Former heroin addict warns of drug dangers

A former heroin addict who's been forced to have a limb amputated, has issued a stark warning to young people not to get hooked. Jamie Connor from Folkestone had been using the drug for ten years when an overdose left him fighting for his life. He was so ill, surgeons had to remove his left leg. He spoke to ITV Meridian from his hospital bed and pleaded with others not to repeat his mistakes. You may find some of the images in Malcolm Shaw's report distressing.
