I just watched
this one last night. It's a drug documentary about heroin in Wales (should be names 'Whales' after seeing some of the characters on there) and is done by
Vice.
Cant help but feel sorry for some of those people. Some of them are in a right state. The blonde girl, Amy, couldnt have had a much worse start in life, cant really blame her for needing to be constantly totally wasted. But what a fuckin mess she's in.
I've been wondering for a while why some people who use hard drugs often, and you wouldnt really know, as they look OK, like a couple of the guys on that show, the guy who said he'd been using since he was 18 and now 22, and had short brown hair, the one who said 'you could pass me in the street and i dont look like a stereotypical drug user, or a dodgy bastard'. He was right about that. But that guy who looked a bit like a young Jean Claude Van Damme on crack and smack, you could tell he was a hard drug user. Some of the others just looked a fuckin mess and wasted the whole time, but underneath all that, they wouldnt have looked too bad - if they sobered up, had a shower, put on some better clothes.
Then you get the stereotypical image of a heroin addict like this one

Although I'm sure ive seen those pictures before in the 'before and after effects of Methamphetamine' that The Sun ran with a while ago.
Mainly I want to try to make sure I dont start looking like that. (So far I dont think I look too bad/too much of an obvious druggy. Apart from the times when Im obviously wasted that is. I know in the city I live there's plenty of people who arent shy of giving you their opinion of what you look like/how you're acting, and I've only been called a "crackhead" once, and a "wreckhead" once. I've never taken Crack, but yeah I am a 'wreckhead' lol)
