Addiction is like walking into a large cave without a light. Things get dark very quickly & you never know if you're about to walk off "the cliff" or not. By the time you've realized you've gone too far... you either have to fight & crawl your way back out or give up & just learn to survive in that darkness.

So respectful of their privacy in a dark moment of their lives when so many youtubers, and even more "professional" news or documentatary crews would've immediately had the instinct to "use the junkie for content".

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications like opioids. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.

I think you should start a campaign for legalizing drugs, it would definitely help with overdoses; but drug education is much more critical.

It was already bad but things got way out of hand due to the pandemic. I would ride my bike through the city on the regs and I got to see the rapid decline with my own eyes. It's a city of sorrows and it's spreading through all the neighborhoods. Thank you for bring more attention to the pain within the city I once calles home.

I love how this guy at 8:00 just states that he came out there because he's an addict and thought it would be easier out there. At least he's honest. Most of these people who are being interviewed (esp. in Phoenix) all have their story of how they ended up there, but you can always tell it's not true, or not the whole truth. They came because they are addicted and thought it would be easier out there. Seeing an honest addict is rare because lying is a symptom of addiction. There's hope for you Mike Nagel (Dutch ancestors?) You have what most addicts lack: the ability to honestly evaluate your situation. That is the first and most important step towards recovery. I wish you the best.

With mixed ancestry I have no homeland but here. My great grandfathers built the homes in this neighborhood, my grandfather installed the powerlines and my parents were married at the local park. This is my home and these are my people and I refuse to give up on them no matter how broken they may seem. Its hard. Its REAL hard maintaining the resolve to keep getting out there and talking to people on the streets when so many people are complete dirtbags but you remind me to stay strong.

I don't think hero is the right way to describe it, and maybe he would agree. At the end of the day he's trying to generate views and subs for RU-vid, and his career. There's nothing wrong with that at all, and I say don't ever hate a man for making a dollar. But, to call it heroic I think is greatly misplaced. It's rough that we live in a society where simply going to a bad place and talking to people down on their luck at your own benefit is called heroic. Those firefighters that died trying to stop a fire from spreading, that's far more heroic. They're paid to do that as well. But if you want to find a hero look at the people volunteering time in churches & outreaches. Even the dude with the non-profit/go-fund-me, he MIGHT be heroic. Often-times those people are actually just benefiting off an industry. I live in Maryland, and my taxes are being used to give free things to people who don't work and are addicted. So I have no choice in that, but we've done that for years, and we're just getting more people on the streets addicted.

I was addicted to pain pills in 2006 from an accident at 18, turned into 7 yrs of hell, buried 17 ppl, found my best friends dad who committed suicide and a yr later my best friend OD and died. So I went on a rampage, 2013 went to a rehab in Detroit, a yr program completed came out with my chest puffed up. Long story short got into a relationship with this girl, who introduced me to heroin, that's a whole long story in itself, from homelessness, rehabs, jail, overdoses, I've seen it all and Jesus was the only one who pulled me outta that life, the demons and darkness that comes with that ain't nothing to play with, i wrecked everything and everyone around me, and Christ changed it. I'm 4 years clean, 2 yrs into God removed all the dreams, thoughts, all those fucked up thoughts, to where now I just wanna do the opposite and help those in this trap, you can never loose hope, if you want it bad enough you just gotta pull yourself up. Thanks Brandon for shedding light on what goes unseen

It reaches out and touches many families in surrounding communities as well. Northern va has been hit hard too. As far as the works/rigs/needles... A lot of addicts also just go to a pharmacy and request insulin syringes, which you can but with out showing a script for insulin. Appreciate yall taking the time to shed light on a problem and area that reached out and touched me a state away.

R Long representin! FR tho, coming up in Baltimore and going thru it - a lot of people here can't even imagine a life outside the avenue. Before the Peanut king got this thing started, it was the corner bar that used to be in every neighborhood. People's minds can be real small in Baltimore, you can do it all on the block - or at least that's the way we came up. I have been sober and a functioning member of society and it still gets me sometimes. It starts with how we raise our kids and education.

My father left Philly (which is already fvcked) for the drugs in Baltimore because that city attracts lost souls for some reason. I see him every few years or so but it’s always a toss up as to whether or not he’s alive. He gives me the “I’m so sorry for xyz” spiel still circumventing accountability but i told him “i don’t hold nothing against you” no sense in groveling to your estranged son. Baltimore is a hell state and my dad’s a dead man walking as long as he frequents those abandoned buildings.

Thanks for doing this. Sober and productive individual for 5 years now. Doctors told my family I wouldn’t make it past 22. Currently 36 and the healthiest I’ve ever been. Most people that know me would have no idea about my past either. Unfortunately my twin brother was not so lucky. Not being sober and in a position where I couldn’t help him in time was the catalyst for my transformation. Never again will I fail to be available to anyone I love . Addiction is a war of attrition. Stay alive long enough to experience the moment that you genuinely want out and to operate differently.

You wanna know one of the reasons these deaths don’t make headlines? Because “friends” would rather chalk it up as an unavoidable tragedy instead of speaking the truth about it so that others can learn from the mistakes of the deceased
