Drugs information and policy charity DrugScope has launched an online gallery of
photographs which it is auctioning online. 
The Thin White Lies gallery features
photographs from three decades that represent “every common assumption, stereotype
and misconception about drug taking and the associated risks.”

They range from the shocking June 2000 image of cocaine-ravaged actress Daniella
Westbrook minus her septum, to an Afghan poppy field, and Zammo, the character from
BBC TV’s Grange Hill series.

 

 

All images are available in the auction which is being run in-house by DrugScope,
rather than on an online auction service such as eBay.

 

 

The process is therefore very straightforward with a simple Web-based form which
accepts bids. The charity has set minimum opening bids from £200 to £350, depending
on the item.

 

 

The auction of the 26 photographs closes on 15 November.
