This man is the David Attenborough of crime.
-
My man told us the trade of Heroin like it's a Charles Dickens novel. I actually went to sleep with this. Epic stuff.
-
Never have I seen such an articulate and intelligent man from the drug underworld. The tone of his voice, his wording, and his overall aura make this interview an unforgettable one. Plus, I've learned a lot about a world I'm not familiar with.
-
I'm a former heroin user and I also went to college to become an Addictions Counsellor and I can say that the vast majority of what this person said in this interview is quite accurate. This is in my opinion one of the better interviews relating to drug manufacture, smuggling and the legalities too. Well done!
-
There was one study in the U.K. where doctors were allowed to prescribe heroin users actual heroin, whilst they received counselling and guidance to reduce their usage. A way higher proportion successfully quit than those undergoing methadone therapy. The government completely ignored the results and never repeated the experiment. EDIT: They have done another smaller scale study, but yet again, they ignored it.
-
I could listen to this guy talk for hours.
-
Amazing he has traveled the world dealing in illegal drugs and lived to tell about it.
-
I really like how he didn't glorify his old life. He gave a real account that may help others make better decisions. Especially more youthful ears. He's as real as they get.
-
Someone in need of a narrator should hire this man. His voice is very pleasant to listen to and he tells a story in a way that keeps you engaged with the content.
-
Never in a million years would I say this guy was a trafficker. That’s how i know he definitely was
-
I'm Australian and 25 years deep. This man is 100% accurate on everything he said. Also, he's talking about the Fairlea Prison fire of 1982.
-
My closest friend of 40+ years relapsed after being clean for a very long time. 2 hits off a fent laced joint and he hit the ground. He was left in the house alone for 2 hours before anyone called 911. By that time it was too late. His birthday was yesterday and I'm still pissed at the world over it.
-
That was riveting. He was a good speaker and the editing kept things flowing.
-
I love when he said the reward is never enough , it’s so true even if you don’t get caught by the authorities you are constantly looking over your shoulder because of what you know . You can never really enjoy the profits of your labor
-
The TRUTH is freeing. This man is a gold mine of information. And he takes full responsibility for his actions. No victim mentality. No blaming of others. Just full accountability. Beautiful honesty. A rare find.
-
I could remember several years ago heroin addiction nearly destroyed my life, I suffered from severe depression, illicit pills, and mental disorder until I was recommended to psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
-
With his accent, this ol' geezer could read a shopping list and I'd be interested! What an incredible, albeit tragic, life this gentleman has lived. A truly remarkable man to be as self-aware as he is to make it out alive and come full circle. I can't wait to get ahold of some of his books... though I'll just expect the covers to be cardboard/paper!
-
I’ve been clean off Heroin since 2014 thank god I was able to find support to quit!! I remember the first time I tried it was like all my troubles melted away but eventually I learned about the withdrawals and it was awful 😞 the worst most painful experience!!
-
Heroin and depression is another deadly combo
-
It is the first time I actually found a simple, extensive, well explained, well articulated story of heroin. It is a gem!
