00:00:08 #1 and to focus the projector.
00:00:10 #2 Since time be given symbolic of evil, destruction, death.
00:00:27 #3 Out of the slime and darkness it comes to inflict its life-destroying poison
00:00:32 #4 on the careless, the unwary, the unprotected.
00:00:37 #5 No sane person would deliberately expose himself to its venom.
00:00:41 #6 No intelligent person would venture within striking distance of its fangs.
00:00:46 #7 Yet today, young people are flirting with a poison every bit as deadly as that of the snake.
00:00:55 #8 The potentials for illegal drug traffic is the school.
00:02:08 #9 Here the connection can be found with these peddlers of misery who prey on the unwary,
00:02:13 #10 the uninformed, the curious, the thrill seekers.
00:02:16 #11 Most young people will continue through life as normal responsible citizens.
00:02:20 #12 citizens. Others, the shunted and unloved, the unguided. The seekers of thrills and
00:02:28 #13 kicks are candidates for the slave world of lifelong drug addiction. But no one is
00:02:34 #14 immune. How does it happen? Where does it start? What are the signs? The pattern is
00:02:41 #15 generally the same. Take a life of responsibility, the inability to make
00:02:45 #16 right choices, add to it ignorance and indifference, and top it off with a
00:02:49 #17 desire for escapism and kicks. The sum total is then conceivably found in the
00:02:55 #18 Benny's, the reefer, the pop needle. Take John Scott. He'd be the first to laugh
00:03:02 #19 at the thought of his being hooked. Sure, before the last exam he took a couple
00:03:07 #20 of Benny's to pep him up, but so what? Everybody knows a couple can't do any
00:03:11 #21 harm. What he should have known is that not only are barbiturates dangerous to
00:03:16 #22 his nervous system but they destroy the inner resources he has now to overcome
00:03:21 #23 the obstacles of daily life but he's too busy with his girl, his car, his sports.
00:03:27 #24 The little problems he has don't seem too important. He knows he's failing in
00:03:34 #25 English and on the borderline in math but he's not really worried. He knows
00:03:38 #26 he'll be okay on the next exam. Sure he'd be willing to come for extra
00:03:42 #27 instruction on Saturday but Saturday is his practice day.
00:03:45 #28 He's doing well in track and he feels he will do better.
00:03:51 #29 With more training and practice he might even get to represent the school and the state finals.
00:03:55 #30 But word has come down that his grades aren't too good.
00:03:58 #31 Unless he pulls them up, he can be put off the team.
00:04:01 #32 A normal enough problem with a normal enough solution.
00:04:05 #33 Hit the books a little harder, get a little help and pull them up.
00:04:09 #34 He'll mean giving up some fun and weekends, but he knows he can do it.
00:04:13 #35 If necessary, he can cram a few days before the exam and even pep himself up on benes.
00:04:18 #36 He handled them before and he knows where to draw the line. He knows he'll never go beyond that step.
00:04:25 #37 But someone else knows John has taken his first step toward drugs.
00:04:29 #38 Someone who is willing to help him take the second and the steps where eventually he becomes a member of that tight society of
00:04:35 #39 drug addicts.
00:04:36 #40 To John it seems perfectly natural and innocent to bump into an old classmate.
00:04:42 #41 He hasn't seen Pete since he dropped out of school last year
00:04:46 #42 From the looks of him. He seems to be doing well on his out-of-town selling job
00:04:53 #43 What John doesn't know is the selling job is pushing dope and the long absence from town prison
00:05:00 #44 Their accidental meeting calls for a little celebration and Pete has just the thing
00:05:05 #45 There's a little private party going on tonight plenty of fun and laughs. Take a break little
00:05:10 #46 It sounds good, but today's his father's day off and John needs his help with some school problems.
00:05:16 #47 If there's another party sometime, maybe he can make it then.
00:05:20 #48 But Pete isn't interested in some time or maybe or squares.
00:05:25 #49 If you want to swing, call him. Right now, he's got to split.
00:05:29 #50 He's got to find fish ready to be hooked.
00:05:32 #51 Victims to supply him with money for the heroin he needs today and tomorrow and tomorrow.
00:05:38 #52 Compared to Pete's problems, John's are nothing.
00:05:53 #53 Poor grades, expulsion from the team, the frustrations and responsibilities of growing up
00:05:59 #54 seem important only to himself.
00:06:02 #55 All he needs is a little help, a little guidance, a little understanding.
00:06:09 #56 But the help, the guidance, the understanding are not there when he needs it.
00:06:14 #57 His parents are away just when he was counting on them to be home.
00:06:18 #58 His problems must wait for tomorrow, or he can solve them tonight alone.
00:06:25 #59 Only he can go just so far alone.
00:06:32 #60 During his childhood, he was loved, helped, protected.
00:06:36 #61 Suddenly, that's all gone.
00:06:38 #62 Now he's in a man's body, he's expected to be a man, to stand alone on his own two feet.
00:06:44 #63 This he will gladly do, but he needs a little push.
00:06:48 #64 He needs someone to help him over the hump of schoolwork that's troubling him.
00:06:53 #65 Today he's had it. The studies can wait until tomorrow.
00:06:59 #66 He knows he can finish them then. What he doesn't know is
00:07:03 #67 behavior habits formed long ago are now taking over.
00:07:08 #68 The practice of putting things off, making excuses,
00:07:11 #69 jerking unpleasant tasks, is strongly etched in his character.
00:07:15 #70 It's Saturday night and everyone else is out having fun.
00:07:19 #71 It's the best excuse in the world to join the party.
00:07:23 #72 John, the party is swinging.
00:08:09 #73 Just the thing he needs to pep him up.
00:08:12 #74 The stage is set, the principal players are in position,
00:08:16 #75 the curtain is up.
00:08:18 #76 John doesn't realize it, but he has just been cast as the star fall guy
00:08:23 #77 in a real life tragedy.
00:08:25 #78 The excitement of Helen and several beers have taken effect.
00:10:03 #79 Inhibition and caution are forgotten.
00:10:05 #80 When Helen suggests they have a few more beers, he's all for it.
00:10:09 #81 Why not? Everyone else is doing it.
00:10:11 #82 To refuse would be square, and that terrible label must be avoided at all costs.
00:10:17 #83 Besides, he's never been high on it before, and he never will.
00:10:21 #84 He can handle the stuff.
00:10:25 #85 The only trouble is he can't handle so much.
00:10:28 #86 Under the influence of the beer, Helen comes through as much more friendly.
00:10:32 #87 He's flattered by her attentions and her interest in him.
00:10:36 #88 If he could see her arms scarred by the needle marks, he would know she's a hype.
00:10:41 #89 If he could see her police record, he would know she works for Pete.
00:10:45 #90 Pete and Helen know their parts well.
00:10:48 #91 They've been through it before and they know the time is right.
00:10:52 #92 Throw out the sucker bait. It's time for the next step.
00:10:55 #93 The next step is the garage.
00:11:01 #94 There some of the gang are really blasting.
00:11:04 #95 That's where the real action is.
00:11:06 #96 Come on and take a look.
00:11:08 #97 Take a trip from Squaresville, live a little and see what it's like for yourself.
00:11:13 #98 The senses are dulled just enough to be reckless.
00:11:17 #99 Helen, the music, the beer, the promise of excitement press in on him.
00:11:22 #100 Now curiosity has to be satisfied.
00:11:25 #101 And why not?
00:11:26 #102 It can do any harm to look, real action, the pot party, the trippers, the grasshoppers, the hip ones,
00:11:59 #103 all gathered in secrecy and flying high as a kite.
00:12:03 #104 Outside the boundaries of their phony world of kicks
00:12:05 #105 is the ever-present possibility of discovery.
00:12:08 #106 This must be avoided at all costs,
00:12:10 #107 for discovery brings with it the penalties of society.
00:12:13 #108 Shame, arrest, prison.
00:12:15 #109 So destroy the evidence, leave not a trace,
00:12:17 #110 burn it in paper trash.
00:12:19 #111 That way they can deny possessing the illegal marijuana.
00:12:22 #112 They can say the flaming can is part of a game.
00:12:25 #113 They can lie.
00:12:26 #114 They can swear.
00:12:28 #115 This time the gang's lucky. It's not the law or discovery or problems.
00:12:33 #116 It's just their supplier Pete with his number one chick and a new guy looking for kicks.
00:12:39 #117 Forget it man and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.
00:12:44 #118 To John, his first pot party looks exciting. Everyone seems to be having fun.
00:12:59 #119 Best of all, there are no parents, no other adults, no one to interfere with the fun.
00:13:08 #120 The feeling of importance, of belonging, of putting one over is taking hold.
00:13:13 #121 Pete intends to tighten that hold, to squeeze it, to hook it, to lock it in.
00:13:18 #122 Now's the time to introduce the joints.
00:13:21 #123 But Pete has learned the rules well.
00:13:23 #124 A pusher can never be caught with the stuff on him.
00:13:27 #125 Instead, he must leave it, stanch it, get it from a flunkie.
00:13:35 #126 This is the test.
00:13:37 #127 The time to separate the man from the boy.
00:13:39 #128 John's willpower, individuality, character are slipping down the drain.
00:13:44 #129 In their place come the old behavior habits and excuses.
00:13:48 #130 Everybody else is doing it.
00:13:50 #131 If he can handle Benny's and beer, he should be able to handle a few harmless puffs,
00:13:55 #132 just to see what it's like.
00:13:59 #133 The natural defenses are crumbling.
00:14:01 #134 The barriers of caution are beaten down.
00:14:04 #135 Drag it, man.
00:14:05 #136 Try anything once. Fly.
00:14:07 #137 You can't get a habit from weed.
00:14:09 #138 Quit whenever you like.
00:14:10 #139 Don't be chicken.
00:14:12 #140 Come on, man.
00:14:35 #141 Under the proddings of the gang, the effects of the atmosphere and beer, the desire to belong,
00:14:41 #142 he chooses to go along.
00:14:49 #143 John surrenders his dignity and lays his future on the chopping block.
00:14:53 #144 Not whether it's good or bad or right or wrong.
00:14:57 #145 But if he stopped to think, he would see the stupidity of it all.
00:15:02 #146 Now he's too involved to think.
00:15:05 #147 He's having kicks.
00:15:09 #148 He's away and flying up, up, out of this world.
00:15:24 #149 But everything that goes up must come down.
00:15:27 #150 When John came down, he landed with a thud.
00:15:30 #151 Due to the effects of the alcohol
00:15:32 #152 and the late hours at the party,
00:15:33 #153 the following day he was too tired, too sick to study.
00:15:41 #154 Now facing another school day,
00:15:43 #155 he finds the same problems,
00:15:45 #156 the same responsibilities are still with him.
00:15:48 #157 As well as arguments, traffic violations.
00:15:53 #158 And as the days go by, he looks for more kicks, more escape from the troubles he brings on himself.
00:16:01 #159 Each time he feels the need for kicks or he's troubled, he returns to marijuana.
00:16:06 #160 He knows that marijuana isn't physically addicting.
00:16:09 #161 He doesn't know he's become psychologically dependent on it.
00:16:13 #162 But he's not worried. He knows he can handle it.
00:16:16 #163 he can handle it. In time, the continued use of marijuana causes psychic and
00:16:21 #164 physiological changes in his body. While under the influence of marijuana, his
00:16:28 #165 blood pressure increases. He feels unusual hunger and his central nervous system changes.
00:16:33 #166 His perception of depth and dimensions is radically changed. A low curb appears as a
00:16:40 #167 precipice. With a distortion of sight and sound, time is suspended. Fast action
00:16:47 #168 appears slow. The whole world is disloyal. When the big blow comes, angry, resentful, humiliated.
00:16:59 #169 Sinking into the pit of despair, and he needs help to pull himself out. But where should
00:17:03 #170 he look for it? Who should he ask? The coach won't give him a break. The teacher? Ah,
00:17:11 #171 he's already failed him, so why keep on with studies? His parents? They don't understand
00:17:16 #172 anything. Religion? What a laugh that would give the gang. Those resources and others
00:17:25 #173 are available to him but he thinks only a pal can help. Split this square world,
00:17:31 #174 helping forget everything and everybody. He's been dragging the weed now long
00:17:36 #175 enough to want to try a bigger kick. In his present frame of mind, the bigger
00:17:41 #176 the better. Psychologically he's ready to make the big seed. His pals have
00:17:47 #177 introduced new props and he's anxious to examine. Caution, intelligence, normal
00:17:56 #178 defenses go up in pot smoke. Hank is a real hype, a hooked mainliner beyond hope.
00:18:05 #179 He has long passed getting any kicks from marijuana. His body is conditioned to
00:18:10 #180 heroin, one of the most powerful dangerous drugs known to man. So
00:18:14 #181 dangerous that its importation even for medical uses has been banned in the
00:18:18 #182 United States since 1925. Every day the cost of his habit rises. $80, $90, $100 a day and more.
00:18:27 #183 Every day he must have increasing amounts of the drug. To get it he will lie, steal, murder, even trap the innocent.
00:18:35 #184 The outfit that he uses is the drug addict's only friend. With it he can exist in his living hell until the next fix.
00:18:45 #185 Without it, he will suffer the unbearable torches of withdrawal from the drug.
00:18:51 #186 To prepare the venom for his bloodstream, he empties heroin onto the spoon.
00:18:57 #187 Every grain is precious and cannot be spilled or wasted.
00:19:02 #188 A few drops of water are added to make a solution.
00:19:16 #189 Then the small wad of cotton, usually dirty, is placed on the spoon to serve as a filter.
00:19:28 #190 The solution is then drawn through the cotton filter and into the needle.
00:19:33 #191 This cotton is saved and used again and again,
00:19:38 #192 for if the addict is ever caught without the drug,
00:19:41 #193 he can cook the cottons and squeeze out a small amount.
00:19:45 #194 This is it then, the big time, the main line,
00:19:52 #195 the high point of every drug addict's existence,
00:19:55 #196 of every thousand hikes who ride the toboggan to hell,
00:19:59 #197 only a few ever get on.
00:20:02 #198 Of course, Pete is careful not to let John see the actual needlepump.
00:20:13 #199 That is hidden, ignored, bypassed.
00:20:16 #200 Instead, only the fun, the kicks, the real blast is played up.
00:20:20 #201 The tourniquet is quickly tied and secured.
00:20:30 #202 The vein is enlarged.
00:20:32 #203 The hype is ready.
00:20:35 #204 All sanitary precautions are ignored and normal hygiene protections are out.
00:20:39 #205 All addicts run the risk of infecting themselves with tetanus, hepatitis, venereal and other diseases.
00:20:45 #206 But in a race with time, to stop withdrawal, he doesn't think of such things.
00:20:50 #207 Right now, all that matters is the dirty needle, the German-fested cotton, the poisonous drug.
00:20:56 #208 By now, John is psychologically ready for stronger drugs.
00:21:03 #209 To his confused brain, the idea of joining Hank in a bigger kick is highly enticing.
00:21:10 #210 It would be alright to try it just once, just to see what it's really like.
00:21:19 #211 The only thing is the ugly looking needle.
00:21:22 #212 The vague, uncertain fear of maybe getting hooked.
00:21:26 #213 His pal laughs at his fear of a little needle.
00:21:28 #214 A small pop doesn't hurt, it only makes you fly.
00:21:33 #215 Besides only squares get hooked, the hip guys are just occasional abusers.
00:21:40 #216 You blast every once in a while and quit whenever you like.
00:21:43 #217 A few pops now and then can't possibly hurt.
00:21:47 #218 The idea of a real kick without getting hooked takes hold.
00:21:52 #219 John isn't afraid and he certainly isn't square.
00:21:57 #220 The chain reaction has reached the end of the line.
00:22:00 #221 He's handled alcohol, goofballs, marijuana.
00:22:05 #222 Now he's positive he can handle one little pop.
00:22:13 #223 But something seems to have gone wrong.
00:22:15 #224 The excuse of, it can't happen to me, was all right for the first pop and the second and
00:22:19 #225 the third.
00:22:20 #226 But the more heroin he shoots, the more tolerance his body builds.
00:22:24 #227 And the more he needs.
00:22:25 #228 He needs a shot now and he needs it badly.
00:22:28 #229 But this is the last one.
00:22:30 #230 After he's feeling better, he'll quit.
00:22:32 #231 Never touch the stuff again.
00:22:53 #232 Hank immediately recognizes the withdrawal symptoms in John.
00:22:57 #233 Nervousness, nausea, watering eyes, running nose.
00:23:01 #234 too bad but his pal Pete isn't around to fix him up. Hank needs every grain he has for his own fix.
00:23:07 #235 There's nothing to do but wait till Pete comes with more stuff.
00:23:11 #236 In the meantime, sweated out pal, you wanted kicks? Now pay the price.
00:23:17 #237 At first it all seemed like such harm was fun. It was hip to go along with the gang.
00:23:32 #238 But where's the gang now? Why aren't they with him when he needs them most?
00:23:36 #239 Too late he realizes that by joining to belong he's more alone than ever.
00:23:41 #240 This is the one trip he must take all alone.
00:23:44 #241 Only he himself can experience the unbearable agony of withdrawal.
00:23:49 #242 Alternately he will feel chills and burn.
00:23:52 #243 Violent muscular cramps will rack his tortured body.
00:23:55 #244 He will vomit and then wretch in uncontrollable convulsions.
00:23:59 #245 The agony will reach its peak in 36 to 72 hours
00:24:03 #246 then continue for two more weeks.
00:24:07 #247 In the meantime, he must obey the rules of the drug addict's world of secrecy.
00:24:13 #248 His screams of pain can bring discovery.
00:24:16 #249 Worst of all, they can bring the law and forcible denial of the hell drug addicts must have.
00:24:23 #250 So, cool it, cut it, strangle it.
00:24:27 #251 In the jungle land of narcotics, it's fight, claw, kill, and every man for himself.
00:24:34 #252 The demons of withdrawal pains have increased their torture.
00:24:40 #253 They run rampant through his body and prepare to multiply themselves hundreds of times again.
00:24:46 #254 Ironically, the only relief from his demons is through the very poison that originally hooked him.
00:24:53 #255 The same heroine that will bind him ever more tightly to his living hell.
00:24:59 #256 But the blessed temporary delivery is not given through any noble charitable motives.
00:25:05 #257 It's just the final step in Pete's carefully laid plan.
00:25:09 #258 He's made another junkie and another source of money.
00:25:13 #259 Now with the hook in deep, he twists it to make sure the victim will never get away.
00:25:20 #260 Now that John has experienced the horrors of withdrawal, he will make sure he gets his junk every day.
00:25:31 #261 His pal Pete will be glad to supply him. But only for money. Plenty of money.
00:25:39 #262 For in the vicious racket that preys on human misery, there is no trust, no credit, no mercy.
00:25:48 #263 It's cash on the line for the unbearable agony of withdrawal.
00:25:53 #264 How to get the money presents tremendous problems.
00:26:00 #265 To secure this money, John must now do things he would never dream of doing before he was hooked.
00:26:06 #266 First he sold his wrist watch, then his high-five. Today it's his mother's best silverware.
00:26:14 #267 Always pressed for more and more money to support his habit, John must preserve outward appearances.
00:26:23 #268 Every day he must go through the motions, the pretence of living a normal life.
00:26:28 #269 No one must ever know he's a hopeless junkie.
00:26:32 #270 But the law enforcement officers ever alert to the deadly drug traffic are about to know.
00:26:41 #271 Helen, the swinger, the hip chick of the gang, has been picked up for shoplifting in a downtown store.
00:26:47 #272 Her previous arrests for shoplifting and prostitution, her addiction to narcotics, weigh heavily against her.
00:26:54 #273 But the shame, the stigma, the prison sentence she faces are of sacriportance now.
00:27:00 #274 Her immediate problem is getting another fix to hold off the terrible withdrawals.
00:27:08 #275 In police custody, she knows a fix is impossible.
00:27:11 #276 So she will settle for the next best thing and cooperate with the law.
00:27:17 #277 She will sell the gang, her friends, her soul for the help she needs to face the coming withdrawal tortures.
00:27:27 #278 Swiftly acting on her lead, the law strike back and another small tentacle of the drug octopus is cut off.
00:27:36 #279 But the infected victims still go on. With a police record to haunt him as long as he lives, John uses the leniency of the law sometimes allowed first offenders.
00:28:00 #280 So, he enters a government hospital for the very best treatment modern science can give.
00:28:07 #281 Months later the agony of withdrawals, the care, the treatments are behind him.
00:28:19 #282 Now that he's kicked the habit, he can try to pick up the pieces of his broken life.
