More top than bottom.

Safe supply and lowering barriers of entry for maintenance therapies are the only way to combat this issue. You have to deal with the demand, if you don’t there will always be someone willing to supply it.

The easy solution is to not use it. The failing parents are one part of the problem. My kids will never use or die of any drug because I have fulfilled my role and always been a role model. Junkies are losers.

Nobody told them to buy drugs...do you know how many decisions you have to make to get ahold of a drug it starts from getting the money out of the ATM and they could choose not to do them but let's blame somebody else for our problems haha good luck

You mean the ones in Mexico right???

your heart going out to families does nothing to help. good job.

@@manolodequeretaro the junkies here un the us

Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without fentanyl, 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 fentanyl, alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

I've been looking to try shrooms for depression, just very difficult to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!

Hey! Yes very sure of Dr.benshrooms. a single dose of shrooms saved me from Alcohol addiction. 6 years clean. no cravings. this doesn't sound weird to me in any way shape or form.

I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice!

​@@markbrown8097you are correct.

I’m so glad you have survived this horrible time in your life. So many don’t get a second chance my friend. People have no way of knowing what they are taking, the illegal looks just as good as the legal.

Exactly! Where is that investigation?

They abuse them bcuz they're addicted, prolly started by wanting to get high just like people who start smokin tree..

That is a massive myriad of points of interest for your question. I personally took a few Vicodin that ended 10 years later with me stopping because of pricing. But I did lose friends that continued after me 😞

Interesting point

yeah they need to legalize it to end all these innocent deaths

No. Your attitude is wonderful. But prohibition is a failure. And we need standards in all drugs. Prohibition has failed.

Thank you! They always talk about American victims but no one talks about the thousands of Mexican people who have died thanks to American weapons being smuggled into Mexico every single day.

Actually, great investigative journalism takes a lot of time and work. That's why you don't see it constantly. What you do see every day is the mainstream media producing a news product designed to draw viewers to get the funding that eventually pays for the less frequent great investigative journalism. That daily product tends to be sensationalistic and play on emotions because that's what works. Don't like it? Don't watch and they'll stop. Hasn't happened yet. A lot of complaining about what the mainstream media serves up, just like there's a lot of complaining about what the drug traffickers serve up, like fentanyl. But in both cases the market is driving the product.

​@@annemarie1507and what of the concept of 'manufacturing consent'? Do you believe that manipulation is not a tool used to persuade the public?

Sorry man but L you know that’s there fault they should have been smarter and not picked it up and should have been raised correctly

Why so many in your circle are addicted?

That will never happen as long as humans exist so will drugs sorry to burst your bubble but your not alone in losing people you love we all have I lost 75% of my high school class

They won't get it under control until they allow access to safer alternatives. Aka- proper pharma pain killers. Instead of doing that they have doubled down on not allowing doctors to prescribe

Oh, you must be joking. We're free to make bad choices in the US.

Why as an adult not aloud to put what I want in my body. I could go to the corner store and die from alcohol poisoning. We have plenty of good DUI laws on the book to protect innocent people.

@@chaddittman8053 how does it protect if it doesn't prevent

Yeah. We love to blame others for our own problems.. we love drugs!!! High school and colleges are just full of them and then when you go out to work you find out people snorting coke and popping pills left to right 😅

Bro I don’t know why they think they’re helping when they’re making it worse

The answer is they don't want to solve it because it's making so many people and corporations so much money.

@@metavatareverything is always about money at the end of the day

Oh they know!…

​@@metavatar As always someone makes money from the drug market. Time to admit prohibition is a costly failure.

Yep😢

It will only become worse, when the economy really starts dipping. Rough times are ahead.

Thank you for sharing the Absolute truth About America 🇺🇸. Nobody speaks about this side of the addiction. Period

Crazy thing this isnt the first opioid epidemic society has dealt with before oxy it was heroin and before that it was opium that's why we should legalize all drugs because no matter how much laws you want to make people will still find a way to sell and buy what they want. If they legalized drugs and offered a safer alternative like controlled morphine people wouldn't be dying from fent

Thank you, this is the correct response.

As a matter a fact I dos everything I could to make her understand.. but I can promise you we already were talking about these same things but she's just getting más

Whys the fact your indian relevant here?

That part

Do a story on how people want to get high

You get it but, it is not a popular opinion. It's much easier for people to blame the drugs than the reason they took it.

Got my bro to we from NE as well rip

i get high when I win an argument on Twitter or the comments section of TRshow. Drugs have zero affect on my mental faculties. Absolutely zero.

good for you

@@keyurpatel1982 okay? Lol

Precisely. Address the root causes and not just the consequences...

Exactly! There is a demand for it so the Mexicans are supplying it!

I think you should check your facts, recreation? How can you even measure that.

Bad journalism there’s a lot of wrong information on 15:45 they was armed cartel members

That's one reason I supported the Free Trade agreement in the early eighties: Canada, the USA , and Mexico and the movement of goods, services, AND PEOPLE as in Europe and it's union. Unfortunately, it's just too good a whipping boy for federal and state politicians to garner and preach to the converted. Housing? You'd think US politicos would want softwood (framing) lumber from Canada to come in big time at a low price. But they constantly engage in blockage and court fights (most of which they lose years later). |Meanwhile. tornados, storms, and other weather disasters make mince meat of poor house construction in the USA in bad weather areas. Citizens are the losers, their politicians get re-elected!

well said

true.. you can go in agonizing pain with a broken rib and they give you tylenol like wtf

Exactly

that whole story is heartbreaking, God bless those babies souls 🕊️

Legalize and education is the only way to win this battle you are correct. British Columbia Canada just decriminalized drugs and all addicts have access to safe supply. Many are watching BC to see if fentanyl deaths will decline I suspect overdoses on fentanyl will decrease substantially for the first time in years instead of increasing.

How do you know she's upper middle class?

That's our culture last few years there's actually some people white Americans me and cluded who actually believe in morals and positive shame

Amen. You are right

Never thought about that, that should be the first question.

Good point. Even in smaller, more controlled settings like prisons, we have regular American citizens (not drug cartels) smuggling drugs in. So we can't put the blame solely on the cartels. We are a part of the problem.

Research with labor mice shows, that they are too exposed to the risk of addiction. This is due to the universal reward system in the brain of each living mammalm

what lots of money and not enough brain cells from doing too much drugs does to somebody

You mean "tiny homes" for the homeless to get high in?

We need to take the money out of our military budget.

guns and weapons courtesy of the USA goverment

This is an excuse this is America a 1st world nation there’s opportunities everywhere if you pursuit but yet people love drugs here 3rd world nations that education is not guaranteed or forced by the government parents don’t know if they gonna have food or water on their table no internet but yet they don’t abuse drugs only America has that problem people use drugs because they want to get high that is it

It is the only way but I don’t blame the ones who can’t visualize it

What "opportunities" are lacking in wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods where drug use is rampant in the young population?

YES!

000000😊

safe supply is the only thing that will reduce deaths. if ppl knew the potency and drug they were using, opioid overdoses would fall to early 2000s levels - a couple thousand a year instead of 100k

Bingo...Nobody wants to believe this part tho.

That is your culture.

@@pasofino9583no. It’s not. It’s the government, not the people.

​@@Amy-vk9ovbut we vote for those. From the sheriffs to the city council, to the mayors, to the governors. You can't vote corrupt politicians and say it's their fault. They're decriminalizing drugs AND crimes in major cities. These major cities are.... democratic. Just facts

Wide open border

Started in the 70s.

This is a dumb statement. We have to have pain meds and one day you will need it and eat ur words. If they stopped making pain meds it would be a mess. Suffering . And the pharmaceutical companies didn’t start it. Sure they and doctors overwrote and overfilled a lot but the supply/demand is issues and the demand is the main issue. And drugs has been an issue for way longer than the last 5-10 years. Just because you haven’t had to use pain meds don’t be stupid and make comments you have no clue what your talking abt

It’s all just Business, man!🤪

I'm currently homeless and addicted to fentanyl. I have to agree with you 100%.

just like the drugs

Nothing warrants killing in the name of profit but it's a way of life and leisure and control for others that have no councious.

Exactly, the country is at fault because they won't allow doctors to prescribe proper pharma pain killers.

"Discipline" also called having "good routines" and a "structured day" in psychology develops during the upbringing This is acquired through social environment. "Discipline" can also be the result of your own ability to repress yourself. Now if you have only to repress some unpleasant memories, you can succeed. But say the traumatic memory surge is so intense, you get so miserable... do you lack "discipline" ? "Discipline" is so blurred as a word and helps only few. Or may be "discipline" referring to the "executive functioning" ? Calling it by its proper name helps people to find how they can learn its practice. If its refers to repression, then only clinical psychology can help or trauma therapy Sure it is nothing for helping against Fentanyl. Impulse control is a matter of neurotransmitters, the amount of stress experienced in childhood weakening the frontal cortex (stress is poison), the background activity of the brain (traumatic pressure) And the health of the autonomic nervous system, which depends directly from the care and love you got as a new born (myelination of the Vagus Nerve after birth) Impulse control does not drop from the sky... Will and cognition are massively overrated and work only a short time. Far more powerful practices are Awareness instead of will Selfcare instead of repression Deep understanding along its emotional dimension without judgement instead of cognition
