While conceding the drug was ‘fabulous the first time’, the veteran performer has one overwhelming message: don’t do it

John Cooper Clarke, the poet and performer who became famous during the punk rock era of the late 1970s, has said he didn’t want to quit taking heroin and weaned himself off the drug for the sake of society rather than for his own health.

Myself included! It was not like the flu as the clinics kept teĺling me. But in the great scheme of hùman suffering I feel a bit of a còck.

The times heroin addicts tell me that!

You look like you still haven’t mate....

An addict only wants to quit when they have absolutely nothing left

Having had codeine & morphine for medical purposes, I agree, opiates are bloody lovely

'Anyone would dig it. Anybody. Why? Because it is fabulous the first time. Don’t ever do it.” Red rag to a bull.

It is quite moorish though to be fair.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here & say, no addict ‘wants’ to quit heroin?

The message remains Dont Do Drugs..

I’m a big fan of official_jcc, but as someone who feels sick and disoriented from taking even cocodamol, I’m not sure I agree with him that ‘anyone would dig it’...

I met John Cooper Clarke in the 80s in Sheffield and at the time he appeared in a right state but fair play to him I suppose he has made it to 70

E allora il PD?

But you look so well on it!

I didn't want to quit cheese.

You can always tell a smack head. A bag of bones with skin on it. Just barely.

YOU GOT A PROBLEM

ugh..really? NO-ONE CARES ABOUT ANOTHER DOPEY PUBLIC DISPLAY!!!!!

Surely no one does? It's highly addictive.

What a stupid headline...

Put that photo on the mantelpiece and that should keep kids from drugs
