Aah, but the question here is 'would you have done it if you hadn't read Bluelight?' Chicken & egg?
Or perhaps: Would you have done it as safely without BL?

The diamorphine cigarettes - which weren't actually all that effective - were part of an eclectic drug menuoffered by the Wirral clinic when it was under the control of Dr John Marks. You can google him for the basics of what's quite a complicated story. Like all attempts in the last 45 years to give UK addicts a full prescription base, it didn't last long. The controversial Dr Marks emigrated to a job in New Zealand and his regime is remembered as a lost golden age by many old Merseyside survivors.
Me included in them Charlie. Used to take my mates mum up there every week for a few of her cigs. They got stopped been prescribed to people in St. Helens because a stop and search uncovered marked cigs (prescribed to someone else) in lots of people's possessions (me included). Then what followed was everyone who was scripted smack cigs doors going through, and the clinic been told that clients were selling them.
I used to fuckin love them, I used to make spiffs out of them and fall asleep in the park. Ahhhh happy days....take me back

Ta for that snippet of social history, thattoh. Diamorphine is famously difficult to smoke and I'm not sure they totally solved the problem. Can see how it'd be a temptation for the more hardcore user to make a couple of quid and a treat for your youthful self. What did your mum and her mates think of them? Do you know what happened to their scripts after the change of management?
