Tranq -The Flesh-Eating Drug that Turns People into Living Zombies 

Never in my life, id see people trying to get high by using HORSE TRANQUALIZER

Does it come with Tranq?? Itch itch

How is this not being treated as an act of war against the people of our country!? We should destroy the people bringing this in and doing this to our people! No act of violence on our part could ever compare to the absolute terror of this drug, it would be totally justified!

Way to go man. Thanks for sharing your story. Best of luck to you in your new phase of life! 👍🏾❤

I'm proud of you.

You're awesome!! ✨✌️✨ Good luck on the background check...😅

Good luck on this man! Peer support specialist sounds like a great way to reach people since you've been there and know exactly what they're going through. You could help in a way someone else can't.

Proud of you brother! Good luck on that background check. I love that you want to help others to overcome their addiction just like you did.

Yeah my whole crew is gone. About 7 folks gone. I loved each 1

@dmo848 sorry to hear that, this shit ain't no joke anymore. I'm hearing about people buying knock off Xanax that have fentynal and they're dying from that. The world is a scary fucked up place.

Damn junkies

Good on you man. I think you'll help a lot people try to get clean. Good Luck! ☘️

Gjgi. Thing is.. the life you led for a while is much more exciting then many others entire lives! I partied hard, done things you only see in movies (car chases, oceans 11 on small scale, parties crazier then any movie) and would never take it back. Clean since 08

Ouch. That's fucking painful. Proud of you. I've got over a year. Much love.

@@movingonwardty stay safe 🙏

best of luck to you

I really hope you can get through it all, vivitrol was a life changing drug for me

So why you watching videos about drugs

I understand what you are going through. My daughter was a heroin addict and she disappeared for over a year, my grandchildren would pray for her all the time and some days I woke up sobbing and praying for God to protect her. She was came home one day and I made her go to the hospital. She was found to have cancer and passed away within less than a year. I am so grateful that she didn't die in the streets. I'm praying for you and your son that he will come home and be able to get his life back together. Just keep praying for him is sometimes all you can do ❤

So sorry for your pain. Praying he will get clean and return home.

i hope your son finds the strength he needs to break out of that cycle

🙏❤️

I sincerely hope you’re a part of your local NA or family of addicts group. They will help you a lot ❤

Wow, you must be super sensitive to it. My mom and grandma both had fentanyl patches and it just dulled their pain. My mom still needed the Vicodin

it's an amazing drug when used correctly. I was in the hospital with someone who basically broke their back and they were screaming in pain. One injection of fentanyl later, and they were conversing happily with a nurse. It has its uses. What we really need though, is some kind of non habit forming version of these pain killing drugs...

​@moonasha unfortunately though they most definitely exist lobbying by large pharmaceutical companies will keep it far far faaaaaarrrr away from shelves and pharmacies

The doctors did it? I get that. After the car knocked me off my bike the Baptist hospital had me on a drip, morphine, till the V.A. got hold of me. 3 days and 4 nights strapped to a cot. Detox! Yea V.A.😡 I'm better off for it! Close call. Oh yeah; 123 stitches, 42 broken bones 35 pounds of plaster cast. 5 days later and the v.a. says nope, not in this hospital. They still don't give veterans more messed up than me norco?🤔 Because of propaganda! Eh...pot helps, if it's clinical. 👍🌤

​​@@RobertNowagarskiThis is untrue. Strictly speaking, something that can be used in the same way as opiates without addiction absolutely does not exist. There do exist other analgesics that provide a comparable level of pain relief, but they are meant for VERY acute use only, as they are not just analgesic but particularly anesthetic in function. That is, they provide the effect of general anesthesia - like the mini coma you get from them for surgeries - in an immediate way, before overdose level. They also tend to block memory formation, and risk brain damage, kidney failure, and so on. Volatile anesthetics are used in many acute instances. This includes things like laughing gas, which is one that many people are likely aware of. & as most people know, we do use it in the US. For persistent pain, opiates are given because they are the safest option. Also, people get addicted to and abuse anesthetics. The one talked about in this video is an example, lol. So... Yeah.

Have to go get him

About a year and half ago. I was on meth really bad and heroin. I never injected though. All my years of ever doing any drugs. I never would shoot up. I took meth everyway you could take it but shoot up. Even a few different ways up my butt basically. One way you mix it with water and with syringe with out a needle inject the water mix up your butt. To this day I still can't explain what they felt like. Like a alien was pulling me soul from my body or a god. That's how i described it to someone while high. I told them it was the scariest feeling and best feeling possible. No way shooting up could feel better. Anyways i went old turkey about a year and half ago. Worst almost three weeks of my life. I made it through though. Your brother can too. I was on meth bad and heroin.

Sorry for your loss and I hope your brother is okay. ❤

You know go find him and help him instead of complaining about it

@@Botman1234 that's not how it works. First, I don't have the money to fly across country and find him. Second, I'm disabled and can't drive. Third, you can't just force addicts to get help. It just doesn't work if they don't want it. I went out there after my dad passed and talked to him but it didn't help. He actually ended up disappearing while I was there.

Thank you! People who truly need opiates to function/ have some quality of life are treated like criminals. Now they are doing complete hysterectomies and other major surgeries with just Tylenol and Motrin. One extreme to the other and we all suffer due to others bad decisions.

To be fair, heroin existed on it's own for decades before Oxy was being prescribed to stay at home moms who strained their backs picking up a too heavy load of laundry. Before that only hard core users were affected by heroin. What over-prescribing led to was non-junkies becoming addicted. That being said, fentanyl is definitely a major problem. Drug abuse on it's own was (for the most part) a problem but we were able to manage it before all these super powerful variables came into play.

@@AC-01- My fear of opioids was so high that even though i got 3 major bariatric surgeries. I turned down morphine and oxy because i didn't want to risk getting hooked. Luckily I'm in my late 30's so I was relatively young enough to just push through the pain.

A china and Mexico problem

That's when I got clean. I was a heroin addict through and through I didn't want it. And after trying it I'm pretty sure I'm allergic anyway I didn't want fetty or tranq. So it actually helped me get clean. Sad that so many people are actually addicted to this horrible stuff 😢

Opioid withdraw _is_ mildly uncomfortable.

@@eadweard. That is not an accurate statement... withdrawal carries from person to person based on dose, length of use, and drug. But, opiate withdrawal can absolutely be fatal, the tachycardia and hypertension can absolutely be fatal...

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help.

Hey! Yes Mr.medmushies

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

Drugs are not "bad". Drugs can be addictive whether thru dependancy or abuse. Rehab is not effective. That is why decriminalization and regulation of all pharmaceuticals is the way forward. As a bonus, cartels which are funded by the sale of illegal drugs would be out of business. Property crimes diminished, fewer Americans in prison, less law enforcement... capitalism would hate to have that happen.

​@btank2453 yeah, but in the context of this specific experience, drugs are bad, mmkay.

Fake story.

Congratulations on your sobriety! :D Keep it up friend.

Congratz! Hope you are still sober man, was probably not an easy thing to do, especially when covid hit and there was so much "free time" and loss of routines. Does finishing simple tasks feel rewarding again after those years of being clean?

Can I ask how you came off kratom? A friend has been trying to come off it for years & always goes back to it.

@zoehansen_ So it sounds like your friend has come off of it before successfully, meaning they have gotten past the acute withdrawal stage? But then they fail to stay off of it? If that's the case, it's important to keep two things in mind first and foremost: 1. Beyond the acute withdrawal period (which lasted about 5 days for me), it's common to have post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) after quitting kratom, opiates, or other hard drugs. This means it can take several months to feel completely normal again after quitting, as the brain repairs itself. It's important to set expectations for this and prepare coping skills. For example, how does one self soothe without kratom when your nerves are randomly getting restless and you can't sleep for example? For me, I found that exercise or just kicking and thrashing around in bed for several minutes if I couldn't sleep helped replace the missing endorphins my brain was lacking from years of kratom abuse. prepare to feel bad for a while, but remember that things will get better slowly with time. Having a healthy diet, good sunlight exposure, plenty of exercise, and as good a sleep schedule as possible are essential during this period. There's a lot more I could write about coping skills, but this comment would be way too long. 2. One must have a good reason to quit and stay clean from addictive drugs like kratom. For me, the reason was that I hated that I felt the need to hide it from my family, and I also knew that my tolerance was unsustainable and couldn't be reset easily, so kratom use had reached a dead end. They should write these things down and keep them close to reference when feeling cravings to use kratom again, to remember why they quit and all that they would be throwing away if they relapse. Beyond these, it's worth seeking addiction counseling and/or joining a local recovery group. Also a good idea for them to tell people after they quit so they have some social accountability. There's no single easy answer, and for some people they're using to self-medicate a deeper mental pain, so it's important to also take inventory of these things and seek help for any underlying issues. Hopefully that helps some. Quitting kratom is very hard work, but it is possible with the right will and frame of mind.

Been a Kratom addict for 3 years. Never came off it yet tho

@@zoehansen_i quit fentanyl cold turkey multiple times and i jus drank and smoked weed for the first 4-5 days when shit was really bad but it’s all mental from there fr jus comes down to wanting to or not . i wanted to go back to the drugs so i did . since the last time i quit i’ve planned to stay sober and have it’s been roughly a year and i haven’t relapsed because i quite literally don’t want to , i can’t , i have to many responsibilities and things i want to do that you simply cannot being an addict to anything MUCH less fentanyl . a lot of addicts lie to themselves and can’t be honest , but straight up how it is , if u don’t wanna quit u won’t . if you wanna quit you will . it’s not easy , but if you support em and they believe in themself anyone can do it we’re all strong enough .

You got this...I'm 35 and also started using oxy cotin at age 15. I didn't get clean until I was 33 (had 5 years clean in my 20s)...I relapsed right as xyloxene started secretly being cut in the fetti...I gave up for a while the xyloxene was so hard to kick (made heroin and fetynl wd seem like a joke) I started having swelled feet and hands for months, all my veins started collapsing....got to the point where I assumed I would eventually od and be free....but then I tried rehab for a 2nd time and now I have 19 months......now I have some permanent health issues from the xyloxene but life's so much better now....took a while for things to really start feeling normal again but it does. Keep doing what's working for you....and what you said about family is so important...I wouldn't be here today if I didn't have a few family members who never gave up no matter how many times I disappointed them. Keep up the good work 👏

I am 7 years clean from a 15 year opioid addiction. The last 7 years of using I was addicted to Fentanyl. I am so proud of you AND I want you to know that life gets way better! It takes some time for your mind and body to heal, but it does ❤❤❤

My suggestion is just work out and exercise every time that you feel like it's hard. It works wonders and it's great for you.

Go on friend, you are doing great. :) You can do this, even though it’s hard. It’s going to be so much better to live clean, the fight is worth it:)

The break down of society on a both a institutional, Moral, and values lvl is the reason drug use has skyrocketed. The war of drugs failed sure but that doesn't mean we should do a 180 and just let it run. My city went from small amounts with minimal deaths to people lying dead in the streets. Even injection centers that people claim to help aren't working because there's simply not enough medical staff on hand to handle the problem.

​@@daddysds1 You are 100% correct.

Oh man. Sorry about your sister.

It's stupid that a country like the US, with the most advanced surveillance network on earth, can't just do away with these drug dealers. There is simply no excuse for it. Singapore's strategy has worked very well for them. Just execute the dealers; simple. Put pressure and fear into them until none of them are left. The sociopaths selling these kinds of drugs make any social programs ineffective. They make thousands of dollars off this stuff just so they can buy hookers and flashy cars. 100k deaths a year is simply terrorism and should have been dealt with accordingly.

Sorry to hear man. I did heroin/hard drugs for about 15 years and drugs in general for like 25. I'm 41 now and clean for 10 years. Yes it began around 15 years old. You get to a point where you truly feel taking your life is the only way out. I too lost my sister to drugs. It a very difficult place to get out of. EVERYTHING has to change. I moved 3 hours away from home for almost 2 years to get where I am today.

Pooland. Sad it used to be nice 20yr ago. Now u gotta worry bout needles and infectious diseases just walking down the street. Sad

I used to love visiting from Seattle. The last trip was two years ago and it was disturbing to see the changes. I avoid Seattle too now. I posted a vid of main street Burien- tents and drug addicts inside them. Not enough help for them.

It's like this around where I live to in Philly, but in a specific area called Kensington, Its so sad to me, & im more than happy to have stopped using

Was there about ten years ago and enjoyed walking around the city. How many cities are experiencing the same downfall? Big, little, red, blue, all the same. Something is wrong.

​@@timeenoughforartI have to agree with you, I really don't think it's specific to just Portland or any one kind of city, it's the whole country at this point. And I've lived in Portland all my life and I do think people talk about the city like it's some nightmarish hellscape when honestly it just seems like every other urban area to me.

I don't understand why we should have sympathy for those addicted: nobody force fed them the drugs. It was their decision, and everyone knows that drugs are addictive, that they ruin lives, that they can kill you. Self medication? That's BS. An inability to cope with stress is not the same as needing "medication". Nothing in the world could make me reach for drugs. I would sooner reach for, uh, a final solution, than for drugs. Those who use know the risks before they begin. Oh, they didn't know, these are adulterated drugs? But what did you expect, from drug dealers? Did you expect quality control, did you expect honesty? Seriously.

Yeah Kensington is ground zero...I went to rehab in Jersey late 21 and they acted like I was making up crazy shit because they never heard of it...although I was the only one still showing wd symptoms and had an open wound on my wrist n both wrist and hands were so swelled they couldn't put the little I'd bracelet thing on....took about 3 months for the wd to subside (insurance only covered 11 days, detoxed the rest of the way from home)....I am determined to stay on this path because I have life long health issues now....Dr's and treatment centers need to start addressing this issue because a lot of people will just leave treatment in a day because they do nothing for it...there's always people who still will walk out or refuse help but that was a huge thing I noticed in my experience....I hope more videos like this are posted because this is a drug epidemic worst than any we've ever faced here before.

@@Amazonsucks-ky9vf also, I'd like to add, that yes. A lot of people are homeless almost "part-time", usually addicts and paranoid individuals go through perpetual cycles of housing and homelessness.

I’m glad being a dad helped you, sad truth is too many people are having kids who are in the middle of addiction and then just ditch them and that’s a vicious cycle. I’m really glad things worked out for you and your family.

Exactly… the only couple times I ODed was from a relapse after being 9 months clean and I thought I’d be safe snorting half bag of fent when before I was doing a bundle easy a day without even getting high off it. I’ve been extremely lucky in those situations but it’s really an eye opener how this shit is killing everyone. && I agree the biggest risk is that relapse after getting that clean time in. That’s the only reason I’ll push for suboxone treatment now when before I couldn’t see me trading one drug for another but honestly that’s probably the safest thing to do for the first couple or so years until you feel safe enough without it

@@CNChris_CN Congratulations on your ongoing recovery! Yeah, Suboxone is a great tool to help add some safety, and give people time to build up healthy coping skills and resiliency. I understand the concern about trading one for another, but it's also very different using a medication as prescribed, in a therapeutic way, and using the same drug in an abusive way. Plus, it's totally possible to really slowly taper off of Suboxone. Congratulations again!

@@danc6882 aww thanks for the congrats… I’ve only been going like 2 1/2 years so far but I did have those couple relapses in between that time. Thankfully I was on subs for almost a year and I never got any withdrawal from it which is crazy cause they had me on 8mg 3x daily. That was way too much so even tho they prescribed it that way I cut down to twice a day pretty quickly and then did once a day for many months towards the end. And I’ve been on methadone too but that shit was just as bad as dope. I remember being on it for like 5 months and they wouldn’t supply me with a weeks worth of meds when I went on vacation to Florida and when I got down there the clinic there couldn’t even get me anything until the last day when I was flying back. It was about instant withdrawal and I even spaced 1 bottle for like 3 days and I was still sick so of course I ended up getting back on dope while I was down there. I can’t tell u how many times I’ve detoxed, cold turkey, suboxone, methadone, kratom, inpatient, outpatient. I’ve done pretty much anything u can think of for years but now I’m in a good mental state and my depression cause that’s really what was my issue and u can’t get clean until u take care of those problems

I've been clean 19 years. When I first stopped using I had to learn how to apreciate and enjoy simple things. Things like conversation with others and going for a walk. Drugs had been my go to in order to feel 'good' so I realised I better find healthy ways to feel 'good' if I was going to stay clean. Apparently Kirstie Alley, the famous actress/model replaced cocaine with flower arranging. I've done both and can say they feel very different from each other!😅

Not anymore😞……I quit the crack 13 months ago for good. And now it’s not safe at all anymore and I don’t want to hurt my people by dying young😒

Not only that, but also that many people are going though issues with addiction. People you usually dont see in your daily routine, or Issues which are commonly hidden by the people affected. My mother has a case of Fibromyalgia and I am always invested in checking which meds she gets prescribed so that she wont end up developing an addiction.

I've seen footage of it. Absolutely insane!

I was shocked the first time I saw videos of Kensington. Needles, trash, and zombies everywhere. There was a park with kids walking around with all of that stuff too. It would be tragic to grow up there.

But I have a Suboxone addict in my bunkhouse. TOTAL waste of lungs and life, but GETS that Suboxone. Will NEVER "pull out of it" even if he gets his brain back. Life is a bridge to jump off at this point.

Suboxone sucks I mind as well go back to H since u r still wasting urbread on that bs

You should probably stop taking the subs at some point. 8 years is a long time

Should have said I'm an addict of 23 years

Suboxone is just a replacement for addiction, one crutch to another. You can still abuse Suboxone. You need to deal with the issues behind why you take them and more than likely you have to hit rock bottom to come to this revelation that getting clean is worth it. I have one brother that is on Suboxone 10 years sober and one brother who died from an od, I also found it amusing when I was partying I was told by both brothers if I ever shot up id get my ass kicked. I never have had an addictive personality and enjoyed the psychedelics more.

I know there's also benzo dope around but this stuff is way worse💀

Too many.

There was also the 'Bath Salts' incident as well.

I've been around for several horses we've given it to and when you see how hard it hits them I would be terrified to take that..... This is what you give when you need a horse to be still standing but so sedated you could push them over. My horse got it a couple weeks ago and I was holding her up at one point and had to manually move her feet individually

Ketamine is commonly used in anesthesia for humans so there has been a lot of studies on ketamine. It's very effective in therapy administered in a clinical setting.

Capitalism kills

I have 13 years clean it will be 14 years on October 7th I know now that if I can get clean then anyone can

We've had our share of drug addicts in Europe too, and still do in certain areas. Sadly, in Northern England and in some parts of Germany, addiction is increasingly becoming a big problem. Our opioid crisis is much more hidden with prescribed drugs. In my country, The Netherlands, there are 200,000 people who are addicted to Oxycontin. But because their doctors keep on giving it, there is no need to turn to other, more dangerous street drugs.

Our government is primarily the problem. They’d rather send money to Ukraine than help our people here. But that aside, addiction starts with that person choosing. Don’t chase the high. It’s ultimately their choice, nobody is forcing them. It’s all very sad.

@@tvern77 There is no way you're not a Republican, no one else can be this stupid. The opioid crisis has been raging on for like 30 years, but yeah, some money sent to Ukraine last year is the problem. 🙄

Yeah, that's what we call "Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted"... Might have been better to have scrutinized Perdue Pharmaceuticals a little closer 15 or 20 years ago when it might have forestalled a lot of this sh1+! Still, about what you'd expect from a country that barges into other countries where they're not wanted, establishes an enormous civil service, police force etc, etc, staffed by locals, then decides the hippies were right all along and bale out, throwing all those loyal employees to the Commies/Taleban/etc... (Not that I'm 'down' on the USA particularly, it just so happens that America is the country under discussion... At least they don't talk up a policy of neutrality that leaves them dependent on their neighbours to shepherd their ex~pats to the airport in whatever part of the world it is where things are currently going to sh1+, or try to police her waters with a navy to rival that of Liechtenstein or Andorra...)

It was a wise move to limit PCPs from doling out opiates. That’s where the majority of people originally got addicted to opiates. They were essentially turning their PCP into their drug dealer. I knew a guy back in the late 90s who made his living from having numerous PCPs writing him scripts for Percocet. He was selling them to kids, housewives, and anyone who wanted them . Patients who have medical problems that can only be treated with opiates can be treated at pain clinics run by neurologists who give a strict accounting for their prescriptions. As a patient they also have to give an account of their personal lives by not having drugs that are not prescribed to them in their system. It’s become a necessity to separate the addicts from the ones who genuinely need the medication. I haven’t met one person with medical issues that require pain medication be turned away and resort to buying illegal drugs but I have met many who were clearly addicts who didn’t want to be accountable to a pain management doctor resort to other methods of getting opiates.

Exactly what I've been saying the people around me, prohibition doesn't work and if anything the more we limit opiates from pharmacies, the more prevalent mystery opiates from clandestine labs and street corners become

I don't see how legitimizing corporate pill mills would help the situation. People would get addicted to the official stuff, be unable or unwilling to keep paying, and start looking for cheaper street drugs to get their fix. There's probably no real way to kill the demand for street alternatives in a way that matters. Unless the solution is to just hand out as much opiates to anyone who wants them for free, which will absolutely never happen for a number of reasons.

@@HurpMuhGurp EXACTLY.

Yeah, my late wife and myself used to call them 'snake dreams'... It's almost like God's health warning or something!

I'm a cancer patient who has used fentanyl patches and they did really make the difference for the time i was on them. Helped a bunch with pain, wasnt enough to 100% numb me of course aha.. but i do remember those days when they'd fall off without me knowing and the horrible withdrawal I'd go thru not knowing what happened Made me mad as hell when i was getting help appling them (my parents care for me) that my mom eventually stopped using gloves cause i was like youre gonna get that stuff in you dude Anyhow nothing came out of it, can say i miss using it cause i have chronic pain aha but hey, I'm glad to be off the patches as it was kinda intense! My doctor once noticed me and was '... oh youre high, we gotta lower your dose'

Really makes you think about what bad shape people are in to get addicted! We hate that high feeling but for them it’s an escape… those poor souls. May they one day get the help they need to work through their demons. Easier said than done though.

@@gertrude137 Thank You.

@@derklavierspieler7491because it is? Just because you were resistant to it doesn’t mean the majority of people are. And it was in patch form, arguably the weakest way to take it. I mean hell, the comment right after you is talking about how good it was and then having withdrawals. Not everyone is the same, but the fact is that it’s one of the most potent opioids there are and has a crazy low threshold to kill people

I hate all these "christians" who call addicts broken light bulbs etc, I've seen those yt shorts. or they just see them as an opportunity to preach at or about.

"THE FLESH-EATING DRUG!!" Yep. No fearmongering at all from Simon.

@@qty1315 But it does cause necrosis, so maybe fear is appropriate. And the naloxone doesn't even work.

​@@qty1315I've had MRSA, which has been described as a flesh eating super bug and it can cause necrosis so...

Was thinking the same damn thing. There's so much that media gets wrong about actual, real life drug use but Simon's inexhaustible research and complete lack of judgey commentary reach more people than any major news channel. They may reach more living rooms but Simon's presentations tend to stick with you.

@@neilwilson5785 Fear is never an appropriate tactic in teaching. When have you ever met a drug user (including alcohol, caffeine and tobacco) where fear stopped them from doing anything? Otherwise everyone would have stopped smoking in the last century when it was discovered to cause cancer. Drug abuse is *always* the symptom of something worse, until it inevitably eclipses that something. Don't get me wrong; I love my caffeine and tobacco. And there were points in my life where I loved other far more dangerous things. Now, I love therapy and having a social support system. If I'd have had that in the first place there would have been a low probability of my having substance problems take away what I now hope is only a third of my life.

Man everyone knows what that is! Smmh

It's an escape, a release from suffering they are enduring in their lives. For some it's just purely recreational, but for most, it's the former. I've never been a user, but this opinion is from personal experience with users.

It rarely starts out as iv drug use but ultimately ends there. With opioids tolerance climb’s extremely fast outpacing your ability to afford it and that’s usually about the time someone ends up talking you into or justifying that injecting it takes far less. That’s true initially and suddenly you have more money which is great but then tolerance climbs at an even faster rate injecting and you end up in the same situation except now you’re doing irreversible damage to your circulatory system and learning that veins are disappearing and you never get them back. It’s something people that don’t have addictive tendencies can’t understand or wrap their head around. Drugs are chemicals that release the chemicals in the brain that cause happiness in such saturation that your brain stops producing dopamine naturally and the drug ends up dictating your decisions and you are basically just a passenger along for the ride. Even after detoxing from opiates it can take months to years for your brain to start functioning normally again on a chemical level which is why addicts suffer from so much depression and can’t find happiness anymore even in things they use to love to do. It all gets better with time but it’s the biggest uphill battle you’ll face for the rest of your life and the relapse rate is staggering.

@@wonkybomb1865 Thank you for the explanation.

@@timmotel5804 It was good In small dozes Same as anything Including liquor Bad nasty shit Cant stand drunks Yet its legal

pcp is known for being a drug that has bad effects on its users, i think because there was a story where a man on pcp ripped another guy's face off. i've only ever heard bad things about it, so this was really interesting to read

Stay strong, I'm sorry all that happened.

Utter despair most likely.

Can u talk to my friend? She's dying of meth.

@@LillianStaats-vn5ff I’m so sorry to hear that. There is truly nothing anyone can do until an addict decides to get help. I went to so many programs because my family wanted me to. I was hospitalized for 3 months by my family and I managed to get drugs in. It wasn’t until I really truly wanted to get sober that any of the help I received worked. All you can do is love without enabling. Enabling is making an addicts life easier while they are using. Giving them money, letting them stay with you, paying for a phone, letting them borrow your vehicle. Things like that. Not enabling is being there to listen. Willing to get them help if they want it. Telling them you love them. Reaching out. Spending some time together. If I were in your place I would tell her I love her that she is important to me and that I will be there to Support her but only in the context of sobriety. And please look after yourself first. You can’t pour from an empty cup. If being around the destruction that addiction causes is hurting you please remove yourself. ♥️ Addiction hurts our loved ones the most.

Did you talk about Jesus Christ best high there is

Nonsense…

@@bhall4996 Define 'work' outside of service industry and clerical actions (the vast majority of the latter being better served by technology and automation, and the former floating unsustainably on exploitation of a finite/otherwise-provided resource).d

@@bhall4996 Explain on balance how, "Addicts cost govt. big $$", when they buy/obtain drugs on a market that is largely outside of govt income/taxes, and they often/mostly subsist outside of govt funding, often eliminate themselves from govt care/support, and the vast majority of any care/support is by charitable sources, in a govt that choses to ostracise and criminalise them instead of attending to the underlying reason they become addicted in the first place. Tobacco and alcohol was a big tax income for govt, despite knowing for dacades the harmful and addictive nature; and now there is a concerted (knee-jerk) campaign to stop people smoking/drinking, which actually shoots the govt in both feet regarding a large market and profitable mechanism that also employed many people by consequence (who also paid taxes). An obvious 'own goal' there I'd say.

Two birds, one stone.
