So this what Steve from blues clues is doing now

Super interesting episode my boi, ive been clean for 8 yrs from a 12 yr addiction, im currently a 2nd year psych student,when you spoke on genes and environment got me wondering your specific take on that as an addiction neuroscientist. As a psych student with prolonged personal experience with addiction, and other life experiences that time bestows upon us, some of the literature i am taught doesn't quite equate to what's actually happening, specifically the addiction literature( in psych) as ,i feel, the researchers( usually students) may not understand specifically what the data indicates, rather an interpretation based off literature that was ,again, based of data that wasn't quite well understood, hence the specific take from an addiction neuroscientist ( the empirical "data" I obtained over my years as an addict around other addicts who regularly spoke about what was going on, truthfully, no skewing based on incentives or outcomes,no intervention based on funding etc, seems like a gap in understanding knowledge or data researchers obtain.

I’m sure it’s not the best thing but why am I listening to medical advice from the pink hat ?

What's worse than jersey snore ? 💤. Mike the bitchuation from that fkd up show

It takes just six days of consecutive (daily) use to feel the physical effects of withdrawal. And, that’s only the lighter easier ones, .5’s, and .10’s. The shit is no damn good!

I get it.....Fighting on and off for 20 years opioid addiction....I'm to the point of being sick and tired of being sick and tired !!

The origin of the quote on your wall is Dr. Timothy Leary. Interesting…

For opioids like heroin or oxycodone addiction turns into half part still obviously loving the highs but the other half is really only focused on the avoiding withdrawals. That was my experience.

Been taking mat for 4 years. Im my opinion its very helpful.

I was prescribed this BS! Wasn't addicted, been disabled ever since

Yeah... I ended up epileptic after coming out of a benzo addiction...

I get it. You are a research scientist. You are studying active use which can lead to abuse. I am not an expert in that. But I am an expert in my own personal experience and I know that I went through a time in my life where I had my mom die, became physically disabled etc and was able to use benzo meds, pain meds as needed and was able to physically get myself walking again with the help of professionals who gave me great advice. I realize that you are trying to prevent a messy outcome. But I think it is fair to explain that not every person has SUD. Many people can decide that the helpful effects of a drug are short term and can regulate themselves accordingly. But, in America, somehow we just disregard the patients experience and rely only on the "medical professionals" who are making money of prescription over use. I'm sorry, but if I use your own protocol of equating extremist use with proper use, you are not providing trustworthy data. I am not saying you are wrong about this information, what I am saying is that many, almost all, doctors are provided a long-term plan towards personal wealth via big pharma that provides a " you need this for the rest of your life" scenario that doesn't actually define the cases where that is true and the cases where capitalist providers make maximum profit at the expense of the patient.

So is the opioid epidemic response with GABAPENTIN overuse going to backfire in the way I think it is???

Can you please talk about short AND long term effects of meth and fentanyl? I started when i was 18 and stopped at 24 which was almost a year ago! Appreciate the video, thank you!

She was so lucky to be able to sleep when she went through her withdrawals. I ended up doing it working 50 hours per week. I would have lost everything i have so rehab wasnt an option. I remember being really bitter about having to do it on my own too.

Lovin the content bro. Wishing you success on your journey

I took Xanax for 3 years and 🛑 no big deal. Just exercise and get more 🌞

Haha awesome, this was like a mix of dr drew after dark, huberman lab and maher 🧤

I have a friend I grew up with and she OD'ed and wasn't found for a little while, she lived but can barely see (legally blind), she is on a walker and has to have a caretaker 24hrs a day now because she has so much brain damage!!! She cant drive, obviously because she cant see. Ppl really never talk about if the OD doesn't kill u what it does to u....

That was a damn good intro bro 🔥🔥🔥

Damnit this kids gonna do Coke. He looked at the sun 🤣🤣

High quality content. Subscribed and wish you success here on yt, I think you deserve it

Ive been able to stop heroin 5 times for months and months. I have never been able to stay away from alcohol for more than a week. People dont realise gaba agonists are crazy powerful when you rely on them. Its 11am and im watching this video already drunk.

Youre cute and I like your subliminal nod do psychedelia with the neon sign and I want to date you.

drugs don't have to be a hip hop thing

When DMX did this interview i cried. It broke my heart. I pray he's at peace now.

Rip dmx finally he’s at peace now hopefully 🙏🏾

It’s called a whoolie when you cross weed and crack. Well that’s what it was called in that area of NY

Was that the damn Tony hawks special trick noise bro lol

Classic beat

RIP DMX! Great video man, you could tell this shit really affected him.

Yup people can’t seem to think past their own thoughts on things.

Just stop getting people addicted to drugs for a paycheck, it isn't a difficult concept

Enabling and profiting off addiction is wrong, stupid take

You can sell an alcoholic beer, but only one person has a choice to drink kt

Ya maybe if your talking about substances prior to being processed but then it’s completely man made, not a very thought through argument

SO where is the fentanyl tree/plant ? your argument is FLAWED

How many people are dying from diabetes a day that’s the real drug

Intro sounds fire. Gonna try and come back and tap in more

Ashkon I figured you’d appreciate that I’m listening to this while I’m at the rig 😂 really enjoying your commentary!!

The most qualified are people who are addicted or been through addiction. Something school simply cannot teach.. respectfully

Good fuckin shit man

Also impressed about the sbout of drug knowledge lil xan has lol. Kid has come a long way it seems

4 min in and this is your best vid to date. Putting some great info and knowledge out

Bro, this is good content. I'm a recovering addict, and I've been through programs with excellent teachers who not only went to school for the help they provide but also were once addicts. I find the science behind addiction fascinating. You got my Sub! Keep it coming!!!

Solid video as always bro! That dude is definitely tweakin 🤣

The DEA is nonsense?? Ever heard of HANK SCHRADER??

I do agree that not all drug dealers are bad people. The wire taught me that you never know someone’s motivations for selling drugs. But those who knowingly sell tainted drugs are undoubtedly bad people, right?

While I get the argument that opioids, alcohol, nicotine are all “drugs” and should be considered such, does that argument really translate to dealers as well? Such as nicotine and alcohol dealers… I’m not so sure I agree. Alcohol and nicotine are so widely accessible and legal. I’m just not sure I abide by that logic… lemme keep listening tho
