This was more accurate, more clear and more empathetic to drug users than any drug psa i have EVER seen made since i was born.
yea cause its about middle aged white women
This was a very good PSA. It proves that the 1950's was not filled with ignorance of what "legitimate drugs" could do to a person.
That makes exploitive profit-seeking big pharma corporations even more guilty.
@@josephnavin4451 there’s been two times in history that oxycodone was hailed as non addictive and “percs” have caused crisis
Yeah, but they were pretty ignorant about it. Still. And everything else.
@@RiverSprite30THEY still are clueless and ignorant. The drug war. Worthless
The Swiss are who you should look to
@RiverSprite30. Show some proof. They were well made and accurate films. But nowadays people laugh at them. That’s why, in America, people are dropping like flies.You’re laughing all the way to your grave.
Rip my sweet Judy Garland. She was utterly failed. They fed her this crap when she was a child then threw her away when she got hooked
Spot on! Fed her Benzedrine during the day, barbiturates at night, chewed her up, spat her out 😢
“Actually there’s no reason why he shouldn’t. A prescription is perfectly legitimate and the doctor who gave it is probably a perfectly legitimate doctor.” So true.
It really does put it out there. Addiction can affect anyone, even 1950s ‘perfect working housewives’
9:50 *You know the pills are killing you, but you don't know how to stop* when the euphoria and relaxing are gone and its just you and the drug and all you can feel your insides rotting away. Its a scary realization that wants you to get sober then you realize you might die from trying to get sober too.
You just explained it to a T it is a illness your to scared to face WD and the reality of your situation to the point you chase it endlessly all day you know it's destroying you physically and relationship wise but you can't stop it's not a choice it's a terrible terrible disease it's compulsive people don't fully get it unless they've been through It luckily I've been able to be sober a little over 3 years from opioids it was hard the hardest thing I've ever done but I wanted so desperately to change it was the best decision i ever made and im never going back
This is a non-drug user's idea of what addiction is like.
@@jpvoodoo5522 Well its pretty accurate then.
Whether 2022 or 1955, addiction is addiction
Absolutely spot on, mate!
I suffered from addiction to adderall. I'm not going to lie. I still have it. But this video really helps me see myself clearly. And she's right, every time I see a pink little oblong shaped dot on the floor, I always think about it, and wonder if that's one of them that I might have dropped a long time ago... It's really sad. Drugs need to be more restricted. Ritalin and adderall has completely ruined an entire generation of children. A lot of people don't even know about it. Everyone I know who was on it either has weight problems, self-esteem issues, or far worse. I started suffering from severe night terrors the second that I quit, and to this day, I still have them.
Doctor shopping in the 50’s, wow! We think we are so unique in this time.
It was probably much easier back then. Before computers, medical records weren’t so easy to access, and information was shared rather slowly.
It was even possible up until the the early 2010's. Then the nationwide database was rolled out. All bets were off then...fentanyl for pain or anxiety and meth for everything else. Oh how far we've came.
This sounds like a Twilight Zone Episode.
Wrong.
You’re a goof, you’re a twilight zone you goof
What a great video, facts and not overly dramatic propaganda like the era usually spit out. Shows us everything around us changes but at its core nothing really changes
Watching this high on 4 phenobarbital pills under the brand Corvalol, a barbiturate trafficked from Ukraine by the Russian mafia
Wow. Margaret was wonderful. Candid and honest. Bless her.
Kudos for the bravery of these woman being honest. Margaret is a strong lady.
I hope she went on to live a really good life.
To be fair, the 50th time I heard the kid go “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy” I would have snapped too. Anyone would.
I scream “SHUT THE FUCK UP LITTLE SHIT” and place him on the gas stove
Please don’t have kids.
She needs to show that boy the BELT. Of course she'll never use it but the threat is always enough.
That is not worth snapping on a child. They don't understand, this is why everyone doesn't deserve to be a parent.
Yes, but it would have been more effective to give the kid the barbiturates. Flintstone Valiums, mother's little helper!
I'm an old thrill seeker.I wish I had those in my medicine cabinet.
I was addicted to Seconal, Meprobamate, Butalbital and Phemobarb for twelve years. The withdrawal makes heroin and every other drug look like a joke.
Jeez. That sounds like a horrible withdrawal.
How old are you? these are old pills?
@pine1780 actually there used to be Seconal, Butalbital, Phenobarbital, Meprobamate and Nembutal. I'm in my mid 30s and started abusing them when I was 19 I manipulated my doctor into giving me Meprobamate and from there I found another guy willing to RX any barb I wanted that was legal. Now there's only Phenobarbital and Butalbital left.
@pine1780 mid 30s. I knew how to talk to doctors. I slept with a PDR next to my bed and studied pharmacology
@@pine1780 they are old pills but some were still used into the 2000s and even now. People think all barbiturates were replaced by benzos & that isn't true. Nembutol is still sometimes prescribed for insomnia. Depends on the situation. They also have hypnotic sedatives like Ambien (Zolpiden) for sleep issues. The withdrawal from benzos are horrible I hear- worse than opioids (natural or synthetic) and barbiturates.
I like how she put the kid outside to leave him home alone but locked the gate.
This film was about 10 years before what The Rolling Stones had dubbed “Mother’s Little Helper” also known as Valium, which is highly effective, but also highly addictive.
But much, much, much, safer. Quaaludes replaced barbs; should go to show how dangerous they are.
Valium are benzodiazepines totally different
I feel bad taking one pill a day, 100 a week seems like a scary prospect. This was good info.
Wow .this is a masterpiece of film.
They banging on about addiction while sat there smoking a cigarette
Like that scene in Trainspotting lmao
Thats society brother
We bang on about drugs while people eat themselves to death at McDs and KFC
@@ronan7695 true
@@ronan7695
That's worse than cigarettes, I would imagine.
I'm no medical professional, nor am I qualified to "give medical advice," but I reckon a smoker, who eats healthly, excersizes regularly, has regular exposure to sunlight, rather than playing X-box, or watching TV/Netflix all day, in a dark room, and cramming fast-food and soda pop into their pie-holes, rather than eating good, nutritious, home-cooked meals (including fruits, veggies, and orange juice or tomato/"V-8 juice" rather than pop), are far worse-off than the aforementioned active, "outdoorsy," healthy-eathing people, who smoke/chew/dip. I've never "conducted an experiment"...I can only go by anecdotal evidence, and speculation, but I would guess that I am correct in this assumption... Maybe not, but I have a gut feeling that I am correct.
This film is way ahead of its time ...discussing coke and heroin openly and identifying the true dangerous drugs as that made by man.... legally.
They should still show this film today just change the word opiate for barbituate ..
Opiates have been instrumental and had near miraculous effects on medicine, including near impossible surgeries being viable, easing very traumatic and life threatening pain on the battlefield. Not to mention barbs being the undisputed best seditive hypnotic for sleep and anxiety. Sure, when taking Opiates and Barbiturates like candy and not following doctors orders you have a likely chance of overdose, but the death by a thousand cuts that marijuana produces, that is glorified by everyone, is probably the most nefarious of them all. But everyone joins the MJ circle jerk to their grave,see how that has aided your life in 20 years, this shit ain’t Hollywood, we are being fed lies.
@@petecastle4791 Percocet and Percodan contain over 50 harmful manmade chemicals that molecularly bond to the opiates...creating poisonous and addictive qualities beyond what most people who are not chemists may know .
Yes pure opioids are not toxic to the organs or tissues and have been used for centuries ..lol
Good luck finding pure opium ...no way unless you live in Asia and smoke in a Den ....or are in the Heroin distribution industry and that is tied to Paedo's and weapons trade .
I will just vape and eat space cookies ...no pain now ...im good bro
Im not trying to convince you to switch to opiates, I personally believe they are they best option for acute pain management and then stopped after 2-4 weeks. Marijuana’s psychoactive properties can induce schezophrenia, psychosis, paranoia, and personality changes that have destroyed the light and vibrancy of so many people’s souls I’ve known, it truelly saddens me, many of my friends. Fortunately, I quit smoking weed after 2 years of the depression, apathy, and paranoia became too much, but I’m not trying to force someone into changing, it’s up to you.
@@petecastle4791 It is a shame opiates, in pure form a Shamanic medicine , that became tainted by and with the hand of man ...in its natural form very effective and safe . Hard to find that pure level without buffers and chems .
You are right about weed being underrated and not that 'safe' ...it has been genome modified and almost weaponized...40% THC levels are 8 times the rate of the 1980's ..high terpenes mean toxicity as THC is bioavailable but Terps are hard to process through renal functions.
Coke and heroin was around before social media boo. Addiction has been around before social media boo. Not ahead of its time at all.
I feel this so deeply as a recovering opiate addict. This campaign showed more understanding and empathy than any of the scare campaigns on TV today
RIP Marilyn Monroe. Poor woman was so addicted to these. My heart breaks.

What an excellent documentary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Misuse anything you will have problems...Alcohol..Chocolate...Burgers..ect....Great Documentary.
Alcohol sure. Chocolate,burgers? That doesn’t change ur brain chemistry and make you DIE!
Her problem is that she sent her kid to a school that spells happy "happi".
And now a word from our sponsor, chesterfield Cigarettes!
Very interesting , keep enriching us with these amazing films up
Sadly, host Paul Coates died at 47, a couple of years after recovering from a massive stroke.
Why are they talking about a benzedrine (speed) addict in the context of barbiturates?
This was an excellent video. Scary.
Perhaps there should've been more safety education before wildly prescribing them. Something the United States has still yet to learn.
I think that’s the gag. They don’t want you to know.
So blamming to the person with addition. She "failed" to get off the meds; she is an addict not a patient. Keeping in mind that these meds were originally given to her by doctors....and now "doctors" blame her and its "her fault". So sad and ridiculous.
Why? People need to take responsibility for their own health.
65 years later... America is still on drugs
I suffer ADHD and insomnia. I still blame the doctors for putting me on drugs from a young age. I would rather just have my ADHD (I was born with) than the insomnia from the drugs as a child.
Even with my history the doctors will prescribe me uppers (dexies) and it's so hard to get sleep without the downers.
I think humans should only be medicated after 23 years old, that way it doesn't ruin or affect the brain development and also so kids don't have to be forced to take meds. Plus, its after 23 or around that age that we start to become level headed.
Try CBD my brothern it does wonders
em D your dose may be to high or you need a psycho stimulant as appose to a amphetamine such as Ritalin.
Dexedrine has a longer action and can disrupt sleep, Ritalin works on different components in the brain and disrupt sleep less.
I take Sandos Ritalin and it works great, I don’t need sleep aids and it works for the day.
@@ricktherrien8235 ..Sorry, but Ritalin is NOT an amphetamine..it's of a different class but has some of the similar characteristics of true amphetamines ( Dexedrine, Desoxyn, Adderall )...actually Adderall was the drug known as "Biphetamine" street name " Black Beauties" back in the 60's to early 80's...you can look up its history of abuse.( The higher dose were shiny solid black capsules & were mainly for obesity). I'm an ex-pharmacist.( due to disability..& I was put on Adderall for the severe fatigue from M.S... they worked a bit too well & then needed Ambien to sleep.🌌)
shell walsh you read my post wrong I said “or you need a psycho stimulant (referring to Ritalin) as appose to an amphetamine” (referring to Dexedrine)
yep that's right! I was prescribed Lorazepam 1mg 1 tablet/day took it one week, next week I stopped and it was horrible, I had a mild depression but I was extremely anxious couldn't drive or do anything that would put even a little bit of stress, any task that required thinking I could not do. However I found that going to the gym made me feel much better, but the anxiety didn't stop until almost 2 weeks later, and I was on it for only 1 week, imagine 1 year like some people are...
I've been on 1mg lorazepam a day for over 2 years for seizures and severe panic attacks that cause carpopedal spasms and take fioricet every four hours when I have headaches and i never have had that problem once
@@ffffffffff8938 Everyone has different tolerance levels. I was prescribed Lorazepam to help me sleep after my best friend killed himself and they didn't work at all. My Dr bumped it from 0.5mg to 5mg over time but I still was anxious as hell. I ended up never taking them.
1mg for a week. Oh poor you. Ha. Talk to me after 25 mg day over 3 years
@@InVinoVeritas540 right, People have no idea the tolerance of addicts.
I ate benzos like candy I had blue on my lips because I chewed them
The days before they figured out drugs we're online. I bought hundreds of pills cheap.
I was up around 20 a day, I liked to add cocaine to
2 weeks that doesn't sound too bad if you're ready for that and like you said find some meaningful labour or go to the gym to relieve stress especially during that period
its unbeliveble they understood it already in the 50s and still today we have a growing and terible epidemic with the new barbiturates which are benzodiazapines. just shoking to see that nothing has changed.
Early retired pharmacist here and benzos DON'T COMPARE to the potent barbiturates. Not even remotely...and I'm not minimalizing how some people become benzo addicts. 85% of the old Barbs are no longer made...Seconal, garbage phenobarbital, and very mild Butalbutal (works wonders for headaches) & Butisol are the only ones left in the U.S...all others are LONG GONE
@@shellwalsh3317 benzodiazepines are worse because they work on the nervous system which makes coming off them much much worse! And they are very hard to get now in the U.K.. crazy thing is no one goes to jail for all the deaths and lives ruined. But a working class kid that wants to sell drugs to people who want to do drugs goes to jail for making himself a bit of money! It’s a crazy world! The fact a kid selling drugs to make money goes to prison longer then a child molester says it all
@@shellwalsh3317 Butisol has been discounted since 2018, I believe around March. Believe me, I’ve called the manufacturer, Meda Pharmaceuticals Inc., several times and they say it’s been discontinued. And if you go on www.drugs.com, it will say that it’s been discontinued.
@@shellwalsh3317 I've never done barbituates but had an addiction to benzodiazepines. I'm sure barbiturates are worse but benzodiazepines are hugely underestimated especially by those on the other side of the desk like doctors, pharmacists, and those who provide them but don't take them. It's not their fault though. They are just doing their job the way they were trained to within their scope of practice. They don't see the day to day effects and decline that those around the user on a daily basis see. If you have never used them yourself it's hard to get the full picture of it. Most don't know how addictive and dangerous they can be. Xanax (alprazolam) addiction in particular is very serious. The thing about benzos is that they are very effective in reducing anxiety for those with anxiety disorders and helping sleep in insomniacs like me. It's a double edged sword.
It all started very innocently with a prescription much like the barbituate stories from the housewives in this vid. Got dose raised after I was taking them everyday for a couple months. Slowly took more and more and was buying them off the streets while taking ones prescribed at the peak. Had seizures trying to get off of them multiple times and so have a few friends. Siezures are no joke and can be very traumatic to witness. I know a few people that lost their lives driving during a blackout from taking too much. I know too many people that died from mixing xanax and alcohol or opioids or both.
I'm not saying that happens to everyone, more so to people with predisposition to addiction like me. That does not mean any aspect should be overlooked. Once you do have a physical dependence it's bad and is very similar to alcohol depenancy and withdrawal. Siezures, hallucinations, sleep deprivation, delusional thoughts, severe depression and so on. It gets bad when you start mixing them with other drugs. When I went to the methadone clinic at the beginning of my recovery, benzodiazepines, xanax in particular, was a huge problem at the methadone clinic. When you take a benzodiazepine or two with methadone it's a sloppy mess. Nodding off every few minutes, not able to have a real conversation and generally being in a stupor.
@@eriklarson4082 I think benzos are used because of how much harder they are to overdose on, but I don't see how the withdrawal effects of benzo addiction can be any less worse than barbiturates.
The world is so messed up,too much suffering,too much evil and too many greedy people.
Yes that’s basis for the Biblical concept of original sin. The fall of man in the Garden led to suffering and evil in the world. But there is redemption.
The doctor being interviewed sounds like he's ON barbiturates
That was very funny
Used to love those Lilly F 40 Seconals...
Odd how a video like this seems ahead of its time
How??? Coke and heroin addiction was around way before RUclips, social media and tik tok was even thought of. No, it’s not ahead of its time at all.
Getting off causes insanity? I would stay on!
I remember a barbiturate in the late 70s that was a white capsule with a blue band in the center. On the street they were called blue erasers or blue bands. I'm trying to recall the name of the drug and I think it was Carbitral or something like that. I caught the tail end of the barb craze from the late 70s through the early 80s when you could still get seconal, nembutal, tuinal and quaaludes and placydils (pickles). Barb addiction is no joke. Withdrawals from barbs is brutal.
Which barbs was most euphoric
Gen Z don’t have good medicine
Blue tracers. Carbrital. This is a concoction of pentobarbital and carbromal (another sedative based on bromine)
@@CJ-fs1zrgen Z has Perc30s lol try it
Unlike opioid withdrawals, barbiturate withdrawals can be fatal.@@PGB19D
Phenobarbital, secobarbital - these are barbiturates. Carbital is a bromide derivative but still a seditive hypnotic.

I'm gonna talk to you about addict's & addiction. while I smoke these cigarettes showing my sophisticated knowledge on the subject
Lol who’s hooked on these in 2019 😏😏😂🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Hey bro, I’m legally prescribed these by my psych from 2017 until October 2018 (200mg nightly). The last script I could fill was old stock from a pharmacy supplier because Bausch Health hasn’t manufactured any in at least 9 months and thus Seconal has been on “short term” back order. Where in God’s green earth are you getting these filled? Even if this is a troll or illicit use I highly doubt that you have acquired any in 2019 because Seconal is exclusively American at this point in history. Not trying to be rude but looking to solve my dilemma. Thanks man
Pete Castle I don’t have no more 😞
Pete Castle I got phenobarbital script for seizure
I’ve been taking Fiorinal or Fioricet (except during pregnancy) since the early ‘80s. I’ve gotten into trouble with benzodiazepines but never butalbital.
Why the segment on Benzedrine when the film is supposedly about barbiturates? It's almost a hallmark of these films to get their facts wrong or present completely incongruent information.
Oddly I was prescribed fioricet for headaches. I liked it. I was a teacher and yes it helped. I abused it with the online pharmacies for a few years. I had an at home overdose. Woke to have vomit in my hair and urine soaked. I stopped cold turkey. I didn't know you could have withdrawals, but I didn't. Never been tempted again.
Seconal, nebutol, phenobarbital.
This is actually pretty hardcore for 55.
I never knew barbiturates where derivatives of urea that’s crazy!!
I had a domino set made of urea long ago.
Urea is a component in fertilizer
Phenil-malonil-ureic acid. Yep!
Watching this high on 4 phenobarbital pills under the brand Corvalol, a barbiturate trafficked from Ukraine by the Russian mafia
What is urea
@@chrisabbott1794 the dominoes I had made of urea where unlike a glassy hard ceramic or something but with a off white of kind of yellow tint to it.
These dominos had a steel stud from the head of a small nail that was fixed in the centre so you could spin the domino.
Don’t know what the reason was for that.

At 25:54, this episode of Confidential File is directed by the late Irvin Kershner, who most recently 1980 blockbuster sci-fi movie sequel, "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" is the greatest sci-fi movie sequel ever made from 20th Century-Fox and Lucasfilm Ltd.
Ive been pronouncing “barbiturates” wrong my entire life. I never even noticed that there’s a second “r” in there. Recently, I realized that I’d done the same thing with the word “turmeric”. I’d been saying “tumeric”, because I never noticed the first “r”. I’m so embarrassed. 😔
That’s very common, I think my health class teacher might have done the same back when we got the drug lesson
benzos are a life sentence
What do you mean?
@Jeff Galaska Getting off benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, etc.) is extremely difficult. People who quit cold turkey or run out early may undergo a life-threatening seizure. Lots of people have posted their experiences with benzos here on RUclips: check it out.
This is about Barbiturates
@Lavita Cinderella For the record, I didn’t have the opportunity as my physician provided almost no information about benzos. I spent three weeks in inpatient detox. If I had KNOWN how to taper, I would have; an opening appeared in a facility near me and I grabbed it. Not the optimal solution, but it did work.
I was popping about 8 blue Valium every day at one point.. and I was able to quit. It took a long, long time to slowly taper off.
10:25 Portraying such an accident is disturbing but I like they way the documentary portrays the possible outcomes of the woman's disease. All that can happen if one loses control over medication.

It was hell. Now I have to take Valium everyday because I screwed up my GAba system so badly.
Do NOT get Seconal. First off, it's literally $1,000+ for 30 tablets, and they're literally death drugs. I was on barbiturates for 12 years and it literally ruined my life.
The reds were my favorite Damn i miss the good old days!!
I'm glad that there's no more barbiturates abuse in this country. But of course, we've moved onto harder things. Hopefully one day we can look back at it like we look back at the bartiturate phase. Benzos (Xanax) can be just as bad unfortunately. We need to help the addicts who suffer from these addictions. Not ignore or give up on the problem. You have to respect Margaret for speaking so candidly about her struggle.
No more barbiturate abuse? Haha your crazy dude, mom gets wrecked on fioricet every other week

Can someone clarify for me? I don’t understand how you could take barbiturates during the day! Wouldn’t you just pass out? Barbiturates are way stronger than benzodiazepines and I woulda thought they would make her too drowsy to work
Is Clomethiazole which is still widely prescribed in Europe an safer alternative to Barbiturates? Some say that its basically the same, but maybe someone knows more about it?
i believe thats what killed keith moon
Almost as deadly as Seconal. A must to avoid, and it's also quite addictive too.
Heartbreaking.
Barbiturates wasn't the real culprit , Alcohol was when mixed, big alcohol company's would rather blame it on Barbiturates as Alcohol , there's more money in alcohol .

$30/week for her (obviously not so good but what was available) for a year would equal about %15.1k today per year total. From my quick research for today's prices "Standard inpatient addiction treatment facilities cost between $14,000 and $27,000 for a 30-day program" or, multiplied by 12 for the year (and yes, I get that some factors would likely influence this figure somewhat) would be ~$168,000 to $324,000...
Per year...
And sure, we have many implementations in place to lessen that burden by some, but say those reduced costs by 90% (which they often do not) that still means we owe 10% of those costs... look at those numbers, divide them by 10, and ask yourself if you could afford that.
I went to Capri Hospital I private rehab in Auckland New Zealand when I was 19, it costed $9,500 per week I was there for 8 weeks luckily my family could afford it
$30 per week was the price of her outpatient treatment, not her inpatient treatment.
Wish I was alive in those times back when doctors gave what you asked for more freely
Scary seeing so many broken dishwashers...

The new barbs are benzos.
Benzos kinda replaces them
Which withdrawal is worse? Barbiturates or benzodiazepines? Which is more deadly overall?
That being said- which is more recreational? Barbiturates or benzos? Seconal (secobarbital, quinalbarbitone) or Xanax (alprazolam)? 😅
Amy way you look at it, you're not sleeping for a month😂

About right. 😭
I recently went 3 days with little to no sleep and thought I was going to lose my mind and smite my family. I felt awful! Ever since, I’ve warned friends and family to *please* not mess with me unless it’s a dire emergency when I’m sleeping or else there really will be someone they need to wake up: the 911 operater. 😅
I somehow dont trust that doctor 100% , he just seems so hesitant about answering the "what are barbiturates?" question.
what a drag it is getting old
I loved Seconal. Last time I got my hands on some red devils was 1998. 100mg's of bliss.
BEST SLEEPING PILL EVER..former disabled pharmacist.
. last Seconal I took was in the 90's like you. BUT...there is 1 or 2 LEGIT sources for Seconal & even liquid Nembutal through "Exit" societies that even come with a test kit to assure purity. (100 Seconal in the rip off U.S. went past $3100!! when they cost under $300 the year before..). You're LUCKY AS HELL to even get 10 .. SAD!! 😭...there's NO REASON why someone with BAD insomnia can't get like a piss ass 12-15/month MAX when other meds don't work or work for all of 2hrs.. ( me on Ambien..monthly Rx)
I know
I bid on a pallet from a pharmacy in the 50's
Got home and sodium secanol compounding powder, amytal delvinal
Secanol is my fav
They do not expire
@@shellwalsh3317 I scored a pallet, content of an old pharmacy
Compounding powder sodium secanol, this pallet had several popular barbs
Tuinal delvinal cyclobarb butisol barbital pento pheno.
Amobarb and dextroamphetamine
My God I love it
Sleeping pills ?
I erased weeks at a time in black out
These drugs do not expire
There was miltown and ephedrine compounds too.
Of all the hunk I usually get, the pallet was the best.
Can I spend some money on you guys??
Ive been looking for these. The Diazepam the doc's give me aint so great. He'll not prescribe me any Seconal or Tuinal et al....

I wanna know who the sponsor was :( Rexall?
Did barbiturates cause hallucinations when taken in massive doses? I remember taking three Lunesta when I couldn’t sleep and it felt like the wall was melting away and I was falling down a black hole.
No short acting barbiturates like Secobarbital make you very relaxed and euphoric Large amounts don't make you see things
No. And Lunesta is not a barbiturate.
Lunesta is like ambien and can cause hallucinations. Z-drugs have a similar pharmacological action to barbiturates but their effects are pretty different.
@@ivankazic1880 lorazepam can though
Withdrawal of barbiturates can cause terrifying hellucinsesns. Ordinary use of Barbiturates typically don't induce hellucinsesns
Nembutals, Seconals and Tuinols, oh my!
How i wish you could still get them
@@khmersar8421 yeah, the new drugs suck. I don't even bother with them anymore.
@@deaddiver3768 I know what you are talking about
Can you All stop saying that this video is ahead of its time as if no one was getting high before RUclips? Coke and heroin addiction were around way before RUclips, social media and tik tok was even thought of. People have discussed these topics for decades. No, it’s not ahead of its time at all.
