English subtitles for clip: File:Nellie's stamina is put to the test after Kratom - Drugslab.webm

1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,320
I feel fine.
I can feel it. I feel...

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,440
Leave me alone.

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,160
Hi, I'm Nellie.
-And I'm Dzifa.

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,080
Welcome to...
-Our Drugslab.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,160
Every other week we test a drug
to see how it affects our body.

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,800
This week, Marcello...
-Jason...

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,120
Banjopicksandchicks...
-And Irritation...

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,240
...were curious about
the South East Asian drug...

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Kratom.

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,840
This is our kratom. It's a powder.
It has a brown-greenish colour.

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,040
It smells like stale tea.

12
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:46,120
I'm wearing my heart rate meter.
My temperature is fine.

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,120
Kratom is a tropical tree
mostly found in South East Asia.

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,720
There are three kinds of kratom,
distinguishable by the leaf's veins.

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,120
Kratom made from leaves with
white veins has a stimulating effect.

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Kratom made from leaves with
red veins has a numbing effect.

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Kratom with green veins is
a mix of the two. That's what we have.

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,160
This is the so-called Maeng Da kratom.
Translated that means:

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,640
'Pimp-quality kratom.'
-Great.

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,000
You can take kratom in three ways.

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,400
You can chew it, the traditional way,
just like they do in South East Asia...

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,320
but it's very chewy and hard to digest.

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,480
You can smoke it,
but that has no advantages.

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,120
The best way is to pull tea,
which is what we're going to do.

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,440
You need to dissolve 5 to 10 grams
in 100 to 150 ml of water.

26
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,920
The water should be hot but not cooking
and then you stir it.

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,600
Besides your body weight
and how sensitive you are to kratom...

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,000
the dose depends on
the potency of the kratom.

29
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:02,080
A dose of 2 to 5 grams of regular
kratom will cause a euphoric mood.

30
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:09,080
A higher dose of 5 to 25 grams
will have a more numbing effect.

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,720
This will cause you to calm down
and your muscles to relax.

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,240
It helps people to sleep easier.

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,760
This is the more potent variant,
so we need less.

34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:28,560
1 to 2 grams of Maeng Da equals
3 to 5 grams of regular kratom.

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,760
We're starting off with 3 grams to see
if we can achieve that stimulating effect.

36
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,040
If you feel good and confident
you can take another 3 grams...

37
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,360
to reach the next level.
-Sounds like a plan.

38
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Yes, it's still warm enough.

39
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,240
This is to get rid of that nasty taste.
-2 grams.

40
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Okay, I've added 3 grams.
-Let me stir the bottom.

41
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,680
I feel nauseous already.
-I get that.

42
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Shall I drink this over there?
-Go ahead. Enjoy it, girl.

43
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,600
It's really bitter.

44
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:32,240
I understand why people mix this
with orange juice or chocolate milk...

45
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920
because the bitter taste is intense.

46
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Get a hold of yourself.

47
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Kratom contains several
active ingredients, like mitragyna.

48
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Mitragyna is
a so-called opioid antagonist.

49
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,920
That means it affects
the opioid receptors in your brain.

50
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,640
With a low dose, mitragyna stimulates
the delta receptors in your brain...

51
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,040
which is responsible
for the stimulating effect.

52
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,240
When you take more, mitragyna begins
to stimulate the brain's mu receptors.

53
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960
That can cause a numbing effect.

54
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,320
In rare cases, kratom can be
physically and psychologically addictive.

55
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,320
Not much research has been done yet.

56
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,240
I feel fine.
-I've noticed.

57
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,520
You seem happier and more alert.
-Indeed.

58
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,920
It feels the same as having two or three
alcoholic beverages. A bit tipsy.

59
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Has your vision changed or is it...
-It's just how I feel.

60
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Your mood?
-Yes, my mood.

61
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,960
I suddenly feel like doing things.
-Really?

62
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,640
You want to do something,
so we're going to play a game.

63
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,720
You have to set a fast time
with a race game.

64
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,760
And we'll see if you're faster
after taking more kratom.

65
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,080
I'm looking forward to this,
but I don't know how it works.

66
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Press this button.
Go. Now. The race has begun.

67
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,760
You have to press this button.
Now turn. That's it.

68
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,760
You're doing surprisingly well.
-This is fun.

69
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,720
No, no, no. Oh, yeah.

70
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,960
Isn't it intense that the screen moves?
-No, I like it.

71
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,800
It's making me dizzy.

72
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:39,080
I find it difficult to concentrate.
-Yes, that was your fastest lap.

73
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,720
Your time was 2 minutes, 53 seconds.
-I got better as I played.

74
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,680
That's because after one lap
you know what's coming.

75
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,920
It was fun, but I always find
computer games exciting.

76
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,880
The physical effects of kratom,
include a dry mouth.

77
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,760
I have that.
-Okay.

78
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,000
You can feel dizzy or nauseous,
but that usually passes over.

79
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Yes, I felt nauseous when I drank it,
but that quickly passed over.

80
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,840
You need to go to urinate more often.
I haven't noticed that yet.

81
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,880
And it stirs up sexual desires.
Have you noticed that?

82
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Because you feel more comfortable,
your need for affection grows.

83
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:27,960
It's not like I'm soaking
and about to slip off of my chair...

84
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,920
but I feel very at ease with myself,
so I'm more in the mood for sex.

85
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,640
And an important effect, more energy.
-Definitely.

86
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,760
I brought along something fun for that.
Wait a second.

87
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,680
That's a real treadmill.
-A treadmill.

88
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,640
Now we can really test your energy.

89
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,480
Well, off you go.
-Let's go.

90
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,760
I'll set the speed at five.

91
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,720
Everyone at home. Run on the spot.
Here we go. At a brisk pace.

92
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:07,000
You know, it's funny standing here,
but I feel calm.

93
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880
I find this very chill.

94
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600
You don't mind doing this?
-No.

95
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Okay, I've had enough of this.

96
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Really?
-Yes.

97
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Just five seconds to reach
seven minutes and then you're done.

98
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Come on, one final sprint.

99
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,000
I thought it went really well.
You were really up for it.

100
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,880
I didn't have to coach you to go on.
-I enjoyed that actually.

101
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
How do you feel now?
-Great.

102
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,440
I think it's time to take more.
-Let's do that.

103
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,640
If I had done this recreationally,
I would've said: I've had enough now.

104
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,640
You're at 3 grams,
how much more do you want to take?

105
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,000
My gut says to double up.
-So, another 3 grams?

106
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Don't take seconds too quickly,
because it can make you nauseous.

107
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,480
It's important to mention
never to mix kratom with other drugs.

108
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Especially not with MAO inhibitors,
as that can have lethal consequences.

109
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:18,000
We've decided to give it a try with
my favourite drink, chocolate milk.

110
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,360
We're going to see if it tastes better
with chocolate milk.

111
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:29,160
That's enough. I feel sorry for you
that you have to drink this nasty sludge.

112
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Kratom with chocolate milk.
It still smells as nasty as before.

113
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,800
And?

114
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,920
You know what makes it gross now?
It's very sweet and very bitter.

115
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
The last of the sludge.

116
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,760
All gone.

117
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Ten minutes have gone by since
you've taken seconds. How do you feel?

118
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,440
Much calmer.
-Indeed.

119
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,080
You're also talking much slower now.
-That's odd.

120
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,280
A moment ago, I was active and calm,
but now I feel...

121
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,240
I can tell by your eyes, they're...
-That's so bizarre.

122
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,840
It happened really fast.
-I'm not really tired, but suddenly just...

123
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,440
I enjoyed the first effect more.
That was more fun.

124
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:43,240
This is nice if you want to crawl
under the covers, but it isn't fun.

125
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,640
You played a game before. It went well.
54 seconds is the time to beat.

126
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,440
I want to know how fast you are now.
-I wonder if I'll be faster...

127
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,280
because I feel relaxed and focused.

128
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,800
Or that I'll be very slow-minded
and drive slowly.

129
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,080
Deadbeat.
-Go.

130
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,240
I'm more relaxed.

131
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,240
A moment ago
there were all these sounds.

132
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,760
Look, I'm going to make a jump.
-Wow, you're making all the jumps.

133
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,720
I feel like my driving has improved,
but that I'm slower.

134
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,240
You're sort of driving safer.

135
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,160
Two minutes, 47 seconds.
That's faster.

136
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,040
If we were hanging out and you had
such a change in energy, I'd think...

137
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,640
Something's wrong.
-Exactly.

138
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,640
Do you feel like going on the treadmill?
Not really, right?

139
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,320
You stepped onto the treadmill
like an old granny.

140
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,080
I feel really fine,
but I just don't feel like talking.

141
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,120
I don't feel like moving.
Leave me alone.

142
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,800
Come on. Keep going.
-The thing is my eyes keep falling shut.

143
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:21,680
My legs feel ridiculously heavy.
-Forza. Great job.

144
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,760
I'm constantly trying to snap out of it,
but I can't.

145
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,600
Golly, I feel so tired.
-You really need to go to bed.

146
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,320
I wonder if you'll have
a hangover or something tomorrow.

147
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,440
I feel great again.
I was very tired, drowsy and a bit...

148
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,320
I ate well, I slept well.
It's just really intense...

149
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,040
to go from feeling up to feeling...
But besides that I feel great.

150
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:02,480
Guys, doing drugs is never without risk,
so if you do, do it as safely as possible.

151
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,720
