NETFLIX PRESENTS Methamphetamine. Philopon.
Also known as crank. It decreases your need for sleep
and makes you fearless. This incredible drug
that literally gets you high was invented during the Pacific War. Japan immediately used this drug
for military purposes. The first ones to get high on this drug
in the history of mankind were kamikaze pilots. They took crank and entered the enemy lines
without any fear. They gave crank to factory workers
to make them work without sleep and gave it to soldiers
to make them become fearless in war. After the war ended, there were many addicts
who couldn't forget the high it gave them. Once the Japanese government
put a ban on crank, Japanese drug dealers turned to Busan,
a nearby city in Korea. During the time when everyone was
determined to work hard for better lives, Japan's need for more factories and Korea's drive toward expanding exports
coincided. That's how the heyday of crank began
