In this video Nellie Benner tries alcohol (ethanol) to see what this does to her body in a Japanese karaoke bar. This well-known drug results into rowdy behaviour. USE: Are you about to have some drinks this weekend? Keep the following things in mind: - Per alcoholic beverage, drink one glass of water. - Take enough rest before and after drinking alcohol. And take some extra vitamin B. - Drink alcohol for fun, not to suppress problems. - Combining alcohol with other drugs, medicines or participation in traffic is very dangerous. - It takes your body 1/1,5 hour to break down one glass of alcohol. DOSE: The volume of a glass is adapted to the type of alcoholic beverage. So you get the same amount of alcohol per glass. One glass of alcohol contains 12 millilitres of alcohol, which is equal to 10 grams. It is recommended to keep it at a maximum of 2 glasses of alcohol per day. Preferably with at least 2 consecutive alcohol-free days. RISKS: - Hangover - Alcohol poisoning - Black out - Naussea and vomit - Gain weight - Addiction

In this video Dzifa Kusenuh tries out 2C-B for the first time to see what effect it has on her body. 2C-B is an psychedelic drug. Dzifa no longer understands anything at all.

Take some vitaminC, dextrose or some sweet drinks. DOSE: The dose depends on the desired trip and the strength of your pill. A low dose (5-15mg) gives you an euphoric and energetic effect.

USE: - You can eat truffles, smoke (only if they are dried), tea draw or even soup. - It makes no sense to use two days straight truffles. Your body develops tolerance. - Most users wait several weeks or months before they plan a new trip, so the experience is special.

So make sure you either sit or lay down when you use ketamine. - Keep in mind that the after-effects can last up to 2 to 3 hours. - In case of a (too) high dose, you may end up in a K-hole. We strongly discourage this. DOSAGE: The dose depends on the desired effect. If you snort ketamine, we advise to start with a dose between 20 milligrams and 50 milligrams. First time? Start with 20 milligrams and wait for at least 15/20 minutes to see what kind of effect you experience. RISKS: - K-hole (possible upward of 100 milligrams); - Ketamine has an anaesthetic effect, so you might injure yourself without noticing it; - Nausea and vomiting; - Disorientation and reduced motor skills; - Possible kidney and bladder problems; - Addiction.

In this episode Bastiaan Rosman snorts speed (amphetamine) in a club. He experiences it completely different than in the lab.

This will only increase the length of the trip. - Don’t combine speed with other drugs and/or alcohol. DOSAGE: - The strength of amphetamine varies, which makes it hard to dose. - Depending on your experience, the way of using it and the strength of the speed, 5 to 40 milligrams is a usual dose.

Make sure to rest enough in a cooler area and drink up to 2 glasses of water in one hour; - Increased risk of heart problems; - Brain damage; - Addiction; - Physical problems; - Hangover

In this video Nellie Benner, Bastiaan Rosman and Dzifa Kusenuh celebrate Christmas based on your comments. Bastiaan AND Dzifa use MDMA together to see what the various comments do to them. USE: When taking MDMA powder or “crystals”, the user licks small amounts of the substance from a wet finger. This way, the dose can slowly be increased. Another option is to put the powder in a capsule or to roll it in cigarette paper (creating a “bomb”) and then to swallow it. Very occasionally MDMA powder is snorted and it can also be smoked, but this almost never happens. MDMA can damage your tooth enamel; if you dissolve the powder in a drink or lick it up, you increase the chance of damaging your teeth. DOSE: A recreational dose is between 1 and 1.5 mg MDMA for each kilogram body weight per occasion (or between 0.4 and 0.7 mg MDMA for each pound body weight). This means that when you weigh 60 kg (or 130 pounds), a recreational dose would be between 60 and 90 mg MDMA for the whole evening. Does your tablet contain more than 180 mg MDMA? In that case, a half tablet (or two times a quarter tablet with at least one and a half hour in between) should be enough for the desired effect. If you take more, you will especially experience more unwanted effects like jaw tension, forgetfulness, confusion and nausea. Of course the use of MDMA is never without risks, but if you follow this advice you can limit the risks and side effects as much as possible. RISKS: - Overheating (hyperthermia) - Water intoxication (hyponatremia) - Serotonin syndrome (serotonin poisoning) - Higher risk of heart problems (cardiovascular disease) - Epileptic seizure - Acute confusional state - Liver damage - Psychological symptoms / hangover

This episode Nellie Benner drinks San Pedro made from the San Pedro cactus. She ends up in an emotional rollercoaster and runs into her innocent self. USE: San Pedro can be used in different ways. Traditionally the pieces are cooked for a long time with some added herbs. When consuming the cactus in dried form it is important to chew slowly until the pieces turn into a fine pulp to prevent stomach problems. It is also possible to make tea out of the cactus: boil the pieces for two to three hours on a low heat and add fruit juice or honey. The taste can be really foul, so keep in mind that the person drinking it can simply not swallow the tea. Make sure not to eat anything six hours before use. DOSE: For a cactus with an average length of 15-20 cm and an average diameter of 3.5 cm one to one and a half cactus is enough for a light to average trip. Two to two and a half cactus will deliver a strong trip. The amount of active substance (mescaline) in the San Pedro cactus can vary enormously per cactus, so it is difficult to determine the right dosage. Therefor start with taking half of the prepared portion and wait an hour until the effects are known. Taking more can be useful: the trip can become stronger and you will have to wait longer for the effect. RISKS: - Nausea. - Coloured hallucinations. - Anxiety. - Confusion. - Suspiciousness. - Inability to distinguish reality from trip. - Psychosis.

In this video Dzifa Kusenuh tries out GHB to see what effect it has on her body. GHB is an psychoactive drug. Bastiaan and Dzifa talk about the risks of passing out out with GHB.

DOSAGE: GHB is difficult to dose. The dosage depends on - Your experience; - Your stomach content; - Your sensitivity to GHB; - The concentration of the GHB. The maximum strength of GHB is 650 milligrams per millilitre. Always test your GHB and never take more than 2.5 millilitres (half a tube) at once (one tube contains 5 millilitres). RISKS: - GHB is highly addictive; - Passing out because of a high dosage (or when you combine GHB with other drugs); - Sexual deprivation; - Trembling, nausea, vomiting, dizziness; - Confusion; - Memory loss; - Brain damage.
