'Little Criminals' - 2001(Clip 1: I am a junkie/intro to Chris)

[human453]

don't look any thing like junkies got all their teeth still got veins inside the elbow

lifes too short those who have a hand in their death are true lovers and livers of life so get on the nod make it last

junk prolongs life by slowing metabolism

[DougglesMagnificent]

oh boy i've dropped shit in my car before....once lost in a crack, for which i had to rip a panel off!

[jonesingforsilver]

Did he say three generations of drug users staying in the same home?

How do they ever brake the cycle? I was just reading about how they treat drug users in Asia.Thailand is still stuck in the Boot camp mentality.When will they ever learn?

[davidgrahamscott]

@jonesingforsilver Maybe iboga could help break the cycle...

[jonesingforsilver]

@davidgrahamscott I wasn't aware of this treatment.I see this is what you used,is that correct?

In the article that I read about Thailand the General in charge of the drug uses boot camp kept telling them they should put more fish sauce (staple in Thailand) on their food.As well as having more sweets.People still think you can pound this out of people with marching.I have a friend who's been addicted to Opium for 20 years.Now he's on heavy pain killers.Won't stop.Been in rehab twice.Sad story.

[davidgrahamscott]

@jonesingforsilver Yes, I did that in the Detox or Die film. All available to watch on Vimeo channel for free btw!

[jonesingforsilver]

Thanks DGS. I really wanted to watch the full film but couldn't find it.I will go on over and watch it this afternoon on Vimeo. Cheers - as you cats say.

[davidgrahamscott]

@jonesingforsilver You are welcome!! Enjoy 'em all!

[toweronepower]

The film came close to destroying me lol WHY??

[davidgrahamscott]

@toweronepower I started using junk again (naively thought as an ex-user I could just remain an observer). Detox or Die is the follow-up docu where I take ibogaine and try and clean myself up.



[toweronepower]

@davidgrahamscott Oh i see, i misunderstood, my bad bro.

[scrubs22222222]

Come to america. There is enough dope for the entire world is this land of BS dreams! lol All you have to do is go to Baltiomore, Maryland, or Washinton, Dc it were all the dope is at. Good dope too! lol Just becareful my friends from the UK everyone has guns in Ameerica so you miight want to say straped when making a trip to the hood

[Georgie2500]

where can i watch little criminals?

[davidgrahamscott]

@Georgie2500 I can send a copy but its not NTSC. PAL system...so it won't work on your player I'm afraid.

[Georgie2500]

@davidgrahamscott Im not sure what kind of player I have to be honest. I dont have a DVD player but my laptop plays DVDS on it.

Perhaps one day when you have the time you could upload it to youtube for everybody to enjoy watching?

[davidgrahamscott]

@davidgrahamscott It might play PAL DVDs but its hard to say. PAL is the UK system for DVDs/Video

[dice786]

where can i watch all of this??? i mean complete doc?

[CrazyJunkPunk]

@davidgrahamscott

your videos little criminals and detox or die that was on the BBC were really great. I am also an addict and once I too tried to document the junky life style, but I failed...I became too caught up in it that I forgot what it was i was trying to do in the first place...I hope you put out more videos and the best of luck too you in the future...

[disasterpiece112]

what is the heroin like in scotland? i live in portland, oregon, usa, on the west coast and the herion here is a sticky dark black substance. called black tar or just black.

[davidgrahamscott]

@disasterpiece112 Usually a light brown powder that comes from Afghanistan or Northern Pakistan. The quality seems to have got better over the years I believe.

[Georgie2500]

@davidgrahamscott I heard there is a huge U.K / Europe heroin shortage going on for the past month or so?

[davidgrahamscott]

@Georgie2500 Heard that too but I don't buy it so not that sure.

[Georgie2500]

@davidgrahamscott I frequent a popular drug messageboard and a lot of the mebers from the U.K have been claiming it's either been real dry for the past month or no matter who they score from they are getting dope that turns into a hard crystal like substance when sucked into the barrel of the syringe, hence making it immpossible or deadly to inject it, not to mention there's no actual heroin in it.

[davidgrahamscott]

@Georgie2500 That sounds awful..

[green500]

love these little clips the show looks awesome l always think london is a double edged sword for scots at times alot of people heading for the bright lights but they end up on the streets and on drugs cause it just sucks them up and spits them out

[KevinDolin]

"Little criminals" AKA "black youth".

[JRooster101]

Where can I get a copy of the full film?

[rovacab1]

Keep up the good work David. Addicts need help, not executing like some idiots on here think. They have obviously had very good upbringings.

[planes3333]

@rovacab1

good words dude, they would have shot me in the head if i lived in china, thankfully I live in Canada XD

[seasicksweetheart]

Where could i find the full version of this? I seen detox or die, That was amazing..

[davidgrahamscott]

Bits of this film were in Detox. I can usually get copies but my DVD recorder is buggered just now. Get back to me after new year.

[kingdomofdalriada]

Heroins cool, I'm going to start taking it.

[davidgrahamscott]

@kingdomofdalriada Haha!

[kingdomofdalriada]

Only J/K great documentary, why did the coppers want your tapes ?

[davidgrahamscott]

They busted me for coercing the subjects to use heroin (because I followed them around!). Came down to my flat and were looking for anything that could further strengthen their case.

[kingdomofdalriada]

I cant see anything in your videos that can lead anyone to believe you were being in anyway coercive.

Were you charged and taken to court ?

[davidgrahamscott]

It happened just after the part where we were arrested as Chris tried to score. He was pressurised to make statements re exchanges of money and that was carefully crafted by the police to make it sound like I was buying them heroin..total garbage! I spent a few nights in the police cells and went to court a couple of times. Case not proven!

[gaelicscots]

"Case not proven!"

I think this verdict is a travesty and needs scrapped. Not Proven means not guilty.

[davidgrahamscott]

Certainly should and it implies that you may well be guilty but they didn't have enough evidence to actually make it stick..in an English court that would be 'Not Guilty!'.

[planes3333]

@davidgrahamscott

I am sober from heroin and crystal meth for 8.5 months

[davidgrahamscott]

@planes3333 Good on you..that's a doubly hard habit to break and you did it. DGS x

[planes3333]

@davidgrahamscott

thanks !! I think Jesus had a hand in it though !!!

[planes3333]

@kingdomofdalriada

have fun with the constipation! and yes I know your being sarcastic : )

[laserpointer007]

i know what you mean... i don't know why I wanted to be ajunkie too... why did I want such destruction and chaos? He put the words real well.

[leobuck88]

Favorite/ Good

[MAKER6450]

its the needle that grabs you by the balls, its a wqhole different addiction unlike anything else...david knows this, he knows the addiction to the needle.

iv seen the needle and the damage done:(

[ftpb1]

smack should be called ''a bag 'o' fuk yer life up".

[MAKER6450]

smacks a good name...it "SMACKS" the fukn life out of ya.

[MAKER6450]

Watch this guys doco called "detox or die", its amazing and its a good look at the hell of heroin and methadone addiction in the UK.

Search it on here "detox or die"...it will leave you gob smackt.

[MAKER6450]

i hate it when you drop your dope in the car haha...it gets stuck in between the seats.

[Pauluk33]

i;m going to come back to this, intresting stuff. never EVER EVER well touch the stuff, but i like this kind iof things its raw and has the person said above, no bullshit

[Tetrix03]

i like your documentaries, there's no place for bullshitting.i was quite impress by a german photographer called tobias zielony who photograph people with low lifes.

[Mrgyn]

Haha. **Drops the dope**

"Where the fuck did that go?"

[Vaultboy101]

ralphinioresurrected, there's nothing more pretentious than a self righteous troll.

Brings back some uncomfortable memories, I've been in some "dens" like that. I have to admit I could never stand to be there too long, even if free drugs were on offer. I just couldn't stand the thought of that being my fate, and without my family it would already be. The years pass so quick when you're addicted, a junkies life is one of manic repetition.

[ralphinioresurrected]

Nothing more boring than a self absorbed junkie.

[pfalky2k]

nothing more fun than nailing said self-obssessed junkie to a tree & letting 3 or 4 dogs at it ;) (not that i personally know, sadly)

[SeeYouNextFall]

But alcoholics are okay in your mind right? Because its legal that makes people like you think "its okay, even if they get on the highway and kill a school bus load of children"

I guess ignorance is bliss.

[pfalky2k]

it seems you'd know all about ignorance, since you ignore the fact that i have NEVER said any kind of crime is acceptable. jails should merely be waiting rooms for a gas chamber as far as i'm concerned. back to your point. any alkie who kills as a result of their addiction should be put to death, like anyone who kills with a vehicle. many alkies still manage to fund their own habit, hold down steady jobs & contribute to society. EVERY junkie i ever saw/heard of assaults,robs, kills etc...

[SeeYouNextFall]

I think its strange that you cannot form a sentence unless if its name calling and personal attacks.Anyhow, since you think "jails should merely be waiting rooms for a gas chamber as far as i'm concerned" Are you saying NON-violent criminals should be put to death?

Also, there are MANY addicts who do not go around and rob and kill. I was one of them. I did hold down a steady job teaching ESL at a local college.

Furthermore, if heroin was legal, junkies wouldn't need to break the law.

[pfalky2k]

you, personally, held down a steady job (past tense? no that steady, eh?) & they don't NEED to break the law. they freely & in full knowledge CHOOSE to break the law. don't ever bleat to me about "poor wee junkies". not when i have to keep a range of weapons to safeguard my home & family from them. junkies are vermin. they need & deserve NOTHING! but wholesale extermination.

[SeeYouNextFall]

Yes I had a steady job when I was an addict. Now I am a student at a very good University finishing my Masters AND publishing my first book. Not bad for junkie scum, huh? As far as puttign addicts "to death", did you know of great people in history were addicts. Here are a few: John Lennon Robert Kennedy Howard Hughes David Bowie Alexander the Great And the list goes on and on and on. But if you had your way those amazing people would be "put to death". Have a good day.

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

you again

your a classic nuff nuff

[pfalky2k]

as for your other nonsense, "name-calling"? where, exactly. all i did was simply & plainly state facts. & as for this tripe about "non-violent crimes"? there is no such thing as a victimless crime. except in cases of defence of self, family & home, any who knowingly & maliciously perpetrate a criminal act to appease their own greed & laziness should be put to death. as you would any vermin or parasite. want treated as a human? behave as a human.

[SeeYouNextFall]

I said "non-violent" not "victimless". Look in a dictionary love, those are two different things.

Again, I ask you. Should a person guilty of a petty crime, maybe something like shoplifting be put to death?

If so, you would fit in fine in North Korea or Iran.

Im sure you have committed a crime sometime in your life. Perhaps you went beyond the speed limit? Didn't stop at a stop sign. Perhaps you have littered?

Do you call yourself "vermin, parasite" and think you should be "put to death"?

[pfalky2k]

if a crime has a victim, an innocent suffers from a villain's actions. so much for "petty crime". the villain should then, at the very least, be flayed. the guilty MUST suffer far more than their victims. otherwise, anarchy reigns. i have never commited a crime. never drove over the speed limit. never ran a stop sign. never stolen raped or killed. unlike you, it seems, i chose to stay within the law. if i did choose crime, then yes, i should be executed.

[robshaka00]

Very interesting. A pity it wasn't aired as it looks like a very compelling doc.

[davidgrahamscott]

Parts were actually broadcast in a later documentary called Detox or Die

[drazil91]

all I can say is WOW. Really gripping stuff. Once again, I have been sheltered.

[echoofadistant]

every time i see one of your clips my heart wrenches from within my chest

[0xXstarXx0]

oh my goodness...its like lookin in to a mirror from the past...the amount of time i dropped stuff in the car and spent hours lookin for it.
