I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

You know. I'm 48 years old. I use Heroin since I was 14. Used Speedball consistenyly (means in massive quantities) for 4 years from 2002 to 2007. Now I use Heroin 4 times a day. I tried meth and had the wonderful idea of using it for 9 months when I had to face a couple of very tragic "losses" in my life. That 9 months of shitty meth did more harm to me, my health and my mind than 30 years of plain old heroin. Meth it's really the shittiest drug on the planet. No other explanations.

​@@randyleonard4126I actually came off with Suboxone and it was a lot easier to come off. For me personally methadone was just as addicting. It actually got me just as high if not higher. I never got high of Suboxone so it was way easier to wean off. Plus I'm not sure how it is where you are but here you have to go downtown every morning for your daily dose of methadone. Suboxone is very easy to get prescribed now. But if it works for you then Great! Continue on the right path.

It's crazy how it starts out in Missoula, MT. I'm from a small town within Missoula County and tried meth at the age of 16. It didn't have the same hold on me that it did on a lot of my friends but I still used it off and on for a few years, which is horrible. I made the decision to stop and that's exactly what I did. I want nothing to do with it ever again. I've seen it tear families apart, friendships apart.

If you know of any of his childhood friends who are successfully in recovery see if one or more of them will reach out to him and take him to NA meetings. With those of us in recovery part of the program is service to others. Inside nobody wants to be an addict and if someone reach's out and keeps reaching out to him maybe he will have a chance for a normal life again. many of us if not most of us it took many attempts before it worked and we got our life back.

The first thing that comes to mind is how far we have slid from when this documentary was made in 2007 . 16 years later , fentanyl and trank and other flesh eating drugs are rotting away flesh and souls . No one is addressing addiction as a symptom of a very sick society that's on a downward trajectory we are as a nation are being taken down , this is war . We lack morals and a spiritual link to God . This is a spiritual battle where demons enter through drugs bottomline . Eph. 6. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Whilst it might seem disturbing, the chemical reactions involved in making it mean those ingredients don't remain the same chemically. Methamphetamine is not just all those things mixed together, but certain chemical components of them recombined to create a different chemical. At the end of the process, methamphetamine is simply a particular combination of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen.

I got my teeth fixed, got into a good church, {not in that order}, have new friends, and peace within. It's like night and day, I have been homeless, you name it. Seen a lot of friends waste away and die from suicide, I am so grateful that God had His hand on me! I pray for this young family, my heart goes out to that poor mom, who has been through unimaginable pain. And I thank God for good grandparents, who raised me in church, my home life growing up was pretty chaotic, with an alcoholic addicted father...I went to jail many times, for possesion, and now they are legalizing and releasing people right back onto the streets, so sad.

I'd have tried a before and after "I was bored, so I tried meth..." but follow it up with an equal campaign of "I was bored... so I volunteered at a food pantry" or "I was bored so I got the kids in the neighborhood together to put on play" There's a million things to do beside meth, but it seems the grown ups don't have any more imagination than the kids. My parents gave me pot and LSD by the time i was 12. I stopped going to school and dropped out. By 18 I was shooting heroin and coke. By 23 I lost interest. People around me were dying. They're still dying of the same things, so it seems you can't ever really get away from it. On the upside by the time I was 28 I decided to go to university, and that was good. That changed everything.

Holly's story shows that it is one big circle. The use causes issues for kids, and later when they are adults, it is a reference point, if it didn't come into play *AS* kids. Then they get all jacked up, have kids of their own, and the process repeats. The story leading up to it had me following closely... the "my grandmother understood everything I went thru", combined with the sudden tear show, sealed that one up tight. Good money bets all up and down the tree you find more or less all of the same exact activities that she described. The chemistry may vary somewhat, alcohol vs meth, etc but it will all be there somewhere and somehow. All of it. The drugs. The abuse. The shattered lives. *Really* good odds. Her kids and subsequently their kids have great odds to find themselves in the exact same predicaments. Thankfully there's an under mentioned force that tends to be in play within families, a "pendulum effect" that will make *some* escape the madness and find their way, leaving the family behind. This would be the "I'm not going to be like my parent(s)" thing we all experience. It tends to drive us all the way in one direction or the other within a given context. This usually alternates generations but can also happen "off to the side", as in the case of a single sibling vowing (and keeping) total sobriety in a family otherwise completely full of hard users, for example. This effect isn't limited to just families either, it is visible in countless places within the whole of society as oscillations in everything from fashion to politics. This makes for a noisy field when trying to separate the two from one another, as individually, *none* of us ever represent "the whole". As such, not only is determining exactly what brings any given scenario to be very difficult, this makes forecasting what will come of "now" all but impossible, save for some general concepts ("it ain't gonna be good for these kids, but the human species is robust and will continue on") 🤷‍♂️

My mother has been on meth for over 30 years. She had 7 years sobriety at one point but is now back on it. She has no teeth and can't really wear her dentures because of the rotting gums underneath and her legs have huge holes in them. She has been treated for skin cancer, gone through radiation and chemo but the only time her legs healed up was when she got sick and ended up in the hospital for 3 months. Her legs COMPLETLY healed. I don't understand why her docs don't understand that the meth is causing her legs to never heal. They are literally rotting off. She is also a drinker and a chain smoker. Its heartbreaking. She makes "friends" and says how great they are and then inevitably they rob her. Several cars have been stolen. She is ALWAYS broke.

Lack of access to mental health services, no resources, no support systems, and a general consensus that nobody cares about addicts. If these people were shown love, compassion, and understanding, would their lives had changed? How would their children be living? When that little baby, with a full diaper and matted hair, had to go into the fridge to get milk, my heart broke. It is horrific what these kiddos have to go through.

I'm in my mid 50s now, so I grew up in a different era; we didn't have meth then (or if we did, I didn't know about it). But I was a teen in the 80s. There was no war on drugs then. Even in high school everyone had their own personal dealer. We mostly did cocaine, angel dust, mescaline, acid, smoked pot. Then there were all the different pills. The only drug I never tried was heroin; and honestly, that was because of something my father told me when I was young that scared me enough that I refused to try it. I wish he had done that with the other drugs. I am writing this comment because what he told me was just like these commercials, "I'm not gonna be like this guy". My parents were friends with a couple, Rita and John. Rita's brother was a heroin addict; the only one we had heard of, because this was around 1975. He died of an overdose. It was a shocking thing because back then drugs hadn't really hit the suburbs yet. This is what he told me: "Do not try heroin even one time. You can use it only one time and become addicted." I asked him how that could even be possible. He said, "Your body is constantly doing things that you have learned to tune out and ignore, like the feeling of your blood passing through your veins. However, when you do heroin, all of those background sensations in your body disappear and every cell in your body feels wonderful. Indescribably wonderful. However, when it wears off and all of those sensations your body is used to ignoring come back, the pain and discomfort of every cell in your body will be enough to drive you mad. It will be so intolerable that you will literally do anything at all to get more heroin to make the feeling go away. And if you can't make the feeling go away, there is a very real possibility that you will commit suicide because the feeling of the discomfort of every cell in your body is so terrible that you'd rather die than live". This worked and kept me off heroin. Maybe describing it like this to younger people will keep them from trying meth.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s witnessing the anti heroin campaign on TV in the UK. I used heroin at the end of amphetamine binges sometimes for three days. The "use it once and your addicted" theory did not apply and I was able to stop with no cravings. Whilst everyone may have different susceptibilities to various addictive substances it is in my experience not applicable. Young people who experiment with heroin no doubt realise they have been misinformed about its addictiveness and continue to use.Addiction then follows. Unless we have honest communication regarding drugs; their different affects and potential dangers, young people will continue to suffer.

One of the most fascinating things about this documentary is how aged the relatively young methamphetamine users appear. Starting @12:06 there's clips of interviews with these people in their 20s, early 30s, they all look to be late 30s, 40s. Another thing is that no sane person would ever consume the individual ingredients (especially from the shake 'n' bake method). Yet, when they're all distilled into a clean looking crystalline powder, it seems to be easier to ignore what it's made of. I imagine too, if the user has tried it before and experienced the high, the brain may unconsciously ignore any cautionary information in pursuit of euphoria.

@GR8APE69
@GR8APE69 5 ай бұрын
​@brianfitch5469 That's not true. Adderall is two different amphetamines - amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine is made up of two stereoisomers, a "left-hand" isomer called levoamphetamine, and a "right-hand" isomer called dextroamphetamine. It's the exact same molecule, except the atoms are arranged in a perfect mirror formation, kind of like holding your hand up to a mirror - they're both your hand, but one shows the back of your hand and the other shows your palm. Since "amphetamine" contains both levo- and dextro- isomers, mixing it with dextroamphetamine just ensures that the mix of left/right isomer is more concentrated with the right isomer than the left isomer. Why? Because the right isomer is what is responsible for the classic "amphetamine" feeling of being amped, experiencing euphoria, and generally having a greater effect on the central nervous system. Conversely, the left isomer, levoamphetamine has a greater effect on your peripheral nervous system and is responsible for effects that are similar to that of pseudoephedrine e.g. bronchial dilation, clearing of nasal passages, etc. Dextroamphetamine happens to be more effective in the treatment of ADHD symptoms, but it's also more highly associated with addiction, paranoia, and hallucinations, so it's formulated to include levoamphetamine as a hedge against the more serious side effects. As for methamphetamine, meth has NEVER been an ingredient in Adderall. HOWEVER, meth IS the active ingredient in the pharmaceutical drug Desoxyn, which is very rarely prescribed for severe ADHD, severe obesity, or treatment resistant narcolepsy. Methamphetamine has both levo- and dextro- isomers as well, but Desoxyn has them in equal parts - what's known as "racemic" methamphetamine. Therefore, amphetamine is technically racemic amphetamine. As for methamphetamine and amphetamine being "one molecule" away, they're technically one methyl group away from each other. Methamphetamine is amphetamine with a methyl group attached to its amino group - one extra carbon and three extra hydrogens. Chemically speaking, the difference is almost negligible. Pharmacologically speaking, the difference is immense, as amphetamine works peripherally and does not cross the blood brain barrier. Methamphetamine, on the other hand DOES cross the blood brain barrier, which means it works on the central nervous system in addition to the peripheral nervous system. This makes it both stronger and more intense, with a more immediate high, and a far greater potential for abuse and addiction. It's disingenuous to suggest meth and amphetamine are one in the same. While they're very closely related, amphetamine is like sipping a Bud Light, while meth is like chugging Everclear.

Friggin Trump snorts the stuff daily as do SO MANY in ALL stratus of society. I was prescribed as much Adderall as I wanted for diagnosed Bipolar. The diagnosis was wrong. The prescription made me psychotic and it was awful. It wasn't hard to stop THAT at ALL. What WAS hard was figuring out what was really going on inside me. Come to find out my problem was having been horribly emotionally abused and neglected by Narcissistic parents. CPTSD IS REAL AND FIXABLE!! ASK ME ABOUT IT!!! ( That's not my whole story. Just a relevant chunk💜)

I have a massive Quavers problem. Really cheeses me off. Problem with addiction - it's not the drug that causes it in 80% of cases, it's the underlying reasons people seek out altered states to an unhealthy degree (i.e. mental health/social care). That's what needs addressing. The other 20% requires education and harm reduction. Yes, yes, I accept that 57.43% of statistics are made up but you get the point.

Instead of the army being sent abroad to fight pointless wars it should be used to hoover these people up of every street corner and slum. Stick them into camps, clean up and educate them, and look after the kids. Teach them to build sustainable houses and communities. They deserve to live a good and happy life and we have the power to interdict their downward spiral and help.

You speak my thoughts on this too. We must treat this situation like the crisis it is. Simple math tells me that when 2 individuals who have NO business having children at all (can't adequately look after their own selves with food, housing, education, running water etc), mate carelessly and now result in 4 babies who will (9 times out of 10) grow up to be unstable adults. It could have been only 2 people who are screwed up and requiring lots of expensive help and resources.....but now it's 6 humans needing and needing and needing. And in 16-17 yrs, the kids will be spewing out unwanted, uncared for babies themselves, so now we have around 12-20 more to cope with. I would love to see a law where if you give birth and are found to be using meth, heroin or some such drug, you are automatically sterilized with a reversible procedure (husband/boyfriend too). Addicts can not care for children, they are way too busy committing suicide with their drug of choice. When and if they can get their lives together, they can reverse the sterilization . We must start acting like we believe children are valuable, instead of lip service.

Maybe but in my experience no dealer holds a gun to a persona head and forces them to take it. It's your own personal choice if you want it it's available if you don't want it they aren't hassling you to take it. 85 percent of dealers usually have a much larger habit than the customer's (hence why they are selling) and don't really pocket much money at all, but the wholesale distributors and cooks, these folks aren't great people.
