**** SPOILERS **** At the beginning I thought this was a Docu-drama then suddenly realised it was real life! A really interesting story about a guy who was married very young (~18) had 4 kids got divorced and then in mid-life (crisis) found Ecstacy.
Anyone who has used E can fully understand the allure. He was so in love with the drug he even shared the experience with his children of 13/15 & 18. We can't draw arbitrary lines in the sand BUT 13/15 is far too young to experiment with any drugs.
It's interesting that he has a passion for "Cats in the Cradle" as the lyrics aren't far from his current position albeit for different reasons.
In all I really enjoyed this documentary but the idea of allowing such young children to experiment with drugs even once (any drugs including alcohol and tobacco) is stupidity and irresponsible to the extreme. His heart was in the right place but his son made much more sense than him in that respect.
I did find the brain scan laughable though ... you have a brain of a 45 year old ... oh please!! There has never been any evidence of this kind except maybe the US Government sponsored study which was later de-bunked as total nonsense.
All in all it's not so far from the truth and a pretty well balanced look at Ecstacy use ... although I hope a very rare instance where children are concerned.
Party On! ;)
