Scorpion sting for addicts in south Gujarat
AHMEDABAD: Addiction knows no barriers. From alcohol, to opium, to cough syrups, addicts flit form one grade of narcotics to another to achieve what the world has always deprived them of.
But when, even the fumes of heroin fail to offer that satiating trip to the world of hallucination, the addicts move on to another addiction.The elite of south Gujarat, bored with the mundane dope, have found a new high -- the scorpion sting.
