KUANTAN: Khalid Hashim looks like any ordinary man on the street, but what many do not realise is that he was once a hardcore drug user who stole or cheated anyone he met to get his fix. 

The 45-year-old is now part of a voluntary team running a support group for drug addicts here called the Drug Information Community (DIC), which counsels those wishing to kick the habit.
