As ever there's a story. The photograph itself comes courtesy of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency). Whilst browsing one day, I saw it in the background of a photo of an internal DEA conference and could just about make it out. I immediately understood its value in terms of public awareness.
On contacting them regarding its use, I asked if they would place it into the public domain rather than simply grant permission to reproduce: all content published on a US government website is copyright-free. I was worried that when they saw what I actually wanted it for (inclusion within The Drug Users Bible) they might freak out and retract the permission.
I was somewhat astonished when they immediately agreed, and promptly put it online for me. I placed it in Section 2.5 and it saved me a lot of writing. It’s definitely worth a thousand words. Also, credit where it’s due… for once.
Stay safe.
