Award-winning documentary FACING THE HABIT (Director, Magnolia Martin) tells the story of Dave, a former stockbroker/millionaire whose life has spiraled out of control due to his heroin addiction.

In his desperate quest to become clean, Dave agrees to undergo treatment with ibogaine, an experimental substance derived from the West African root Iboga, which has recently been reported to cure drug addiction.

FACING THE HABIT is an intimate look into the life of the addict, as Dave's life is revealed before, during, and after the treatment.

@BENJITOXIC That doesn't make it a smart or cool thing to do. I was addicted to opiates for over 15 years, I've been clean for the last 3, and nothing has ruined my life more. Whether or not that is a result of the way society is doesn't matter. It is what it is. It will never change. Drugs create stigma, people are ignorant, so you get fucked if you do drugs. Period. I paid, and am still paying way more than I owe, with blood and tears. It's nothing to glorify is basically what I'm saying.

@jeffbrak Right the fuck on,dude. Respect. If there wasnt some form of drug abused by society the world would be a very empty place if you ask me. I reckon 99% of people use some form of drug as escapism whether its chocolate cake (yes,chocolate is a drug), wine (deffo a drug!) or magic mushrooms (fungi) we all alter our consciousness to make the world more bareable on a daily basis, some more than others.
