Keith Allen to take drugs on live TV

[mashman]

Keith Allen is set to take drugs on live TV as part of an experimental Channel 4 show, according to reports.

Lily Allen's dad is said to be among a number of celebrities who have signed up for 'Drugs Live', which will assess and monitor the ways in which drugs affect people.

A source told The Sun that 'Keith has a history of drug use and knows very well the highs and lows'.

“He agreed to take part because he thinks Channel 4's show is an important forum for looking at what it means to take drugs - and the effects they have,” they added.

“He can't wait to get stuck in. Who knows what might happen?”

The show will feature people taking drugs including ecstasy and cocaine in a clinical environment and under medical supervision.

Members of the clergy, policemen and politicians are also reportedly among those who may take part in the show.

Channel 4's specialist factual commissioning editor David Glover said: “Viewers will be able to see for themselves the actual effects the drugs have in scientific detail.

“We will work closely with the leading research institutes from across the world. The aim is to bring new clarity to the facts of illegal drug use.” [The Sun]

Judging by what you post here, you take far too many drugs already.

Not much fun sitting in a sterile room and hoovering a rail or popping a disco biscuit.

I'm expecting empirical scientific evidence that coke really does turn normal people into complete wankers.

I've been straighter than I care to mention for the last year, give or take... what's your excuse

It'll be interesting to see what tests they provide. Probably a driving simulator which could be fun if they've cranked the stereo and they've been poppin disco biscuits. It'll be as boring as fuck watchin the coke heads. Wonder if they'll be droppin any Aceeeed.

You just threw that in to catch all the young 'uns didn't you?

The show itself has the potential to backfire. Well, kind of. It will confirm what most illicit drug users will know, that it is relatively harmless and in fact a bloody good time can be had. I have had a few goes at trying to get the words right but can't, I blame an 18 year old legal drug from the banks of the river Spey, so here is Bill Hicks. You only need to watch the first minute, but for those who are anti and haven't actually any experience I would recommend watching the whole thing. With an open mind, if that is possible.
