The reason I don't do drugs is because they're a gateway to becoming a reddit user. Not worth the risk.
That's the spirit
also a gateway to gardening, baking, and chemistry. scary shit
@webber yea not nearly as scary
Damn Raegan was really on to something. He foresaw the Reddit invasion.

I grew up surrounded by drug addicts and alcoholics. There was nothing “enlightening” or “fun” about. The only good thing to come out of it was my refusal to touch even a cigarette.
You can live and enjoy life without changing your brain chemistry and giving your organs a Tyson uppercut?
What a fucking loser, amirite
@@user-qv5sm5dw1v Once you're around it like you're actually around it everything changes, I used to drink and smoke and i really wanted to try psychedelics until i watched my brother ruin his entire life in a few years until he commited suicide. Never again, i'll cut all my limbs off before i'll ever drink again or even think of drugs. All of it is terrible, everyone who says otherwise is fucking stupid.
@@user-qv5sm5dw1v That is why I never drank nor touched cigs.
and then they call you a square or a loser because they're so deeply ashamed of how pathetic and empty their lives are that they have to pretend they're better than everyone else because they inject poison into their body. NEVER listen to a drug addict about ANYTHING.
Same n I abused them. Very hard with narcotic scripts but I don’t abuse n actually take less some days n I love feeling naturally happy n better quality friends also quit even looking at Reddit months ago
For every addict there is at least one person who has cried themself to sleep praying for the addict to get better. Addicts are people and I really support social media pages openly sharing tips on how to get clean, motivational content etc.
No such thing. I’ve never found a single person thats ever cared for anyone in my life. No one cries for anyone, but themselves.
@@rottenborn2292 You've never spoken to the friends or family of an addict then, and by making such a universal blanket statement you're not only wrong, you're also stupid
@@rottenborn2292 - it's just another stupid positive affirmation comment, without realizes that some people genuinely don't have anyone, and drugs are probably the only thing keeping them alive, sad to say that some are lost causes, but don't act like homeless people who inject black tar are going to have people crying for them.
@@rottenborn2292 The common denominator is you, so.
Nah, most people I know who has a fucked up life doesn't really have anyone that cares about them.
Never do drugs kids, you don't want to ended up being a top moderator of any of the insane subreddits
Truly, the worst of fates.
Now this is what DARE shouldve been telling people
that's actually great way to keep kids off drugs show them a picture of a Reddit admin and tell them this guy did drugs that will keep them away
STOP It, get some help.
Or any subreddit at that
The /r/dph rabbithole is fucking insane. there was a user whos profile showes basically their entire history of using dph from start to end. they started using it because it was just something they had in their cabinet and was a cheap alternative to LSD (which it isn't, its actually a deliriant), then they gradually started taking more until they were doing 1500mg (*60* regular 25mg Benadryl) a day. Then you can see them start to talk about all the physical issues that the insane dph doses were causing (memory loss/breathing issues/incontinence/seizures/permanent heart issues/vision issues/and probably a lot more) and this all happened over the span of less than 2 years. They talked about bleeding out of their asshole and needing to go to the ICU numerous times
Their last post was about taking 6900mg/6.9 grams (276 regular 25mg pills) of DPH, and it killed them...
A direct quote from their profile is "I took it as a cheap legal alternative to LSD in 2019 and I got hooked. Nothing else makes me feel the way DPH does. I’ve tried other drugs. Even tried LSD, shrooms, MDMA, weed, but nothing makes me feel the way DPH does". They went from taking it because it was a cheap and easy to access drug to taking so much of it that it killed them in less than 2 years...
There's an entire post about it on the subreddit r/deadredditors, it's the 4th most upvoted post on that subreddit
Its honestly one of the most depressing thing I have come across on reddit
i have no idea why anyone would wanna boof dph. It's insanely unpleasant even accidentally taking a LITTLE too much.
DPH is fucking terrifying too, man. I've done it once in my life when I was really spiraling in life and it was genuinely one of the worse experiences of my life. The closest I have ever felt to dying, which is saying a lot considering I was addicted to heroin and homeless for years (clean 7 years now.) Really have no clue how people get addicted to DPH.
@@chrisg5219 The simple answer is "I never knew this could get me high, let's try it."
I tripped off of it once, it is a nightmare. What most people don't tell you is that it makes you delirious. While on your average psychedelic you can typically tell whatever it is you're looking at is because you're high. While on benadryl, everything seems real. When it started hitting me, I went outside to smoke a cigarette with my buddy. I saw a train going by, which wasn't unusual because I lived next to the tracks. I sat there and watched the train go by for a couple minutes, looked over at the chair next to me and saw what I thought was my cat completely smashed into it. I stood up and freaked out, told my buddy about it, and looked back at the train. I yawned and as I opened my eyes I realized there was no train, I wasn't smoking a cigarette at all, my friend wasn't even at my house that night, and my cat was certainly okay inside. I said "fuck that" and took myself to bed. I won't even touch those pills for allergies anymore
There is another similar case, U/FACastello. To my knowledge though he is still alive, he has a subreddit called r/ilovedph. He just gets high on DPH all the time and you can see the mental decline which honestly seems a lot like Alzheimer's. he also draws these really bizarre comics about DPH as well and will write these absolutely rambling delirious posts on his subreddit while tripping on DPH.
I looked up his profile and it's really depressing. He's been talking about how he want to kill himself, how he hates himself for becoming addicted but yet he still couldn't stop.
On his last post before his overdose one redditor commented "boof it" and I hate that it made me laugh so hard
I remember the days I was deep into an opiate addiction, hanged out in a drug discord server from the main drug subreddit most of the time, cuz I prefered to stay physically alone while high.
Man I've never used discord like that before, the people I've met on the server were absolutely insane, littlerally bonkers shooting puddle water with Heroin type of stuff. I also met some really close friends, some people I've shared things with I've never done with anyone else.
Looking back it was a little cloud of imaginative paradise, in the midst of hell.

Bless you, you've come a long way.
after going on to r/lsd to try talk about a bad experience i had and asking if anyone could relate or had advice to give me- i was just ridiculed by terminally online grown men sticking their noses up at me and gushing over how there are zero harmful effects of lsd.
it’s honestly sad how ignorant these people are. i was even told that ‘only bad and dishonest people have bad trips’. thanks drug reddit 👍
That's so stupid. Lsd can cause schizophrenia and psychosis and too many acid heads deny this.
Reddit is a laughable place for total fools. I don't even know why i was registered anymore. Must have been years I made an account. Posted something for a game, Resident Evil 4 Remake and how hard it is on hardest difficulty and was ridiculed for "skill issue" and "game not hard", but in fact only a few percent of the gamers actually managed to accomplish what I asked for. 🤣

My absolute favorite reddit drug addict story is a post on r/atheism where a guy talks about how his brother is devoutly religious and very successful, whereas he is an unemployed atheist drug addict. He lamented that his nephews were being sent to a Catholic school and how he wanted to do something to stop it. The whole situation was summed up very nicely by someone on r/averageredditor: “My brother is a successful man. I am a burned out, drug addicted loser. Reddit, help me raise his kids.”

Look at the war on drugs right now.
Your point about showcasing both the benefits and the drawbacks of different substances is spot-on. I used to be a poly-addict, using stimulants, opioids, booze and dissociatives to cope with the reality of being stuck in a soul-crushing accounting/bookkeeping job for a grey-hat company. I quit both the job and the drugs fairly quickly though, with some mild relapses.
After that, I started smoking weed occasionally and soon enough, advanced onto psychedelics. I used them fairly responsibly and once I felt that I didn't need them, I quit cold turkey.
Acid and mushrooms have definitely helped me a lot with self-image, trauma and motivation issues, but seeing Reddit posts talking about how 16 year olds are obsessive stoners or are experimenting with powerful hallucinogens just because "IT'S HEALTHY FOR U BRO LOL" and "LMAO DUUUUDE YOU'LL BE LITERALLY BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IF YOU TRIP" infuriates and saddens me greatly. In certain situations these substances can absolutely be a fun time and can even bring benefits that greatly outweigh the harm they cause, but glorifying drugs, ANY drugs, is at least idiotic and shortsighted, and at most directly harmful and may lead to permanent side effects.
It doesn't help that the average Reddit druggie thinks he's either an omniscient deity or a pharmacologist, claiming that his drug of choice is a panaceum, and can't accept it in his fried mind that he might not only be wrong, but that he's indirectly causing physiological and mental harm through the misinformation he spreads.
Cannabis is a plant, but so are poppies, coca leaves, datura and poison ivy.
Psychedelics can bring you peace of mind, but so can healthy living, meditation, therapy and prescription antidepressants.
Everyone is different. Users and addicts alike would greatly benefit from if we stopped glorifying AND demonizing drugs and started to truly look at their benefits and side effects objectively, and let people make an educated, unbiased choice based on objective evidence.

Im still happy to see addicts getting free from the shackles of their own demons, especially in some subreddits. The struggle they made to get out of it is, in-fact, very respectable.
@visible radio 📻
18 months sober off opiates and benzos it got so dark the last few years some of these sub Reddit were my lifeline and have the most amazing caring loving people you would ever imagine. People would send clean needles to people and Narcan and the main goal for r/opiates anyway is 100% harm reduction and it is like a strange little family there. Really important to helping people get sober honestly.
@@mattsmokes2505 congratulations brother, just a month sober here but finally after 3 years of morphine addiction I overcame it and got through the hell of withdrawal.
Anyone who lives in New York state reading this - you can get 10 sterile needles/syringes per day from any pharmacy for about $3 if you tell them to put it through the ESAP program. ESAP stands for extended syringe access program and it's an effort by NYS to promote harm reduction.
@@mattsmokes2505 whatever helps u get/stay sober. Should be no judgment. Happy you're here with us still.
Nah, staying getting high and sticking it to big pharma and bigots is more admirable. Remember, John Lennon and Queen became rich while high, so why can’t you?
I've abused DPH many times. it's NOT a psychedelic, it's a deleriant. I finally quit it when I saw shadow figures coming at me then I had a seizure

Former junkie, eternal addict here:
I used to be really big on opioid subreddit, I spent a LOT of time there. Years, seeing new members come, old members leave, and members die.
In the end, I was able to get help, and I wouldn't NOT have been in the position to get help, and if I didn't have other members help, give information and give me stories about their first hand experiences with certain medications to get off it, i probably never would have been able. When I had really bad cravings, there were other members that would get on webcam and stay up and talk with me, to help and get my mind off it all.
I was able to get help mostly because of that subreddit and the amazing people in it. I have no reason to be there now, I'm like... Damn, 3 or 4 years clean now, but I'm eternally greatful for that subreddit. It's just a shame that this subreddit is ON reddit.
yea this video is really sad. If you're on drug reddit's you are statistically, much much safer with your usage than a random person off the street. To post on drug reddits means to subject yourself to the opinions of a community which does nothing but try to raise all users to the level of it's most knowledgeable user. Saying anything wrong will immediately get you corrected and help you be safer.
@@nomorenames5568and that’s actually very common in communities like this, people give reddit shit a lot but when people get together and run a community on there, its so much more organized and ready to help people than any other website ive seen. there’s obviously some really bad subreddits and communities, people that abuse their position and stuff. but if you can filter than shit out it can be a great resource.
im not much of a reddit user so i might be wrong but thats the vibe i got sometimes
Well said!
i was 13 when i first started smoking weed. during the month of my 17th birthday, i had smoked so much that i kept chasing a better high since my tolerance got a lot stronger. so on my birthday, i dropped a gel tab.
i was on the cusp of addiction after that. i wanted to snort, drop, and smoke everything. acid had fucked me up so bad that i was ready to take my own life by using drugs. im almost 18 now, and i go to therapy every two weeks. i take antipsychotics and antidepressants for my bipolar. i still smoke weed but i'm trying to kick my codependency the best i can. these reddit users praising drugs for saving their lives while shaming others for having bad experiences is honestly a slap in the face to those who struggled (not saying me exactly but i know friends who are currently trying to stay off meth). reddit users are stuck in their own world that they refuse to let anyone say anything bad about.
(sorry if this is so long, this just made me feel like telling my own story.)
Glad to hear you are avoiding addiction. Ruins too many lives. You got this.
I'm 21 struggling with multiple addictions, died once a few weeks after my 20th but got saved ❤️ you are never alone
I hope you’re doing better stay strong
You got this bro. You’re not alone. The only way I could kick my dependency was by joining the army. It wasn’t like I joined to intentionally kick the dependency, it’s just a nice side effect. I guess what I’m trying to say is, drastic life style changes are helpful. Like a new job, a pet, a roommate. Something that totally changes your environment might help. Maybe not. Stay self aware, you go this.
Damn i got bipolar too but they only give me antipsychotics why do you get anti depressants dont they tell you it can trigger a manic phase

Looking at r/heroin makes me sad as shit man. I was addicted to heroin for years, drove me to isolation and homelessness. Saw my best friend OD and die. Lost everything. Being 7 years clean looking at that subreddit, I see my past self, and even though those people act like they want to be there; I know first hand they don't. And I also know it's going to take losing everything for a lot of them to realize they don't. It's easy to laugh at how cringy the communities are, but man I really hope they get better.
Exactly how I feel. I was hooked on heroin for two years, and I'll be five years clean in about a month. Having been in the shit, it's just tragic to read some of the things that are said on that subreddit. Credit to you for getting out of it!
@@drewmunny Congrats on reaching close to 5 years clean I have never touched a single drug, but I've heard tons of experiences and stories. It sounds horrible, so I'm glad for you.
yeah, no one this drugged up lives to an advanced age, they either come clean or die. Probably the second one. I feel like the main reason people try these is because they're illegal.
@@Wheagg the main reason people do drugs is not because they're illegal. It's either to escape shitty feelings or like with a lot of people who get addicted to opiates, it's because they got over prescribed by doctors getting paid by pharmaceutical companies. I don't think anyone who does any crime does it because it's illegal that seems so weird of a reason to commit crime.
@@TheTGOAC I mean yeah, but once you're in on, say, weed, which seems almost too harmless to be illegal, thats when you're in. And I feel like people first try it because they're curious _why_ it's illegal.

Weed can be addictive. It was like that for me. It ended up being exactly what my parents told me it would. It was a gateway drug that led me to tons of drugs including a fentanyl addiction. 6 months sober now. I hate the take that weed is harmless because for some people, it can be very damaging.
@@daniel4412still doesn't make it any worse lol
It's only a gateway drugs because you tried it because you were already some sort of mentally ill, even adhd or the such can make you really addicted

Yeah, for SOME people. Not the majority of people. You have to do your own research if you're going to be taking drugs. Js. You could've developed psychosis or something.

I'm a pretty avid pot smoker, but I can't stand "stoner culture" I like smoking a joint to help me wind down after 8 hours of manual labor at work, and maybe have a nice meal. But the amount of idiots I encounter that not only think smoking pot is harmless (that shit coats your lungs in tar just like cigarettes), but think it's some mericle drug that will solve all the world's problems is honestly kinda disturbing. Also stoner humor is cringe.
Same here, It pretty much becomes like smoking cigarettes.
BRO thank you. Some of these stoners that make their whole identity about weed are criiiiiiiiiiiiinge.
marijuana smoke is actually far less harmful than tobacco which is cancerous, and it actually coats the cells in your brain that are typically affected in a negative way from combining drugs. as far as the lungs, its usually the combination of cigarettes and marijuana that can be deadly. smoking fucking anything inflames the lungs, but marijuana is the safest and most commonly smoked drug for this reason. if it wasn't people would be dying from it.
I gotta agree about how stoner humor and lifestyle is cringe but my doctor said my lungs are really healthy and I smoked weed everyday for 10+ years straight. I can run and have no trouble breathing whatsoever. I’m just telling you my experience though. I don’t think smoking weed is really that bad for you physically.
it doesn’t do the exact same shit cigarettes do, there’s a lot more in that, but inhaling anything but air into your lungs is unhealthy regardless of what it is. except an inhaler. some people kind of need those

I'm an addict, alcohol being the substance I just can't kick... I've tried everything from beers to meth and back (except heroin) but alcohol just won't go away... I'm currently at 3 days a week and I keep trying to make it a week but I get to day 5 or 6 and I've fully recovered from the last bender, I'm feeling great and what partners better with a good day than 24 beers right!
Keep it up, make your future bright
I believe in you, you can do it, Buddy.
The worst ones are the ones that think its cool and brag about being an addict. "Yo I'm so fuckin cool and edgy bro. I steal from my family and friends and compulsively lie, i cant even find a vein anymore i blew them all out".
I have been addicted and not addicted to weed, over decades of use now. Being addicted to it sucks, but breaking the addiction is maybe the easiest addiction I've had to break in terms of the physical effects if withdrawal.
It is like every other addiction though, you have to change your mind set and the setting you are in to have any chance of breaking the addiction. It's very psychological
this is where you'll find 16 year old's trying to be edgy

McLovin type shit
To be fair, Reddit itself is like a drug.
All social medias are
They call drugs dope for a reason. People can be addicted to spouting their terrible opinions purely for karma if it releases enough dopamine
Too bad it's one of the bad drugs
It is and I am addicted
@@doctorvladandhisbluejaysd2802 so are youtube, facebook, twitter and other social media if you take too much of it.
Every social media when used too much is like a bad drug. Each with their own downsides.
No single social media site is better than the other.
Reddit is only a bad drug if you take too much of it. And this applies to all other social media like RUclips and Twitter and etc.
I recently posted in a drug subreddit about how hard it is to fight cravings and my concerns about starting to realise I am hitting addict territory. It was taken down. A couple people commented before then also expressing that it's a hard cycle and telling me to stop now because it'll only get harder. I was so disgusted with my post being taken down, the moment it's not glorified they cut you down

@@RagingInsomniac I’m sorry if that’s what I made it sound like. I understand that people don’t choose to be addicted, and I could never hate someone that is. I think people shouldn’t be demonized for doing drugs or being addicted. I just think it’s good for people to be acknowledged for getting clean because they took a long hard road to get free of their addiction. Addiction isn’t an easy thing to experience or to overcome. We should treat people like people. I hope that helps make sense of my original comment and what I meant by it.
A legal market is the only answer, almost nobody dies from pure herion.
There are studies to back this up
Met a poor soul who had been a serious methhead when he was a teenager. Managed to get clean, but he never really recovered. Some drugs don’t just go away once you stop taking them. Poor guy was still slow, very neurotic. You could see where his body had begun to rot due to the meth. All over his face, big ugly scars.
Nobody would hire him, everyone knew what those signs meant. He managed to ruin his entire life in just a few years. I still think about him.
Please never make a mistake that severe. There are people who can and will try their hardest to help you.
Math doesn’t directly “rot” your face, that’s mostly poor hygiene and sometimes people will have a psychotic episode and think they have bugs all over them and scratch themselves
Why would meth make him slow? It’s long term effects are literally the opposite. Ru sure this friend isn’t made up

@@joseph151 meth doesn't rot your brain anymore than Adderall or Vyvanse. Take high ass doses and stay up compulsively redosing for days then yeah you're gonna be overheating with prolonged fevers literally cooking your brain, this can happen with all hard stims not just amphetamines. But not everyone does stims that hard, I did it once in all my days and goddamn was it not a good time. Not to mention people generally become dependant on hard stims if they use them to function, so once they get off their baseline is worse off than before they started. I've done a shit ton of Adderall for years and meth for about a year, they literally feel the same except meth is less tweaky and lasts a little longer. I would never suggest trying hard stims or any drugs this is just my experience.

This is such a great video man
as someone who is really struggling with an emotional addiction to pot, I find it so irresponsible when people go around saying weed doesn't have any negative side effects and that it's non-addictive. Just because I'm not seizing on the floor when I go a day without taking a hit doesn't mean that getting into smoking hasn't had a mostly negative impact on my life. Tried it because everyone said it was great for anxiety, and it was at first, but now all it does is make me 100x more anxious. But I can't stop bc whenever I'm not high, all I can think about is how much I want to be high and forget all my problems. Shit sucks
This used to happen to me when I smoked. I had a lot of depression and anxiety (still do) and I would continuously smoke pot to alleviate all of my issues almost instinctively. It never helped and only made me more worried and paranoid. I took a long 6 month break and now I’m smoking again without worries. If you’re anything like myself, my best advice would be (and I know it’s difficult) to just stop for as long as you can. Give yourself room to work on your mental health and to enjoy life sober. Good luck
i had a similar experience for a long time. at the end of the day, for me at least, it was just my own hyperfixation on my situation and isolation. the best thing i can suggest if you are struggling not to smoke something is to try CBD bud, its at least less psychoactive so you could see if its the THC or just the cycle of dopamine rushes from smoking.
get the indica. sativas aren't necessarily good for anxiety. the only true 'marijuana' is indica, as all hemp products are sativa based, and the marijuana that is sativa doesn't protect the body like indica does and is mostly a head high and can cause mental issues to spring forth. plus your body has an endo-cannabinoid system and depriving it is not good in the long run for the immune system and the body. this is strictly homeopathic and not allopathic treatment. also consuming is the best way for it to affect your body and get all the benefits. smoking weed itself will not cure anything except your need to smoke.
Once you stop you need to find something to replace the urge. Exercise really helps with that. You will really enjoy life more after that
@@acidbath3226 almost all of this is scientifically incorrect, and in practice too. Any smoker will tell you there are indicas that smoke like sativas and sativas that smoke like indicas. This is because the whole 'indica/sativa' thing just has to do with how the plant grows.
Also dude, the endo-cannabinoid system is only 'deprived' of cannabis if you develop CHS or some other serious consumption problem. THC and CBD stay in your system for a very, very long time, there is no scientific or homeopathic reason for you to smoke consistently unless you just feel like it. On top of that man 'marijuana' is not the fucking word for it. It's cannabis, Marijuana is what Anslinger called it when he said it made Mexicans murder people.
It took me about 20 years to see that I needed help - that was about 4 years ago. Destruction of over half of my life due to drugs, meth mainly. You get clean and sober, then find out everything that you knew was basically wrong. Having to learn to be responsible after so long is difficult, but plausible. For those dealing with addiction AND want to get clean - you can do it.
Proud of you. Addiction is hell
It makes me so happy to hear someone change their lives for the better, I hope you’re proud because you did something worth being proud of
Nailed it buddy. I'm in the same boat. We have the benefit of each and everyday we lay down on the pillow sober, that is a Victory. I love my clean time, Difficult, but rewarding
I’m just surprised that almost 250 people liked my comment. Thanks. Just wanted to say that.
Drugs suck, wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self that drugs aren’t cool. That was kind of how I became comfortable with myself though. Always hated who I was and drugs gave me a personality. Well I guess I had one before, just nobody including myself liked that person. Damn this is depressing to write out.
Moral of the story is don’t do drugs kids. They’re fun until they aren’t anymore, and by that time you’re already pretty far gone.
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

I think you failed to recognize that that's a meme.
When I was in the Marines, I was stationed in Camp Pendleton by Oceanside. One day I took a drive with a couple of friends into town just to hang out. After a good day, we decided to go home. On our way home, at a stop light, there was a gentleman on the side walk. Said gentleman did not seem in the right state of mind as he was fighting a tree. He was bobbing and weaving, throwing lefts and rights, only to suddenly have the tables turn and start losing. My man was losing to a tree and took a branch to the face. In short, don't do Crack kids.
Edit: Forgot to mention that he saw us staring at him and then proceeded to run towards us. Thankfully the light turned green and we sped off like illegal immigrants when they see ICE. So second note, never make eye contact with crackheads kids.
ANOTHER EDIT: HOLY CRAP, 1K LIKES?! Thanks for taking time to read my story guys!

I run r/stoner, a lot smaller than r/trees, but the criticisms surrounding the drug subreddits are spot on. Thankfully, r/stoner consist of a bunch of adults pretending to be children for karma, or children being adults to get advice on smoking. It's abysmal, and probably why I'm going to pass on ownership soon.
It's not just Reddit. Potheads in general are extremely zealous in their denial of weed use having any negative consequences. I've seen it destroy the ambitions of many many friends. I've had maybe 2 times where I got stoned and it was enjoyable, but every time since was a failure in trying to recapture that experience and I would feel awful over and over no matter what strain or delivery method I tried. Any normal person would see this as a problem, but not a pothead.
@@jimjamauto I smoke semi-regularly but not as much as I used to. To numb the mind consistently, to stimulate the same receptor over an over, has consequences. I've tried to talk and tell people this, but no one believes me. I'm not proud to be called a stoner or pothead. Because people keep screaming MIRACLE PLANT I NEED IT OMG I GOTTA BE STONED OR whatever. It's just. I'm from old stoner culture. You got high with friends, did an activity and that was that.

Jokes aside good watch , had no idea there was this sort of degeneracy on reddit but at the same time its to be expected.
I spent most of my life as an alcoholic/addict, a solid 12 years of which as a heroin junkie. Never thought I'd experience a better life.
Today I have 21 months clean, and I work for a recovery center. When you're in active addiction, life (and getting better) feels totally worthless. You've got no motivation to get better.

Good for you! While it’s amazing that you’re doing better, don’t beat yourself up for the past. You’re not going back and now you’re going to save some lives. Keep on keeping on!

Your still good are you okay?
I aged out of my drug phase, thankfully. I still am on buprenorphin/naloxon all these years later. I have to admit that people obsessed with drugs - not the addiction itself, but people obsessed with drug “culture” - really annoy me. Like cringeworthy annoyance. This goes double for potheads and triple for Reddit type potheads. It’s all the want to talk about, all they want to do. They complain endlessly about marijuana regulation, even as it is essentially decriminalized, whining about any issue, no matter how small. Complaints that they can’t get high at work or that some people just won’t recognize the medical and material miracle that is marijuana.
It’s just so pedantic and boring. You’re supposed to be impressed that they smoked or ate this strain in this quantity. It’s just so cringe I can’t bear it. They sink to the level of vegans in their sanctimonious preaching, to be honest. Add onto that Reddit, and you’ve got one annoying human being on your hands.
Feel ya buddy. Subs for almost a decade. Then my family recommended Krat. Was hesitant at first but man the constant tired feeling from even 1/64th of a 4mg strip twice a day was driving me insane. So eventually I tried it, not the same but manageable. After trying it for about 3 months as replacement I confronted my Dr about it. Dude was straight and told me all my health screenings looked great and if I use moderation then I should be good.
Bud lemme tell ya, coming off subs was waaaaay more difficult than perks. Something is up, its half life must be way more resilient than "standard types". Even with the K you dont feel the same for almost 2 weeks. But eventually if you schedule and use moderation, you get your mindset back to normal.
Look man you do what you think works best for you. Not recommending, just sharing how it went on my end. Something I have realized is that in modern western society EVERYONE is doing something, good buddies of mine will hop outta the car or truck with a damn beer in hand! Everyone is using something as an escape from the constant bombardment of BS we get nowadays.
Side note, your skin and other excretions will taste like subs... Got that one from an ex. She said I tasted like chemicals, that was when I knew something was up. Some of these scrips are life saving, but the vid author is young, and speaking from inexperience. Even now I got a high level boss, eating 2 8mg strips a day! How that guy functions is beyond me.
End of monologue- Just use moderation man, we cant be ripped all the time or else life itself becomes a flash in the pan.
Subs helped me get off the fentanyl, but I still wanted to do drugs. Now that I've switched to morphine maintenance, I'm doing a lot better and actually want to be sober, and have control over it now. Unfortunately this is only offered in certain areas of Canada right now, but I really hope they notice the differences from suboxone and start to widen the programs. We need to save these people, they are slaves to their addiction. Of course they need to want it for themselves, but they also need to have a light at the end of the tunnel, which can be provided for them.
Are they giving buprenophin in the US for withdraw too? And if yes do you have to for the medicine
Weed is lame, prefer X
@@insurgentlowcash7564 I’ve been on suboxone for… 13 years? Something like that. To be honest, I barely notice them. I get tablets, break them in half, under the tongue after I brush my teeth and leave for work. I don’t notice any symptoms from them.
I definitely would go into withdrawal were I to stop cold, though. I’m very careful about taking it as directed. I’ve only gone into withdrawal once, when my wife accidentally knocked my pill container into the sink and ten or so dissolved. Doctors don’t just let you fill early or anything, and I don’t know anyone from the street, even if I was willing to do that. Those 4 days were not fun.

Drug subreddits are an indispensable tool for novice drug users to learn how to safely do their DOC's while also providing good networks for support and finding a community of likeminded individuals. These subreddits have saved thousands of people from overdosing or mixing the wrong substances. They can sometimes be a little cringe or circle-jerky but the amount of societal help they provide relative to the harm they create is heavily skewed in favor of their existence. I love these communities and I'm thankful that they have been able to help so many people.

I just today got into an argument with someone on reddit about drug abuse. The topic at hand was legalization. I have no problem with it personally. But one guy was arguing that legalization would clear up all problems surrounding drugs. He stated that with legalized drugs, they would be safer and in smaller quantities so people wouldn't overdose or abuse them.
First part has some legitimacy, but the second disregards addicts lack of self control, or intent to self harm.
He replied drug users aren't addicts and just want a thrill. And that was the end of that discussion.
I've been on PCM for a few years now and it's somehow not been banned.
While the cartels keep making that bank🥱

@@chandranapier2259 I agree but I believe reddit is much worse. The chances of coming across alternate views and opinions is much higher on other social medias. Reddit is designed in a way that allows people stay in their own bubble if they choose to do so without ever leaving it.

Almost always deleted a few days after. I was the kind who wanted updates and checked. Reddit genuinely is a site that is karma farmed into a parody of itself. Most of it is fake from the user side (popular subs, which have by far the most posting and people) and the rest is one opinion being pushed by the others. Reddit needs to change or go, and it’s not changing.
@@chandranapier2259 agreed. I remember my days of using Reddit as well, it’s pitfalls were much more obvious to me then the other social medias. You can refresh he Facebook Home Screen and be greeted by plethora of new stories while the Reddit Home Screen that shows “new” content is just recycled garbage from the top subreddits. As you said, it’s a website dedicated to farming karma. This causes the issue of circle jerk subs. Idk if by fake you mean bots or people saying generic opinions to fit the status quo of the sub but it’s all the same anyway. I think the issue of subs pushing one opinion extremely heavily is just a Reddit plague on EVERY sub that will never cease.
I think that while every site has those issues, certain sites have a specific issue that is more common. Like on reddit you see more circlejerking than other sites and on twitter you see more of that old tumblr stereotype and of course cancel culture, on facebook you see more psycho conspiracies, and on youtube it just depends on the channel

Man am I glad you made a video about this. One of my closest friends died in his sleep two years ago now from a DPH overdose. It shattered my heart and seeing the perpetual dismissal of the very real and harrowing consequences of succumbing to these substances boils my blood.
I struggle with Weed addiction myself and for the longest time I was gaslit into believing that it wasn't possible. I thought there was something wrong with me, now that I recognize the very real psychological effects weed can have on you long term, it has helped me tremendously and I don't smoke on the daily anymore. It was hard, and I did a lot of things that I regret just to get high, but I'm better off now that I have the self awareness to stop myself instead of relying on the "it's just weed bro" mentality.
Your doing great dude,Im sorry to hear about your friend, try steer clear of daily use not just for yourself but in memory of your friend and for your loved ones, do not listen to people who have the "its just a plant bro" mentality, they just use that to cope with their addiction, keep on doing good
I think the drug war's a tragedy, adults should be allowed to put whatever they want into their bodies, and weed is probably - on balance - way less destructive than alcohol or tobacco, etc. But the idea that weed is harmless and non-addictive is insidious. And it's only going to get worse as capital accumulates in the cannabis industry and R&D departments start getting serious funding. I've been struggling with a weed dependence off & on for 20 years now. It's turned out to be way harder to quit than cigarettes ever were. And a big reason for that is because there are virtually no treatment protocols for cannabis addiction other than "just quit, bro."
do you know the dosage he took?
4chans drug community was very different for me. Very friendly in rude humor kind of way, and very supportive. I talked about my drug use and wasn’t intrested in doing a drug. Anyways they praised me for not doing more after voicing my dissatisfaction of doing more

The people there atleast TALK like a real life person does to an EXTENT.
420chan ;p
When I was working nightshift I was taking DPH to help me sleep in the day. After awhile I built a tolerance to it, and I needed to take more. At some point it got to the point I was having heart palpitations when I was awake and it felt like I was free falling when I was about to sleep. 3 days with no sleep later I cut that shit out and got a different job. That stuff is terrifying
I hope you're better now. Iron within!

Tom Myers "bong hit transplant" joke is one of the greatest jokes ever told
I had a friend who was addicted to heroin and going homeless at the time, to this day I’m thankful that he never turned to using Reddit.
I am lucky that I'm not very addiction prone, cause I had a phase in college where I tried almost everything I could get my hands on, but nothing stuck. I got really into psychedelics at one point, but the community around them (like those subreddits) was too insufferable. You had to really know some people to get access to the good stuff and I just didn't feel like playing buddy buddy with dealers and their smelly addict friends. I just wanted to do shrooms and listen to music
coolest drug user ever
I only ever tried weed and even as someone who is addiction prone, I can say that all was measured and reasonable until I finally smoked a joint with a dealer. It’s once he offered me 25g to drive him to fetch his merchandise, that I got hooked from just the quantity of having 25g coming in every couple weeks lmao. Got problematic once I moved elsewhere and was struggling to rack in more than 5g a week, just from financial strain. That’s when I decided to chill a little jk still adicted just on a budget.
@@blanco7726 cool story bro
@@300zxss book worthy?
I’m the same way rn. Sophomore in college and I try anything anyone offers me (as long as it doesn’t make me nauseous/dizzy cause I won’t fuck with that AT ALL) and thankfully nothing has stuck. I’ve so far tried weed, nicotine, smoking meth, snorting Xanax, and snorting hydrocodine but i have felt the urge to any of those but I do smoke weed regularly
i used to participate in drug reddit as a teen, i was never an addict per se but there was a period of time where i experimented with a lot of things at parties in high school and i just wanted to learn about substances to keep me and my friends as safe as possible. but there was a point where most of what i was seeing was hardcore addicts and it just made me too sad to keep participating in because there was nothing i could do to help them
“How a 16 year old smoking weed is not front page news” 😂😂😂 bro have you ever been a teenager like even if you didn’t smoke you have to know people who did
As someone who used to do DPH I can firmly say, don’t. There is nothing pleasant about it, it’s a living nightmare that you can’t comprehend isn’t real. It does have some pretty funny memes though
dPH is also shown (just using it for allergies) to give people dementia and brain lesions, and a whole host of other problems due to its neurotoxicity.
So imagine what it’ll do to you with the doses you need to get high.
@@dylanroemmele906 Exactly, I have the worst short term memory and it gets worse every year even though I stopped years ago
If it’s so bad why did you do it more then once?
@@crispypoliticians6180 Im sorry you have to go through that, I hope and pray that you may get stronger.
@@dos1763 you clearly don't understand addiction if you typed this comment
I had a girlfriend who smoked weed once. I first tought it was only during parties, like I only drink at parties. then, I realized that she had been smoking like a junkie for mmonths when discussed about meeting one day, and she said she couldn't afford a bus because she spent her money on weed. She always said she wasn't addicted. These people bro
Damn, weed was more important to her than seeing you
@@bloopy6166 yeah, we broke up because I was "too kind" well you see what kind of girl she was

r/opiates and r/cripplingalcoholism are without a doubt two of the saddest places I've been online. It's like hell. Great video
Nice Video!
Found out my mom got kinda hooked on benadryl a few years back. I always wondered why she thought there were giant spiders in her room. Thankfully she also thought that benadryl was not so good and stopped a few years ago.
Having been prescribed benzodiazepines for some years, I can say that the benzo subreddit is an embarrassing cesspool of losers who think getting high on highly addictive drugs is some kind of trophy.
And the abuse of the medication makes it harder for those with legitimate need for the medicine.
For eg. some people post their stashes (they lie to psychiatrists about anxiety to use the benzos for recreational use, their words not mine). One even went to the vet to get Xanax for his dog that gets "frightened" during thunderstorms and he just pops them like it's all good.
Many listen to garbage music which I call "Flex Rap" ya know, the rappers who brag about drugs, money and guns.
Most of the sub are clueless, followers. Following lost people into the abyss. Pretty sad really.
why the hell are doctors prescribing benzos long term? how is that supposed to be a solution for anything?
Then there's r/benzorecovery where half the users there got prescribed daily benzos from their doctor without being told about the withdrawals, only for the doctor to just taper them off way too quickly or straight up stop prescribing it. Benzo withdrawal kills, it's worse than getting off heroin.
@@McFwoupson benzorecovery is legit! Heaps of helpful information and wisdom.
And yeah, doctors should mention side effects and abuse potential but at the same time, the person taking the medication should do a bit of research too. But it should fall on the Dr, they're the professionals at the end of the day.
Yeah they're dangerous drugs especially when the doctor tries to speedrun a taper over 3 months when the patient has been taking 6mg of Alprazolam and 20mg of Diazepam a day for 9 years straight lol.
Most doctors need to read the Ashton Manual. It should be mandatory in med school. Even though benzos are only recommended for short term use, some people really do need them for longer periods. It's a fine line
I suffer from extreme panic disorder w/agoraphobia and my life was going down the drain, very quickly. I didn't leave my house for a month and a half (I had friends drop everything I could possibly need) and my mental state was fucked. So my psych and GP maintained I should take them longer to improve my social life and life in general before I left the planet for good. ❤️
@@michaelhutchings8599 ye I used to be active on there. I'm a year and a half off of a bad benzo habit. The doctors in rehab put me on phenobarbital and depakote and the depakote almost killed me by making my ammonia levels extremely high, put me in a coma for several days. It was wild, apparently I had to be held down by a bunch of cops because I was attacking nurses and stuff. Didnt remember any of that. The last thing I remember is talking to my doctor. He asked me if I had taken something and I told him no, left his office and woke up several days later in the hospital. They didn't want to let me back into rehab because they thought I took a crazy amount of lsd or something, it was really annoying.
It really is bad. Fortunately, there is a somewhat large group of people there who are genuine. It is really sad that you've got to sift through the shit to find it.
Part of me has just accepted that I'm an opioid addict, although I have been clean for about a month I feel I'll relapse on fentanyl again, please don't ever use this drug. Many people say it's a sickness that lives inside you till you die
Don't do it bro, I've been through this and did it. No relapse has ever been worth it.
As someone who dealt with meth addiction, r/meth actually gave me access to a few people who could really help me get off that stuff and it really helped me in the long run. That place is dark af tho
I'm an addict in therapy and I realized moving away from the terms good or bad has been beneficial to me and my decision
making
bro I watched till the end, how come you didn't mention the reddit community r/leaves it helped me like Jesus helps addicts.
