1 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,440 I want to do something physical. 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,840 I have a match. -Yes, it's a match. 3 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,520 Hi, I'm Nellie. -And I'm Dzifa. 4 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,400 Welcome to... -Our Drugslab. 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,720 Twice a month we test a drug to see how it affects our body. 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,080 If you're curious about a certain drug you want to see... 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,560 or if you want us to trip or space at a particular location... 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,880 let us know in the comments. 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,240 But today we're staying in our old familiar lab. 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,480 Vishnevsky, Jelbaru Turay... 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,680 William Johansson and DDalDay... -Were all curious about... cocaine. 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,320 They want to see you try cocaine. 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,960 Cocaine is a white powder that can be snorted. 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,960 It comes from the coca plant, which grows in South America. 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,520 Cocaine is extracted from the leaves through a chemical process. 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,560 A coca plant leaf contains about 0.1 to 0.9 percent cocaine. 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,720 My zero values are on the board. -Your heart rate is going to shoot up... 18 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,000 because coke is a stimulant. -There's no safe dose of cocaine. 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,560 But obviously the more you take the more the risks increase. 20 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,720 It's common that people cut one gram of cocaine into 15 to 20 lines. 21 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,360 That equals 50 mg per line. 22 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:46,160 Our coke has a purity of 72 percent. The maximum purity is 89 percent. 23 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,720 Cocaine is always cut with something. Our coke is cut with levamisole. 24 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,800 That's used by veterinarians to treat parasitic worm infections. 25 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,680 It's not directly harmful, but over time it can decrease your immunity. 26 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,120 It's still rubbish. The drug gets less pure as it goes from dealer to dealer. 27 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,680 But there are also dealers who cut it with detergent or other shit. 28 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,640 So always have your cocaine tested. You never know what it may contain. 29 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,520 I find it quite intense. 30 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:26,640 I've noticed that it's often used in the Amsterdam club scene. 31 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,440 I sometimes wonder if people are aware of the story behind it. 32 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,240 People have been chewing on coca leaves for 5000 years. 33 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,240 At a certain point, there was a man, Albert Niemann... 34 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,800 who managed to extract cocaine from the leaves. 35 00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:48,760 For the Incas the coca plant was a very sacred plant. 36 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,560 It takes three minutes to kick in, so we'll see the effects quickly. 37 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,880 It lasts about 30 minutes. 38 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,440 So short it's hardly worth it. -That's really absurd. 39 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,400 This will be intense. What's going to happen? 40 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,640 60 percent of the cocaine is absorbed by your nasal mucosa. 41 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,960 The remaining 40 percent goes via your oesophagus into your stomach... 42 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200 and is then absorbed by your blood stream. 43 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,560 Cocaine influences the neurotransmitters in your brain. 44 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,320 These substances produce dopamine and noradrenaline. 45 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,600 You're familiar with dopamine. That's released when you go jogging... 46 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,040 or when you eat dark chocolate. That produces a 'happiness hormone'. 47 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600 Noradrenaline regulates your fight or flight system. 48 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,800 That's what happens when you're in stress and ready to run. 49 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:59,400 It's bizarre that it kicks in so quickly. You can see it happen live on camera. 50 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,920 You're staring at me. -I'm looking at your face. 51 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040 Can you see the effects? 52 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Do you feel anything? -I feel worked up, but that's not chill. 53 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,640 That's how I normally feel and I always have to tone it down a bit. 54 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,120 I've noticed that sometimes I'm too talkative and over-excited. 55 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,720 And now with cocaine, I can no longer hold it back. 56 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:37,840 When I have the urge to touch things, I tell myself not to do it, but now... 57 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,960 I can already feel... that I won't be able to stop myself. 58 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,480 I want to do something physical. 59 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,280 I'd be really good at closing tonnes of envelopes or something now. 60 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200 Or type something really fast. 61 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,000 That's not weird, because lots of people in the business world are addicted... 62 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,320 because it gives such an energy boost and allows you to really focus on work. 63 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,920 Do you have a job for me? -I have a job for you. 64 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:16,600 Our amazing lab is at our disposal. Arrange these items from small to large. 65 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,840 Stop the clock. -Two minutes, 15 seconds. 66 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,000 Now you have to put it all back in place. Do you remember where it all goes? 67 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,480 It's all wrong, but I was fast. -That's true. You were really fast. 68 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,600 Were you afraid to make mistakes? -No. It was nice to focus on a task. 69 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,640 I can feel movement in my bowels. -Really? 70 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,480 I think I'll be able to take a nice... -Crap. 71 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,960 I could go now. -It's an actual side effect, so is peeing. 72 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,080 I can feel that too. I can feel it all flowing down. 73 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:07,560 It's good that you mentioned it. Cocaine increases the tension on your bowels. 74 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,600 It makes you feel like you need to crap. -Now I need to go more than before. 75 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,640 You can go if you want. -I will. 76 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,040 Everything for science, guys. 77 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,520 45 minutes have gone by now. 78 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,840 My energy level went like this and now I'm here. 79 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,040 It's fine, because that's where I started, but I want to go like this again. 80 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,080 It's silly, your initial feeling was fine, but coke makes you want to return to it. 81 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,240 Cocaine is very addictive, especially psychologically... 82 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,840 because you get cravings to experience that rush and kick again... 83 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,000 or the energy to keep on working. You can also get withdrawal symptoms. 84 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,240 These are the physical effects of quitting or taking less of a drug. 85 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,280 With cocaine these include melancholy and depression. 86 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,640 I think it's scary that you can do this without other people noticing it... 87 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,280 but meanwhile, it's a very intense substance. 88 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,520 Lots of people take cocaine for the social aspect... 89 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,760 so they become more confident, more talkative and feel cooler. 90 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,920 That gave us a great idea. You're single, right? 91 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,200 That's right, but I'm looking. 92 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:28,200 So we thought it'd be a great idea to create a dating profile for you. 93 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,360 Here are two lines of 25 mg. -That's correct. 94 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,680 You should wait at least 30 minutes before taking seconds... 95 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,640 to be sure that the effects of the previous lines have worn off. 96 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,520 95 percent of people who do coke, do this in combination with alcohol. 97 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,320 That's bizarre. -That's really a lot. 98 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,560 People almost always drink alcohol when they do coke. 99 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,840 That's even more detrimental than just cocaine use... 100 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,560 When you mix cocaine and alcohol your body produces cocaethylene. 101 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,200 It's very detrimental to the liver and puts more stress on the heart. 102 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,320 What you see is that when people drink alcohol... 103 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,280 they lose their inhibitions and then they do coke. 104 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,160 And then next time they think: 'I won't do coke again'. 105 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,080 But when they drink and lose their inhibitions... 106 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,360 it's hard not to order coke again. 107 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,080 Then they call the dealer and they're hooked. 108 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,440 It's a web you can get entangled in. That's what scares me. 109 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,640 We're talking about the intense consequences of coke... 110 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,480 just before you're about to do it. We have a fun test I'm curious about. 111 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,880 You're going to take seconds so that you're at your peak again. 112 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,680 Dzifa is about to create a dating profile. 113 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,600 It says: My best photo. Go ahead and make a selfie. 114 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,400 Maybe I should add the heart to influence the subconsciousness. 115 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,960 What's my best side? 116 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,960 You're making me nervous, because you're looking at me. 117 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,400 Maybe I should do a bit more of this. Yes, that's it. 118 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,880 What do you like about yourself? -I like my hairdo at the moment. 119 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,800 I like it that my eyes are black, just like a teddy bear. 120 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,480 And my teeth, straight and white. 121 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,160 About me: 'Hi, I'm Dzifa, a cheerful, 23 year old woman who is always busy. 122 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,480 I have a good taste in music and I'm a great cook. 123 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,800 If I love you, I'm always there for you. Bad energies stay far away.' 124 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240 What do you think? -It's great. 125 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,640 Oh, here are the men. No. No. No. 126 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:56,280 He's cute. Should I hit 'like'? -Check if he has more photos. 127 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,080 You become less picky. -I have a match. 128 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720 Yes, we have a match. -Finally. Henk. 129 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,800 'Hey Henk', you don't hear that name too often. 130 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,840 A typical Dutch name, but whatever. 131 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,360 'Sorry, but I'm at work. I'll send you a message later, okay?' 132 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,880 I'm also at work. -But this is not the same. 133 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,720 I was looking forward to this, but now I think it's too much fuss. 134 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,560 The reason I haven't created a profile is because I don't want to be judged... 135 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:37,800 but now I'm not preoccupied with that. I'm focused on judging them now. 136 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,520 You hear all these stories about coke, which make you think: 137 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,560 Golly, you get more energy for half an hour and then it's over. 138 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,000 I think it's the same as with cigarettes. 139 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,920 When you do it, you feel you need it, especially when you go out. 140 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,040 But when you test it in a boring lab... 141 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,760 you realise that there's not much to it. You just feel a bit more energetic. 142 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,640 It's a selfish drug. I'm curious if you're going to contact Henk... 143 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,920 but we'll find that out in the day after video. 144 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520 It's a day later. I feel like my old self again. 145 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,440 Yesterday, I had a dry mouth all day. 146 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:23,960 I didn't sleep too well at night. 147 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,720 I could feel that my body wasn't feeling entirely 100 percent. 148 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,240 I felt energetic when I was active on Tinder. That was fun. 149 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,400 But considering that I didn't feel great yesterday during the day and evening... 150 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,040 I'm going to stick with coffee next time, but now I know what it's like. 151 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,800 Thanks for watching. If you have any ideas for a new drug or location... 152 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,560 let us know in the comments. Until next time. Bye.
