mean it is a symbol a symbol of narcotic addiction is poisoning the blood of our country and this is the result a result yes but it occurs when the addict is deprived of his n he's experiencing withdrawal symptoms and if he can't get his not cutting he lives from fixed to fix and if he is lucky he dies early maybe from an overdose maybe from an infected needle he lives from fixed to fix the addict must have his drugs and to get it he must have the money and that much money comes  and it's good the same always the same price feeds us and in the end life has been a torturous search from day to day but can't we help him we try but he's stop to them yes we will try but if you want to defeat your enemy you must first kno this is a shooting gallery a room where addicts come to inject their narcotic and must wait their turn to use them even then all these people are addicts some are some aren't all will be but are these not katic let's take it from the scientific viewpoint there are three general classifications of narcotics as defined by law the opiates the synthetic drugs and the cocaine marijuana group opiates grown and processed almost exclusively in foreign countries include opium and it's to derivatives being and heroin the synthetic narcotics including such drugs as demo and methadone are the result of science's attempt to produce a non addictive narcotic but attempts have failed all synthetic narcotics addictive cocaine is derived from the peruvian coca plant it is strongly addictive marijuana is easy only grown in many countries including the united states the plant can be identified by it's hard to sleep which always has an odd number of think it's the underside of the leave and the sticky feel to it it is the leaves and flowering taps of this plant which contain the narcotic this narcotic unlike the opiates synthetics and cocaine is non addictive what do you mean that is not addictive by non addictive it is meant that the user of marijuana when deprived of the drug will not experience the agonies of withdrawal it is a bit you waiting but its use can be discontinued then what is in danger marijuana a powerful excitement produces unpredictable emotional results but its greatest danger lies in the fact that it is a stepping stone to the harder drugs such as morphine and heroin ninety five percent of narcotic addicts begin with the use of marijuana classified as dangerous drugs as distinct from narcotics other barbiturates the sleeping pills known also as bombs there are approximately four hundred varieties of barbiturates on the market and are highly addictive in most states the possession of these drugs without a doctor's prescription is illegal among the most common are nembutal known as yellow jackets and second of known as red devils all narcotics and dangerous drugs have legitimate medical uses many are indispensable for pain killing and sleep producing properties but in the hands of the addict their use is provided to secure an escape from reality states hype will bring his not coming to a shooting gallery where he will make use of certain apparatus for his injection this apparatus usually includes an eyedropper hypodermic needle and a spoon with a bit of cotton at the bottom and is known as an out in the heroin in powder form is placed in the school water is added and the narcotic is made to dissolve this process is called cooking after it has been cooked the heroin is drawn into the eyedropper through the wad of cotton which acts to strain out some of the impurities it is then ready for injection directly into a vein that take careful to sterilize no either because of ignorance or to save time no precaution is taken that any communicable disease of one high may be directly transmitted into the bloodstream of another for other narcotics there are other methods of administration or instance black opium sometimes injected is usually smoked five or six plus a dreamworld beckons reality is left behind but problems aren't solved marijuana is also smoked the reefer as it is sometimes like an ordinary hand rolled cigarette but it is smoked differently large quantities of  and haled simultaneously with the smoke so that the stomach will absorb a high percentage of the narcotic marijuana is the most prevalent narcotic among juveniles the pattern of escape is established many of them try heroin the step to narcotic addiction is short the barbiturates are usually taken orally this group is classified as the dangerous drugs and is so named as a reminder to the user that they are through continuous use physical damage to the brain kidneys and liver can occur but there is no drug as degrading and slaving as first place most not cut excess smuggled into the country on ships or across customs men are constantly on the lookout but it can't all be intercepted a great deal gets through panics are a multi million dollar business announce of heroin costing thirty dollars in europe is worth three hundred upon crossing the united states border and then the profits really start as the narcotic is passed from the big dealers to the smaller dealers and finally to the retailers it is diluted and read a loaded until finally from the original ounce of heroin anywhere from five to ten ounces have been produced this dilution process i termed cutting and is usually done with milk sugar cut and made up into gram packages known as bindles and papers and sold to retailers to recap the bindles and package the narcotic into capsules these capsules containing a low percentage of heroin can bring from three to five dollars apiece though the amount of narcotic per unit weight decreases with each dilution the price does not decrease proportionately the original ounce of heroin but for thirty dollars as a possible retail value of three thousand dollars marijuana is both a gold across and grown within our borders that leaves an flowering taps of the plant ground to the consistency of pipe tobacco i saw by the can or as cigarettes costing from fifty cents to one dollar apiece the cigarettes are rolled in a double wrapping of brown paper the other more fragile white paper is sometimes used for the purpose of camouflage because marijuana it's not as profitable as heroin and because it is only habit forming narcotic peddlers or pushers try to convert the youth for marijuana use or to the addictive expensive profitable heroin for your addict people of all races and professions it's the privilege and the  underprivileged how do they start they usually start out just maybe on a dare maybe to follow the crowd many begin with marijuana and the pattern of escape as a step they then graduate to the heart of the addictive drugs for bigger last chance to escape addiction then what they need for drugs becomes a need for money no method is to degrading there may be ten thousand women and thirty thousand men in the city who are drug addicts each perhaps will initiate at least one new person to the use of military as well what are we doing about it if we can't prevent not c the law state that possession of narcotics means that the suspect either has the drug on his person or that it was directly under his control at the time of arrest here both officers saw this man from the suspected n suspects or so on the spot and all evidence gathered is placed in envelopes in the presence of the arrested man and data relating to its seizure is recorded on the outside these officers however cannot testify in court that the suspected substance is a narcotic the confiscated material must be examined by a chemist who will later testify as to his finding so we catch the pushers but the problem doesn't end there but tend these people be cured physically yes mentally there is no known permanent cure deprived of narcotics the addict will undergo withdrawal symptoms for about six weeks at the end of this period his body will no longer need the drug but the psychological need remains elaborate precautions must be taken to prevent the passage of narcotics into prisons double fine mesh screamed and  careful search of all articles intended for prisoners do much to discourage smuggling clothing intended for narcotics prisoners is soaked in water to dissolve any narcotic the articles might be saturated with calyx have weakened his character deteriorated his will he may stay off a day a month a year or more but ninety nine out of
