A warning as to what drugs can do to you....Leave them alone is the best advice.

Drugs kill.
Dont even have to take them, but, just get mixed up in the seedy business.
At least he has a second chance at life...even though he will have a long recovery time and will never be able to look in a mirror without being reminded of the ordeal.

This is a shocking story.

I think this story should be told to school children in the hope that it deters them from trying drugs, I know this sounds harsh but it is a reality.

This sort of stuff wouldn't happen with legalisation.

:confused
How's that exactly?

Just because something is legal doesn't mean people wont run up debts with suppliers.

I mean selling and taxing in licensed, regulated establishments, taking funds away from these dodgy drugs barons.

Unbelievable to think that this is a Caithness man we are talking about. Should serve as a salutory lesson to anyone contemplating dabbling in drugs at whatever level and will let them see that the consequences are horrific when things get out of hand. It smacks of a storyline straight out of Underbelly (tonight 9pm STV).

How on earth do you deal with drugs wisely? Plain and simple, drugs is bad news, whether your dealing or taking.
