That serenity prayer at the end. And the 12 step meeting scene at the end made me cry. When i was in recovery we did the serenity prayer every night. AA saved my life.
I started my long journey of being an addict when I was 11. I was prescribed 20mg Percs cause I had surgery. (Late 90s they pushed Oxy like crazy) I was in 6th grade. Then I found all my parents pills and found other kids doing drugs. 20 years later I wound up in a coma for 6 weeks from liver and kidney failure. I went from prescription pills in middle school to being a handle of vodka every day and a couple grams of heroin - and eventually Fentanyl being used with a needle. I kept trying to get clean. And just couldn’t get it. I’m happy to say that I’m am sober today. Took me being in my mid thirties to finally get it. But I’m in a much better place now.
Jai… I had no idea about your situation with pills. I’m so so glad they did not win . You are such a beautiful person. I’m happy you and half have each other. Great people.
It’s so much more complex than just a doctor trying to make a Buck. Granted there were some shady ass doctors that did do just that, but I’m in the medical field and it was the pharmaceutical industry that really were corrupt in this whole thing. They ran studies and knew how addictive these pain killers were, but they also knew how much money there was to be made. So they lobbied and sent pharmaceutical reps to convince doctors (ones that are truly trying to be helpful) that a patients pain is what they say it is, and these medications were 100% safe. I know a few doctors that never bought into it and were ostracized at the time for not being empathic with their patients. It was a conspiracy that ran deep.
I'm in a small town rural area and most my kids friends are dead from od. Heroin hit hard now meth. Been this way for 20 years or more. My own son overdosed on boy many times. He has 15 days clean now of meth. It's really bad here too. So bad
my parents first “dealer” was my dads doctor… he got injured at work and they doctor just kept giving him the meds when he said he “needed” them. the visuals of withdrawal in this video brings memories back of my momma being as sick as a dog fighting to get those nasty pills out her system, it brings me back to my dad crying at night threatening suicide because of what we were witnessing. thankfully they’re 12 years clean now. being clean is a huge ass accomplishment CONGRATS JAY KEEP KICKING SOBRIETIES ASS🙌🏻 other side by macklemore and ryan lewis hits harder than this song to me i think y’all would also enjoy that one
I’ve never seen you channel but I came across it because I live Macklemore and this is one of the best reaction videos I’ve seen looked like you guys REALLY listened to the words…. ❤
There is a reason why he won a Grammy for best rap album he’s insanely talented artist and people don’t show the respect and still don’t he work is powerful
#wedorecover 12 years clean and I've never heard a song describe the horrors of opiate addiction with such total accuracy. My Dr started me, got me hooked, then he eventually went to jail up here in MAr💜💜💜💜
Problem is, I actually had a tumor in my spinal cord, and the doctors I went to thought I was an addict because a lot of people going there were. I had legit pain and they gave me a half a dose of vicodin and sent me on my way. Since I really had pain throughout my nerves, it didn’t help. Needless to say, an MRI was done, they found the tumor and surgeons finally fixed me. One year later.
I will always be happy for my hospital. They have a pain clinic. If you are taking opioids, you have to go in every three months and take piss tests to make sure you are not misusing them. I have been on a VERY high dose of opioids and hated that I was, but I needed it, and now I am down to a very low dose.
I remember when thsi first came out. This one of his hit different for me, I'm retired from a major city of 22 years, but when this ssong came out we bad a epidemic of bad heron and it was causing fols to walk out in the middle of major streets and highways because of the bad drug . It was turning them into real life zombies anyway, the next part of that story is, out of all of the overdoses 80% said they had been addicted to legal pharmaceuticals. Thus of course with narcan , this went on for a whole month. Doing ems calls over and over and over get heart wrenching because all of them had families and lost everything they owned. We all know that govs, and elites pushed big pharma to pad all of their pockets. Other side of that is the, Big pharma owned the drug to help an overdose patients back to life. Double edge sword my friends. Big pharma gets tou hooked on their products, then patient turns to something stronger which is most of the time heron, then they have to be brought vack to life with Narcan .which they owned that product too. Kinda like what Tom Macdonald put in a song, why give you a cure when they make big money for years to treat the cancer why would they give you a one time cure?
Ive heard of Deeebo19 though! Lol wats good ! Go 9ers!!!!!!!! I love Macklemore by the way! You guys should listen to Otherside and Starting over in that order, they both feature his long time friend/producer Ryan lewis and they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not a big makelmore fan but his songs about addiction are fire 🔥. . he has one called otherside I think . I'll link it in This comment. His second verse to. The end of that song. It's the best addiction song I ever heard the writing is unbelievable so relatable so true so real . You have to do a reaction to that one. I love this one too but the one I linked is my favorite. I got addicted to pain pills after a surgery and moved to oxy 80s then when they made it impossible to get high on I switched to heroin with all my friends in high school. It's for sure a epidemic my whole school was addicted to opiates. Parents talk to your kids go through their phones and their rooms. We hid are addiction in plain sight. Our parents would never have suspected we were using heroin and coke daily till one day a super popular well loved kid overdosed and died. I Snoop threw all my kids shit I don't give a shit. You will be shocked at what kids text talk about look into THIER email and what they are watching on RUclips. Kids are so much smarter then we realize as parents. Just stay connected and involved. Ignorance isn't bliss when it COMES to your kids . Addiction is a life long battle I would not wish it on anyone stay Involved as possible with your kids. ruclips.net/video/fvDQy53eldY/видео.html
Macklemore is fire. Otherside is great and the follow up to that called “Starting Over” is just as good. He also has a song called “Kevin” about the drug epidemic.
I love you two, but please don't lump all doctors in this category saying "they just write a prescription. They don't even check..." There are good physicians out there
The good ones stand up against the corruption, which is not many. Unfortunately most of them support crimes against humanity by not saying anything at all. Don't get it twisted they know better I worked in the hospital for 10 years.
a good friend of mine a surgeon had his career destroyed in 21 for prescribing ivermectin. some other doctors are batting for him. but its across the board here if u want drugs just tell em ur sore - but u better be up on your vodic bajs - that is the only thing they care about.
At 13 I was prescribed oxy. I became addicted and finally stopped at 18. I detoxed alone in my bedroom while my poor grandma had to listen to make sure I didn't die. She had to call a ambulance because I had such a high fever and couldn't move....I was in places I didn't know and didn't remember going to. Next to men I didn't know. For months he kept giving me more and never warned me of the dangers. I was very sheltered as a child and didn't know about it. I got into so many other drugs and did pills I didn't know what they were. I watched as people died....watched the casket being lowered of my friends. I tried to sue him but all they cared about is I was a addict. I should have stopped myself etc. Doctors know what they are doing....they will never face the judge. I will never forgive him for what he did to me. I've had a child and I can say with 100% certainty detox was worse.

Cowboys won't go any further!
Great reaction!!
And to my skin thank you my skin

Im so sorry you went through this
It does seem like folks HATE a drug dealer on the streets, but LOVE & PRAISE their doctors.
And good job on the water. Uck😖 i CANNOT do it.
I’m by no means suggesting that Dr’s aren’t complicit in pushing drugs of all sorts but we as individuals need to educate ourselves as well.
My ex girls father (chemist)used to work for a company that gave kickback to a professor 15.000$-50.000$ this was in the late 1970s
This song were never popular? Tell so much truth ,corona ,pharma. A Joe Rogan podcast talk about doctors being drug dealers
That was fire!!! Hugs
this was the macklemore that everone hated on beating kendrick, thinking he was only the thrift shopt rapper. hes way deeper than that
Ive heard of Deeebo19 though! Lol wats good ! Go 9ers!!!!!!!! I love Macklemore by the way! You guys should listen to Otherside and Starting over in that order, they both feature his long time friend/producer Ryan lewis and they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
think he means Devo - great 70s electro pioneers
Heroes he just dropped produced by DJ premier
This song is amazing. Been a fav of mine for years. You should review the new track he just dropped called “Heroes” produced by the legend DJ Premier
I second this, Heroes bumps! Old school, Cypress Hill type vibe!
