Silver Kiss – Testimony
It seems like people still aren’t taking the Silver Kiss problem seriously. The government refuse to accept that it’s dangerous and the public by and large are ignoring the issue altogether. This is just not good enough! I’ve spoken to people who’ve used Silver Kiss, or live with users, and I know exactly how dangerous it is! One of the people I spoke to, Amy*, is a werewolf who was brave enough to let me share her experiences with you all. Until recently, fifteen-year-old Amy was a regular user of Silver Kiss. Amy says:
I only started smoking Silky because my human friends were doing it, and I wanted to fit in with them. I think it was just the normal kind at first – we were getting my friend’s brother to buy it for us from the shops. But then I started getting it from my cousin, and that was the stuff with monkshood in it, and I really liked it. It just made me feel all energetic and lively at first. Then I started to get tired all the time, and lose my appetite. I was throwing up any time I ate anything, so I lost loads of weight and my mum thought I was anorexic. After a couple of weeks I was getting really moody and snappy if I didn’t have three or four Silkies a day. Then I needed more than that to make me feel awake enough just to get through school, like a whole pack, maybe even two. I couldn’t afford to pay for it all the time, so I started stealing it from my cousin when I was at his house.
I thought it was okay – it’s just herbs, so I didn’t think it could really hurt me. But then my cousin disappeared and I had nobody to buy proper Silky from, and I just sort of went a bit mad. I had a massive fight with my mum, and I smashed up my bedroom. I punched out the window and had to get stitches all up my arms. Then I had a fight with another wolf at school when he wouldn’t give me any of his Silky, and we both ended up in hospital. I don’t remember much about it, but the doctors say I nearly lost my eye. That’s when I told my parents what was happening.
Fortunately for Amy, with her parents’ support, she was able to get off Silver Kiss relatively easily. For others, it’s a different story. You may have read the newspaper stories about young wolves going missing across the country recently. Although nobody’s saying it, we all know that Silver Kiss is the common link. These wolves were all addicts, like Amy’s cousin. And now, like Amy’s cousin, they’re missing. It’s clear what’s happening: wolves forced into theft and debt to supply their habit are falling foul of drug dealers and each other in their obsession with Silver Kiss.
When is the government going to wake up and realise what’s going on right under our noses? How many wolves like Amy must there be before they take action? How many wolves must go missing to get their attention?
Sign this petition to classify Silver Kiss as a dangerous, addictive drug and we’ll present it to the world at an open forum 1st March 2010. If we don’t act now, who will?
