April 2013, Yacin Sid's father had just left the witness box. "Look at me, look at Pierre's family, you must tell the truth, they need it." Yacin replied "That is why I have decided to confess today." His father said "This wasn't how I raised you, you have to answer all the questions so the truth can be told." Yacin's father continued "He was a lovely boy, he was always around me, I called him my shadow".
There was a dramatic twist that afternoon. Yacin Sid asked to be allowed speak: "I lied before the court, before the examining judge. I am the author of Pierre Nasica's murder. I'll explain to you what happened ..." He couldn't go on. His family was in shock. The hearing was suspended.
The hearing resumed at 14.40. Yacin Sid read his confession. "We ate a kebab at 1pm. I suggested him going to the parking garage at the Arsenal to smoke. We had been drinking at the kebab restaurant. We talked about credit cards. I had problems with drug debts. Pierre would have nothing to do with it. Pierre didn't take it seriously. He told me it was pointless. That pissed me off. I wanted to make him afraid. I had a knife in my bag. I took it out. I told him that he had to help me. He laughed. I stabbed him for the first time, I don't know where. I went at him relentlessly. He fell to the ground and I was raging. I couldn't understand what I was doing. I didn't recognize myself. He wasn't moving any more. That was when I understood. I shook him. I panicked. I had a lace in my belt. I put it around his hands to stage a believable scene. Afterwards, I was locked in total denial. I couldn't believe that I was capable of doing that. I ask his family's forgiveness. I'm confessing for the family, for justice. I accept the consequences of my actions. I never wanted to kill him. Pierre was always my best friend. I'll regret it my whole life. I'm sorry that I lied for two years."
Extract from l'Est républicain 8th April 2013
A drug-addict is someone who takes drugs in order to solve problems created by taking drugs. S/he thinks that s/he can stop taking them whenever s/he wants, however, in spite of the harmful consequences caused by consuming drugs, s/he cannot. If the drug-addict experiences withdrawal symptoms he will think only about providing himself with drugs even if it means acting against his morals. The demand is so strong that anything linked with will, effort, love or morals gradually disappears completely. Lies, violence, aggressiveness, moral or physical suffering, self-harm, being afraid to take part in everyday life become the norm. Because of these evil acts, the drug-addict looses his/her self-esteem and goes deeper into loneliness and suicidal urges.
A joint is made out of pure cannabis or grass; or hashish mixed with tobacco.
Alcohol is a general term, which covers a wide variety of products:
wine, cider, beer, port, cognac, whisky, vodka are types of alcohol with various rates of alcoholic content ranging from 5 to 90 ° (active principles)
Cannabis works the same way: but when we talk about a joint of grass or hashish, there are more than 100 varieties and its T.H.C. rate (active principles) –ranges from 4% to 35% - goes unnoted.alcools aux taux variés de 5 à 90 degrés ( principes actifs)
Most drugs are stored in the body fats for years. During an exertion, a walk, sport, fear, surprise, stimulation, a bit of fat is burnt and very small quantities of drugs are released into the blood circulation. This will reactivate the effects of the drugs, making the user feel that they want more.
Yes, Alcohol is a sedative drug. In drinking regularly a large amount of alcohol, one becomes an alcoholic within a few years. Alcohol is characteristically able to potentialize the effect of all other drugs it is mixed with. If one mixes alcohol with another or others drugs, one can very rapidly become a drug-addict.
AEROSOLS Nitrous oxide and other pressurized gases such as those contained in whipped cream canisters or computer anti-dust sprays also have hallucinogenic effects. In a few seconds they produce excitement, dizziness, euphoria, loss of consciousness and affect the central nervous system through lack of oxygen. Moreover they are inhaled under pressure and can provoke lung frostbite and vocal chords injuries, (eg. immediately after taking this drug the voice becomes lower.)
POPPERS Volatile nitrites have similar effects to nitrous oxide. Moreover they can provoke panic attacks, heart palpitations and headaches. They are also responsible for deaths by anoxia. They are vasodilators frequently used to relax sphincter muscles. They are carcinogenic and provoke serious immune deficiencies – such as AIDS.
STAIN REMOVER Stain removers are derived from ethylene. They are hallucinogenic but their effect is more calming, unlike poppers and aerosols, which are more stimulating. They cause damage that is neurological (deafness, tremor) and intellectual (dementia).
