Yeah buddy I hate to say it but I think you're exactly right I'm only 41 or 42 something like that but even back in my day in the mid-to-late 90s I've seen the change from then to now it don't matter if you're on the East Coast or West Coast or anywhere in between I think you're right
@@reflectionsofajunkie5773 yeah that's another good point is the purity seems like everything is trash from what I hear like I said in the other comment I'm only in my early forties so even when I did party I still probably missed the clean shit bye 10 to 20 years especially with the part of country I was in
True that. Im 55 and back in the early 80s it was fun. Quiting and relapsed in the late 90s shit was differant. Still some good shit at times but it turned i to lifestyle not a party. Quit again and now I see those on it twisted. Stay off it kids…
“He didn’t have a lot to say about me cause I didn’t like the f’ing dude 2 begin with”!! Priceless!! Smiley summed that rat out from the beginning! Smiley is a good judge of character I’ll give him that!!
I am 2 weeks sober from heroin/fentanyl today!! I was on your live chat at 2 days and you and your wife gave me encouragement. I’m glad you’re doing so well!
I have over three years off of the h in those three years we have paid off the house bought a new car I still stay very afraid and very humble after 20 years doing it it became a demon so much so that's sometimes I still miss it it's really easy for me to remember dopamine in the brain but all too quickly we forget the constant running and chasing it down about to be sick stay strong stay humble and I pray God gives you a lifetime of freedom and sobriety I am no better than those still using just blessed enough to love something something in my life more banh mi numbness
He’s 100% right. I was moving weight here in SoCal back in the 90s where there was still a little Loyalty on the streets. But now I see abunch of chumps rattting left and right. There is no more loyalty. When you are in that life and if you are making money and doing good you will have haters left and right that are looking to take you down.
Mitch, I think you should totally do more videos on all the damage you've seen from drugs over the years, especially dope/crank/meth. All we ever hear about from the news is about how people are dying from opioid overdoses (which is very serious and real), but the real keen ones on the streets know that we in America have been in the middle of a god damn meth epidemic for over a decade now. I remember back when quality crystal/meth/dope would cost you upwards of $10 a point. Ever since the cartels literally flooded every state with tons of that sh*t, the price has gone down to less than $10 A GRAM. Who would have ever thought that a gram of meth would one day be cheaper than a gram of weed. I'm not someone who dictates what a person does to their own body, but if you got a powerful drug like that for dirt cheap and easily accessible on the streets, that just means more scumbags are going to be running a god damn muck, completely spun out of their minds... and causing A LOT of collateral damage. #StayRighteous 🙏
I completely agree with you. I'm a recovered addict that turned counselor who works with those in addiction, and from what I've both experienced and seen at work, it's a serious fuckin problem. I've seen more lives destroyed from ice than I could ever possibly want to. People become a completely different entity on that shit and lose their sense of sanity and humanity. Meth-induced psychosis ain't no fucking joke
Thanks Mitch. I’m 52. Grew up in Southern Oregon. At 13 we had access to crank. What a learning experience life is. Got out of the crank game at 17 thank God. Keep up the lessons for the people out of the “know”.🤘
@@HARDINTENTIONS Yep. I did. I had a brother find me in a house that belonged to a woman who had 3 kids running around in that nightmare. Me and my brother lived there. I got out before child protective services got involved. And he became a “ runner “. He got out because he survived an attempted murder. He lives with me now. Can’t hear out of one ear cause that is were the first blast from the Shotgun hit him, and he has half of his thigh gone from the second shot that came from the other barrel. That was the 80’s. Listen to this mans words folks. The shit is real time. Don’t think you can walk thru hell unscathed. ✌🏻
June 29, 2017 is my sober date. I know we put ourselves in that situation, but unless you've been there, people have no idea the strength and dedication required to make to the other side. Few know what its like to be at war with your own mind. There is a way out, if you're willing to do the work. Great vids as always Mitch, keep grinding brother!!!
I fucking hate the commercials or ad's but I've been fuckin with ya since the beginning & if its helpin ya out watching em the entire way thru then im happy to do it. Love the channel brother keep up the good work
Mitch you have a gift brother to be able to sit there for over a half hour and share your knowledge to us all. You should speak at recovery centers and colleges and if you can get through to one person mission accomplished. Give the misses my love brother 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
I've got stories that relate to this but I will share them face to face rather than online ... this is another great inspirational and positive video.. these real deal videos are ones that talk to people and get them to change because they know you have been through it and made positive changes.. you are a great man for doing this Mitch and a big ol thank you to the Mrs.'s for doing all the hard work. God bless the Smileys and the Hard Intentions Army
I used to get speed made with P2P back in the day. Some was like glass or you'd see speed called peanut butter crank which wasn't as good. I'd stay up for days and use Tuinal to get some sleep once in awhile. I'll tell you one thing man speed psychosis was no joke.
I always enjoyed THE REAL red and black glass and it was much better than cold cook stuff made through Birch's Reduction and I also remember Crank as well and how it could turn out looking s number of ways.
Very solid message alot of people really need to hear right now. The VA had me fucked up on painkillers bad from injuries I got in the Army. Before it took my health, the last thing I had left, I got off all of it. I smoke a little weed now and drink water. Never been healthier in my life and got my life and my family back. You're completely right, in the streets now its a fast track to death and prison. The drugs are trash and most the people are not solid anymore. Fuck drugs 💪
Thanks for serving our country my friend and I'm so glad that you got your life back on track that's amazing thank you for being an example to those who need it also
Thank you for being a person who isn’t afraid to recognize the homeless problem for what the overwhelming majority of it is. People who are unwilling to recognize the truth aren’t people who will be able to effectively address issues. So here we are and it’s a damn shame for everyone.
Ive been clean and sober for a year and a half now by the grace of god, friends and family that gave a shit about me and with the help of 12 step programs. I can’t imagine having to get sober while locked up, where are you can’t even get away from it. Respect ✊
Good video Mitch ,you hit the nail on the head ,dope fiens are not to be trusted and should be sent down the road ASAP ! got rid of that hell 16yrs ago ,best move ive ever made!!!!!!!!
I got locked up 2017 at the infamous Cook County jail here in Chicago, we call it the Hotel California. I spent just shy of a year in the same Division and dorm which is rare. The setup was one giant dorm of bunks divided by just a wall with 375 in back and 425 in front just a big one flat room . Turnover rate was a ridiculous 40/60 people every 2 to 3 days. They stopped strip searches because of a big class action lawsuit and was so busy that they didn't even bother with the x-ray machine search because it would take an entire 20-30 seconds per person so they only used it for court. The amount of drugs in this place was astronomical. There were times when up to 8 or 10 people would be overdosing at the same time just 10-20 after the stuff touched ground. I had people literally pass from ODs just feet away from my bunk while i was sleeping or reading a book. Look up from my book a watch them body surf a dead dude to the front bubble.
Before the opiate epidemic kicked off people were calling my hometown San Pedro "Slam Speedro". I've personally been clean 11 years (12-28-2009). Alot of dudes are doing life on the installment plan because of drugs, revolving door.
Thank You for sharing your stories sounds as if you have seen the devil himself and lived to tell about it please continue to share love your channel M.L.&R☠️⚒☠️P
Very well said, I was hitting for like 9 year's in the CDC at Old Folsom and I was working in visiting. But I ended up stopping hitting because it just got harder to collect payment and not to mention getting told on by the people that owe you. It was just to much trouble to deal with that. Smiley great video once again and I tell you this, your videos keep me humble because they remind me of the madness that goes on in Prison because it's so easy to forget once we get out. Thank you
You're exactly right it is so easy to forget the hard times once life gets easy. And also yes people started telling my crazy once they knew they had an out with the SNY
Great Video Mitch. Its really sad how masses of people will live their only life to get high. I am so glad that you and your wife are doing so well. Really a great story. Be Easy Partner. Much Respect from the East Coast. Providence, R.I. 👍
This needs to be watched all over the country. You just answered a lot of questions I've had since I e been trying to formulate why men are different than they were in our time. I have something to share that might equally answer some more broader and historical reasons I bet you already surmise. I have an idea, I will email. This right here was great
This is exactly how I remember crank. It came out here from Cali and it was called yellow sunshine. Everyone would stay up like 24 hrs and be like o shit I'm good on that for a minute. The shit these kids are snorting, shooting and smoking today is probably 90% chinese bath salts.
Left my car in the hood at a gas station because I thought someone rigged it up to slowly send electricity through my body every time I put my elbow on the on the metal strip on the window. Also spent 16 hours detailing the same car. Can’t nobody tell me that shit is fuckin fun. 🤣🤣
‼️WTF‼️ I've been here since 23&1 and Mitch has always been straight up! How in the hell does he only have that many subs⁉️ Hit that fucking button it's free ya jacklass‼️ Mitch is old school Cali and when I think of Cali this is who I think of and rhe beach&mountains lol, oh and most importantly Herb! Salute Mitch and yall jackasses better hit that free button and show that love ‼️
I dealt a lot of weight on my younger days. I caught by the dea and San Diego task force. Anyway. One drug I didn’t fuk with was meth. I hated the clientele and heroin. Come and week was a different type of buyer compared to meth and heroin...tweakers would be calling you 24/7 all spun out. Paranoid. Wasn’t good business dealing with people like that...I don’t see how dudes can get spun out in a prison cell. No where to go. ThTs. Gotta be the worst high
Bug Mitch I are by far the best dude on the freakin internet on you tube brother I can hear it in you you care about people thank u brother for your story’s love love love your freakin channel been sober almost 3 years man
Hey Mitch. I know I used to mess around on your channel but i was just joking. truly sorry to hear you lost your job ill watch all the ads. As every little helps take care big fella
God gave you the will to quit while he knew you had the strength... And gave you the experience to never do it again and now your a freeman not just on the other side of the wall but also spiritually and mentally without a gorilla habit on your back .. God bless ya
I don’t think I could have ever done Acid for 3-4 months. After an LSD Reid. I was happy it was over. After 12 hrs I wanted to snap my fingers and it was over. BUT......ya better be saddled up for a24 bid
I am really serious mitch.... Your a much older and wiser man but i can see some of the things your reallysaying. I really learned aot about you and how you survived with class a 38 year sentence in the belly of the beast
I remember whites from back in the day. And the acid too. This is an interesting perspective on the evolution of the meth trade. I'd say you are spot on although i didn't witness it from inside prison. Great talk, well worth the listen.
That's what happened to me . A Guy got caught with a little bit of Meth and was facing 30 days in County Jail . He decided he would do some controlled buys from us so he didn't have to do his 20 days with good time . We figured out who he was and he was shunned from the group and put on Blast . In the end none of it is worth it . The Authorities ended up seizing my House , 4 Wheel Drives , Motorcycles , Boat and everything else as proceeds of crime . All for Nothing .
@@HARDINTENTIONS Thanks brother ..Really been binge watching all your videos..I beleive im on the same page as you as to the way you think about shit..Love the movement Mitch..Good ass stories ..one minute im laughing my balls off the next im all serious and shit ..peace from the 413 big homie.

So glad u made it out of that shit hole brother and get to experience the good life out here in the world bro god bless ya I'm praying for your mother to man
👍Cool story bro , it's exactly like that, dope opens the doors for demonic possession. I even stopped smoking cigarettes. I am the same age as you and I am good. We , old school, were lucky in some way .....it was weed and beer, not so much synthetic drugs like now ! Times have changed a lot ! Ride free! 🦅🙏 Baba Nam Kevalam!
@@HARDINTENTIONS Well , now it is going to be very very difficult to preserve that " lifestyle "...limited travellings , outrageous control everywhere.....nothing is like before and it won't come back....we will be lucky to " score " the food never mind the rest ...😊 You are cool Mich...👍👍👍
@@HARDINTENTIONS I am from Serbia , orthodox Christian origin, they would love you over there...😊. How you got into that , I wonder....it's very different than catholic.....much more genuine, specially Serbian version, it got influenced by our prechristian spirituality which was partly pagan but also connected with Vedas....30 % of Serbian language has Sanskrit words...crazy stuff. You have been Serb in you previous reincarnation.....🤔.. 100 %. Also our pagan God Perun was actually Thor...and you look very much like an Serbian.....very interesting , bro , no kidding....
The drug was called “Crank” because the bikers use to hide it in the crank case of their scooters. That’s back when it was made with Phenyl-2-propane (p-2-pe)
It is made the same way now. Cartel speed is racemic speed. Not the good dextro methamphetamine made from ephedrine. They lost their ephedrine contacts. So now they do the benzaldehyde > phenyl acetic acid > 1-phenylpropan-2-one (P2P) then reacted further to final product.
@@justineadebisi8225 I work for a company that does GCMS testing of illicit substances that are seized. I have a bachelors in organic chemistry. I think I’m right. All the speed coming from south of the border is racemic. Starting precursor is phenylacetone. Speed derived from ephedrine based starting material is of dextro racemate. Furthermore they add adulterants to form big crystal structure because racemic doesn’t do that. The cutting agent is N-Isoprophylbenzylamine. It is a MA analog. So your average cartel speed is around 30% dextro at very best. Usually much lower. GCMS does not lie.
I was hooked on dope. lost everything, prison, homeless, the whole thing. Never thought id buy a new Harley, new truck, but i have. Thank God, man that life sucks
U literally just explained perfectly how a twacked out person acts . Out here on the streets dudes that always doing dirt to people always act the weirdest on that stuff . Everything u said was true alot of them.dont have the mental capacity to do those drugs they never come back the same
@HARDINTENTIONS yea every guy I've met on it always says yea man it don't do that to me see them a month later and they think everyone who texts there phone for a point is the feds setting them up its crazy I don't see it either. There is no such thing as a functional drug addict in my generation I'm 28 these dudes are tore up
We are were a different breed. Stronger, common sense, survivors. Today these jokers are weak. Weak backed weak minded. Many had mental issues and these drugs today compounded the situation. This crap now isnt a party. Its misery. If you've never tried todays drugs, never do! Run from it and avoid those who are involved in it.
"I'll pay his whole fuckin debt" Uncle Mitch... Everyone listen to this man he's solid and true. No bullshit,your getting his TRUE story,not some fuckin horseshit....✌
I was born in 83. I'm 40 years old. Your definitely right. I lost a few buddy's to that shit. Hallucinating, never the same. Around 05 a friend shot himself thinking the gun was unloaded, trying to scare his old lady. RIP AJ. Horrible drug
Hi Mitch I’m from Sydney Australia and I just want to touch on the Point about drugs in the jail system. I did time in the mid 80s here and the drugs were just starting to come in mainly heroine and completely decimated the penal system as far as the crims used to stick together after the drugs came in there was no unity all the rules went out the window and it fucked everything bad now it’s even worse with the introduction of crystal meth lab and feta mean if you get what I mean so I agree with your message sounds like the same thing happened over there take care keep the videos coming great work regards Simon
They had the same Problem in Portland that I had to live around because I was homeless too, but I was sober and traveling around...but the dope problem on the streets is crazy.
Great message, I sure hope a lot of young folks watch this til the end and take advice from those that have been there.
I know your not working right now homeboy so I'm watching all the ads the whole time because I know it helps you out
Thank you sure does make a big difference for us we sure appreciate the support as well hopefully like the video take care out there brother
@@HARDINTENTIONS damn you lost your job sorry to hear that smiley hope you get another one soon if you don't mind me asking why did they lay you off?
Just hit the mute button.
Yeah I am with you, back in the day we would party, now it’s a lifestyle.
Nailed it. The drug purity and cultural changes have turned the party life into the dope fiend/addict life
Yeah buddy I hate to say it but I think you're exactly right I'm only 41 or 42 something like that but even back in my day in the mid-to-late 90s I've seen the change from then to now it don't matter if you're on the East Coast or West Coast or anywhere in between I think you're right
@@reflectionsofajunkie5773 yeah that's another good point is the purity seems like everything is trash from what I hear like I said in the other comment I'm only in my early forties so even when I did party I still probably missed the clean shit bye 10 to 20 years especially with the part of country I was in
Music when I was growing up was about drug dealin,, now it's all about consuming. Times have changed
True that. Im 55 and back in the early 80s it was fun. Quiting and relapsed in the late 90s shit was differant. Still some good shit at times but it turned i to lifestyle not a party. Quit again and now I see those on it twisted. Stay off it kids…
If someone has never done methamphetamine before, plz don't ever do it cause it's not fun anymore. It's a bunch of BS and it ain't worth it!!
Dark road strait to hell

I have something to share that might equally answer some more broader and historical reasons I bet you already surmise. I have an idea, I will email. This right here was great
Thank you for watching my friend I'll check your email take care out there much love and respects Mitch
This is exactly how I remember crank. It came out here from Cali and it was called yellow sunshine. Everyone would stay up like 24 hrs and be like o shit I'm good on that for a minute. The shit these kids are snorting, shooting and smoking today is probably 90% chinese bath salts.
It's definitely garbage I'll tell you that best thing ever did was quit
Fn A they make it out the worst most corrosive chemicals you can get your hands on! No big surprise it destroys anything organic!
Pure poison
Left my car in the hood at a gas station because I thought someone rigged it up to slowly send electricity through my body every time I put my elbow on the on the metal strip on the window. Also spent 16 hours detailing the same car. Can’t nobody tell me that shit is fuckin fun. 🤣🤣
That's right there's nothing funny about it or fun it's a straight road to a very bad place glad you survived it
Bruh sad part is i totally relate 😂 hope u found recovery
‼️WTF‼️
I've been here since 23&1 and Mitch has always been straight up! How in the hell does he only have that many subs⁉️ Hit that fucking button it's free ya jacklass‼️
Mitch is old school Cali and when I think of Cali this is who I think of and rhe beach&mountains lol, oh and most importantly Herb! Salute Mitch and yall jackasses better hit that free button and show that love ‼️
Thanks for hanging tough with us brother it's awesome having real deal subs on our channel thank you so much
Its all right man slow n steady wins the race..he has a smaller following but i feel like his audience is down for mitch and supporting his channel
Its a weird combo of chemicals they don't know its eating their brain ,its not speed
Yeah. It's strait poison
I dealt a lot of weight on my younger days. I caught by the dea and San Diego task force.
Anyway. One drug I didn’t fuk with was meth. I hated the clientele and heroin. Come and week was a different type of buyer compared to meth and heroin...tweakers would be calling you 24/7 all spun out. Paranoid. Wasn’t good business dealing with people like that...I don’t see how dudes can get spun out in a prison cell. No where to go. ThTs. Gotta be the worst high
Thank you!!
Thank you
Speed started getting evil in 94-
For anyone familiar with drug use and the history of drug culture...its obvious to me that the shit on the streets now is a whole beast....
Right on Mitch, really enjoy your insights and experience with this lifestyle. You are a true OG.
Thank you man
Thank you man good information
Thanks for sharing your experience. The history is definitely needed today
Preach, Uncle Mitch. I'm 14 years clean. So glad to have been able to escape that shit life
That's right my friend nothing like being free from things that drag you down to hell

I am really serious mitch.... Your a much older and wiser man but i can see some of the things your reallysaying. I really learned aot about you and how you survived with class a 38 year sentence in the belly of the beast
I had to share this with friends
New camera brother? Looking good! Keep up the good work!
Thank you hope you're doing well out there
I remember whites from back in the day. And the acid too. This is an interesting perspective on the evolution of the meth trade. I'd say you are spot on although i didn't witness it from inside prison.
Great talk, well worth the listen.
Thank you. Yeah, things went from being a party , to strait up zoombie shit. Dopes no good. Living strait is ruff but its best
Heavy stuff!!
That's what happened to me . A Guy got caught with a little bit of Meth and was facing 30 days in County Jail . He decided he would do some controlled buys from us so he didn't have to do his 20 days with good time . We figured out who he was and he was shunned from the group and put on Blast . In the end none of it is worth it . The Authorities ended up seizing my House , 4 Wheel Drives , Motorcycles , Boat and everything else as proceeds of crime . All for Nothing .
Absolutely. New gangster is 9 to 5
Pretty new to the channel

Yes sir
👍Cool story bro , it's exactly like that, dope opens the doors for demonic possession. I even stopped smoking cigarettes. I am the same age as you and I am good. We , old school, were lucky in some way .....it was weed and beer, not so much synthetic drugs like now ! Times have changed a lot ! Ride free! 🦅🙏
Baba Nam Kevalam!
Yes sir it's not a party anymore it's a straight addiction that leads right to hell
@@HARDINTENTIONS Well , now it is going to be very very difficult to preserve that " lifestyle "...limited travellings , outrageous control everywhere.....nothing is like before and it won't come back....we will be lucky to " score " the food never mind the rest ...😊
You are cool Mich...👍👍👍
@@HARDINTENTIONS I am from Serbia , orthodox Christian origin, they would love you over there...😊. How you got into that , I wonder....it's very different than catholic.....much more genuine, specially Serbian version, it got influenced by our prechristian spirituality which was partly pagan but also connected with Vedas....30 % of Serbian language has Sanskrit words...crazy stuff. You have been Serb in you previous reincarnation.....🤔..
100 %. Also our pagan God Perun was actually Thor...and you look very much like an Serbian.....very interesting , bro , no kidding....
Thanks Mitch.
I agree 💯 with you. Addiction is immediately devastating today.
Happy Monday
Happy funday
Thank you Sir
The drug was called “Crank” because the bikers use to hide it in the crank case of their scooters. That’s back when it was made with Phenyl-2-propane (p-2-pe)
In the Philly area, P2P came from the Italians.
It is made the same way now. Cartel speed is racemic speed. Not the good dextro methamphetamine made from ephedrine. They lost their ephedrine contacts. So now they do the benzaldehyde > phenyl acetic acid > 1-phenylpropan-2-one (P2P) then reacted further to final product.
@@waltersobchak7275 you’re actually ill informed Mexican speed is pseudoeohedrine meth it’s dextro meth ephedrine meth is racemic and p2p is racemic
@@justineadebisi8225 I work for a company that does GCMS testing of illicit substances that are seized. I have a bachelors in organic chemistry. I think I’m right. All the speed coming from south of the border is racemic. Starting precursor is phenylacetone. Speed derived from ephedrine based starting material is of dextro racemate. Furthermore they add adulterants to form big crystal structure because racemic doesn’t do that. The cutting agent is N-Isoprophylbenzylamine. It is a MA analog. So your average cartel speed is around 30% dextro at very best. Usually much lower. GCMS does not lie.
Prope dope! Hey Mitch I subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
I was hooked on dope. lost everything, prison, homeless, the whole thing. Never thought id buy a new Harley, new truck, but i have. Thank God, man that life sucks
U literally just explained perfectly how a twacked out person acts . Out here on the streets dudes that always doing dirt to people always act the weirdest on that stuff . Everything u said was true alot of them.dont have the mental capacity to do those drugs they never come back the same
Sad issue but people think their all good on the shit . They don’t see it
@HARDINTENTIONS yea every guy I've met on it always says yea man it don't do that to me see them a month later and they think everyone who texts there phone for a point is the feds setting them up its crazy I don't see it either. There is no such thing as a functional drug addict in my generation I'm 28 these dudes are tore up
We are were a different breed. Stronger, common sense, survivors. Today these jokers are weak. Weak backed weak minded. Many had mental issues and these drugs today compounded the situation. This crap now isnt a party. Its misery. If you've never tried todays drugs, never do! Run from it and avoid those who are involved in it.
"I'll pay his whole fuckin debt" Uncle Mitch... Everyone listen to this man he's solid and true. No bullshit,your getting his TRUE story,not some fuckin horseshit....✌
Hey nobody benefits from BS right
Absolutely right..
The song he references is Willin by Little Feat.
Not to mention the "cut" people use is causing alot of medical problems for people and is causing alot of physical problems!!
Drugs aren't the problem. WE are the problem.
I was born in 83. I'm 40 years old. Your definitely right. I lost a few buddy's to that shit. Hallucinating, never the same. Around 05 a friend shot himself thinking the gun was unloaded, trying to scare his old lady. RIP AJ. Horrible drug
Sad to hear about your friend, man , society is just on a weird trajectory now. Drugs have destroyed so much
Hi Mitch I’m from Sydney Australia and I just want to touch on the Point about drugs in the jail system. I did time in the mid 80s here and the drugs were just starting to come in mainly heroine and completely decimated the penal system as far as the crims used to stick together after the drugs came in there was no unity all the rules went out the window and it fucked everything bad now it’s even worse with the introduction of crystal meth lab and feta mean if you get what I mean so I agree with your message sounds like the same thing happened over there take care keep the videos coming great work regards Simon
They had the same Problem in Portland that I had to live around because I was homeless too, but I was sober and traveling around...but the dope problem on the streets is crazy.
What I remember is they were using Hydrotic acid after the P2P days ended. Hydronic acid, red phosphorus and ephedrine.
Red white and blue they call it
Great Zeus beard you're the best fucking story teller ever ☺ ☺
