a fabulous summer. and the ceiling was all of international tourism in bellevue middle of. 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, which berlin really did change its image through this with poor, by the 6th grade that override, had coined and off. we proudly showed up to the world what we could do with nothing and of the climate empathy theft of what fine off import, fietta, ofterhide, and berlin continued to develop into a party town. those who wanted to half on the requisite trucks had it easy. crew its burden. friedreich's time near many clubs, drugs were openly available. lauren, laura alissa, drugs are being consumed in germany units that known for the past 9 years. the number of crimes recorded by the police has risen. let's see on the last year to almost $360000.00. 0, la shrimp is the head of the narcotics division of the berlin state police.
11:32 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 who knew it won't consume, distraught to the increasing drug consumption in this city, is without a doubt fuel 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 to 94 and will know on the local oh no 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 things in building these are the typical narcotics that i encounter here in berlin. here's a hash plate found out of state groups. these are l s. d strips in the amount of la

various india may, tablets, methamphetamine, for calmed meat of the classic crystal meth. 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 based solid here to the abuse by iga system 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 mentors. it's your, are these ones target age groups? finally, sorts of things exciting and cool up and again, there's a certain playfulness to it when you, if you look at the traditional tablet or they don't look very entertaining for her and gave to the list of course as something completely different isn't digital, cuz i know they remind you of something simple and smart that you wouldn't mind
11:34 am
consuming corporate montages. commutes within the composition of ecstasy is not always the same. often that contain other psychoactive substances besides m dna 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 tablets on the black market. yo, austin. hannah, met for partying and berlin. yona has come back to finish high school and anna works as a teacher. both take drugs in their free time and when they party, they often do so with the list drugs. fearing career consequences, they wish not to be identified. their names and voice has been changed for this program with vince just yet to title 10. i would like to be able to share myself
11:35 am
because i would really like to show that there are not only these negative examples . this is, 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 annette by the drugs that use over the internet, sometimes they're already toner pallets of drugs offered for sale by a messenger services like telegraph sheep and do it quicker in houses co kristy hash, the arc are less d z m i. 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 in which bundled, honestly,
11:36 am
it is pretty amazing to me that all this is even possible. i can say it doesn't matter if it's illegal, so you got a nice that whether the state agrees to it or not makes no difference at all. so i can call this number and, and say 20 minutes or half an hour. a taxi will show up here to find, deliver as much cocaine as we want to buy what 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. you don't need a big coin, wallace. i'm. you're interested in a drug dealer office to sell it to you and you set up a meet through private chat. so ponder, you arrange everything by chat, get the time and place the price. and then you made you good, you paying cash, so there is no money trail to follow. and the chairs are deleted automatically, marked by curious students, photographers, architects, and designers. many of them take drugs from time to time. that white people want to
11:37 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 berlin night life. she and her husband, the founder 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 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 funded crap. the other reason is to move toward a more comfortable date of being done. that is what we find. for example,
11:38 am
in this whole party scene mentioned was people who take m t m a for example. they are looking for a way to feel better would have more emotionally open, more relaxed, more accessible, sociable indicated. santa 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 and intoxication now and then as, as to rush, cuz even dolphins, for example, gentle things get themselves high on half efficient helps anything really kind of young dolphin swim at tough a fish nip at them, and then float on front in the water. it can't describe mass as anything else, but it hi, i'm. if you click through relevance internet for me, you can find people exchanging tips about which drugs are best suited for a club weekend in berlin. those who want to take a legal trucks can also do so many clubs in the capitol pollution most. it's
11:39 am
kind kind of cooper tribal design and loosening them by the thing either in life. a guy, old dad mentioned that they're bar for the day and he just put order. i'm a true order. the augusta already groups 5. we're going to need our vice. the storm cleanser makes us to yet mankind isn't woman consume niched, stop, consume 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 when i've been. if i then the moth, my mom cloak, 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, the 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
11:40 am
quantities for personal use, up to 15 grams of cannabis are tolerated in berlin. and all the german states, the amounts of cannabis tolerated for personal consumption is significantly less endorsement 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 the 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 austin operators. finally, this poisonous gift miss on some countries are pursuing different policy strategies to those of germany. in portugal without drugs including cannabis, cocaine, and ecstasy, and not legal, they were decriminalized in 2001. this means that being court would these trucks in portugal does not automatically results and penalties. the purchase of possession of all drugs for personal use is permitted. along with the netherlands,
11:41 am
portugal is focusing on education, support, and control dispensing rather than on punishment. portugal seems to be faring better with his moderate policies than germany. according to the 2019 european drug report, portugal registered for drug deaths per 1000000 inhabitants. in contrast, $21.00 and germany is asia had in his face it out and thus mentioned, because once it is in societies interest for people to be healthy, custody under men, and it is in societies interest for people to be able to indulge themselves. this is the trade off, and the way we are handling it is 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 and the clubs are often not entirely without complicity. and
11:42 am
this is monique lima can submit another letter. 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 and 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 junky says it's muslim junky as 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 burke on either, but occasionally in her native united states to but should pearlin clubs create rooms for drug consumption. since 2018, the berlin police have been coordinating with the berlin club commission. the goal
11:43 am
is to have an open dialogue about possible problems. the fact that a police fire or is mission may affect light permit as detroit from relations with the police and 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 decline club owner on one hand because 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 of hellish. we had the club commission policy. mike is 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 pre if drugs would be even the police can't claim that we can solve the drug problem. we need
11:44 am
strong evidence to justify the charge that drugs are being sold or 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 $58.00 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 30 years. tourist the come to berlin for the clubs also spend money on accommodations, meals, transportation, and shopping. these facts is combined bring in revenues of around 1.4, right, 1000000000 euros was in 1000000000 and foster sentence over britain. we have to
11:45 am
face the fact here that the city of berlin does not have margin and had to use like you are, lynn has the government and it has culture. and that's it. from frankfurt, munich from hamburg, shoot, 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, route and fire, which along with night life and techno have lent berlin. it's big, his countrymen, coolest, and most spectacular expression on techno vener. totes, through groups to inspect our calisto formal from frederick colombo. 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 the smithsonian had i and my usa, we cannot afford to under estimate the economic down which is vital for been in one
11:46 am
day. we meet liquidity and we need people to come here to appreciate their calling . so engaged with that is a start for she personally, i would be a bit reluctant to call it a dependency, and it's really more of an interdependence. as, as even interview, the clubs, the needs within of glen, all the stuff out the ticket guy he operating as normal. yeah. and so the city if the and then needs to come 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 with sysco foods. i actually just took part of a pell and then it felt like my rib cage had closed up. and i felt like i couldn't
11:47 am
breathe some swiss. 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 are also 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. with one thing i have seen before, for example, is that especially women are just dropped in some front room or maybe they're not
11:48 am
feeling there. well, maybe they have to throw up, 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 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 bond 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 is absolutely sanford from club since 2018 the drug prevention project. so not taken it upon itself to make night life in
11:49 am
berlin. 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 and 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 a club, co parralis not to leave the club staff is of course very important for athens assisting a player, very important partners either because they to have a very, very crucial responsibility. concent hide and hum via in offense. they have
11:50 am
a duty to care for their guests leases, and of course 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 gush mocha. the project is facilitated by rime and wrenches from the berlin club commission, other than not really fast food from sleep. when i looked on them, of course we would like to see all clubs participating in these prevention program often are the 2 i feel bad enough about the fact is that we are still operating in illegal territory, which i've often kind of mentioned lie. you cannot expect everybody to happily accept that activities are happening on business premises that could have legal consequences for them. i'm pissed off in the officer. 11th, i'm couldn't participating in the program is voluntary from the clubs, so far, so north, coordinating regularly with 15 clubs, 15 out of a 120 and even just getting there. it's been
11:51 am
a long process. the oldest nervous ones as union does yet so much for denita. le, we've seen for many years that we, the netherlands, switzerland, from austria, land and some other european regions. and countries, at least, were met with resistance to new methods. mother was there still a bit controversial and haven't yet been fully tested in practice poxel. there isn't yet enough evidence to prove their effectiveness. the visa see bookish. i'm absolute wilson's m m m r plus we have a federalist structure here in germany, which should actually enable this above to another. or then people inevitably want to pass it to the federal level again, of people. the problem there is survive. there's no real framework and we're kind of meeting 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 per coin shows to the night of partying on drugs can in the worst case also, and fatally some target or 5 can in marcia,
11:52 am
most most of the guts, 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 drug. 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 and badly, essentially, and he mentioned you an ac. when someone buys an ecstasy template, 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 own life and deal as it i can yell and de la does blow from him at the end of the school, just off, cindy beth, and the sort of wish i'm can i, by to thailand rafeely to go out systems or men, not to this fight, who has duluth often that always does it, joe? does it said her 1st dental hollis. if a dish limit added,
11:53 am
