"Don't Marry the Dragon" is a documentary video about heroin addiction. The video is based on a poem I wrote in jail. The content and technical aspects of the video are available on the order video page in PDF format.

The video is considered, "real documentary". Although the video is useful to the public, it was created with the pre-teen child in mind, however; it may not be suitable for anyone under the age of nine. A guideline for parents is to ask these questions; would I let my child watch the TLC (The Learning Channel), or documentary programs on HBO? I suggest parents watch the video first. The video is 80 minutes in length.

The organization of "Don't Marry the Dragon & Other Extreme Productions is a brainchild of mine. Although it’s a business, most of my products are free. Above are links to some other pages of interest including how to order the video.The video is on DVD although police agencies and some other institutions can still order it in the VHS format. The video was filmed in and around my hometown - Seattle, Washington, USA

Since the completion of the video in 2003 it has been shown in many places around the free world, but mostly in the United States. Some of the places it has been played in are: rehabilitation centers, detox facilities, hospitals, prisons, police training, fire departments, public and private schools, youth detention centers, teen runaway shelters, but it mostly has been viewed by the friends and families of addicts.

One last thing, I am a Christian and share about my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. You may want to read the review in the Newspaper Article that was written about the video. This is a non-partisan story by the Everett Herald.

Producer: Lawrence M. DuBois

Don't get me wrong, heroin has done a lot for me. It got me on a first-name basis with the trauma surgeon and I have met a lot of cool nurses.

Anyone of us could die at any moment. I should have died in January 2004. After waking up paralyzed in a heroin flop house, I laid on the floor for nearly three days before my peers decided to take me to the hospital a couple of blocks away. Begging for a catheter because of my inability to urinate, they informed me I was having kidney failure, later tests revealed it was because of sepsis which is poisoning of the blood. The two abscesses from my heroin use had gained access to my blood stream. The doctor informed me that my condition was very grave and they transported me to another hospital where I underwent surgery and spent the next several days in intensive care on a full spectrum of antibiotics. I spent the next three months in the hospital recovering from my massive wounds and a myriad of related health issues. After skin graphs and therapy for my nerve damage I was released only to start using heroin within two weeks. I was rescued by God and I am convinced that I am only alive to give glory to HIM!
