Chemicals, Caffeine & Everything in Between
Since the dawning of mankind, humans have found a way of enhancing lives with (illicit) substances, both natural and synthetic. Today, chemicals are everywhere – whether its coffee, tea, alcohol, additives, sugar or horse tranquilisers – somebody somewhere is indulging. So, what exactly does this chemical dependency do to us?
This programme explores the pros and cons of different forms, dimensions and perceptions of drug use.
Also, apparently sugar is as addictive as crack. Who'da thunk it? *Sips 11th milkshake*
