Daily Drug Diet Dispensed After Midnight To Addicts By DOUG MARSHALL LONDON (CP)--At 10 min- utes to midnight any day of the week patrolling London bobbies try hard to ignore the knotso ry hard to ignore the knots of nervous, white-faced men clus- tered outside the all-night drug store in Piccadilly Circus, They are the dregs of Brit- ain's 650-odd registered drug addicts --the ones who don't care any more, They recognize each other out shrink from strangers. They could be from anywhere. It's a fairly safe bet, how- ever, that a portion of them are Canadians. Most of the addicts haunting Piccadilly are men in their 20s, A' 11:30 p.m. they pass their prescriptions across the coun- ter, Then comes the most ago- nizing half-hour of their day. Not until Big Ben strikes 12 is the pharmacist allowed to dis- pense the daily diet of heroin) and cocaine. Sometimes addicts are s0 desperate they try to inject a shot under one of the store's counters or in a passageway. But usually they make it to a cubicle in the men's washroom) of Piccadilly subway station. TAKE SHOT QUICKLY There, using a necktie or a) piece of string as a tourniquet | and water from the lavatory pan, they inject straight into a protruding arm vein. They get an immediate "jolt" and may retch, Then they feel just fine-- brimming with false energy, apparent clarity of mind and); good intentions. Thus, sordidly -- | -- but t legally and unmolested -- a British junkie begins his day, A man who hasn't taken drugs for two years describes the craved-for euphoria as "no more exciting than the sensa- tion the average guy gets when he gulps down two double scotches,"" Ironically, in Britain, heroin can come cheaper than whisky. t|A dose costs only two shillings --the standard charge for any National Health Service pre- scription, In the welfare state milk of magnesia and morphia cost the same. this enlight- poe attitude to drugs would prevent the addiction problem ever getting out of hand. Now they are beginning to wonder. Certainly there is still no ma- jor black market in drugs. No pusher can hope to compete against the state's prices. But the rate of increase in addic- tion although infinitesimal lcompared with rates in the United States or even Canada, is causing grave concem. ADDICTS DOUBLE | The number of registered ad- ldicts has more than doubled' in| ithe last 10 years, Police think| \there may be several hundred more not registered on the Home Office list. This is be- leause neither doctor nor "pa: tient is legally obliged to regis- ter, although all addicts can be traced eventually through pre-| scriptions. More worrying is the increase in known teen-age addicts, 1959 there were none; fot there are at least 15.

Finally, the British addiction problem received its worst jolt in 1960 whén a group of Cana- dian addicts arrived in force to take advantage of the more humanitarian laws here, Said one pharmacist of the Canadian invasion: "It was like a typhoid -|epidemic.""
