the time, confidently declared in 2003, berlin is poor, but sexy. the people who could relate to that were changing the city. my number of i'm on, i'm my name is as i am on the ranches. i am 52 years old and, and i'm active in various areas of event management to jordan palmer home on to rig bryan's ranges has been engaged in night life for many years. these, the spokesman for the berlin club commission, and association of cultural creatives within the party scene in berlin. when done. com, d 5, it myself quite often say. and then came the world cop in 2006, and it was a fabulous summer. and the ceiling was full of international tourism in bellevue.
3:31 am
and they just couldn't believe how hard we could party here in berlin. apathy that kind of thing didn't exist anywhere else in the world. and so in 2006, this wish berlin really did change its image through this poor by the 6th grade that override had coined and we proudly showed up to the world what we could do with nothing and of the climate empathy theft of what fine of improve fietta, ofterhide and berlin continued to develop into a party town. those who wanted to up on the requisite trucks had it easy. and crude spurred in friedreich's. i'm near many clubs, drugs were openly available. lauren, laura illicit drugs are being consumed in germany upside known for the past 9 years . the number of crimes recorded by the police has risen. that's young the last year to almost $360000.00. 0, la shrimp is the head of the narcotics division of the berlin state police.
3:32 am
drug use in the capital has been increasing for years. berlin is currently at a 10 year high, cocaine and ecstasy dominate. the scene is the drugs of choice for party gold. goods we knew that won't consume it, go straight to the increasing drug consumption in this city is without a doubt, fueled by its intense and abundant night life. but this is not to suggest that drugs are exclusively being consumed by party. go is you, there is most certainly a segment which is exploiting the situation to acquire drugs with relative eeoc without you for life denied for hon. no, i'm gonna own a shrimp is on his way to the forensic institute of the berlin state police. the center for forensic criminal science at the berlin police department, living tourism with all those little dissembling. these are the typical narcotics that i encounter here in berlin. here's a hash plate, fambrose's, date groups. these are l s d strips in the amount of la various m d a may, tablets,
3:33 am
methamphetamine, or for calmed meat of the classic crystal math. russel is less common here in berlin, but it is here. one wasn't been and also very common in berlin is cocaine. so this white powder cook, i even was wise approver, when he and heroine, this base saw it here. the abuse by iga festival off the cannabis and amphetamines like speed, m d m a is the 3rd most commonly consumed drug among 15 to 34 year olds in germany . 10 years ago, ecstasy, tablets, lipkin the different than they do to day. they are now made target specific demographics. smitherman, pre, it's your, are these ones target age groups? you find these sorts of things exciting and cool up and there's a certain playfulness to it. when you, if you look at the traditional tablet here, they don't look very entertainment for her and go to the list of course as something completely different isn't digital because i know they remind you of something simple and smart that you wouldn't mind consuming hopelessness.
3:34 am
convenience with in the composition of ecstasy is not always the same. often that contain other psychoactive substances. besides m d m a. in europe, it is primarily produced in the netherlands or belgium. it costs between $15.20 to produce one ecstasy tablet and a user can expect to pay around $5.00 to $10.00 euros per tablet on the black market. unison hannah met while partying and berlin jonas has come back to finish high school. and anna works as a teacher. both take drugs in their free time when they party, they often do so with elicit drugs, fearing career consequences, they wish not to be identified. their names and voice has been changed from this program with the sister to tighten. i would like to be able to share myself
3:35 am
because i would really like to show that there are not only these negative examples . there are people from the little class to didn't even like me who definitely used drunk come to me. but i know if i showed myself here, it would cause problems for me. it was, that is if i could still even find a job and we do it every weekend, i like to do the honest and i'm not by the drugs that use over the internet. sometimes there are a toner pallets of drugs offered for sale by a messenger services like telegraph sheep and do it quicker in houses. co. christie hash. the ark, i less d z. my agra is lots and lots of cannabis, more ecstasy than you can imagine, that you can actually have anything delivered no matter where you are in berlin, if at any time of the day light is not said. there is plenty of demand. there are a telegram groups with up to 20000 members expenses image by and look, honestly,
3:36 am
it's pretty amazing to me that all this is even possible. i can see it doesn't matter if it's illegal to god and isaac, whether the state agrees to it or not makes no difference at all. i can call this number and say to 20 minutes or half an hour, a taxi will show up here to find, deliver as much cocaine as we want to buy. you need the money. of course. most of these groups are accessible to anybody, including to minors. it is almost impossible for the police to take down these drug networks. because you don't need a big coin, wallace. i'm you interested in a drug dealer office to sell it to you and you set up a meet through private chads. i'll ponder, you arrange everything by chat, go to time and place the price, and then you made you couldn't you paying cash? so there is no money trail to follow. and the chairs are deleted, automatically modeled by curious students, photographers, architects, and designers. many of them take drugs from time to time that why to people who to
3:37 am
get home the 1st place with dr. andrea uab and i used to be an emergency physician and experienced a variety of drug related emergencies in the bird. in my life. she and her husband, the found of normalization, dedicated to the scientific research and social utility of psychedelic substance consumption. she operates a psychotherapy practice, and berlin mentioned the needful use psychoactive substances for 2 main reasons. the 1st is the classic reason i have to escape from an uncomfortable mental or emotional situation. for example, if someone come same from work stress and has a beer, it's difficult to escape from a certain state of being said today. the other reason is to move toward a more comfortable date of being stuff. that is what we find. for example, in this whole party scene mentioned was people who take m t m a for example. they
3:38 am
are looking for a way to feel better would have more emotionally open, more relaxed, more accessible on social media. scientific evidence shows that people have been consuming psychoactive substances for thousands of years. have drawing short people with mushrooms floating over their heads. even animals indulge in intoxication now and then as, as to rush because even dolphins, for example, gentle fins get themselves high on half efficient, helps anything really conscious of young dolphin. swim a tougher fish snip at them and then float on front in the water. he can't describe math is anything else that is high high. if you click through relevance internet for me, you can find people exchanging tips about which drugs are best suited for a club. we can them berlin, those who want to take illegal trucks can also do so many clubs in the capitol has learned most kind, kind of cooper times. i know mostly them by the thing either in life
3:39 am
a guy old dad mentioned that they're bar or the dead and he just put order. i'm a true would adjust to ready group. it's 5. we're going to need our vice. the storm cleanser makes us to yet mankind isn't woman consume niched, stockton condom, the fan admonished yet of unless it's happening openly at the bar or something like that. it's pretty tough to proactively prevent consumption and i've been, if i then the mouth by them club, i'm ga, the only way would be to make the club a totally regulated space. but the idea of a club is not to make it a regulated space. and i basically have to live with the fact that these rooms are going to be used for activities which are outside the law, from visits misconduct, them to buying off and possession of drugs or criminal offenses in germany. this applies to the capital city and its clubs as well. there are exceptions for small
3:40 am
quantities for personal use, up to 15 grams of cannabis are tolerated in berlin. and all the german states, the amount of cannabis tolerated for personal consumption is significantly less endorsed on in germany in particular, but also in other european and western countries. the discourse is very much characterized by moralistic finger pointing to the question is, who do these limits benefit? you benefits from these restriction lots, it's most definitely not safer for consumers. in fact, it's more dangerous because they're being driven into an illegal market, which is often upper ages, families, less poisonous gifts. listen, some countries are pursuing different policy strategies to those of germany in portugal, although drugs including cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy, and not legal, they were d criminalized in 2001. this means that being caught with these trucks in portugal does not automatically results in penalties. the purchase of possession of all trucks for personal use is permitted along with the netherlands, portuguese,
3:41 am
focusing on education, support, and control dispensing rather than on punishment. portugal seems to be faring better with his moderate policies from germany. according to the 2019 european drug report, portugal registered for drug deaths per 1000000 inhabitants. in contrast, 21 and germany is asia had in his fester done. thus mentioned good, it is in societies interest for people to be healthy, custody under men, and it is in societies interests for people to be able to indulge themselves. this is the trade off, and the way we are handling it has been indulging, is being banished to the dark corners. oh, and that is a place that suits indulgence quite nicely. possibly marshal can scoot it in principle, using drugs openly is not permitted in the club. consumers are therefore obliged to seek other high toys. the clubs are often not entirely without complicity,
3:42 am
and this is monique lema and consumers and alcoholism. nobody really wants to take drugs in the bathroom. it just isn't very nice to waste. and then so obviously if there's a little space somewhere in the club, some kind of little wooden hut or even some beds that i can lie on or couches and sofa where i can be hidden and no one can see me. if i can enjoy some time alone with my friends and take my drugs in peace, that's going to be much nicer of course. and of course the clubs want to make that possible for the people. so not feel forced to get high on a toilet like a junkie. it's muslim john to you not to let disciplines, indian people who want to take drugs do whether a home or in the club. jennifer didn't take drugs for the 1st time at the con, either, but occasionally in her native united states to. but should berlin clubs create rooms for drug consumption? since 2018, the berlin police have been coordinating with the berlin club commission. the goal
3:43 am
is to have an open dialogue about possible problems. the fact that a police fire or if miss may affect light permit as a drug from relations with the police cannot be compared with the situation. 20 years ago. for disregard happened. it is much more relaxed this year. in many ways i would even say it has become more like a partnership where both sides gain a little behind that. a decal club owner on one hand because at the police no longer ride in and shut the place down. i found the notation for and for the police on the other than if the club owner keeps an ear to the ground for and let them know if the situation starts to get out of hand. i thought awfully shabby at the club commission policy makers in the police agree on one thing. simply banning drugs from the clubs will not work. it is to you topic to believe that our society will ever be free of drugs, would be even the police can't claim that we can solve the drug problem. we need
3:44 am
strong evidence to justify the charge that drugs are being sold off. if i have a clear target, then i am in the position to carry out police raids and similar measures. in 201753000 parties and club events were organized in berlin. according to the berlin club commission, the police say they conducted 79 rights on berlin clubs. in the same year. there were 58 each in 20182019, respectively. these were the numbers before the corona pandemic, but when people could still dancing, the fact is, in 2018. berlin drew 3000000 club tourists to the city. the berlin club coach has become a significance economic driver in the past that he is tourist the come to berlin for the clubs also spend money on accommodations, meals, transportation, and shopping. these factors combined to bring in revenues of around 1.4, right, 1000000000 euros was in 1000000000 and fostering sentence over britain. we have to
3:45 am
face the fact here that the city of berlin does not have much. and you have to use like you are, lynn has the government and it has culture. and that's it. from frankfurt, munich. hm. hamburg shook. god doesn't. those are the economically important cities, which dr. germany's prosperity and policy. berlin doesn't have that. that's been what it has is a 50 year tradition, all counterculture and free spaces, ruined fi, which along with night life and techno have lent berlin. it's big, his friend of mine, coolest and most spectacular expression technol. i know toys through groups to inspect our calisto foreman from frederick alondo is an open sociologist. club culture was a major economic factor for the city before the corona pandemic. to what extent does she see a danger of political dependency on the club scene? that is, this musician had i, and my usa, we cannot afford to under estimate the economic impact on which is vital for been
3:46 am
in one day. we meet liquidity and we need people to come here to appreciate the thickening is showing gauge with that is a shot for she personally, i would be a bit reluctant to call it a dependency. and it's really more of an interdependent as it's even into the clubs, the needs within of glen, all the stuff, the think, the guy he operating as norma. yeah. and so the city of the and then needs the clamp even to help attract visitors to the city. to make these experiences available to people of whom to stand. laner is 24 and is studying in berlin. she too wants to remain anonymous because she is afraid of being stigmatized. her name and voice have also been changed. she stopped taking synthetic drugs in 2019 after a bad experience of ecstasy, a food i actually just took part of a pell. and then it felt like my ribcage had closed up. and i felt like i couldn't
3:47 am
breathe. we were on the dance floor at that moment, dancing around like crazy, and suddenly i couldn't breathe. and at that moment i really thought, okay, it's game over for me just wasn't, i really felt like i was going to collapse that any moments and never gets up again with the side effects of ecstasy, headache and nausea, vomiting and raised blood pressure. the hot kidneys and liver arose so severely burdened there was a risk of life threatening hypothermia or overheating there, around a 120 clubs and berlin. some of them opened from wednesday through sunday on extended club weekends. drug related emergencies occur regularly. one thing i have seen before, for example, is that especially women not just dropped in some front room or maybe they're not feeling there. well, maybe they have to throw up,
3:48 am
or maybe they're not really responsive. i've also heard about people who were removed because the class didn't want to take responsibility if something happened with at that moment when i was having my band trip, i didn't feel that the club looked off to me at all. and i didn't feel say none of the club staff came over and i think that's incredibly ignorant or they don't think it responsibilities with when i look at how some clubs are set up and how they create so many opportunities to take drugs. they look away from the dark corners where people are using and yeah, it's absolutely the clubs responsibility, absolutely. sanford from club since 2018 the drug prevention project. so nah, has taken it upon itself to make night life in berlin,
3:49 am
safer at the beginning of an event, the team organizes and information booth in the clubs for a few hours and speaks directly with guests. they distribute information flies about various substances and offer individual counseling to promote low risk consumption, safer sniffing packs, laid out with sniff, achieves, and sinus cleaners. the club staff also receive support. soon off is a full range of training including house, give 1st aid in drug related emergencies. rudy gush monica is a policy and public health scientist and has been active in the narcotics field for over 25 years. here as us cook parallel, it's not too late. the club staff is, of course, very important for athens. we could probably are very important partner sides because they to have a very, very crucial responsibility come such heightened hom, via, in a sense they have a duty to care for their guests leases. and of course,
3:50 am
they want those guesses to have a great time, told us a party, a lead me, i'll have mucus void in addition to root, gosh malcolm. the project is facilitated by ryman der inches from the berlin club commission, other not really fast food from slit. when i looked on the him, of course we would like to see all clubs participating in these prevention program often are the 2 i feel very monopoly, but the fact is that we are still operating in illegal territory. it's my wish. i've often kind of mentions like canada expect everybody to happily accept that activities are happening on business premises that could have legal consequences for them. i'm just offer officer 11th up, couldn't participating in the program is voluntary for the clubs, so far, so north, coordinating regularly with 15 clubs, 15 out of a 120 and even just getting there. it's been a long process. the oldest nervous ones i see and yon dust yet so much for the
3:51 am
needles we've seen for many years that we, the netherlands, switzerland, austria land and some other european regions. and countries were met with resistance to new methods of mother. or they're still a bit controversial and haven't yet been fully tested in practice poxel. there isn't yet enough evidence to prove their effectiveness of the visa see bookish. i'm absolutely up songs and i'm out last. we have a federalist structure here in germany, which should actually enable this noble off to another, or then people inevitably want to pass it to the federal level. again, the problem there is survive. there's no real framework yet. and so it just gets put on the back burner phase of us of my it's the defense of the longer punctual the case of jennifer, the american tourist who died of an ecstasy overdose. and burke on shows to the nights at parting on drugs can in the worst case, also in fatally some target or 5 can in my policy on
3:52 am
this, most of the us tragic cases can happen at any time for me. so we have to be clear about that, but when it comes to here, it's just not true. that ecstasy, for example, is now a completely safe drawn. and that such things can't happen done mostly. and in the end, i have to be very aware that if i take drug handle them, i can end badly, essentially, and dimension deanna. when someone buys an ecstasy tablet, they have no idea what they're getting. it could contain several different substances with similar effect profiles. probably every dothan or even more than that is gambling. i gambling with your life, i'm going to be of, as it a candle and de la de la from him at the end of the school, just off cindy best and the so to wish i'm can i buy to title and refuse to go out to persons or men, not sure if i do have duluth often that always does. it just does it said a fresh dental policy that i just luminated on when someone wants to try ecstasy
3:53 am
