can be from a good home and end up in despair absolutely and he tries their comics folk just for the kicks and the quote and boy that just has a severe consequence in his a life narcotics leads him to having to drop out of school and then being arrested oh my gosh his life is destroyed is there any hope for our protagonist in today's show or cut its pit of despair person would deliberately excluded him and no intelligent person would venture within striking distance of it today young people are flirting with the poison every bit as deadly one of the potentials for illegal drug trafficking is the school here the connection can be found with these peddlers of misery who prey on the unwary the uninformed the curious the thrill seekers most young people will continue to li as normal responsible citizen the pattern is generally the same take a lack of responsibility the inability to make right choices add to it ignorance and indifference and top it off with a desire for a scape ism and kicks the sum total is then conceivably found everybody knows a couple can't do anything but he should have known is that not only are barbiturates dangerous to his nervous system but they destroy the inner resources he has now to overcome the obstacles of daily life but he's too busy with his girls his car sports the little problems he has don't seem to important he knows he's failing in english and on the borderline in that but he's not really worried and he knows he'll be ok on the next exam sure he'd be willing to come for extra instruction on saturday than it is his practice day he's doing well in track and he feels he will do better but more training and practice he might even get to represent the school in the i mean giving up some fun and weekends but he knows he can do it if necessary he can cram a few days before the exam and even pep himself up on bennies he handled them before and he knows where to draw the line he knows he'll never go beyond that step knows john has taken his first step toward someone who is willing to help him take the second and that's where eventually he becomes a member of that type society of drug addicts to jannah seems perfectly natural and innocent to bump into an old classmate he hasn't seen pete since he dropped out of school last year from the looks of him he seems to be doing well on his out of town selling what john doesn't know is the selling job is pushing dough and a long absence from town there accidental meeting calls for a little celebration and pete has just the thing there's a little private party going on tonight plenty of fun and laughs take a break  it sounds good but today's is father's day off and john needs his help with some school problem if there's another party sometime maybe he can make it there but pete isn't interested in some time or maybe foursquare if you want to swing call him right now he's got to split he's got to find fish ready to be hooked victims to supply him with money for the heroin he needs today and tomorrow and tomorrow compared to pete's problems janzen nothing for grades expulsion from the team the frustrations and responsibilities of growing up seem important only to himself oh he needs a little help a little guidance a little understanding but the help the guidance the understanding are not there when he needs it his parents are away just when he was counting on them to be home his problems must wait for tomorrow or he can solve them tonight alo only he can go just so far alone during his childhood he was loved felt protected suddenly that's all gone now he's in a man's body he's expected to be a man to stand alone on his own two feet this he will gladly do but he needs a little push we need someone to help him over the hump of school work that's troubling today he's had it the studies can wait until tomorrow he knows he can finish and then what he doesn't know is behavior habits formed on the go taking the practice of putting things off making square and that terrible label must be avoided at all costs besides he's never been high on it before and he never will he can handle the stuff the only trouble is he can't handle so much under the influence of the helen comes through is much more friendly he's flattered by her attentions and her interest in it if he could see her arms scarred by the needle marks he would know she's a height if he could see her police record the next step is the garonne they're some of gang are really blasting bets where the real action is come on and take a look take a trip from squaresville live a little and see what it's like for yourself this is the real action the pot talking the trippers the grasshoppers the hip ones all gathered in secrecy and flying high as it comes outside the boundaries of their phony world of kicks is the ever present possibility of discovery this must be avoided at all costs for discovery brings with it the penalties of society shame arrest prison so destroy the evidence leave not a trace burn it in paper trash that way they can deny possessing the illegal marijuana they can say the flaming can is part of the game they can lie they can swear this time the gangs lucky it's not the law or discovery or problems it's just their supplier pete with his number one check to john his first pot party looks exciting everyone seems to be having fun best of all there are no parents no other adults no one to interfere with the fun the feeling of importance of belonging of putting one over in this taking hold pete intends to tighten that how to squeeze to hook it to lock it in now's the time to introduce the joint but pete has learned the rules well this is the test the time to separate the man from the boy john's will power individuality character slipping down the direct in their place come the old behavior habits and excuses everybody else is doing it if he the gang the effects of the atmosphere and beer the desire to belong he chooses to go along think he's having but everything that goes up must come down when john came down he landed with a thud due to the effects of the alcohol in the late hours at the party the following day he was too tired too sick to study now facing another school day he finds the same problems the same responsibilities still with him as well as arguments traffic violation and as the days go by he looks for more kicks more escape from the troubles he brings on himself each time he feels the need for kicks or he's troubled he returns to marijuana he knows that marijuana isn't physically addicting he doesn't know he's become psychologically dependent on it but he's not worried he knows he can handle it in time the continued use of marijuana causes psychic and physiological changes in his body while under the influence of marijuana his blood pressure increases to use unusual hunger and his central nervous system changes his perception of depth and dimensions is radically changed a low curve appears was oppress the whole world get those resources and others are available to him but he thinks only a power can help where we're helping forget everything and everybody he's been dragging the lead now long enough to want to try a bigger kick in his present frame of mind the bigger the better psychologically he's ready to make the big  tank is a real high hook mainline or beyond hope he is long past getting into kicks for marijuana his body is conditioned to heroin is one of the most powerful dangerous drugs known to man so dangerous that its importation even for medical uses has been banned in the united states since nine hundred twenty five every day the cost of his habit rises eighty dollars ninety dollars or one hundred dollars a day and more every day he must have increasing amounts of the drug to get it he will without it he will suffer the unbearable tortures of withdrawal from the drugs to prepare the venom for his bloodstream the emptiness heroin on the spoon every grain is precious and cannot be spilled a few drops of water added to make it so you and used again and again or if the addict is ever caught without the drug it can cook the cartons and squeeze out a small amount d psychologically ready for stronger drugs to his confused brain the idea of joining hank in a bigger kick is highly intact it would be all right to try it just uncontrollable convulsion the agony will reach its peak in thirty six to seventy two hours then continue for two more weeks in the meantime he must obey the rules of the drug addict world his screams of pain can bring discovering the worst of all they can bring the long and forcible denial of the hell drug addicts must have so cool it kicks strangle it in the jungle land of knockout acts its fight claws kill and every man for himself but demons of withdrawal pains have increased their torture they run rampant through his body and prepared to multiply themselves hundreds of times again ironically the only relief from his demons is through the very poison that originally hooked him the same heroin that will bind him ever more tightly to his living hell but the breasted temporary delivery is not given through any noble charitable motives it's just a final step in pete's carefully laid plan he's made another junkie and another source of money now with a hook in he twisted to make sure the victim will never get away knowledge john has experienced the heart of withdrawal he will make sure he gets his junk every day his power pete will be glad to sublime but only for money plenty of money or in the vicious racket that preys on human misery there is no trust no credit no mercy it's cash on the line by the unbearable agony of withdraw how to get the money presents tremendous problems to secure this money john must now do things he would never dream of doing before he was hooked first to sell his wristwatch then his hi fi today it's his mother's best silverware although always pressed for more and more money to support his habit john must preserve outward appearances every day he must go through the motions the pretense of living a normal life now one must ever know he's a hopeless junkie but the law enforcement officers ever alert to the deadly drug traffic are about to know telling the swinger the hip chick or the gang has been picked up for shoplifting in a downtown problem is getting another fix to hold up the terrible withdraw police custody she knows the fix is impossible so she will settle for the next best thing and cooperate with the law of the drug activists is cut off but the infected victims still have a police record to haunt him as long as the lames john uses the leniency of the law sometimes allowed first offenders so he enters a government hospital the very best treatment modern science can
