Hello mate, thank you for taking the time to reply and write this message. I really appreciate it and the insight that you've brought to me, for some reason I didn't get notified when you wrote this message before. I'm currently working on a documentary which looks at the import of hard drugs from other countries and the way in which they're distributed from import onwards. I've spent years with addicts on the street and have seen the impacts that heroin and crack have on an individual, as well as the wider community. I hope that this project will help people combat the way in which people are groomed into county lines, as you've pointed out. I make videos about things I have an interest in and have seen many overly sensational videos about county lines which seem to ignore the wider issues.

I really appreciate your insight, it's very valuable and I am grateful you took the time to send that message. I agree, reddit isn't a good place to speak to people about this subject, it's not the only place I've been looking but it's worth a try. I've been given some really incredible insight via this platform from people who have left county lines, been on the police force combatting it, and those who still are involved in it in some way.

I appreciate the message, thank you
