Getting High Injecting Snake Venom

[Mave]

Vice delivers a great documentary again. Really worth a watch.

We met with a guy who's been injecting himself with snake venom for 20 years and he looks better than ever.

The basic principle - laid out by pioneer herpetologist, Bill Haast, who died last year at the age of 100 - is that regular exposure to the venom results in the body developing an immunity. Steve claims to not only never get ill, but that cobra venom is the ultimate pick me up, with effects lasting a days after injecting, making Steve stronger, faster and more resilient. Finally it looks like mainstream scientific research might be catching up.

What the actual fuck, would never do this.

I dunno, a drug with long lasting effect that doesn't have any apparent side effects? Sounds good to me.

Well if the liver damage doesn't actually result in something then I'm in.
