00:00:51 #1 It is a symbol. A symbol of narcotic addiction is poisoning the blood of our country.
00:00:57 #2 And this is a result?
00:00:59 #3 A result? Yes. But it occurs when the addict is deprived of his narcotic. He is experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
00:01:08 #4 And if he can get his narcotic?
00:01:10 #5 He lives from fix to fix. And if he is lucky, he dies early. Maybe from an overdose. Maybe from an infected needle.
00:01:18 #6 He lives from fix to fix. The addict must have his drug and to get it he must have
00:01:27 #7 money and that much money comes hard. And this girl? The same, always the same.
00:01:44 #8 Vice feeds on vice. And in the end life has been a tortuous search from day to day.
00:01:51 #9 But can't we help him? We try, but he's long past the point of no return.
00:01:57 #10 Then we will stop narcotics from entering the country.
00:02:03 #11 We will arrest the peddlers.
00:02:05 #12 We will educate our young people to the menace.
00:02:08 #13 We will put a stop to this.
00:02:10 #14 Yes, we will try.
00:02:12 #15 But if you want to defeat your enemy, you must first know him.
00:02:17 #16 This is a shooting gallery, a room where addicts come to inject their narcotic
00:02:45 #17 and must wait their turn to use the needle.
00:02:48 #18 Then all these people are addicts?
00:02:52 #19 Some are addicts.
00:02:53 #20 Some are. Some aren't. All will be.
00:02:56 #21 For one it may take five shots for another fifty, but the narcotic will be master.
00:03:02 #22 What are these narcotics?
00:03:14 #23 Let's take it from the scientific viewpoint.
00:03:18 #24 There are three general classifications of narcotics as defined by law.
00:03:23 #25 The opiates, the synthetic drugs, and the cocaine marijuana group.
00:03:28 #26 The opiates grown and processed almost exclusively in foreign countries include opium and its two derivatives,
00:03:35 #27 fene and heroin. The synthetic narcotics including such drugs as demoral and methadone are the result of science's
00:03:43 #28 attempt to produce a non-addictive narcotic. But attempts have failed. All synthetic narcotics are addictive.
00:03:51 #29 Cocaine is derived from the Peruvian coca plant. It is strongly addictive.
00:03:57 #30 Marijuana is easily grown in many countries including the United States.
00:04:03 #31 The plant can be identified by its sawtoothed leaf
00:04:06 #32 which always has an odd number of fingers. The underside of the leaf
00:04:10 #33 has a sticky feel to it. It is the leaves and flowering tops of this plant
00:04:17 #34 which contain the narcotic.
00:04:18 #35 This narcotic unlike the opiates, the synthetics and cocaine
00:04:22 #36 is non-addictive. What do you mean by non-addictive?
00:04:26 #37 By non-addictive, it is meant that the user of marijuana when deprived of the drug
00:04:30 #38 will not experience the agonies of withdrawal.
00:04:33 #39 It is habituating, but its use can be discontinued.
00:04:37 #40 Then what is its danger?
00:04:38 #41 Marijuana, a powerful excitant, produces unpredictable emotional results.
00:04:43 #42 But its greatest danger lies in the fact that it is a stepping stone to the
00:04:47 #43 harder drugs such as morphine and heroin.
00:04:49 #44 95 percent of narcotic addicts begin with the use of marijuana.
00:04:54 #45 Classified as dangerous drugs as distinct from narcotics are the barbitutes, the sleeping pills, known also as goofballs.
00:05:03 #46 There are approximately 400 varieties of barbitutes on the market, and all are highly addictive.
00:05:09 #47 In most states, the possession of these drugs without a doctor's prescription is illegal.
00:05:14 #48 Among the most common are nemutal, known as yellow jackets, and second-all, known as red devils.
00:05:21 #49 Red devils. All narcotics and dangerous drugs have legitimate medical uses.
00:05:28 #50 Many are indispensable for pain-killing and sleep-producing properties.
00:05:32 #51 But in the hands of the addict, their use is perverted to secure an escape from reality.
00:05:38 #52 What is this man?
00:05:48 #53 What narcotic is he addicted to?
00:05:50 #54 All the people in this room are heroin users.
00:05:53 #55 Heroin is the strongest, most devastating opiate that exists.
00:05:58 #56 Its possession is absolutely prohibited in the United States.
00:06:02 #57 A hype will bring his narcotic to a shooting gallery,
00:06:06 #58 where he will make use of certain apparatus for his injection.
00:06:09 #59 This apparatus usually includes an eyedropper,
00:06:12 #60 a hypodermic needle, and a spoon with a bit of cotton
00:06:15 #61 at the bottom and is known as an outfit.
00:06:19 #62 The heroin and powder form is placed in the spoon,
00:06:22 #63 water is added, and the narcotic is made to dissolve.
00:06:27 #64 This process is called cooking.
00:06:29 #65 After it has been cooked, the heroin
00:06:31 #66 is drawn into the eyedropper through the wad of cotton,
00:06:34 #67 which acts to strain out some of the impurities.
00:06:37 #68 It is then ready for injection directly into a vein.
00:06:41 #69 But aren't they careful to sterilize?
00:06:43 #70 No.
00:06:44 #71 Either because of ignorance or to save time,
00:06:47 #72 no precaution is taken.
00:06:49 #73 Thus, any communicable disease of one hype
00:06:52 #74 may be directly transmitted into the bloodstream of another.
00:06:58 #75 For other narcotics, there are other methods of administration.
00:07:02 #76 For instance, black opium, though sometimes injected, is usually smoked.
00:07:07 #77 Five or six puffs.
00:07:10 #78 A dream world beckons.
00:07:12 #79 Reality is left behind.
00:07:15 #80 But problems aren't solved.
00:07:18 #81 Marijuana is also smoked.
00:07:21 #82 The reefer, as it is sometimes like an ordinary hand rolled cigarette.
00:07:24 #83 But it is smoked differently.
00:07:27 #84 Large quantities of air are inhaled simultaneously with the smoke
00:07:30 #85 so that the stomach will absorb a high percentage of the narcotic.
00:07:35 #86 Marijuana is the most prevalent narcotic among juveniles.
00:07:39 #87 The pattern of escape is established.
00:07:41 #88 Many then try heroin.
00:07:43 #89 The step to narcotic addiction is short.
00:07:48 #90 The barbiturates are usually taken orally.
00:07:51 #91 This group is classified as the dangerous drugs
00:07:54 #92 and is so named as a reminder to the user that they are addictive.
00:08:03 #93 Through continuous use, physical damage to the brain, kidneys, and liver can occur.
00:08:10 #94 But there is no drug as degrading and enslaving as heroin.
00:09:00 #95 Look at those marks.
00:09:02 #96 Yes.
00:09:03 #97 These scars on arms and legs are one of the few clues of heroin addiction.
00:09:08 #98 A hype will shoot into a vein until it collapses
00:09:11 #99 and then move on to the next.
00:09:13 #100 How do they get the stuff in the first place?
00:09:16 #101 Most narcotics are smuggled into the country on ships or across borders.
00:09:21 #102 Customs men are constantly on the lookout, but it can't all be intercepted.
00:09:26 #103 A great deal gets through.
00:10:21 #104 Narcotics are a multi-million dollar business.
00:10:24 #105 An ounce of heroin costing thirty dollars in Europe is worth three hundred upon crossing
00:10:29 #106 the United States border.
00:10:31 #107 And then the profits really start.
00:10:34 #108 As the narcotic is passed from the big dealers to the smaller dealers and finally to the retailers,
00:10:39 #109 it is diluted and re-diluted until finally from the original ounce of heroin anywhere from 5 to 10 ounces have been produced.
00:10:48 #110 This dilution process is termed cutting and is usually done with milk sugar.
00:10:53 #111 Ounces are cut and made up into gram packages known as bendels or papers
00:11:00 #112 and sold to retailers who recut the bindles and packaged the narcotic into capsules.
00:11:05 #113 These capsules containing a low percentage of heroin can bring from three to five
00:11:13 #114 dollars apiece. Though the amount of narcotic per unit weight decreases with
00:11:20 #115 each dilution, the price does not decrease proportionately. The original ounce
00:11:25 #116 of heroin bought for $30 has a possible retail value of $3,000. Marijuana
00:11:36 #117 is both agilled across and grown within our borders.
00:11:39 #118 The leaves and flowering tops of the plant
00:11:41 #119 ground to the consistency of pipe tobacco
00:11:44 #120 are sold by the can or a cigarette
00:11:46 #121 costing from 50 cents to $1 apiece.
00:11:49 #122 The cigarettes are rolled in a double wrapping of brown paper,
00:11:53 #123 though the more fragile white paper
00:11:55 #124 is sometimes used for the purpose of camouflage.
00:11:58 #125 Because marijuana is not as profitable as heroin
00:12:01 #126 and because it is only habit-forming,
00:12:04 #127 Narcotics peddlers or pushers try to convert the youthful marijuana user to the addictive, expensive, profitable heroin.
00:12:14 #128 Who are your addicts?
00:12:15 #129 People of all races and professions. The privileged and the underprivileged.
00:12:21 #130 How do they start?
00:12:22 #131 They usually start out young. Maybe on a dare, maybe to follow the crowd.
00:12:27 #132 Many begin with marijuana and the pattern of escape is established.
00:12:30 #133 They then graduate to the harder drugs the addictive drugs for bigger kicks and soon they are hooked
00:12:36 #134 Five ten twenty dollars a day. How do they get the money?
00:12:41 #135 Narcotics breed a desperate race of men. Can this girl be an addict?
00:13:35 #136 This is her third shot, but possibly her last chance to escape addiction
00:13:40 #137 Then what need for drugs becomes need for money. No method is too degrading
00:13:46 #138 There may be 10,000 women and 30,000 men in this city who are drug addicts.
00:14:15 #139 Each perhaps will initiate at least one new person to the use of narcotics.
00:14:20 #140 Well, what are we doing about it?
00:14:22 #141 If we can't prevent narcotics from entering the country, we've got to crack down on every peddler.
00:14:29 #142 Sure, that's what we should do.
00:14:31 #143 But we are often hindered by weak laws, apathetic judges and juries,
00:14:35 #144 and juries and by understaffed anti-narcotics forces.
00:14:40 #145 Each case requires time, money, and men.
00:15:16 #146 Stand by.
00:15:29 #147 OK, let's go.
00:15:39 #148 The law states that possession of narcotics
00:15:42 #149 means that the suspect either has the drug on his person
00:15:45 #150 or that it was directly under his control
00:15:48 #151 at the time of arrest.
00:15:49 #152 Here, both officers saw this man
00:15:52 #153 throw the suspected narcotic.
00:15:59 #154 Suspects are searched on the spot,
00:16:01 #155 and all evidence gathered is placed in envelopes in the presence of the arrested man
00:16:06 #156 and data relating to its seizure is recorded on the outside
00:16:18 #157 there must always be at least two officers on the rest
00:16:22 #158 so that there will be a corroborating witness
00:16:52 #159 these officers however cannot testify in court that the suspected substance is
00:16:57 #160 a narcotic
00:17:00 #161 the confiscated material must be examined by a chemist
00:17:03 #162 who will later testify as to his findings
00:17:08 #163 so we catch the pushers.
00:17:10 #164 But the problem doesn't end there.
00:17:41 #165 There is still the addict who without a will of his own
00:17:44 #166 has a continual craving for narcotics.
00:17:48 #167 While under the influence of his drug,
00:17:50 #168 he acts almost human.
00:17:52 #169 Without it, he becomes a desperate, tortured animal.
00:17:56 #170 But can these people be cured?
00:18:08 #171 Physically, yes.
00:18:09 #172 Mentally, there is no known permanent cure.
00:18:12 #173 Deprived of narcotics, the addict
00:18:14 #174 will undergo withdrawal symptoms for about six weeks.
00:18:18 #175 At the end of this period, his body will no longer need the drug,
00:18:22 #176 but the psychological need remains.
00:18:27 #177 Elaborate precautions must be taken to prevent the passage of narcotics into
00:18:31 #178 prisons.
00:18:33 #179 Double fine mesh screens,
00:18:35 #180 and a careful search of all articles intended for prisoners do much to
00:18:39 #181 discourage smuggling.
00:18:47 #182 Clothing intended for narcotics prisoners is soaked in water to
00:18:51 #183 To dissolve any narcotic, the articles might be saturated with.
00:19:12 #184 Now that he knows.
00:19:14 #185 Now that the suffering is over.
00:19:17 #186 Doesn't he realize the hell that awaits him if he slips back?
00:19:21 #187 Yes, he realizes it, and he'll fight.
00:19:24 #188 But the addict is not fit for such a fight.
00:19:28 #189 Narcotics have weakened his character, deteriorated his will.
00:19:34 #190 They may stay off a day, a month, a year, or more.
00:19:41 #191 But 99 out of 100 slip back.
00:19:44 #192 Back to one capsule a day, two capsules, four capsules.
00:19:50 #193 Back to $5 a day, $10, $20.
00:19:56 #194 Back to prostitution, armed robbery, jail.
00:20:01 #195 Back to the desperate race of men.
00:20:23 #196 Then there is no hope.
00:20:26 #197 The hope lies in prevention.
00:20:28 #198 Our laws must be strengthened and our enforcement agencies
00:20:31 #199 enlarged.
00:20:32 #200 And most important of all, be warned
00:20:34 #201 of the compelling, habit-forming danger of marijuana
00:20:37 #202 and the deadly addictiveness of the opiates.
00:20:40 #203 The people must be made aware.
00:20:43 #204 It is as social as well as a police problem.
