Bullshot: Snorting powder for an “instant energy boost” – Legal in Lebanon

Bullshot Energy PowderThe health ministry on Thursday cautioned that the Bullshot snuff powder is harmful to humans and warned against using the energy product or selling it. Fears rose in Lebanon that the “Bullshot” energy powder would encourage young people to take drugs. Health Minister Mohammed Jawad Khalife accused the importer of Bullshot of selling an unlicensed drug.

Khalife, in remarks published by daily As-Safir on Thursday denied that the importer of Bullshot has a license from the health ministry to sell the product in the market. The Bullshot importer company in Lebanon has claimed that the product was being legally sold in the Lebanese market.

Bullshot, made from Guarana powder, is the first and only energy product in the Middle East that is sniffed, the company website says. It “gives instant sensation of energy boost from the first sniff,” it said.

The “Bullshot Kit”, which includes a chromed sniffer, 9 grams of Bullshot powder filled in a plastic container, and metal filling device, are sold for $40 according to the company website. (Naharnet)

    اوضحت وزارة الصحة في بيان اليوم انها تابعت تحقيقاتها بموضوع مستحضر “بولشوت” ليتاكد انه مضر بالصحة.
    وحذرت الوزارة من إستخدامه واستعماله وتسويقه تحت طائلة المسؤولية.
    ولفتت الى انه عند مراجعة المستندات في الدائرة المعنية في وزارة الصحة العامة تبين ان صاحب العلاقة لم يتقدم في طلب الحصول على إذن استيراد أو… تسجيل لهذاالمستحضر ولم يحصل عليه بأي شكل من الأشكال.
    وشددت على ان البيانات الجمركية تبين ان المستورد أدخل البضائع الى لبنان تحت عنوان مواد محلية أو بدل عن التبغ مستندا الى تقرير خبير كيميائي شرعي في هذا المجال

    i feel sorry for the narrow minded society……10 years from now, everybody will welcome products such as Bullshot…there is no doubt about that……it is shame how ignorance of some poeple can destroy reputation of others……Gallileh when he said that the world is round, they wanted to hang him…..
    i feel sorry for everyone who is against this idea….you all were easy manipulated by the Media.

    i have seen such products many times in Europe and USA…and the government support such products as they believe that this can stop drug addiction for many poeple…..

    Tony do you work for the company? and what a twisted manipulation of believing you have to SNIFF crap in order to stop drug addiction..This is money making campaign targeting young people..it’s all BULLS**T

  • Nazih massoud

    Tony,you should be sorry for your self.I bet, you had some BULLSHOT BEFORE calling the society narrow minded.You must be out of your mind by comparing GALLILEH to BULLSHOT.This is insulting to GALLILEH.We’r not manipulated by the MEDIA you’r easily carried away and using the foot step of the wests as shallow idea to justify the use of BULLSHOT.Plus ,where did you come up with that:USA government supports such product? I have been living in USA most of my life and the government never support such thing.DALAL could be right.This could be campaign to sell BULLSHOT and young people are easy target.And i have feeling that you never been in EUROPE OR USA.For you to say that you’ve seen BULLSHOT in the west is a propaganda to convince people for such product.

  • Tony Yehya

    Nazih , i am not trying to convince anyone in this product, and i have nothing to do with this company….all what i am saying is that sniffing is not something that new, and it really shouldn’t be related to drug….man google the snuff and you can see how old is the concept….there was time where only the rich poeple used to sniff smokeless tobacco (like Nappoleon) and the poor poeple smoke.

    i really find it strange how you guys are against this idea where its ingredients are not harmful as teh minister of health stated, and you don’t mind sitting in a restaurant where everyone around you is smoking !!!!!!!….did you know that smoking is the number one cause of death worldwide???? and still you can find cigarette in any store!!!!!….if you think Bullshot or any other drug-free snuff is encouraging the youth to take drug, well think again, drug can not be found anywhere, and you have to have great connection to get drug, while you can get your number one cause of death (cigarette) from any store nearby you…..heheheh….it is weird how poeple just react exactly as the media want them to…..

    remember when Chevas Regal was banned from the market because they claimed it was sahyouniyyeh and comes from Israel, and each and every Lebanese citizen was against Chevas Regal……then suddendly we found out that Chevas is again sold in the market…..what the fuck guyss???? it is not from Israel anymore???? walla fi elo daher yalli jeba???? heheheh…..i bet enno 2 or 3 years from now chi eben neyeb aw wazir will introduce similar product (to bullshot) to the Lebanese market…..
    guys all i am saying just don’t be fooled by what the Media says…..all they do is manipulating us.

    by the way Dalal, by sniffing something healthy you can get rid of your drug addiction…have you ever heard about “Placebo effect”?…you should read more psychology…it is a proven theory my friend.

    Nazih, if you doubt that snuff is popular in USA, go to mrsnuff.com….

    yalla have a nice day guys….

  • Dalal

    God created our noses to smell and breathe, and created our mouths to eat and drink for survival..So Tony why on earth would you want to sniff crap that cost 40 US$ while you can enjoy a cup of coffee with a biscuit and will give you the same result..Its a logic argument isnt it!!

    Regarding this ‘Placebo effect’ I dont support this theory and in psychology you everyone can create a world full of analysis,question and explanation marks..

    This is very sleazy way of extracting money from the young and the rich..I believe for that money many would prefer buying heroin or cocaine ..God forbid.

    I think everyone bears responsibility and should discourage the campaign for such crazy and rediculous product..
    Encourage sports and education man

    Only the backwards people of Lebanon would reject such a product. If you don’t want to do it, fine, but don’t stop others. When are stupid countries in the Middle East going to understand how the word TOLERANCE. Guarana is non-addicting. You want to fix some health and social problems, ban addicting substances like tobacco and coffee you retards.

    Well go buy cocaine since you’re such a modern person.. we are happy with our backward middle east..
