Bartender Mabel used to mix more than just drinks. After her 9am to 10pm shift at a bar in a large hotel, then waitressing from 11pm to 3am, she would go home to shoot up cocktails of drugs that she concocted herself.
Now aged 50, she has tried them all. She started out with marijuana at 15, then sniffed glue and went on to heroin, methamphetamine (meth) and Subutex. In recent years, she created cocktails, mixing conventional substances such as meth (known by its street name Ice) or Dormicum with new psychoactive substances (NPS) like Mushroom, Pink Lady and Meilan.
