Snorting coke on Dutch telly


On Monday nights on NOS2 (a Dutch public tv station), there is a program called "Spuiten en Slikken" (Literally, "Shooting and Boshing " or "Squirting and Swallowing ") being broadcasted.
It has been controvertial from the start when it was announced on news that someone from the program will be taking hard-drugs on camera.

The first episode contained one reporter (shown above) testing the effect of the 'worst drug', alcohol.
He got pissed with 2 girls in Amsterdam 'kroegen' (bars), puked a couple of times, started throwin beer glasses onto the street and couldn't remember much the next morning. (Was surprised how quickly he got pissed--the girls did better...)
Another guy/reporter went into a bedroom (and on the bed, a Dutch couple) built right next to where panels and presentator are sitting, came out 20 minutes later and declared--'I just had sex!' at which point Sophie the presentator became a bit abashed but really nieuwsgierig (curious).
So i see a task-division here. One guy does drug and the other explores sex---thus the double meaning of the name.

Yesterday, on the second showing, the same dude snorted a couple of lines of coke in his Golf before appearing in front of the audience, and had a discussion. One of the panels, a coke-expert added, somewhat carelessly, that in his experience, drinking alcohol at the same time had maximized his high.

The minister of justice, Mr Donner (kebab anyone?-----sorry....) has shown his concern to the public viewing of hard-drug consumption (obviously).

But to my amazement, the current Dutch drugs law ALLOWS pocession of hard-drugs upto 0.5 grams!!!!! I don't know how many lines you can make out of that, but my friend assures me that that is 'enough'. Of course selling or smuggling is illegal.

I actually missed yesterdays aflevering (episode), but if anyone is interested, here is the link to the last episode (Windows Mediaplayer stream)....enjoy!
