In the "Say no to drugs" episode of the "Talk to Anila Hoxha" podcast, which is broadcast on Top Albania Radio, the topic of discussion was the use of drugs.

This scourge of society that has turned adults and children into users, that has produced other phenomena as the police report the arrest of users as perpetrators of events mainly violence and theft, and on the other hand it is observed that their treatment in the cell remains difficult.

600 people were recently arrested as drug dealers across the country and yet this is only one aspect. There is no data available on the number of users, even approximately.

The show started with an exclusive account of Clyde, a heroin user, who the day he found himself without money was recruited as a distributor to provide income for the dose. He has been arrested 3 times, and has recently turned into one of the many collaborators that the police are engaging as undercover buyers to curb the phenomenon.

Anila Hoxha: Klajdi, hello.

Clyde: Hello.

Anila Hoxha: How old are you?

Clyde: 44 years old.

Anila Hoxha: Do you continue to use drugs?

Klajdi: Now I have a period that I have disconnected, let's see how long it will last.

Anila Hoxha: Klajdi, how did you start drugs?

Klajdi: I started with cocaine, actually abroad. I was 19-20 years old. Then when I returned from Italy, after cocaine I also started heroin.

Anila Hoxha: In Tirana?

Klajdi: Yes, in Tirana. Yes, I have been a regular user of heroin for almost 20 years and after many attempts at the Military Hospital, at the Toxicologist, I have been hospitalized several times, but sometimes I won, sometimes I lost, until I came back again. Now let's see how long I can keep it. The first time I used heroin, without knowing what kind of drug it was. My friends just served it to me and I tried it. To be honest, I used it for a month without realizing it, without knowing what kind of drug I was taking. With foil, with boats. After I started it.

Anila Hoxha: And how much did you buy it for?

Klajdi: At first, my friends rented it to me, then when I got stuck in it, normally I bought it with Lek. And I did jail time for that. There comes a point when you can't handle the increase in the dose, 4 grams-5 grams a day, and you start to traffic it. Then it necessarily goes to the next level.

Anila Hoxha: How long have you been in prison, Klajdi?

Klydi: I spent 4 years in prison.

Anila Hoxha: For distribution?

Klydi: Yes, for distribution. Being a user as well, but more that is, I necessarily became a distributor at the time I speak because I could not afford the economic situation by buying 4-5 grams a day, I increased the consumption dose a lot.

Anila Hoxha: Were your friends users or distributors?

Klydi: My friends were users. Then necessarily this does not have a static thing, ie. you can be only a user for a period, then you pass to the next level, you become a user and a distributor, then you pass back to being only a user. It is a dynamic thing, what can I call it?

Anila Hoxha: Are you now both a user and a distributor or just a user?

Klajdi: Now I am neither a distributor nor a user, I have given up.

Anila Hoxha: From both?

Clyde: From both. Today it is a problem of the lek, the cash.

Anila Hoxha: I understand. How easy do you find it?

Clyde: Very easy.

Anila Hoxha: We go now. Where can we find?

Klajdi: It can be bought in any place, in any corner of Tirana.

Anila Hoxha: What do the police do?

Klajdi: The police take the measures, they do their jobs. But when those who sell are caught, others will come after them. Of course, the police do their work, there is a beginning that has no end.

Anila Hoxha: And how much does a dose of heroin cost?

Klaydi: 10 thousand ALL (old). A dose is 1/5, 1/6 of a gram. Very small thing. Own 60-70 thousand lek per gram (old). Count it in grams.

Anila Hoxha: What about cocaine?

Klajdi: Cocaine goes for 100 thousand lekshi (old). I divide one gram of cocaine into 3 doses, 0.33. Some sell it for 30,000 Lek (old), some for 40,000 Lek (old). Between 100-120 thousand ALL per gram.

Anila Hoxha: Were you part of drug distribution networks or...?

Klydi: I've done it all in life.

Anila Hoxha: Let's start. What have you done?

Klydi: What did I do?! Of course, I would take them out, because I didn't drink only 5 doses.

Anila Hoxha: For heroin?

Clyde: Yes, for heroin. I drank through my nose. I drank 4-5 grams a day. Then I could drink another gram of cocaine.

Anila Hoxha: What were your most difficult moments while using heroin?

Klajdi: The moments of leaving... The moments when I made prison that I left, that I went through those embarrassments.

Anila Hoxha: Why were you arrested? Where are you selling?

Klydi: In flagrante delicto. In the Block area. Actually, I was not alone. I was with another person. And we were caught in his house. To say that I distributed daily and some people manipulated me would be an exaggeration. Normally I would take it to someone and distribute it for my own interests.

Anila Hoxha: And how much did you earn per day?

Clyde: I was earning enough. I cut my expenses. Don't be in debt to anyone.

Anila Hoxha: Doesn't the use of users turn into an exploitation by those who run drug distribution networks?

Klajdi: Yes, I would agree, if the head of the network was caught. One who supplies the distributor. Because the one who supplies the distributor, I assure you, he does not drink drugs at all. It's another level. There will always be such creations of distributors, users who get caught, get arrested, stay in jail, but the main ones always remain intact. Because they cannot be caught. No, because the police don't want to catch you. Now make a resume, when there is a crackdown, 300 people are arrested every 3 months in Tirana. "2 Temples" have been built so far, now "Temple 3" is expected to be built. It does not mean that they are all caught. That is, a good part has been captured, a large part. As soon as 100 people were caught, you can be sure another 100 came out within a week. I had friends with 2-3 of them.

Anila Hoxha: Have you had fellow users who died from drugs?

Klydi: One of them has died, there is a son. The other from overdose. Many people have died, many at all.

Anila Hoxha: Heroin or cocaine user?

Clyde: Heroin and cocaine.

Anila Hoxha: What about cocaine, how is it distributed in Tirana and other cities?

Klajdi: Like heroin is distributed, cocaine is also distributed.

Anila Hoxha: With doses or locally?

Klydi: In doses. There are people who distribute it in bars, there are people who distribute it on the street. There are people who come to serve it, bring it home. There are people.. There are all kinds of ways.

Anila Hoxha: But how do they bring him home?

Klydi: There are people who have points. That they open a bar or a tobacconist that sells cigarettes and when they give a package, they also give a piece of the product.

Anila Hoxha: How is heroin distributed?

Clyde: A slightly different heroine. Through the suburbs or.. that is, the other person will not bring you by car, you will always wear it to the points, to the areas where it is distributed.

Anila Hoxha: In which area of ​​Tirana is heroin distributed?

Klydi: In all areas.

Anila Hoxha: Which are typical?

Klajdi: More or less the biggest area, that is, that has always been problematic is this area from the United School, Allias, Kinostudio. This pond here has always been problematic. What about cocaine?

Klajdi: Cocaine all over Tirana. I said all of Tirana, that is, starting from Astiri, Kombinat, Bllok, New Tirana, in... I've seen, I've come across coke drinkers and can collectors. And this is an absurdity. This is crazy. To drink a man who has no bread, to eat cocaine, is madness. Once upon a time they drank vipa, now they drink it every...

Anila Hoxha: Are you talking about the carp?

Clyde: For the carp. Crack, it's cocaine, but you drink it. When it boils, I completely remove the impurities and drink only the cream.

Anila Hoxha: Does your family know that you use drugs?

Clyde: Yes, I know. He always knew in the beginning. I actually haven't used it in a while now.

Anila Hoxha: How many times have you tried to quit drugs?

Klajdi: Unë ato herë që kam tentuar e kam lënë të them të drejtën. Po problem është që e kam lënë 2- 3 vjet deri 4 vjet por problemi është mbasi asaj periudhe e kam rifilluar prapë. Ky është problem. Jam shtruar tek Zihni Sula.

Anila Hoxha: Sa kohë je shtruar?

Klajdi: Vajta kohë që nuk kam qenë më tek ai.

Anila Hoxha: Sa qëndrove aty?

Klajdi: Herën e fundit, 2 javë. Pak muaj kam që e kam lënë.

Anila Hoxha: Çfarë të bën më shumë përshtypje përsa i takon përdorimit të drogës në Shqipëri dhe shpërndarjes?

Klajdi: Që njerëzit nuk i tremben më ligjit. Bëjnë blerje fiktive nga burime të sigurta në bashkëpunim me prokurorinë, të autorizuara, që normalisht edhe nga prokuroria. Ti ke mbaruar edhe si shpërndarës. Je për burg. Dhe sikur kur të vijë dita që do arrestohesh dhe të mos të të gjejnë gjë me vete, ti ke mbaruar. Shumica e përdoruesve nuk e kanë qejf ta përdorin drogën, kanë ngecur. Do të të tregoj një sekret. Ka qenë një periudhë e imja, nuk dija ku ta blija e kisha lënë faktikisht nuk e pija, nuk dija ku ta blija sepse nuk kisha njohje ngaqë kisha ardhur nga jashtë. Mbas 4 vjetësh dhe thashë shyqyr që nuk njoh njeri. Isha një moment i qetë. Rastësisht më del përpara një i njohur. Kisha vite. Që pasi më doli ai, u fika. U preva. Sepse e dija që do më fuste në lojë prapë.

Anila Hoxha: Si ua shpërndaje drogën?

Klajdi: E shpërndaja, nuk pyesja. E shpërndaja vetë me makinë. Qe diçka që e zgjodha vetë ta bëja me dëshirë.

Anila Hoxha: Sa shpërndaje dhe çfarë drogë shpërndaje?

Klajdi: Të dyja i shpërndaja unë. Edhe kokainën dhe heroinën.

Anila Hoxha: Të vinte keq për ata që…?

Klajdi: Unë helmoja edhe veten time. Kur ‘smë vinte keq për veten time. Është një pyetje retorike. Dihet se kush është përdorues.

Anila Hoxha: Si dihet?

Klajdi: Dihet, se njihen. Po zë një shembull. Unë jam shpërndarës. Unë njoh 5 veta që janë klientë të mi. Këta të 5 secili nga këta më sjell 2-3 klientë të tjerë të rinj. Këta 2-3 të tjerë sjellin nga 2-3 të tjerë.

Anila Hoxha: Një metastazë e madhe.

Klajdi: Po, zinxhir. Kështu funksionon.

Anila Hoxha: Si të arrestuan?

Klajdi: Këtë dua të them unë. Kur shteti do, të fik. Nuk të lë . Nuk më kapën asnjë gjë mua. Thjesht kapnin atë që vinte të blinte tek mua dhe ai hidhte firmën. Me 3 firma unë mbeta në burg. Bëra 4 vjet burg. Mua smë kapën asnjë gjë në shtëpi.

Anila Hoxha: Ka shpërndarës të mitur në fushën e drogës?

Klajdi: Të mitur jo. Unë nuk njoh , të them të drejtën. Mund të ketë. Nuk ia kam idenë.

Anila Hoxha: Po përdorues të mitur?

Klajdi: Ka plot, sa të duash. Është fushata ime . Jam një me policinë.

Anila Hoxha: E ke nisur?

Klajdi: Po, e kam nisur.

Anila Hoxha: Je bërë partner me policinë apo je bërë ndihmësi i tyre?

Klajdi: Partner jam.

Anila Hoxha: Në çfarë kuptimi?

Klajdi: Në kuptimin që e kam personale tani. O do pastrohet vendi o s’ka.

Anila Hoxha: Cili ka qenë momenti më i vështirë që ti e ke parë veten keq nga ana shëndetësore?

Klydi: That's why I have lightning now. Only with your nose, because you sleep. It's been a long time since I drank. I have a little left. We need time to recover, now.

Anila Hoxha: What does the family say? Do they support you?

Klydi: They support me but they don't know that I started again and I'm on leave now. I have tried both periods. For years. Long periods, 4 years without using drugs and 4 years using drugs. 4 years since I used drugs, you are not conscious. That you have no idea what happens. The day is gone only with drugs. It doesn't taste like anything. Neither family nor society. No restaurants, no going out for a drink with family or friends. Nothing. It's a life...Your life is wasted. Anxious, stressed, to find the dose, to buy the dose.

Anila Hoxha: Thank you very much Klajdi.
