Hello ,
From Heavy Metal (Non-Anime though!) ;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_(film)
“So Beautiful, So Dangerous: based on original art and story by Angus McKie. A scientist (Dr. Anrack) arrives at the Pentagon for a meeting about mysterious mutations that are plaguing the United States. At the meeting, the doctor tries to dismiss the occurrences, but when he sees the green stone (Loc-Nar) in the buxom stenographer’s (Gloria) locket, he starts behaving erratically, goes berserk, and attempts to sexually assault her. In the sky above, a colossal starship with a smiley face design breaks through the roof with a transport tube and sucks up the berserk doctor and by accident, Gloria. The ship’s robot is irritated at Anrack, who is actually a malfunctioning android, but his mood changes when Gloria arrives. Surprisingly Gloria is not shocked at being sucked up by the ship and instead is annoyed by the encounter, commenting “who is going to pay for my dry cleaning?” With the help of the ship’s alien pilot and co-pilot, the robot convinces Gloria to stay on board and talks her into having “robot” sex. She even reluctantly agrees to marry him (provided they have a Jewish wedding). Meanwhile, the crew snort a massive amount of plutonian nyborg and fly home completely >>stoned<<, zoning out on the cosmos and passing space junk. Too stoned to fly straight, they crash land in a huge space station, though they think it was a nice landing. "
Try the film done in RotoScope entitled "A Scanner Darkly" with Keanu Reeves , Wynonna Ryder and Robert Downey Jr. deals with the abuse if a drug known as "Substance D " ;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly_(film)
"In the future "seven years from now," America has lost the war on drugs. A highly addictive and debilitating illegal drug called Substance D, made from a small blue flower, has swept across the country. In response, the government develops an invasive, high-tech surveillance system and puts in place a network of informants and undercover agents."
If you liked "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" you'll probably like the book "A Scanner Darkly" written by Philip K. Dick ;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly
"The protagonist is Bob Arctor, member of a household of drug-users, who is also living a parallel life as Agent Fred, an undercover police agent assigned to spy on Arctor's household. Arctor/Fred shields his true identity from those in the drug subculture, and from the police themselves. (The requirement that narcotics agents remain anonymous, to avoid collusion and other forms of corruption, becomes a critical plot point late in the book.) While supposedly only posing as a drug user, Arctor becomes addicted to "Substance D" (also referred to as "Slow Death," "Death," or "D"), a powerful psychoactive drug derived from a small blue flowering plant, Mors ontologica. An ongoing conflict is Arctor's love for Donna, a drug dealer through whom he intends to identify high-level dealers of Substance D. Arctor's persistent use of the drug causes the two hemispheres of his brain to function independently, or "compete". Through a series of drug and psychological tests, Arctor's superiors at work discover that his addiction has made him incapable of performing his job as a narcotics agent. Donna takes Arctor to "New-Path," a rehabilitation clinic, just as Arctor begins to experience the symptoms of Substance D withdrawal. It is revealed that Donna has been a narcotics agent all along, working as part of a police operation to infiltrate New-Path and determine its funding source. Without his knowledge, Arctor has been selected to penetrate the secretive organization."

Does BSL Open Pandora’s Box?
Question by HadesTheDobe: Does BSL open Pandora’s Box?
I’m not a supporter of breed specific legislation because I don’t think it accomplishes anything and I think the “problem breeds” are not really a problem at all. Take the “Pit Bull” for example. There are 5 million plus registered “Pit Bulls in the United States and another 5 million plus unregistered “Pit Bulls” in the United States bring the total number to 10 million plus “Pit Bulls” at any given time in this country. Of those 10 million, there are on average 11 “Pit Bull related deaths per year. That is hardly an epidemic. 11 out of 10 million of anything would be a huge success especially when you think of how many of those 10 million are owned by complete morons.

What Does “After 2 Days” the Doctor Told Me, Mean?
Question by What’s on my mind…: What does “after 2 days” the doctor told me, mean?
I have to take 3 pills, let’s say take one today, he told me I should take the next one “after 2 days” and the next one, a week from then.
“after 2 days” does it mean I should let 1 whole day pass without taking it and take the pill the second day or let 2 whole days pass and take the pill the 3d day???

Answer by Friend in Need
Wait 24 hours before taking the next pill to avoid overdose and drug abuse. For example, you take one pill on Monday at 3pm, you can then take the next on Wednesday at 3pm, or later, but not too much longer, or the medicine will lose effect.
