The Deadly Truth Behind Smoking Scorpion Venom 

LOL it was like a non-story. I heard from some guy… that heard from some guy… why didn’t they interview the three in rehab?

Exactly, this "Journalist" came with the Drugs are bad attitude. Didn't find out anything really. He didn't want to ask the questions. So wanted to know what they experienced and how long the effect was as well as the dangers.

​@@hitesharjan2117 because asking people in recovery from addiction about the highs is disrespectful and hinders their recovery process. The journalist did the right thing.

You saved me some time.

@@shamfyre Or it's a non story with overinflated results. If smoking scorpion venom was a thing people would have been doing it worldwide, similar to opiates, and the scorpions would be bred in private and milked for their venom. But you go on pretending it's a real thing.

I know so dumb

Yea thats bullshit

Facts just wish we could all realize this sooner rather then later

Easy for someone to say that hasn't experienced clinical depression.

@@tmm83093 hah that’s such an ego trip. “Woe is meeee” Sooner you realize that’s actually entirely your choice and that you do it because you think it’s meaningful, you’ll cut it out and realize it never was. I’ve been there, very many people have, and the point is this: It’s not worth sacrificing your Self for your ego And the SECOND you get out the other side you’ll just be embarrassed for how much time you wasted making yourself sad when nothing was wrong

Wholeheartedly agree, there's an unfortunate and dangerous stigma around men expressing their emotions. If some of these men had felt able to emote without judgement, perhaps some of them wouldn't have ultimately found themselves addicted and in a rehab

I stopped smoking weed 20 years ago and I still dream about it. Fortunately I was never really an addict (can you be truly addicted to weed in the same sort of way cigarettes or heroin can get you?) but I stopped just cos I didnt really enjoy it anymore. But I still dream about it.

@@shayneoneill1506 I’m not sure but it’s your bodies way of healing and yes you can be addicted to weed if you’re self medicating. The fact that you were strong enough to walk away is huge. Not everyone possess this strength. I didn’t.

Totally hate those drug dreams but like you said that it's the bodys way of healing it makes alot of sence to me. Thank you for sharing that info. Blessings to you and your family always from Puerto Rico with lot's of love 🙏👍❤️

Nessa? Please don't tell me you moosh brain mfs starting to say nessa instead of necessary

Dreaming about using meth is the worst. You wake up convinced you relapse and are thankful it's was just a bad using dream. Every morning I thank God for taking away my weakness and replacing it.

Suuuuch bullshit lmao

I dunno, i kinda feel like heroin is a stronger high than being sober. Just my opinion though....🙄

I have compassion for people who, through no fault of their own, contract or are born with diseases. Likewise for people whose suffering is the result of someone else's actions or neglect. I have ZERO compassion for drug users and addicts. Their suffering is a choice they made with full volition. These people should be put away and be required to earn their way back into society.

@@TheTonyFigueroa it’s clear you have a fundamental lack of understanding about human psychology and how drug addiction works. While the very first experience may have been a choice, what comes after is not, your draconian treatment of these people only serves to exasperate the issue not solve it. Just look at America’s war on drugs (which congratulations to drugs for winning) compared to places like Swedens implementation of programs to actually help people suffering from addiction. A useful framing to view it in is the framing of what it is, addiction is a disease and should be treated like one, if someone had bi polar disorder we don’t lock them in a mental institution until the end of time (at least we shouldn’t) we help them and provide them with the resources to overcome this obstacle, the same can be said for addiction, locking them away won’t help it will only further cement the actions, we need to help them and provide them with the resources they need to overcome their addiction.

@Kiran Thomlinson It would be one thing if the deadly effects of illegal narcotics were unknown or at least not broadly known. But they are all too notorious. Society is paying a massive price for their narcissistic behavior. The war on frugs was lost because it didn't go far enough. I can appreciate your compassion, but you do a terrible disservice to the victims of drug addicts.

​@@TheTonyFigueroa Theres always one of you who feels such a need to state that opinion ? Like oh please shutup

It's typical low quality Vice reporting. They send in ignorant journalists to be shocked and amazed by a glimpse of foreign culture, while failing to do any investigation whatsoever.

Absolutely. From the descriptions of the users, the venom appears to be a rather strong psychedelic. It may well have medicinal use if properly researched and understood. The issue underlying all of the scorpion smokers isn't any particular substance, it's a neueochemical disposition towards addiction.

​@Hoblem opiods are also central nervous system depressant which for a lot of people feels amazing.

@@Efhgi so is alcohol, barbiturates, GHB, etc etc

That takes actual reporting, this is more like a tour of the area

Give it a go and report back, I'll wait

@@guystokesable no thanks

I agree I feel like it's bullshit. I thought the same hamilton would have given us real answer, this was a waist of time absolutely no answer and complete myths at this point. I've been researching this myth for years and have gotten no compelling answers.

I 100% agree the guy who threw the cigarette in the water was just trolling him for a payday.

This reporter has his bias. Didn't even find out what the effects were and how they felt and what they experienced on the "drug". Their main problem might be opium abuse or heavy use of hash. Hope one day we can learn on a scientific level as to what's going on with smoking scorpion.

​@@herbivore7108 any recommendations?

@@jaydenwoodard7627 Haha nah, I'm not from that region of the world, but I think metal and especially death metal is probably looked down on.

Can anyone tell me how to make better RU-vid videos?

The song goes hard 😂 lmao shii 💩

I dunno. We need a better report than the crap that I just watched.

its complete & total bs.. has zero effect. vice had a false lead, had to cover the cost of the trip ect. . running out of ish to cover. the addicts that they showed were opium & heroine users, this drug does not exist. jenkum had more basis in reality than this

Exactly! I'm so confused. I also thought they were going to extract some venom to mix in and smoke and maybe release the scorpion. But then that man pulls out a dried up scorpion and snaps a chunk off. I need the science behind this because I don't understand how this is having an effect as a drug would. Hamilton would explain the chemistry behind this.

they drink the venom

Yep. Maybe a super strong placebo ? I have no idea

That and we beat the crap out of each other

😂😂😂

Lol

Women are not confused how they live longer than men.

They live longer because we're the ones getting rescued last, risking our lives in any and every hazardous situation and going out there to catch the mammoth while our beautiful ladies urge us on with words of love and _'hurry tf up, what kind of man are you, I'm hungry'._

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that sounds awful oh my god, i remember once when i was 9 i was living in florida and stepped out of my house because my family was just chilling in front at night and upon stepping outside and standing for a few little, i started feeling lots of tiny things on my leg, so they get the light on my leg and there are hundreds of ants crawling up it- immediately i started kicking and screaming and everyone was wiping at my leg until they were gone, horrible experiences 😂

If you get stung by a scorpion you best hope it's a big one. It's the small ones that are the dangerous ones.

I'm from south texas. Every summer when the weather gets hot and water is scarce the scorpions move into places like our home. Everyone in the house gets bit at least once every summer.

@@tylerwilliams6022 true. The smaller the deadlier. But, as far as I know, all the scorpions in America are about to equal to a bee sting venom wise.

bahaha i didn't even notice this. thank you

All that travelling & they didn’t even find anyone smoking it & discuss it. Those addicts could have been addicted to anything & probably shoved infront of the cameras & told to say something!!! Shite.

@@DMWBN3it's all in the video there was a literal build up to the part where they actually found a guy who smokes black scorpion - he was literally filmed pulling apart one side of a dead, dried black scorpion with his bare hands and shoving it, mixed with tobacco or whatever that mixture was, into a cigarette roll before proceeding to light it and then SMOKED the dead body parts of a black scorpion. I had to look away at least once. Not an easy watch. What more could they have done for their audience? - but I agree with the initial comment about wanting to find out why /what about it makes someone high and more detail around the science... But I guess it's hard to find studies evaluating scorpion/scorpion venom as an effective replacement for commonly used drugs.

@@DMWBN3 9:24 Is what you’re looking for…

@@MB-xz8xd but he didn't actually smoke it. That could've been completly faked. I don't believe this is a real drug

Free education for you few who can read.... An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur. "We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks. "We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn. The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information. The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons. "They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things. When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicine. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison. "We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil. "Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves. We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers. They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit. "We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger though images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors. "We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We willestablish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt. "When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that. They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons. "We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us. The recruits will be called “initiates” and will be indoctrinated to believe false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth. They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us. For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles, but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive the light and travel the stars. They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know. The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus on it until its too late. Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they are our slaves. "When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them. This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion. When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin. Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial. "But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW. If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action. They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person shall give us shelter. "This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life spans. This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came." "This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's a great comment empathetically and compassionately wrote. I wholeheartedly agree with a lot of what you've said totally. But. Even if you had the power of a God and could cure all the societal problems we face in the world today. Everything. Poverty., war, famine, oppression., abuse. All the world's ills. You'd still find drug use. I don't know on what level but it would still be present . My augment being that it's part of the human condition, it's part of our psyche. Not for all of us. Some not at all, some more than others. It's always been there, since the dawn of human life. Our ancestors would test plants for active properties, they'd seek them out, the mushrooms, the plants, the cacti and they'd treasure them once found. They'd eat the fruit that was high in natural alcohol. We see this in other species to. They'd do this for a lot of reasons. Spiritual ,religious, medical and healing and a lot of the time just to alter their consciousness , their state of mind. To get a buzz. I'm in no way saying we should go back to a simple shamanistic ,Hunter , gathering place. Modern life and it's societal pressures have exasperated the problem but they didn't create it. We could do an awful lot more to help sure, you make some great examples in your comment. But even if we did all of that, the problem wouldn't be gone. Because you're dealing with people , human beings and we're funny creatures. Some of them just like getting high, they'll choose to do that and they enjoy it . They like getting fucked up. It's the same way how wars always been with us or religious beliefs have. Across every society, continent, ancient ,modern, developed or not. You can't cure these things they just are. 👊💛👍
