the case raises questions. a look back enjoying the night life has always played a major role in the metropolis of berlin. the techno scene, 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 euphoric. the celebrated the beginning of a new attitude to life in the early nineties. as a few more, a few and on the water, when suddenly there were clubs and venues everywhere. jewish procedure 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 stone, you buy a home does what and then you just thought it's not where do i go now within has of amazon and then you hear music coming from sunglass hinton and 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 hummer. and techno provided the perfect party soundtrack, sound that conquered the world with its fast and hypnotic beaks. coming from the u . s. motor city detroit with no lyrics or instruments of any kind. and as did the hippie movement of the sixty's protect, no fans to discovered a new draft to raise their party culture to new highs, ecstasy, ecstasy will take the sea and click no are intertwined with one another that they take no explosion. there was this moment at the beginning of the take no 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 law. the way you let yourself go, it sites brings in the day to define and this try ballistic sense of surrendering for the rhythm that goes along with using drugs with dish team, which was a gipsy,

is off of with warm 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 mr. 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. close, overwrite berlin's mer at the time, confidently declared in 2003. berlin is poor, but sexy. the people who could relate to that were changing the city. my mom, as of i am on i am, my name is as i am on the ranch, is i am 52 years old and, and i am active in various areas of event management to jordan palmer home on to vig brian's ranges has been engaged in night life for many years, these,

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. 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 to 9 for ongoing. how am i gonna own a shrimp 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 for hombre, state groups. these are l s. d strips in out of le various india may tablets, methamphetamine for calmed meat of the classic crystal math. russell 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 page saw it here. the abuse by iga festival off the cannabis and amphetamines like speed. and the 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. most of them a mentor. it's your, are these ones target age groups?

finally, sorts of things exciting and cool up and there's a certain playfulness to it a little 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. commutes within 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 tablets 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 a sister to tighten. i would like to be able to share myself 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. you 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 they're already toner pallets of drugs offered for sale by a messenger services like telegraph and do it quicker in houses co kristy 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, it's pretty amazing to me that all this is even possible. 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 calls. i can call this number and say to 20 minutes or half an hour, a taxi will show up here and 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 bit coin, wallace. i am you interested in a drug dealer office to sell it to you and you set up a meet through private chat up on that. you arrange everything by chat, get the 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. models by curious students, photographers, architects, and designers. many of them take drugs from time to time. that white people want to 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 was come, it's difficult to escape from a certain state of being said to decline. 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 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. cave drawings, short people with mushrooms floating over their heads. even animals indulge in intoxication now and then as to rush because even dolphins, for example, gentle fins get themselves high on half efficient helps anything really kind of young dolphin swim a tougher fish snip at them and then float on front in the water. it can't describe math as anything else, but it high, high. if you click through relevant 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 has loomis versus kind trying to clear the type of environment, loosening them by the sting leader in life. a guy old dad mentioned that their bar order didn't, and he just put on a true order. they're just ready group. it's 5, we're going to need advice. the storm cleanser makes us to yet mankind isn't woman consume knish, stockton condom, the fan admonished. yep. of unless it's happening openly at the bar or something like that to help it's pretty tough to proactively prevent consumption. and i've been, if i then the mouth, my mom club, i don't 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 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 in deutschland, 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 dismissal. 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 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, 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 in germany is asia had in his festa 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 him 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, and this is my name, leman quincy mc announcement or 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 from 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. thanks. it's muslim john to you not to let disciplines and people who want to take drugs do whether

a home or in the club. jennifer didn't take drugs for the 1st time at bullock on 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 is to have an open dialogue about possible problems with a fag for police fire. if miss may affect light permit, as it was 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 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,

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 free of drugs . would be even the police can't claim that we can solve the drug problem. we need strong evidence to justify the charge that drugs are being sold off to you. 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 clubs, 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 bring in revenues of around 1.4, right, 1000000000 euros was in 1000000000 and foster sentence over britain. we have to face the fact here that the city of berlin does not have much and had to use like you are. lynn has the government and it has culture. and that's it. from frankfurt, munich, from hamburg to 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 room fire, which along with night life and techno, have lent berlin. it's be his countrymen, coolest. and most spectacular expression technol. if i know told 2 groups to inspect our calisto formal from free to re 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 this musician had i and my usa, we cannot afford to under estimate the economic effect on which is vital for been in one day. we meet liquidity and we need people to come here to appreciate the thick long is the show and 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 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 with sysco foods. when 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 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 linda. okay. it's came 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 not just dropped in some front room or maybe they're not 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 or 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 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 fine for to from club since 2018 the drug prevention project. so nah, has taken it upon itself to make night life in 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 us cook parallel, it's not too late. the club staff is,

of course, very important for athens that we could play are very important partners either 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, 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 smoker. the project is facilitated by ryman der inches from the berlin club commission, although not really feathered 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 phone with them or not. but the fact is that we are still operating in illegal territory. i wish i've often kind of 100 mentions lie. you cannot expect everybody to happily accept that activities are happening on business premises. that could have legal consequences for them. i'm just officer 11th. i'm

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 as union does yet so much for denita. le, 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. mother was there still a bit controversial and haven't yet been fully tested in practice pox? there isn't yet enough evidence to prove their effectiveness. the visa see bookish . i'm absolute wilson's m m m. o. plus, we have a federalist structure here in germany, which should actually enable this, nobody 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 gadgianno kind of meeting. and so it just gets put on the back burner fates of us of mars that

a sense of the longer punctual the case of jennifer, the american tourist who died of an ecstasy overdose. him per coin shows that a night of partying on drugs can, in the worst case also, and fatally some target 5 can in marcia, 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 hillary, which is just not true, that ecstasy, for example, is now a completely safe drug. and that such things can't happen mostly. and in the end, i have to be very aware that if i take drug handle them, i can end badly, essentially. and he mentioned kiana 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 and life. i'm going to you as it, i can yell and de la does blow from him at the end of the school. just office and

he best opinion. and this would be shank 9 our by to thailand refused to go out. systems or men in that to it is by to has duluth often it always does. it just does it said a fresh dental policy with a dish limit out of when someone wants to try ecstasy for the 1st time. they often don't realize that in recent years, the average concentration of the active ingredient is increased significantly. and the tablets to day a much bigger than they were just 10 years ago. just one tablets can lead to an overdose. and jennifer's case, it was an 11 fold overdose of m. d. m a that let her death. in an interview with the weekly magazine, the spiegel, her husband carlo reported that jennifer taken to ecstasy, tablets and berkeley. viaz throws the newsletter gone. the tourist that comes to the city, but maybe they know a bit about drugs because they already regularly used them at home. then they come here where the drugs may have different qualities, different quantities,

different concentrations and different active ingredients than they're used to. and on and so i think because of this unfortunate ignorance, hundreds of thousands of tragic cases can happen again. and again, i've just learned targeting for income is the death of the young american women and back on an isolated case. in 2018, there were 4 more m d m. i related fatalities in the burden club scene in 2019. there were none. notable as the 3 of the 4 fatalities were, people from other european countries roman sham off who worked as a bartender in berkeley for 8 years is too bewildered what he thinks about jennifer's case. as soon as 1st income, i couldn't imagine something like that happening in that place. i was totally shocked with us with what exactly happened on the night of her death and per kinds ro much remains on clear. i know that's kind of back on for this vehicle. i'm young,
