- We ask three experts about what might be coming next in the ever-changing picture of the War on Drugs.
A world flooded with ultra-powerful synthetic opioids, people buying drugs from AI dealers, Mexican cartels pouring methamphetamine into Europe - there are some terrifying prospects on the horizon. And yet, the US, the birthplace of the War on Drugs itself, might just be beginning to turn a corner in how it thinks about this whole failed enterprise.

I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder; was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. 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. We all need a reset.
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. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
No officer, that’s the *robot’s* coke.
Just decriminalize all drugs already. The war on drugs is over. Drugs won. Time for harm reduction.
Im all for decriminalizing safe drugs like heroin,pcp, and weed but the dangerous ones like rufies, meth, and shrooms should probably be illegal.
@@grantlong6586 i legit cant tell if you’re joking what the fuck.
@@switch_flip9811 the war on drugs isn't a joke its ruined alot of lives.
@@grantlong6586 you just said shrooms are dangerous you cant even bother doing research to find out what safe drugs actually are. I bet you dont even know what substance is in a roofie. Hell even meth is relatively safe.
@@switch_flip9811 roofies are roofing chemicals duh. Also alot of people have mushroom allegeries and there are poisonous mushrooms. Also watch breaking bad alot of people got shot because of meth.
drugs; my future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.........lol
Keep em on so you fly in jail and pull a bitch
Or have swagger with no money and really shit on people
The drug culture in the Netherlands isn't suitable for meth. People don't want to be high for 12 hours over here.
We don't do meth, we do capitalism
@@mirteb.1788 But does it get you high?
12 hours where you getting your meth?
Lol good luck with that. Act like ppl in Netherlands don't already do meth
@@bigmikegrows408 yeah plenty of meth heads in the netherlands
we need Hamiltons input on the topics you go through because if his insight. Bring him on the show.
Hamilton Morris is a genius, and is able to explain the complex chemistry in understandable ways. 100% agree.
@@Ben-mp3mb💯
@tamtansiyavoshi475 now that’d be an awesome collab to see
Wait. The younger generation thought they would be 3d printing drugs? This explains a lot.
I lived through the crack epidemic. It was mind-blowing to see people going to jail for resin on crack pipes. I have no problem with them going after drug dealers. But locking up drug addicts and recreational drug users is insane. If you have a serious drug problem you should be in rehab not in prison. Focus on other crimes people may have committed while in possession of small quantity of drugs
This is the way England has gone. Chasing the dealers and big players versus the average Joe at the bottom. Here in Australia they GO HARD after meth dealers but not so much the average users of weed and stuff. I remember being a removalist and taking a mattress from one house to another, a house full of young university guys. A few months later there was a road block and a bunch of cop cars and a guy on the ground in cuffs AT THE SAME HOUSE. Most likely one was a meth dealer.
@@OffGridInvestor it's really good to see other countries taking a different approach. The war on drugs here in the United States has been a monumental disaster.👍
I blame the smaller crime that they commit on the prohibition of drugs. If drug addicts weren't being fired because of stigmas an overcharged because of the black market they wouldn't need to commit crimes
Not only in prison, but with a criminal record, so you'll have way more difficulty trying to live a normal life after leaving prison, and you won't be able to vote in elections if you got convicted of a felony.
Amazon is going to use drones to deliver packages
Better be weedeious
Tha will b so fucking great see if they deliver faster 😅😂😂😂😂
Hope its heroin
Same same
Good watch
As an ex H addict I can safely say, there will always be heroin
Yes and alot of it is cut with fentanyl or just pure fentanyl. I'm in Tennessee and it's crazy around here. Pills are more expensive and you don't know if there real or pressed. Feds are everywhere busting people left and right but it doesn't stop it. I lost my brother on January 1st this year he was found at 6am he lost his battle to addiction. Just 32 years old with 7 kids. They just now put a methadone clinic up after years of protest due the all the deaths. Opioids are no joke and people mix them with other things like Xanax. I got out of prison in 2018 and I've been to over 15 funerals due to drugs. Not to mention all the people arrested as well. The war on drugs will never be won.
@@montanafields709 damn man, I’m very sorry for your brother, a casualty of the drug war, it’s a shame your town didn’t get a clinic sooner…. I was only able to get off H with help from a clinic. Thoughts and prayers to the 7 children who are also victims of this plague.. idk how you’ll feel about this but if you’re wondering, your brother died of a overdose of pleasure so there was no pain. Stay strong, brother. 😢
@@zacrusk5274 yeah he was found asleep in his bed by his roommate......his roommate's dog was acting funny so he went to check on him....it was 6am on New years day...... addiction isn't a joke man it's serious and a very hard battle to overcome
@@montanafields709 I'm sorry for your loss man. Been through it all myself and I know what you're going through. All the best to you and your family man. Peace!
@@marksuckaturd5098 thanks bro it's hard he shot his ....I was addicted to but I snort it well did I'm not on it anymore people say it's harder withdrawals if you shoot that's a fucking lie bro I detoxed for months man facts
My compute declines to answer any questions without his lawyer present.
Really annoys me when ppl refer to spice and all that nasty chemical shit is 'synthetic cannabis' cos it has nothing whatsoever to do with it apart from smoking them both in a joint...spice heads are not trying to get stoned
Facts. There are plenty substamces to which they are comparable- cannabis is not one.
Bro. Fentanyl = Cannabis, like after like one toke, I died. Cannabis is the devils lettuce! It'll blow your face off!
@@lukesutton4135 you’re right- yu caught me. Ima PR rep for big cannbis trying to clear its name. Alas, it is true- one toke and you will no longer be woke
Spice certainly isn't marijuana. Causes some people to go completely nuts.
My advice to any newbie, pace yourself. Drugs arent as bad as people say WHEN YOU USE THEM PROPERLY! Im not just saying when ur sick, bc most use to get high. Spacing it out will ensure no mental issues like anxiety, depression, dependency, etc happen. Good luck!
Parties become weekends which become every other day. Then it's full blown addiction. It happens fast my friend. Watched many fall
@@dmo848 need to be strong psychologically to not fall down the deep hole. Drugs aren't harmful, it's the increasing tolerance and dosage that is
UK need to just legalise it!
Amen yes just let us have the Hurb. Netherlands been doing it forever USA did the same & now have billions in revenue.
Comparing legalizing Marijuana to legalizing heroin is not proper.
Please stop the ban on drugs. Legalize all drugs. Stop giving criminals power
Not gona change anything, weed prices are still ridiculous even though it’s legal if ya don’t grow your own, gona be getting weed from the same people they just went legit, their practices ain’t gona change
The Amphetamin Problem is not new in Europe and most of it still comes form Eastern Europe but with more and more regulations and border surveillance it isn’t surprising that drug producers from oder region’s want to tap in to market.
Isn’t it amazing how street speed is so abundant in Europe, and not America. I mean given the US accounts for 70% of all “adhd medication”, I understand, but still
@@miproduction6196
ha true, but you also have a lot of uppers.
You also have meth and cocaine, don't you?
But I'm a bit flabbergasted at how hard you need your downer.
Not just in the sense of how much of it is apparently consumed in America, but also in the sense of how strong it needs to be. I mean, why Xylazine and fentanyl? One of the two should be enough to send you completely into oblivion.
I hope this crap doesn't spill over in a few years, it really doesn't look pretty right now.
I hope it gets better but your politicians seem to have absolutely no understanding, idea or real interest.
They seem to prefer to build gated communities and then move in themselves.
Alot of us of that generation know a whole shit ton about harm reduction shout out erowid
Dutch meth getting exported to south east asia?! LOL! you wish! ever heard of the golden triangle? Meth is getting IMPORTED from asia to europe sonce 30 years! Europe will never ever be able to produce it at lower costs. and what is that story about ordering drugs from robots? did i miss the part when you talk about it or is it simply not there?
Yes, meth. Not opioids.
@@TJGermany www.voanews.com/east-asia-pacific/chemicals-meth-out-asias-booming-golden-triangle-drug-trade
@@TJGermanyactually there's both on the golden triangle.
What about this robot dealer thing? They never spoke about that
I was literally thinking about that documentary about Sisu in Asia and how that guy smoked really skinny pipe and literally they showed it 1 second later at 10:24!! Holy shit!
Wait 3D printer can create drug? What kind of drug the person who said that smoking? 😂 Lol
You've clearly haven't been keeping up with 3D printers
Can it make crack?
0:6:06 - 0:6:10 That's not an American City. It's Calgary, Alberta, Canada. There's another documentary in regards to Fentanyl users seeking help. I immediately recognized the scene and thought "CALGARY!".
Interesting how they showed the CD cover of "Garth Brooks" (0:10:33) being used to chopped the Crystal Methane.
Tha is because the country scene ( and not hiphop , techno or EDM ) is consuming thge most drugs and meth in US .. theres a study on this
Only on meth one can listen to crap like Garth Brooks
Perhaps the researcher’s predictive paper on fentanyl sparked chemists with the idea of synthesizing analogues for (temp legal) distribution.
irony of them not seeing their company going belly up
does anyone know the name of the host
You will be surprised what one can do with a potentiostat and proper electrodes
I hope so it’s so hard sourcing ngl
... so, let the bags drop boys!

Because it’s not the way Jesus intended to do drugs
oh i get it now...
cartels just need to call them drug SHARING apps not drug selling.
now the law no longer applies to them like other app companies right?
please send me a billion dollars when you get rich cartels
Dude looks like the English king from that Netflix movie. Maybe Hotspur too?
Crystal meth has been in the northernmost part of Europe for some 20+ years.. I couldn't find non meth amphetamine from Stockholm Sweden in the year 2000. Also it has been six years since my gf died in Fentanyl OD here in Finland... So designer drugs are old news here..
Sounds kinda gay
Same her hear in Germany but i noticed that it gats worse, the Speed is cheap as chugger and bad weed gets often spread with spice. Sorry for your loss brother, i hope your doing well, cheers to you mate✊.
Super Doc. Merci Vice.
Worst part is I’ve already watched this
Hope not
You can go to any town and get it whatever you want
Finally
i mean if you program an AI robot to sell drugs, i’m pretty sure theyres a loop hole in the US court system that will allow it 😂😂
Hitting a toke rn
The perfect counterpart to Hamilton
Nobody on Earth compares to Hamilton Morris.
3 minutes in and not a single mention of robots
All of a sudden Mexico has a bunch of fent cooks ? Why don’t American cooks make it ? Why isn’t cooks all over China dying by the hundreds if it’s so potent ?
@WILLIAMS F1 RACING. y’a but 3 grains can kill a full grown man. Lol. So not tru
@@bookreaderson 2 MILLIgrams can kill a opiate niave human
They need to blame the mexicans
Well, make a drug that is as good as heroin/fentanyl and not as deadly.
When you introduce a drug like fentanyl to a population it is just so terrible. When people, specifically drug addicts, hear about overdoses they want to get that drug even more than before. They think "Oh people are dying, it must be strong." Because they never believe they will be the one to die, or they think it happens to weak people or other people that only did something stupid. But it's terrible because the second the news starts reporting about overdoses and people start hearing about that in the street, it just drives them to want to get that drug more and more. Instead of staying away because it is MORE dangerous...
Yes they will, and my own robot will go score, and test the quality of them for me 😂😆
Please legalise weed in Cornwall
Well they'll probably be more reliable. I just need need this shit regulated and the ability to get it from a chemist. Then we can just party in moderation. Im actually just trying to get sober at the moment, for my mental and physical health.
@ :30 The 209 shows up for Merced, definitely lots of drugs there 😂☠️
Milton Friedman back in the 19070s said the war on drugs would make drugs more potent. END THE FAILED WAR ON DRUGS.
Do you guys have any bags ?……
Synthetic cannabinoids' made popular in the early 2000s were first synthesized in the late 1970s to 1980s by Pfizer Corp. as potential analgesics, who in turn made made 400 analogues of THC, patented them, and made them into a product that Chinese labs produced heavily and sent to America. Most of the 400 analogues contain non-toxic properties and a range of them is even water soluble. This is mainly what was put into the first wave of "SPICE" and, to be honest, It was GOOD. Before the USA Federal Government made these very well-made, stable products, totally illegal in America. -A Chemist.
Yeah I’d heard about this too they made one illegal and two new less stable synthetics were made and the cycle kept repeating itself
@@tookie1864yes the first wave wasn’t that bad nor was it as addictive. It had a better feeling but after the first ban, it was horrible, addictive and would cause people to go nuts. I’m glad I didn’t try it long and just went to regular bud.
What
Hey vice you got your facts wrong, 18 states are rec not 15
The government will stop supplying them
I use carfentnly daily for the last 7 yrs wo one over dose over doses come from ppl thinking they are getting perc 30s or heroin and getting something much stronger
just used AI to make amphetamine salt
Isn’t it amazing how street speed is so abundant in Europe, and not America. I mean given the US accounts for 70% of all “adhd medication”, I understand, but still
What do you mean by streetspeed? Meth is so prevalent in my state of Washington in America that you can get an ounce of 96% pure Mexican meth for only $100. If you buy it in bulk you can get it for between 50 and $80 an ounce or cheaper.
@@bradpnw1897 oops my bad, I meant street amphetamine, which is super prevailant in UK i beleive, whereas meth isn’t. US it’s swapped lol

So what about defunding the police kids that seems to be what’s going on right now. They can force drug laws if they don’t have police
Grenade launchers. no joke. LA School Police -- yes school police -- actually had them. As a veteran I met civilians who never bothered to sign up for the service in the first place acting like receiving training to kill is cool. Pretty strange.
No they did not have grenade launchers. She said they weren't allowed to have those. Funny cause a lot of former military go into policing.
@@whiskybooze Not a lot. only some. but I'm speaking from the other officers i knew not the enlisted. Though most of my enlisted I managed went on to normal civilian jobs. To your point, it probably depends on the MOS/communities or last duty station where it could be a lot (east coast vs west coast). I only read about the grenade launchers in the la times a while back so going by memory. thx for any correction.
EDIT
So i did find this article. So I am correct. The LA School District police had indeed received them but they were returned as they were non essential for the school police force. (I'm not referring to the LAPD, which is separate.)

Heroin is completely extinct in new England
Just let us have the Natural Herb That Grows From The Ground... its amazing healing components for people specially with Chronic Pain. If they tax it there have billions I'm revenue & can use that for the NHS. Get better roads like the Middle East they don't have potholes.
Its funny they talk about the darknet and show snapchat...what about whitehouse?
heroin. was better than fentynal
Suppression breeds violence
war is not the answer.
I thought Europeans discovered crystal meth during WWII
Great Reset?
“They see themselves as an occupying force”
*Gestapo/SS anthem intensifies*
Meth is so cheap in my state of Washington that you can get it for $100 an ounce and as low as 90 or $80 or less if you buy in bulk. If you have to pay more than $120 to $150 an ounce you're literally getting ripped off. Very glad I don't use meth and have been an addiction recovery for years and I work in it.

They outlaw drugs but legalize gambling and hardcore porn.

I was wondering when you push the ORANGE MAN BAD stuff.
war on drugs is what pays police forces, sick
I saw a drugstore in Japan called Drug Penguin 🐧, 🐧, 🐧, and I went in 😉
You have 20 seconds to complain.
As soon as you pushed the orange man bad, you lost all respect for THIS. Orange man bad. Try again as it was bill Clinton that increased massive amounts of statutory sentences.
tbh it was during the Obama Admin that these 400+ fairly non-toxic and safe analogues of THC were banned and made illegal... so fuck them all. All Presidential Head Figure BAD. America is a Corporation and NO the CEO is not your fucking friend.
