Drugs have been in Daniel Missens’ life since he was 12 years-old – where they provided an escape from a broken home.
“So you’re going to turn to something to get yourself out of that situation – to block it,” he said.
“So when you’re using drugs you’re blocking it. Its putting you in a state of mind where you’re happy and content.”
Over his 45 years – Missens has used many drugs.
Beginning with marijuana, moving to cocaine, hydromorphine, crystal meth and most recently – fentanyl.
“I still on occasion do fentanyl so … I’m not completely out of it,” he said.
