| Submitted by: Mark Elliott (kjgl@davidbowie.co.uk) Spud… on the ‘db’ drug It was probably about 1972 or 73. I must have been about 8 or 9 years old when the db drug was first made available to me. My brother was the first user in our house, he would disappear into his bedroom and close the door behind him. Then I would hear the apparatus being set up. He was always very careful with his needle though, I was told never to go near his needle. "you keep outta here spud, don’t ever touch my fuckin needle." There was prolonged use of the same needle then. Not like today, less people are using needles now, there’s quicker ways to get your fix. Anyway, when he went out at nights I used his needle. Not long after that, I got my own and became a regular user, have been ever since. Over quarter of a century later I’m still using. Seen a lot of changes though, back then the db stuff was mixed with some sort of wax, then as things developed we got a more direct hit using lasers, still do. But once in a while we get it pure, and fuck me thats the best hit you’ll ever get. This is the wrap my last pure hit came in. I’m still reelin from it….and I’m never coming down….Never.
