Law and Order SVU -Ibogaine

Did anyone see the Wed nite episode of L&O SVU? Finally a somewhat good message. Wong, the psychiatrist put his job on the line by healing a heroin addict with ibogaine. He knew it was illegal. He and Elliot were talking how dumb it was to be illegal but that the pharm companies don't want people to have access except for the inferior big pharma drugs. I'd imagine they were talking about suboxen. So Wong took the kid to an ibogaine clinic and administered 800 mgs of ibogaine hydrochloride.

Now the silly part was they were saying it "cures" addiction in 48 hours. They also made it sound like the "trip" part was a side effect of the ibogaine instead of one of the main reasons. Also once the kid was healed they needed him to testify against a cult/minister drug dealer. Wong reported himself and had a 30 day suspension of his license for using ibogaine. He was adamant about the positive properties.

I just thought the mention of greedy big pharma on primetime due to an illegal helpful psychedelic was interesting. The message was put forth even with all the silliness surrounding the episode.

Funny enough, the regular Law and Order was on last night. The lieutenant Van Buren has cancer. Her son got her medical marijuana. She was trying to stay within the law and almost didn't want to use it. She couldn't keep food down. But she gave in. So she smokes it at work now. Her boss told her go ahead but stay low key and use mints, it saved him from wasting away when he was on chemo for himself.

What is up with all the good messages on L&O? New writers? Is someone here writing for it now? lol

Saying all the I still miss Lenny Brisco (Jerry Orbach RIP). I loved the show in those days.

Brisco was the best. One of my favorite episodes is when he and Munch from Baltimore Homocide talk about their wives and shit.

On a side note; I can't believe this show is still running. Good job.
