Before anyone asks----No, I have never taken any "Hard" drugs,as I have always been too frightened ( and,I like to think,sensible) to even TRY ! I could certainly never stick a needle in myself. I did try cannabis once,in my forties,but didn't like it ! I HAVE twice been hospitalised to "Dry Out" from alcohol addiction, but,as I pointed out to the heroin addicts that I shared a ward with at Saint Anne's Hospital in Poole,I was not actually breaking the law,whilst they most certainly were ( not that they gave a toss,of course,but that's heroin for you ).
