Why do this? Who does this help & how? Theres NOTHING ethically wrong with using drugs. The War on Drugs & the Drugs being illegal is the problem. Why shouldn’t people go to a Heroin clinic? Or a Meth Clinic? Or make & use the drugs they want at home? Why shouldn’t that be the goal? Not everyone has a chronic relationship with the drugs they prefer. The US drug laws (illegal) are what drives drug addiction & disease. If people could get drugs without fear of arrest, getting cut drugs, using dirty needles or getting robbed wouldn’t that be better? Humans are not designed to be sober all their lives. Its fun getting high, otherwise people wouldn’t do it.

She is phenomenally driven to change lives.

Excellent meeting ❤

If you are clean you can earn take homes

Oly represent

Hang in there Kelsey i kno its hard

MORE RECOVERY HOUSING PROJECTS!!!!!

Pussy galore...... Brain scrambled beyond galore........ Of these we heart Seattle interviews I'm constantly hearing hurtful things said about the homeless as well as trafficked individuals. It's enough to say a person was housed in alot of places and REST to them directly refer to galore as the skit, omg. The shelters are full of exploitation, and society will not let people stabilize, gain employment, education, and there's too many issues that are unable to be resolved. Including how people are treated by SUD providers and detox by staff as well as other patients.

I left Seattle in 2019 to save my life - hats off to people who are able to stay sober in that city.

30:45 ❤❤❤❤😅

Your being shadow banned like a MF

Boom 💥 warrior!!! The Finest Kind!

Love Andrea Suarez! Helped out We Heart Seattle a couple of times. Great crew. First learned about them back in Minnesota.

Facts!!! ❤

Thank you!!!

Amazing work, ladies! 👏

Thieves and liars galore...fucking sickening.

We need a we heart Seattle in Olympia. We heart Olympia. Olympia can’t fix the Jungle on Martin way. Very sad.

Awesome awesome awesome awesome interview

Ginny, is there a house in Seattle dedicated to housing alcoholics? I heard about it whilst rehab. I just can't remember the name of the place. It sounded horrid.

AMEN you keep doing what your doing. I personally even being an addict in recovery I don't believe in enabling with the needle exchange or safe places to do drugs

We use to feed the homeless at Mat Talbott the 5th sundays in the month which was 4 times a year. A sit down restaurant style home-cooked meal

She’s wrong about not having any kids…. 🥰She is like a mother to all the people young and old that she takes into her heart and does everything she can to make sure they’re safe and secure. To do what she does for the suffering without conditions it’s just because she cares enough to see them and to encourage and share wisdom with them so they can help themselves. This is being a good mom to the ones who need it most.

This is true. They don't document the high number of overdoses in these buildings.

An unrelentling woman! Just the opening gets me fired up... looking forward to locking into this one G... 🤟🏼

I am a 64 year old white boy from Detroit and x street fighter. I know the game big time. I have been on suboxone for 2 years. I started at max dose 24 mgs and now weaning down to 4 mgs. It saved me from death. Opiates are a bitch but nothing impossible with GOD. Pete knows

Shame on you! As if things are better with them on the streets. 🙄 So foul.

Thank you for sharing these important conversations.

Seattle has always been The Opiate Capital of The Country. Early 1990 till now.

I work with the homeless in a program where we practice harm reduction and housing first. Do you want to know how many people have died in our program from an overdose? You are not going to be able to wrap your head around the number. It's really, just mindblowing......0. Yup! That's right! Not 1 person in our program has died from an overdose. Have people overdosed? Absolutely! But did they die? No! And they didn't die because we practice harm reduction and either staff or someone they were using with, (number 1 rule of harm reduction is to NEVER use alone), have had access to as much Narcan as it took to save a life. We have had no overdose deaths even with fentanyl taking over like it has. Had they been in the streets it is likely they would be dead.

10 weeks in King Co jail costs the same amount that it costs to house somebody for a year. It's funny how you dont mention how expensive your "solution" is. How much did those 17 times it took you cost tax payers? How many weeks were you in jail usi taxpayer money just so that 16 times you could go right back out and do what you were doing? If jail worked, it would have taken you 1 time, not 17. Just FYI 16 days in the hospital in Seattle cost the same amount for tax payers as it does to house somebody for a year.

Whats your solution, I mean besides jail? You can't be so base that you dont understand that criminal charges end up perpetuating the cycle of homelessness and addiction, right? Please tell me you understand how hard it is for a person to get a job or get housed once they have a felony. You have to know this, right?

Not sure if you were able to find her again, but i hope she was able to get into cosmetology! I LOVE her makeup and wish i had the ability to do mine like that. She seems so smart and capable so i really hope she was able to move forward on her dreams.

I have dosed here, its a fantastic clinic with great support services, they have other evergreen branches but the one in seattle also offers acupuncture

Dang....wow. rings true with my experience working night shift

Amy Smith in charge of dispatch for Seattle? We’re doomed. Another DEI hire

Let them answer you

Cant send to you

The side show of mercy housing, who is that?

Compassionate is a favorite word in seattle politicians

Heart breaking. Ty for sharing!

I experienced this about 8 years ago in the Fleetwood building in Olympia, WA.

My daughter and grandchildren were forced to live in one of these buildings and the experience has changed them.

A family I knew, moved from Seattle, down to my town, Vancouver, Washington. I was in junior high. There was a son, my age, and we became friends. Ralph Heagy was the Father, Dan, older brother, and Rick, who was my age. They worked all the time, as carpenters. They also partied. Rick and Dan both fought heroin habits, and they were all heavy drinkers. But they stopped me. Instead of luring me in, a hand reached out and stopped me from going into a room full of junkies. “I was following, and I would have followed Rick right into that room. He told me to “never do it”, that I would be addicted forever to it. So, it killed Rick at 34, Dan lasted longer. I’m 67 now, still don’t do it. I have stuck with weed. I wonder today what heroin must be like. “It must be really great”, I have watched it kill and destroy so many good people. Kind of sad, still being around without all of those Carpenters, Mechanics, all of the “working class Americans”. Good luck to everyone, Seattle is a lot tougher than most towns, to me, it always has been. DKS! (Dan Heagy’s son is up in Seattle, “and was headed for trouble last time I saw him”. If you can save him? He was Superintendent on a construction site too, “and still, headed for trouble”. His Dad died down here with me. Dan’s son is Robert Heagy.

You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.

Hi Gin. My name is Jason. Im a fellow recovering addict. I just discovered your youtube channel and am intrigued by your powerful voice, and lived insight and wisdom. Im excited to start your modern america series and thank you in advance. I leapfrogged onto episode 20 something and wrote a comment, then found you have a series, so here i go.

Truth right ? This interview Is of a lady in active addiction to dope (and methadone, but the dope is far more dangerous and destructive). To be fair and unbiased, will you also interview someone who's been on methadone for many years, and has improved their quality of life themselves, and no longer blame others or the system. You are a fellow addict, as am I, and your no longer in addiction, your path was abstinence (congratulations btw) and others use medication assisted treatment. Either choice is wonderful if it gets you out of the mind frame of an active addict only alive for the next fix. I chose methadone because an addict is never an X addict. Only an addict in recovery, because that addictive personality will always be present. And methadone works so well (if you take it responsibly without still using dope, like this girl) because it for one: builds your opiate tolerance up to a point that if you relapse the dope won't get you high, so why bother. And secondly: if used responsibly, you can maintain a regular healthy lifestyle that allows you to socialize with non-addicts, and get a job so you don't have to wait 20 years for a housing voucher handout to get a shitty SRO on skid row (or aurora ave. in your case). This video is anti-methadone and doesn't tell the whole story of how methadone, if used properly, has saved millions of lives. My opinion, and only my opinion is, this video is made out of bitter anger, and false information, that results from methadone misuse. The whole premise of your video is methadone treatment is bad, on the word of a self admitted active user of dope, who is misusing methadone. Overall, this is just my opinion, and I'm biased because methadone helped me drag myself out of the black hole of heroin addiction. Another helpful tool for long term sobriety is, you have to move out of the neighborhoods you used in, and cut loose all you dope friends and don't look back for many years until your safe with your sobriety. Congratulations on your sobriety and you have a natural way of interviewing I think you have found a calling that you were meant for, and your time in addiction was only schooling for what your doing now. Good Luck

Once they discovered there was money in the homeless business , all the gold digging politicians jumped om the band wagon.

Again with your rape pride pedo shit get this leftist rape camp hippy shit out of my face.

Why am I seeing your rape story bullshit? Trash gets taken care of by the state, and the state doesn't care. Now, Phuck off!
