Jim's Drug Diary Entry
As the diary progresses it becomes dark and troubling, Jims’ drug activity and drug choices are increasing. He now smokes marijuana, injects heroine, “pops” valium, drinks codeine cough syrup and takes LSD. More and more of his diary entries are about his drug usage and “hustling” as he calls it. However, “his hustling” is his colorful word usage for prostitution.
His drug usage is a constant thread throughout the diary. Jim states that he often shares needles and would not hesitate injecting it after others has used it. There are a few entries that confirm this. In the fall of 1965 they are no longer able to “shoot up” at Headquarters because big Joe overdoses there. Jim and his friends are not “shooting up” in the park. During the summer
