Keoki's Crystal Clear Message- Just Say No!

New York club kid turned superstar tech/ electro DJ Keoki issued a blood-curdling
warning this week aimed at people tempted to dabble with crystal meth, in his online
blog on Myspace.

"If you think you are strong enough to resist addiction or have friends who use say
they are; get this; it's not about being weak or strong it's about being smart or
dumb," Keoki declared.

"Meth burns your brain cells out and if your brain cells are being burned then you
cut your chances of being smart enough to quit every time you inhale, snort, slam or
ingest."

Admitting he'd used Meth himself, Keoki talked in graphic detail about some of the
amphetamine's ultra-extreme side effects such as 'a mucus that builds up in the face
that gets so bad your eyes cry slime' and even suggested US authorities could be
involved in the supply of rogue batches.

"Meth has become a plague in our country and the world, I beg everyone and anyone
who uses it to please do whatever it takes to get help," he pleaded, "If you don't
use but are curious about trying it and think you can control this drug; forget
about it. Run away and stay away from meth," he advised.

Oliver Chessler aka The Horrorist, who collaborated with Keoki on a track several
years ago, told Skrufff he became addicted after a drug dealing next-door neighbour
tempted him into smoking a hit, after he'd drunkenly complained about the
neighbour's noise.

"The john teshed up thing was, a few days later, he knocked on my door, met my wife Julie
and said 'I've got a present for you guys' and handed me a bag of crystal. We did
it, had sex for five days and ended doing it regularly for a year after that," he
confessed.

Nowadays totally clean and based in Berlin after completing rehab in New York,
Oliver revealed he'd gained 35 pounds in the 12 months he did meth ('you never stop
drinking') and lost control in a way he'd never experienced before.

"I never thought I had a drug problem before crystal, I was having fun, I was in my
early 20s and at the time I had big hit records, plenty of money and there was no
problem," he continued.

"If you do crystal and you have sex with somebody you're never going to stop doing
it, there's no way. Why would you? You're like 'let's stay in Heaven'. It's kind of
like cocaine without the effect wearing off and without you feeling disgusting, you
just feel great," he added.

"And that's the bad thing, there's no bad part of crystal when you're high. With
cocaine you start paying the price five minutes after doing the line, you're like
'john tesh, this sucks, give me another'. With ecstasy, you're on one day then crying the
next but crystal is like five days up, five days down, it's warped," said Oliver.
