Not like it used to be where you knew a $10 bag wasn’t going to kill you now you might die off a key bump especially going back after getting clean. You got this man keep it up. Im going on 8yrs after a bad OD, I think I got brain damage I was out for so long but Im still here and Im thankful for the second chance God gave me. Good luck brother 🙏

    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. Spent my whole life fighting fentanyl addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

      100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

    29:47 Addiction specialist and behavioral therapist here! Just FYI Harm reduction isn’t generally paid for by taxes. nonprofits handout harm reduction kits, which include clean syringes also testing supplies to see if you have fentanyl in your drugs and Narcan to save people from overdose.
    It’s not enabling. It’s reducing harm as the name implies. It reduces death and the burden on the healthcare system. People are gonna get high with or without clean needles. And with or without safety supplies.

      All harm reduction facilities every single one is run by a state or the government and is funded by our taxes I know this because I have worked with a harm reduction groups in Massachusetts the entire system that harm reduction is based upon is a broken one that no longer helps addicts 75% of the harm reduction groups in our country don't even offer a pathway to get clean play don't work with rehabs or detox centers nonprofits are not allowed to even work in harm reduction as far as dispensing clean needles or pipes it's only allowed under the guidance of federal and state authorities

    • @amberminor4838
      @amberminor4838 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@solar2000unfortunately he's completely wrong a simple Google search will teach you that all harm reduction and needle exchange facilities have to be over thought by government authorities be it state or federal state and federal taxes are the only way these centers are funded as a matter of fact a very easy way to check this is look up the funding given by the Biden administration under the cover of covid so these ask Harmony reduction centers could start handing out crack pipes in glass bowls for methamphetamine nonprofits as he put it or not allowed to even run a harm reduction center in the United States anywhere

    • @amberminor4838
      @amberminor4838 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Also while I was an active user and like most people I know who use if they need a new syringe and they are sick they're not going to take the time to go to a harm reduction or needle exchange they're going to grab whatever goddamn needle they can find to get well and the fact that needle exchanges for the most part don't require collecting the needles they hand out to get new ones is just plastering the streets around them with used needles because everybody just tosses them they do far more harm than they do good harm reduction my ass just another way for Rich assholes to profit off of poor addicted folks

    • @vivaportugalhabs

    3 years clean from blues... They aren't lying when they say you become a whole different person. At my worst I was smoking 4 blues at once on the foil... Shit was so addicting, and the withdrawals are horrible. I was on it for 2 years... I'm glad to be where I'm at now... In college, and still alive, just had my 23rd birthday a few days ago... Thank god. If anyone is struggling with this feel free to reach out to me.

    This stuff is no joke! I was hooked on opiates for 10 years and then heavily hooked on fetty for 2 years. What makes it so scary is it does feel amazing, but will hook you IMMEDIATELY and ruin your life, especially with the very short shelf life! I was just tired of living life like that tho and decided to get clean. Did it at home with my lady by my side and man it was a grueling few weeks, especially the first 10 days, but I did it! I got clean and have been clean for 2 years! Could have died getting clean at home without medical help, but I was determined. Now we just bought our first house and life is great! I wish I could warn all first time users to stay far away from this drug…but I can’t. So I wish everyone the best and please stay safe.

      Actually this shameful government is the secret guy behind the scenes who gets most of the cut from what is mistakenly called an epidemic when it actually a crime against humanity.if ever they elude to “cracking down” it’s only to save face to the public. Our fake pos leaders in the most powerful positions r the only ones who can bring in this amount of drug- also funny how sooooo much tranq, by law ONLY accessible by licensed,college educated veterinarians goes unaccounted for? I guess some stuff isn’t important enough to take inventory. Also China was right & patient enough when they said America will be brought down slowly by its own leaders from within n its thru fentanyl. China knew America’s greed well enough to know what to do n sit n wait patiently. So let’s watch every day CNN report on getting such awful illegal immigrants outta here.

So many preventable deaths caused by enabling its spread in such a way.

Ive felt how powerfuly it can take you out. One second your here and one secomd your not. Most addicts don't want to die. They just dont know how to live anymore. I am so thankful i got help and completely submitted to it. Ive been clean 6 years. Lufe is not as hard as I thougjt it was.

The issue with america is how inaccessible treatment for drug addiction is. Where in switzerland and portugal it’s easily accessible. We need harm reduction AND rehabilitation accessibility.

    been clean for almost a month now. this drug ruined my life multiple times. I’ve lost friends, I’ve lost money, opportunities, everything, and even lost myself and almost my life a few times and still it wasn’t enough to get me to stop. No matter what, you really won’t get clean until you really want to, no one can make you and it’s gonna be hard but with time you’ll feel better. It took me almost 2 weeks to start feeling normal and even then it’s a life in recovery, you’ll always be an addict unfortunately - changing your thought process is key.
