He was intelligent, eloquent and very convincing. He was by no means an outcast but behaved more like an artistic bohemian. A relative of his was at one time a fairly well-known proletarian writer, Ragnar Jändel, who died young. Per constantly emphasized that he was a so-called legal drug addict. He abused amphetamine above all, which he took with syringes. His situation probably also had psychological causes. Before the end of 1968, there were 50 legal drug addicts in the country. Dr. Sven Erik Åström had become known - and was exploited - for his legal prescriptions of amphetamine and other drugs. Legal prescription was much debated and fought against, especially by Dr. Nils Bejerot, in the late 1960s, and then banned. The National Board of Health and Welfare issued a regulation that refused doctors a license to prescribe narcotics when the indication was drug addiction. The situation changed suddenly when legal prescription of narcotics ceased at the clinics that had been open to drug addicts. Written by Jonas Sima See less
