Public domain public service announcement video from the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seedpod of the Asian poppy plant. Heroin usually appears as a white or brown powder. Street names for heroin include “smack,” “H,” “skag,” and “junk.” Other names may refer to types of heroin produced in a specific geographical area, such as “Mexican black tar.” Heroin can be used in a variety of ways, depending on …
Nice concept & very good video. Comments were a bit rythmic as well which was really nice and gave a minimal yet to-the-point message! well done man!
namanamara, thank you for your comments!
Looks like he took too much.
Let me ask you something..do you think being goodlooking necessarily translates into being happy? Do you think Rodney feels better in the implied goodlooking picture than he does in the heroin pictures?
Good post. There is another good one done by the wife of the late Bradley Nowell of Sublime. He himself OD’d on heroin and she does an anti-drug commercial mentioning this.
NightTimeRightTime, thank you for watching!
so your friend’s name was? heroin or rodney?
Your SO not funny
he was so handsome and delicate looking:) im so srry for your loss heroine and any type of drug even something as small as a cig(cancer stick)can ruin ur life and definately effect others
Weithr h was good-looking b4 or not is irrelevent…if anybody wants to hat eabout his good looks, then its just jealousy..
Addiction afflicts us ALL and his brought him down to there..NOBODY can judge, EVERYBODY got an addiction!! I u say no, ur just lying to urself
It’s a shame that so many people do different kinds of illegal drugs. I wish that it would STOP. I HATE it when people die from illegal drugs. By the way, that video is helpful to keep people off of drugs. Well done for uploading it!

He Looked Pretty High So Whats Bad About Heroin
Thanks for this video. It’s hard to watch friends mess up their lives with drugs. It’s even harder to watch them die from them. I shot smack for 10 years. For the past six years I’ve been off of it and living a normal life. My purpose of saying this is to let ppl know that it is possible to get off of it. It’s very difficult but IS possible. You don’t have to die.
krazimuffin, thank you very much for your comments — they will help others. Regards…
I knew that cat when I worked in Hollywood. He was a good guy with a bad problem. Like a lot of people I know.
This Video goes deeper than his looks. Other things as stress/ depression can change our looks, but the subject here is Heroin. My point is what’s going on inside of us shows through our looks as well as our personality. I am sorry for Rodney as he could have had a great life wether he was goodlooking or not. You with the SMART REMARKS: You too will lose someone you loved, from drugs. It is the one thing that has no No Prejudice at all…You might have someone in your family now using.
Everyone’s on drugs. Truthfully, honestly, everyone I know I know is on drugs.
I’m 17 and live on my dad’s farm in Nebraska. I’ve never even seen drugs and wouldn’t know what they look like if I saw them. About the most kids do around here is drink beer. Does that make me a square and un-cool person? I’ve often wondered about that.
Good but sad video, hopefully this will help others relize they can get out of smack.
My fave Musician died of heroin
im 17 from Los Angeles and no one thinks your cool if u use drugs they think ur cool if u live on the edge and drugs are the easy way to do that.
but all u need 2 be cool is a brain, a razor sharp tounge, unique look and sun glasses.
it doesnt hurt to be good looking
Been down that river. This video is short, not preachy, and I think very hard hitting. I got off meth and H 9 years ago. I used to mix them together and shoot ‘em sometimes. Lost everything. But I quit, and it’s possible, even though it’s hard to live with the aftermath and look at yourself in the mirror afterwards. The hardest for me is remembering what I pissed away to drugs (my dignity, relationship, possessions all sold for nothing) and what an asshole I was to those who love me…
I knew someone who died from that…. that ish is serious..
Partnership FADFA is full of shit.Years ago all of their non-porfit funding was from alcohol and cigarette companies.oooh, alcohol good, drugs bad?that’s fucking stupid.they also had commercials PSA stating that marijuana made people violent.hmmm, excuse me, what the fuck???God, I hope those stoned people don’t attack me!! LOL Fucked up completely.
