BRAIN-bending jungle drug is bigger menace than crystal meth

A BRAIN-bending jungle drug is set to become a bigger menace than crystal meth on Britain's streets, it was feared last night.
Border guards have intercepted a record £13million haul of DMT - a powerful hallucinogen used by Amazon tribes.
Smokers of the crystals almost immediately suffer intense and often terrifying visions.
Side-effects include paranoia and flashbacks weeks or months later.
The Class-A drug has also been linked to schizophrenia.
It is feared smugglers are now trying to flood the UK - as they have in recent years with deadly methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth.
A senior police source said: "We've never seen quantities of DMT like this. This is clearly the latest drug trend. Dealers have seen big money to be made here."
The UK Border Agency recently intercepted 126 kilos of DMT being smuggled into Britain in 15 parcels from Brazil and Peru. Five found at the postal depot at Coventry Airport were heading for London.
Amazonian spiritual healers have traditionally used vines naturally containing DMT to make sacred brews, which they claim help users experience the afterlife.
Millions of television viewers saw adventurer Bruce Parry's agonising DMT trip in the Amazon on the BBC's Tribe in 2008.
He was violently sick and had nightmares.
The drug extract is broken down into smokeable crystals by South American smugglers. Peter Stoker, of the National Drug Prevention Alliance, said: "We must get a grip on this before it takes hold of our young. DMT is a nasty piece of work.
"Its consumption under the gaze of seasoned tribal leaders in the Amazon is nothing like what a UK novice would experience."
DMT, first seen here in the 1970s, costs up to £100 a gram - twice the value of cocaine because it is so rare. It has been linked to deaths across the world.
In May, Danielle Jacobsen, 17, was found in a pond in Connecticut, US. A coroner cited DMT as a contributory factor to her death.
A Border Agency spokesman said: "We are determined to protect society from an activity which can have such a destructive impact."

Bruce Parry took ayahuasca, which is a mixture of a various plants and usually contains DMT as well other things.
Article sounds like a load of bollocks to me.
There was some other thing in
The Sun recently about a "killer" drug that was coming into the UK and cost 25p a hit.

Some churches in the US have legal permission to distribute it to members and slowly it is gaining more acceptance, but disinfo like this just sets it back. Oh well, it's the Sun I guess.

I never thought I'd live to see the day The Sun published a terrible article and sullied its well earned reputation as a quality newspaper.

We should inform the Sun about the dangers of the one true brain-bending jungle drug known as jenkem and hope they run a story. They obviously don't research so there's a good chance of it being printed.

No harm done really I'm sure. Does anyone really see The Sun as a credible source of information?

incorrect. it is very similar to lsd chemically, and the experience is extremely similar to lsd, except much more intense, and not lasting as long. if you don't think they're the alike it's because you haven't taken a high enough dose of lsd.
