      All intentional by our govt, in the name of population control, and being able to control us in general. Being able to be in less pain is an important thing for us, and the fact that the govt controls the flow of opiates, and is trying to outlaw things like kratom, which is a much safer alternative, is very telling of what is happening. I know this seems like a crazy conspiracy theory, but I know it to be true.

      There is no opioid epidemic. You're falling for propaganda. I can guarantee that you don't understand addiction or drug use. Did you know that most overdoses of opiates are directly linked to mixing them with other drugs? You are not helping people by imprisoning them. That's the dumbest shit ever.

    Im a 17 year old. when my brother was 14, i was about 8, and he started popping xans and doing shit, and within a year and a half he was addicted to perc and oxy, and by the time he was my age him and his friends were shooting speedballs daily (crack and heroine in a needle). He overdosed countless times, ruined his life, went to dozens of rehabs. For the past almost like 3 years now, hes been sober, thank god. But to hear this guy describe his terrible addiction, and knowing he never even shot up, kinda puts into new light about what my brother must have had to go through to get the point where he is now. He doesn't talk about it much and I dont see him often anymore, so I wasnt really sure about the toll the addiction must have took on him mentally. Really insightful video, thanks

    Opiates are a mellow thing.
    I had an operation and the doctor prescribed some opiates to alleviate the pain.
    Man, it was like dating the girl you had a crush on when you were young.
    I felt real good from head to toe.
    It was like the entire world suddenly smiled at me.
    Afterwards I was really proud of myself for the way I dealt with my rehab, like I was even cracking jokes and stuff.
    It was all chemically induced bliss.
    I know it was not the real thing.

      @WaVy Crockett #JizzBoss since im takin tilidin (not common in usa) against my chronic pain i consciously let that happen. Then i make pause for weeks to month's and take it again. To me ppl having that much trouble with withdrawals acting as it's a disease don't know what a whole life in pain is. Not saying that it's the easiest thing to quit but if one really wants it it's not that big of a problem. Worst time are the first few days up to a week when u really go crazy 😄

    • @yooooodennis
      @yooooodennis 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @WaVy Crockett #JizzBoss Yes also the way of consuming makes a difference. 4 example if i do liquid my tolerance goes up fast and the withdrawals become intense (but also don´t take as long). If i take tabletts it doesn´t peak as fast and lasts longer. And i can imagine since shooting heroin peaks alot higher the withdrawals also get way heavier. Although i thank god 4 opioids since they don´t damage your organs and i can take them everyday.

    Incorrect information there, OPIATE's are derived from the poppy flower ie. codeine and morphine being the most known, and OPIOID's are the synthetic/semi synthetic medications made in a lab. Heroin is technically an opiate because morphine is mixed with other chemicals to make diacetylmorphine or diamorphine (heroin). All of these fall under the "opioid" category (any drug that works with the opioid receptors in the brain) but only morphine and codeine are true "opiates". Just thought i'd offer the correct information for those interested.

    I was given hydrocodone at the age of 10 for chronic pain in my face and head. It got to the point that the only time I felt okay was when I was on it. I got a new doctor who recognized how absurd it was that I was on hydro so he took me off. By this time I was already addicted. It was a really dark time in my life. By the time I was 17 I was suicidal and so addicted to pain killers that I did some things I really regret. The breaking point was when my sister experienced a miscarriage and I stole all of her Oxy. Watching her suffer because of me hurt. It’s been two years and I can say with confidence that I’m not the same selfish kid I was back then.
    Looking back I can’t fathom giving a child pain killers like that. I was in a lot of pain, still am, but that was a bad doctor.

      Well doing as much as he did for 5 years straight he may have a permanent low/raspy voice as a result of the drugs. I hope he's clean cuz that stuff is no joke man. Who knows he might smoke a lot of cigarettes now, those things will mess you up too.

    Kratom is pretty good for tapering opiate use, it's still addictive and will give you a withdrawal, but not as bad as stronger opioides
