Clip from my BBC broadcast documentary Detox or Die. This is at the point where I’ve taken my last dose of methadone and set off to London for a ‘quick fix’ treatment with the visionary drug ibogaine. Here’s the BBC description of the film: ‘Detox or Die provides an in-depth portrait of a small-time drug addict seeking redemption. Addicted to opiates for almost 20 years, filmmaker David Graham Scott decides to opt for a quick fix. The radical detox agent ibogaine puts the user into a gut-wrenching hallucinatory state for 36 hours from which he emerges cleansed of his addiction. But several fatalities have been reported in connection with the unlicensed drug and Scott must weigh up the options before embarking on the trip of a lifetime.’ Broadcast as part of bbc1′s ONE life strand.
