Opioid Tragedy: Inside the Fentanyl Crisis | Ten Dollar Death Trip | Investigative Documentary from 2020
With the world fighting a deadly pandemic, another heartbreaking public health crisis is raging in North America. A new synthetic drug is killing more than gun crime, homicide and car accidents combined. 100 times stronger than heroin, the deadly opioid fentanyl is cheap, potent and small enough to send in the post. These market forces have seen it replacing the heroin supply, spreading unprecedented death, destruction and misery. And, like all epidemics, it is spreading fast.
The death toll has disproportionately affected the homeless and marginalized. And now, due to its strength and low cost, the drug is also starting to appear in party drugs, such as cocaine and cannabis - with fatal results. We travel to Vancouver, the epicenter of the fentanyl epidemic to meet with health care workers, activists, fentanyl dealers and people who use it. We learn of radical initiatives to fight back against a toxic drug supply and ask what the world should expect if the fentanyl epidemic spreads outside of North America.

@@andrewwright. The drugs blind us from actually seeing this though. If he truly believes that he doesn't have a choice, then he has already set himself up for failure. He is not ready. Mind & body have to sync up on that. Mind & body. 🧘‍♀️ That's something you can't force to happen. It just has to happen somehow. It'll take some longer than others. Many will die before getting there. It takes a big spiritual awakening of some sort to get there. Problem with that is, you can't feel your spiritual awakening when you're under the influence.

Its bs tho he also said he has a 5yr old. I quit to be a dad. The father I wish I had. I did it 11yrs ago. Yes it was hard. Quitting the drug with substitute was easy. Cancelling my whole life to start again was the hard part. But was just glad to have my children around me. Until last lockdown their mom cheated then snatched the kids away after 3month and only now is my past a problem I have to wait till march to start the court process to see my kids its insane I know she's preying I slipped and went back to that world. But im still a father I just need to get through court. Ill sit on my own all day everyday waiting until that happens if needed. They will come and when they do ill still be the father they know. Although I missed a year now my youngest is 4 and breaks me. If I lose at court for whatever reason lies from ther mom and new rich boyfriend. I will spin out of control then. But not on drugs. Ill be going for his blood. Fact.

The drug dealer is extremely honest. He’s just so transactional about the process. He says, “it’s your choice and I’ve got to make a living.” No matter whether we consider him good or bad, he’s not hiding anything. He told him he would die if he bought it.

I think it was great at telling the stories of addicts. But the fact still remains that using opioids during hospital stays is standard procedure... This crisis could have been avoided if they hadn't been interested in creating these highly addictive drugs in the first place and making them commonplace.

IMO nothing wrong with Suboxone. I have a close friend that it's the only thing that has ever helped her to truly quit her addiction. Suboxone gives people a chance to stay clean, work on themselves, and best of all build a life. In time people can slowly stop taking Suboxone. Even if by chance they aren't able to taking a prescribed medication surely beats living, and likely dying, addicted to Fentanyl. Best of luck to you! Don't ever feel bad about doing whatever helps you stay out of a life of addiction.

I am in Stage 4 metastatic melanoma and there is no cure. I'm in hospice and have to use morphine, fentanyl patches and oxycodone constantly. What I wouldn't give to walk away from this cancer and live a few more years. These drugs help with pain but to use them to get high, is so sad. I was a policeman for 31 years and saw what opioids can do to people and saw how those suffering can be helped. What a sad commentary from both sides of the border.

@@jeltoninc.8542 You're both right and wrong. I used to drink a lot and I was hooked. The cravings were very hard to ignore. I eventually did get sober, but I had to really push myself. Honestly, the negative body effects of alcohol were the best motivator to stop. The constant nausea, diarrhea, sleeplessness, sweatyness, foggy brain, tiredness, bloodshot eyes, lack of cleanliness, heartburn, hiccups, headaches, weight gain, and cost were the big things that helped me stop. I'd want to buy alcohol, but would remember all of those things and just stopped doing it. I was lucky. You are right that if people want to kick drugs, they can if they just do it. Sometimes they have to have something even worse happen to them for them to want to do that. So yeah it can be complicated.

My introduction into opiates came through a bad car accident that left my hip shattered. This was before the Fentanyl days, where i was snorting Oxy's and graduated into getting heroin for a cheap fix when my meds would run out. I had enough awareness to know that i had to make a drastic change in order to save my life. So i left everything and everyone behind in order to save myself. 3 days of traveling on withdrawal after quitting cold turkey was not a pleasant experience, i assure you.

I can relate to Spike's situation. Physical injuries like that, over the age of 35, take a long and very painful road to recovery. Im lucky though, because I live in the UK I was allocated a specialist pain management team, who I still see 12 years post trauma. The medication has changed from morphine to Oxycodone and tramadol with Naproxen for the arthritis i have now developed, and which Spike appears to be wracked with. I am dependent on these medicines to alliw me to live a normal, productive life. The NHS in Edinburgh, Scotland started to take this approach because people who were not given sufficient controlled pain relief for chronic injuries and illnesses, were self medicating. I'm a senior executive with a successful career. I am disabled and in constant pain but because I have the support of a specialist team, I have a life.

@lynseyadams6584 7 месяцев назад

Self love and self worth is what they need. Nobody can save us from ourselves except ourselves.

@43:15 is powerful. I think many that haven't been through addiction don't understand or maybe they've tried drugs and didn't get addicted so they think people who do are "weak". The young man makes such a great statement. While yes, at one point he had a choice... once. However, he, and many others, made the wrong one and has suffered for nearly a decade because of it. Addiction isn't a holiday, and most addicts absolutely are not choosing to be addicts. I've always told people addiction is like swimming 40 feet under water. Sure, you can hold your breath and try swimming to the surface but you can only hold your breath for so long. Eventually you need to breathe. We need to change the way we approach addiction and treat it as the mental health issue it is. Until that happens we'll continue to live in this nightmare. Maybe you're lucky and haven't lost a loved one... yet but it will come. You probably are living amongst an addict right now and don't even realize it. Prescription narcotics are everywhere. We're in the midst of a mental health crisis and drugs are an easy way to ease the pain for those who are suffering.

Brought tears to my eyes and an ache in my heart. For 35 years I worked with addicts trying to help them find a better life. At age 57 I became seriously physically disabled no longer able to work or even help train new therapists. It was my life for about 35 years and I seriously miss being able to do it now. Most of the time I'm just stuck in my chair. I sleep in it as I can not sleep well in a bed. I was able to teach music and perform in coffee houses for a few years after I couldn't work a regular job. I made enough for gas and new strings to at least enjoy my hobby then that ended in 2017 as the medical problems progressed. I hate not being able to help people like I started doing as an undergrad even before I went to grad school for a degree in clinical psychology specializing in addiction treatment. There's a serious need for treatment folks and I don't believe there are enough who really care. I saw the folks trying to help in Vancouver knowing there still aren't enough. I understand the trap of opioid addiction.

To all those out there in the middle of it, life IS better on the other side. I was a junky for I don’t know how many years, lost everything, 3 felonies, 3 ODs, the last one they told my parents I was dead. Got clean, got a job, got in shape, started going to church, got my real estate license, got an MBA, run 4 ultramarathons, and every day is better than the last. I’m not ashamed anymore, everyone knows the truth…the rigs, pipes, foil, blown out veins, the lies. Everyone forgave me, nobody abandoned me. My life really changed when I stopped being ashamed and started being the real me. I now tell the truth regardless of the situation. I’m grateful for every tiny detail of my life, even the bad stuff. You can beat it, you can become who you were meant to become, I’m proof. I know what you’re thinking and what you’re going through, you’ll be forgiven, life really is better without it.

As an ex addict, I'm honestly glad my old "friend" snitched on me, not because he cared about me, he did it for his own reasons, but since it was basically entrapment, I didn't get much time, but my life changed for the better after that. I said I'd never do heroin, let alone be convicted for selling Carfentanil.

So sad man, this breaks my heart. Here in Arizona I saw a guy in a wheel chair sitting outside at a McDonald's in his wheelchair, he was skin and bones was amputeed from the knees down had his colostomy bag laying on the ground and was smoking it just like that girl on here, he'd get so high he'd pass out almost , recover and then do it again and again until he ran out, he then would wheel to the intersection with his homeless sign saying need money for food and the from the people who give him cash (enabling him and all the others) thinking there doing a good thing and they'll buy food they go buy this stuff.

The guy in the golden state jersey made me cry. I really wish this country took mental health more serious and could help these poor people. Most drug addicts have so much trauma and mental health issues. That's what's at its core. It makes me so deeply sad.

@41:35 I really felt that through his tone.. I used to be a junkie and that's how I felt every day.. idk why/how I kept going, but I'm glad I did. It's been almost 7 years without dope. Crazy to think I was once in the same shoes as him.

I'm glad this shot wasn't around when I was on pills for 7 years. It's a nasty cycle and a very hard one to get out of. Last my home, my job and almost my family. Luckily I never had any legal trouble along the way. I went into a instacare and met a doctor that would change my life forever and I will never forget him.

Ronnie looks like a strong guy that is good inside. It's unbelievable what drugs can do to you, they literally imprison you in your own mind, and addictive states. I really wish him to find some meaning, some new strong healthy habit that will get him out of addiction. If someone knows him please write here how he is doing right now.

As of last week, I have 10yrs clean/sober 🥳🎉 Healing IS Possible!!!! Most people, not just women, use Opiates as THE Ultimate escape from the past ~ horrific sexual abuse and child trauma. Not knowing how to Live Everyday with the memories, flashbacks and Pain. It was a process, a Beautiful learning experience and Journey of Love for Self & helping others get that Shot of Hope, we all need to keep going ❤ 💙 May EVERY addict find Recovery before it's too late ✨ 💖🙏💕

As an addict who's been in recovery for a few years now, I can't begin to say how much this saddens me. I can relate to every single one of them and I know how hard it is to get your life back. Praying for them and all of those still in the struggle. Stay strong.

@user-ue1hs3ty6z 2 месяца назад

My heart hurts and I cried, really cried. It is so very depressing, to the point of being overwhelming. But these r humans with feelings and these addicts r someone's child, mom or dad, brother, friend etc. Maybe if I focus on just helping one person, that would make a difference. It will be a huge difference in that one person's life.

@@nataliearellano9665 thank you so much and please , please, please stay away from them they are not worth your life. My brother got hooked at age 43 when he got injured at work in construction. He then started to buy them off the streets . I never thought he would ever become a drug addict but between my dad dying of cancer in 2020 and then my brother being forced into early retirement he became depressed and addicted. He just stop going to the doctors and started taking street percs. I didn’t recognize the person who he became. You have your whole life ahead of you. Now show the world why GOD saved you and live your best life.
