Once a NARC always a NARC. Drugs made him a DB, NARCS are DB’s all on their own, to everybody. Mike isn’t a NARC, he’s actually a good guy who made very very bad decisions. A NARC isn’t capable of doing this type of interview. It would mean that they’d have to admit they were wrong. They would never put themselves in a position where they’d even remotely have to do that.
congrats heroine rollercoaster is fun for a while then it gets to the shit show i had the best times smoking h with my homies lol we all fell some in jail we all got super fucked up 2 are still doing it one is clean im doing suboxone but im doing 2mg strips do about 3 some time 2 depends on the day but im trying hard to get of suboxone 2 i said i would never go on subs but if it wasnt for subs i wouldnt have made changes to my life like have a job have money in the bank then i went to do fuckin ketamin wich was stupid 2 lol but it dosent show up on drug test so i liked that i could still get fucked up but that shit is expensive 2 lol i quit ketamin before it got bad
Situation actually comes off really well here. I always thought he was a bit of a buffoon but recovery seems to have treated him well. He’s able to engage with others and listen to the guys perspectives and not just droning on about himself, good on ya Mike!
He's self aware now, and thats all you can ask with age. He was a douche, he recognizes that, and he's making an active effort to be better now. That is growth
they are absolutely unbearable. I used to withdrawal from morphine extended release, and hydromorphone at the same time. Withdrawal from the extended release is worse than heroin because it’s so stuck in your tissue and bones. Due to it releasing soooo slow into your body. Not saying dope withdrawal isn’t bad, at all. It was just so bad I had like dozens of seizures.
Yep I was addicted to smoking Oxycontin for 5 years I had a surgery at 20 got prescribed Oxycontin 40s and then got 80s it was a very tough time in my life 37 now I've been clean since I was 25
Bur seriosly why Smoking? The bioavailability taking IT oral Is Like 90% and even iv isnt much Higher, Smoking IS lese bioavailability, and If you want IT to kick AS fast AS possible snorting IS Like 75-80% bioavailability, Smoking IS realy nasty and realy realy unhealthy. So 4real, why woudt you smoke them? No judgement Just askimg because i cant understand people doing IT.
You really smoked them? I was hooked for about 3 yrs in the early 2000's. Been clean for over 20 yrs and never once did I smoke them. I didn't think that was possible lol
@@anthonyplanzo1082 Same, i Just tried IT once after taking them 2 years. Because i hear that some people smoke them. I never understood why and Tester IT. IT tast Like chemical shit and you can taste the cancer in your lungs. And IT didnt even Hit.
Them pills are literally bootleg heroin. I seen how heroin is made and those opiods are made. And it's cheaper to make opiods and it hits harder than heroin
Was being prescribed 300mg of Morphine at 17- nueroligist got hemmed up and i went to the street next day. 25 years heroin and fentanyl addiction. Ive spent close to 2 million dollars at this point feeding my addiction- crack included. Today- im doung quite a bit better. Much love. PS. I have numerous health issues surfacing from using so long and hard- dont wait like id...death or problems like me are the end game.
I'm blessed for people who are honest! Props to people having balls to admit they are human. I've made so many mistakes which are my responsibility and due to my actions but most people will use your mistakes against you and treat you in human about them..I never hurt anyone, caused anyone any harm etc. I'm just a regular guy making mistakes so I give props to Mike for coming out and being open, especially being in the public eye.
As a fan and addict I can say you did a good job because I never knew what you were going thru and you never gave that user vibe during the show. My point is you never influenced anyone watching the show to take drugs and kept the show and your issues separate from the fans
I still think there's a complete double standard between celebrities like "The Situation" who are heroes for "opening up" about their addictions and normal people who can't find a space to talk about them because "the vibes" are too much. There has to be a change in how addiction and mismedication issues are dealt with in our society.
Yeah, I think they should stop having an addict on every other episode to talk about addiction. Steve-O said on his Novak episode that he didn’t want to become a “sobriety guy” out of fear of becoming a gimmick but that’s exactly what he has become.
I give mike a salute. Being straight up about his addictions. That takes alot especially for anyone in the limelight past or present. Good job speaking the truth. Been there
Mike is so much cooler & such a good person now. And his journey/ turn around with sobriety is truly amazing. I’d of been dead if I had half of that money he was spending on blues. I was a opioid & heroin addict for 12 years of my life, luckily i went to rehab 3 times & got myself cleaned up and have been clean off pain pills or H for about 4-5 years now 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I didn’t. Not a clue. Opiates allow people to live a pretty typical life if they don’t get to the nod. They just need a pill every once in a while. I used to do heroin and I would get high but never close to the nod as I didn’t like it. I just got high and went about my day. Alcohol is different cause you can smell it and you get crazy hangovers and do stupid behaviors. Far stupider shit than opiates.
Mike is the perfect example that people can change no matter how old they are. But you can’t force it. They have to want and do it themself… … “An old dog CAN learn new tricks!!”🐶

He always seemed like a baseline good dude, just played up the dbag role for the show. All those dudes and the girls looked out for eachother. Thats why theyre still together now
@@sevirz13 i just watched some of the jersey shore after seeing this interview and i see him as a good dude now, but when i was young he came across as a dbag
Opiates were my drug of choice I started on temgesic and dihydrocodiene them moved to heroin and I spent just under 10 years of misery because I was terrified of the week of hell that is withdrawal. Been clean since July 1999 and I had to move to another country to stay clean.
Absolutely. We always called them roxies. Every time I heard "perc 30" I'd just be thinking "listen to this clown". Of course because I was obviously so cool!
Roxies were so so lovely. Unfortunately my buddy was shamed into quitting by friends although he'd had half his body crushed in an accident and suffered from pain 15 years later....now hes on street fent 😡
As any person who wants to speak freely but not have others know what you’re actually saying , speaking in code allows others to be under the impression that person isn’t being isolated
went down the same road for a lot of years (same time frame... 2006 - 2018 or so). lot of us didn't make it... nice to hear him speak as a relatable person and have some humility.
If he spent 3k a week on drugs, he was doing about 100-120 blues a week. Which is insane. But not insane if you’re an addict. Surprised he just didn’t switch to heroin at that point.
You can tell Mike is an educated individual by the way he speaks. It is really cool to see him now. If you were to tell me back then that the jersey shore cast and the jackass cast would turn into normal adults I wouldn’t have believed it.
I been clean for a little more then 8 years and I was spending 4-5 grand on percs and at least 1500 on weed a month at my worst . Glad I got off all that a lot of people I know that was on the same shit have moved on the heroin/ fentanyl or have died.
That whole stretch, opioids were everywhere. I wasn’t taking as much as him. But still doing around 8 10mg Norcos a day for years. Didn’t even realize what was happening to my body and dependency until I was without for the first time in over a year.
3:20 so tired of hear people online talk about all the “perk 30’s” they be doing(because they think it’s cool). lol now this guy was a real addict because he knows they’re called Roxy’s
On the west coast we never called them Roxy's they were just called 30s blue's or Ms. We called the bigger ones Roxy's but for a long time those were less available
@stefanharris659 this. From CA and we never call em "roxy" however when I was bad into them one time, I went on a work trip to Louisiana and some dude said "hey you wanna buy roxies" (he could just see it in me) I knew enough about what they called em in the east to reply "hell yeah" 😄
I remember I knew Mike was not only on pills but he and my old friend talked about making a deal years back going into season 2... the guy that was one of my best friends at the time was the cousin of the situation and when his mom committed suicide and jumped off a bridge i remember the situation went out to dinner with them ... I no longer talk to that person and have been sober for years and just got married -- to see the situation sober is stoking .. many people are good people deep down inside it's the drugs that make them the way they are .. Idk how else to describe it but it feels like being reborn (getting sober that is)
I gotta hand it to Mike on this interview..I never watched that show but its relentlessness was unavoidable…He greatly reduced his douchebaggery IMO on how he conducted his answers, his stories were well articulated too…good for him
Mike and his brother Marc are good dudes. Long before Jersey Shore, they'd train (gym) together and were pretty much inseparable. It's incredible to see how Mike has grown as a person. I always liked the dude so i hope he keeps working on himself.
In the depths of my heroin and cocaine addiction me and my best friend at the time would have nights where we would spend 1500-2k. Disgusting, been clean except for weed going on 8 years now
I was hooked on Roxy for around 3 years. Left me with nothing in the end. Luckily I pulled myself out when I hit rock bottom. I love listening to other people who were able to pull themselves out too. It’s awesome.
I was 15 in school. My "friends" stole vicodin and sold em. I thought i was pretty well seasoned. Maybe a couple months later a friend goes "hey you every try oxycotton?". I was one of the only kids with a paying job at the time too so I bought...I think 5 - extended release, pink, 20mg oxycontins. I took one because I was a pro with opiates. Maybe 45 minutes later I thought "man these are weak af" so I chewed up a second one. Maybe 30 minutes after that I ate another half of one and immediately after I started feeling the first one come on. My skin went pale and my eyes were pinned. I was high AF! 50mg almost took me out, with a slight opiate tolerance. I could only imagine an 80 would kill a woman
My buddy moved a ton of roxis here in south Florida. Remember when they were like 8 bucks a piece. I remember buying them at 12, 15; 20, 25… then it went to 30 and I had to get sober . The price for them are still 35 to this day .
@@brookeburner4243Which is insane because it's all fent anyway and you can just buy a stamp bag of fent for 5 bucks that will hit you way harder than the fake 30's.
No one ever asks Mike how he was getting them. It doesn’t make sense to me that someone can access to that many. How is it possible a man that owns a tanning salon can give him 50 every other day?
It's no ones business how he got them..u think someone is stupid enough to ask a question like that? And if he would have told how he got them it's snitching
I was on methadone over a decade, im 7 months off it and STILL have symptoms of withdrawal, Its so hard to beat when you feel so terrible for so long but never going back to that stuff... I hear anxiety meds like benzos is even worse to quit
I knew Situation was exaggerating when he said he did 3 grand a day on drugs ... still a ton. Stoked to see the inspiration with Steve O what a rad combo
I don’t think he was really selling that much drugs a week that’s drug lord status selling 35 pounds of weed and 10 ounces of coke and almost 200 pills a week lol
100k front a week is wild. At that point why even go on Jersey shore? That part of his story seems to be fabricated. He would have already been making millions. So why would making a million in the second season even matter when it comes to his drug use. Who sells 35 lbs of weed a week then picks up 100 Xanax to sell lmaoo
@@Grimeandcrime Yeah the quantity doesn't add up. With the help of a friend taking a 50/50 cut I would run 2 lbs a week but I could get 1 mg Xanax 600-800 at a time and they would be gone in 2 weeks. People would eat them like skittles at parties when we were late teens and early 20's.
Glad The Sitch is good now. Jersey Shore was "the show" back in high school. Very glad I never messed with the pills. Im from Ohio, so they were around, but I never went searching for them bc I saw what it did to my grandparents. Not good stuff.
Opanas were waay better oxymorphone 3x the strength of Roxy Per mg and they were like the old OC s you could take the coating off and one 20 mg pill would be like 90 mgs oxy and all you needed to do was melt a few crystals of Epsom salts and add heat stir and the the gooeyness was gone and and boom you got yourself a clear shot of 20 mgs of oxymorphone but would last at least ten shots worth, I'm thinking about going back to my old clinic
It's far easier to change your diet than deal with legitimate drug withdrawals. Yeah you'll have headaches at first from reducing sugar and caffeine. You'll get over it though. There's no health benefits to that garbage. Soda which I might drink occasionally is good for weight gain, tooth decay, diabetes, fatty liver with a side of increased risk for heart disease and cancer.
That’s nothing. 2 years ago I was penniless, doing doordash to support me habit and I still managed to spend over $1k a week. Never stole, either. I’m afraid if I’d have been rich then I would have certainly not survived. I didn’t want to survive at the time and now I couldn’t be more thankful to still be walking God’s green Earth with a great job in a cool new city.
OxyContin 30mg went from 10 a pill to 30 a pill overnight around this time. I fully believe it and they price increase was a huge factor in me getting sober
Id bet he was but definitely not at the scale he’s claiming. If your selling 30lbs of grass and 10 zips of blow every week to college kids your definitely going to get busted, probably in the first week lol. College kids will rat you out in a heartbeat.
Spending 3k a week either your dealer was ripping you off or the people around him were taking advantage of him. But that’s just a wild fking number no one person can do that much and survive
I loved the days of sniffing 4-6 30s a day. Of course that led to Opana, heroin, script fent and then street fent. I damn near lost everything while somehow keeping a good job the entire time, and keeping it hidden from family and friends. That whole thing lasted a good 10 years. Been off that stuff 4 years now.
The first time I ever took Roxie 30’s a friend of mine flagged me down as I passed a drs office! He had his appointment and his 10 year old autistic non-verbal son with him and he couldn’t bring his boy into his appointment! I babysat in his mini van and we then went to a pharmacy and he gave me 4 pills for the favor! I went home stoned and as I was going into the house 3 unmarked cars pulled up in front of my house and I was arrested for a lick I had hit about a month earlier! Weird life
Dude wasn't pushing 35 lbs of bud, a half pound of coke and 200+ pills a week. Maybe 3 lbs of bud, half an OZ of blow and 200 pills a month. Honestly i could see going thru that many pills or more per week tho being he was also taking them and pills were insanely popular back then but 35 lbs of weed is an insane amount to even keep hidden no matter where your at lol
Yall would be surprised it really ain't alot at all, 35 pounds of bud is very small in reality yall just only know people moving sacks not packs yoru average mf be picking up 100 ps and you would never know
In south jersey we called the yellow ones BUSES and the blues were just 30s or if u had to be sneaky....Bars.... Teachable Tidbit lol : North Jersey and South Jersey are like different states lol our accents are different. ..incomes different.....language different 😊😊😊 burlington county and south of that is what we call south jerz
I used to bang 10 OC 80s back in the day before I switched to heroin. Would think nothing of smoking 2 100 patches and eat the empties . I had a very high tolerance to pain meds and heavily addicted. So glad to have kicked that habit because it led to a 12 year heroin addiction just because it was more affordable. Quit back in 2014. If you grew up as a teenager/20s on the east coast durin the early 2000s you or someone you know was on them and the pain killer scene is what started this whole opioid epidemic.
I am from Austria, to get some stuff like you have be an end stadium cancer patient or have be suffering immeasurable. And you need a special receipt, there is no way you get it like in America.
@@ibobeko4309 It's not like that anymore here. They stopped scripting like that around 2014/15. Now even you have cancer or similar diseases they are afraid to script them which has screwed over pain patients. We had LESS overdoses when those pill mills were going on. I think 12k opiate overdose deaths a year in 2011, up to now where in 2023 it was 113k... Yes, 113,000 people died from an overdose. All because they clamped down on those prescrptions which forced people onto the street supply of fent laced pills.
@@ibobeko4309 same in my country 🇦🇺 I’m 30 and can’t say I know 1 single person thats abused pain killers or opioids. I think this whole opioid epidemic was fueled by money and greed within the pharmaceutical industry, doctors just prescribing pain meds to anyone and everyone 😬

The Jersey trip to Italy, caught right away he was going through the motions like he couldn't get anything over there.
Didn’t he smash his head on the wall lmao or was that Ron
@@CG1224_ heck ya, Mike flipping out and slamming his head one time and was out, got up and started at Ron- crazy but familiar times.
I like the Mike the Situation, I’m glad he turned his life around.
I been clean for a little more then 8 years and I was spending 4-5 grand on percs and at least 1500 on weed a month at my worst . Glad I got off all that a lot of people I know that was on the same shit have moved on the heroin/ fentanyl or have died.
After doing fentanyl for 4-5 years I could eat 10 roxie 30s and still be in pretty bad WD which is insane...but glad those days are way in the past
Should be called the Lets Talk About All The Drugs I Did Podcast
That whole stretch, opioids were everywhere. I wasn’t taking as much as him. But still doing around 8 10mg Norcos a day for years. Didn’t even realize what was happening to my body and dependency until I was without for the first time in over a year.
Those yellow Norcs were 👍
I miss those Watson 387's those boys were 🔥
You guys don't know what real pain killers are until you got a doc giving you 8 mg Dilaudid and 20 mg opanaS...
3:20 so tired of hear people online talk about all the “perk 30’s” they be doing(because they think it’s cool). lol now this guy was a real addict because he knows they’re called Roxy’s
On the west coast we never called them Roxy's they were just called 30s blue's or Ms. We called the bigger ones Roxy's but for a long time those were less available
Blues
@@johncollins211 😂 he's gatekeeping addiction 😂😂😂
@johncollins211 on the east coast (va for me) we called them roxies, roxie meaning ir oxy, perks were the oxy with the acetaminophen
@stefanharris659 this. From CA and we never call em "roxy" however when I was bad into them one time, I went on a work trip to Louisiana and some dude said "hey you wanna buy roxies" (he could just see it in me) I knew enough about what they called em in the east to reply "hell yeah" 😄
I remember I knew Mike was not only on pills but he and my old friend talked about making a deal years back going into season 2... the guy that was one of my best friends at the time was the cousin of the situation and when his mom committed suicide and jumped off a bridge i remember the situation went out to dinner with them ...
I no longer talk to that person and have been sober for years and just got married -- to see the situation sober is stoking .. many people are good people deep down inside it's the drugs that make them the way they are ..
Idk how else to describe it but it feels like being reborn (getting sober that is)
for a guy that gets so triggered when people do drugs around him Steve-O sure does talk about drugs a lot with his guests
I gotta hand it to Mike on this interview..I never watched that show but its relentlessness was unavoidable…He greatly reduced his douchebaggery IMO on how he conducted his answers, his stories were well articulated too…good for him
Mike and his brother Marc are good dudes. Long before Jersey Shore, they'd train (gym) together and were pretty much inseparable. It's incredible to see how Mike has grown as a person. I always liked the dude so i hope he keeps working on himself.
Mike must of been like, oh hell naw! I’m not sitting in this van
In the depths of my heroin and cocaine addiction me and my best friend at the time would have nights where we would spend 1500-2k. Disgusting, been clean except for weed going on 8 years now
I was hooked on Roxy for around 3 years. Left me with nothing in the end. Luckily I pulled myself out when I hit rock bottom. I love listening to other people who were able to pull themselves out too. It’s awesome.
I was 15 in school. My "friends" stole vicodin and sold em. I thought i was pretty well seasoned. Maybe a couple months later a friend goes "hey you every try oxycotton?". I was one of the only kids with a paying job at the time too so I bought...I think 5 - extended release, pink, 20mg oxycontins. I took one because I was a pro with opiates. Maybe 45 minutes later I thought "man these are weak af" so I chewed up a second one. Maybe 30 minutes after that I ate another half of one and immediately after I started feeling the first one come on. My skin went pale and my eyes were pinned. I was high AF! 50mg almost took me out, with a slight opiate tolerance. I could only imagine an 80 would kill a woman
My buddy moved a ton of roxis here in south Florida. Remember when they were like 8 bucks a piece. I remember buying them at 12, 15; 20, 25… then it went to 30 and I had to get sober . The price for them are still 35 to this day .
They are $50 in northeast
@@brookeburner4243Which is insane because it's all fent anyway and you can just buy a stamp bag of fent for 5 bucks that will hit you way harder than the fake 30's.
No one ever asks Mike how he was getting them. It doesn’t make sense to me that someone can access to that many. How is it possible a man that owns a tanning salon can give him 50 every other day?
It's no ones business how he got them..u think someone is stupid enough to ask a question like that? And if he would have told how he got them it's snitching
He’s the real plug. Prolly cooking the books at the tanning salon as well.
Yo anyone wearing a jacket with a kraft dinner badge has my respect mad props bro
I was on methadone over a decade, im 7 months off it and STILL have symptoms of withdrawal, Its so hard to beat when you feel so terrible for so long but never going back to that stuff... I hear anxiety meds like benzos is even worse to quit
I knew Situation was exaggerating when he said he did 3 grand a day on drugs ... still a ton. Stoked to see the inspiration with Steve O what a rad combo
Hey the east coast prices are crazy....its possible .. he couldve been getting ripped off too
I don’t think he was really selling that much drugs a week that’s drug lord status selling 35 pounds of weed and 10 ounces of coke and almost 200 pills a week lol
100k front a week is wild. At that point why even go on Jersey shore? That part of his story seems to be fabricated. He would have already been making millions. So why would making a million in the second season even matter when it comes to his drug use. Who sells 35 lbs of weed a week then picks up 100 Xanax to sell lmaoo
Yeah major poser, and I would know
@@Grimeandcrime Yeah the quantity doesn't add up. With the help of a friend taking a 50/50 cut I would run 2 lbs a week but I could get 1 mg Xanax 600-800 at a time and they would be gone in 2 weeks. People would eat them like skittles at parties when we were late teens and early 20's.
Cuz he told lol😂😂
He said on consignment
Glad The Sitch is good now. Jersey Shore was "the show" back in high school. Very glad I never messed with the pills. Im from Ohio, so they were around, but I never went searching for them bc I saw what it did to my grandparents. Not good stuff.
Those blue Roxy 30s were the best not gonna lie 😂
Fent killed it SMH
Yessir they were
they used to take you to the moon😂😂
Dem blues
Opanas were waay better oxymorphone 3x the strength of Roxy
Per mg and they were like the old OC s you could take the coating off and one 20 mg pill would be like 90 mgs oxy and all you needed to do was melt a few crystals of Epsom salts and add heat stir and the the gooeyness was gone and and boom you got yourself a clear shot of 20 mgs of oxymorphone but would last at least ten shots worth, I'm thinking about going back to my old clinic
“You know they call these Green Monsters?” 💀
I have a food addiction i need to fix and its shocking im close to this but on coke and cookies
Bro you gotta stop this. That's not good if you are that dependent.
You need help bro, find it
It's far easier to change your diet than deal with legitimate drug withdrawals. Yeah you'll have headaches at first from reducing sugar and caffeine. You'll get over it though. There's no health benefits to that garbage. Soda which I might drink occasionally is good for weight gain, tooth decay, diabetes, fatty liver with a side of increased risk for heart disease and cancer.
Instead of blues do you buy mrs fields and chips ahoy?
😂
“Ahhh I’m going on dancing with the starts I’ll just take 4”😂😭
I'm glad for Mike & Steve O.... both are really good guys, you can't fake being real for a long time.
I like this version of Mike, I wish him the best.
That’s nothing. 2 years ago I was penniless, doing doordash to support me habit and I still managed to spend over $1k a week. Never stole, either. I’m afraid if I’d have been rich then I would have certainly not survived. I didn’t want to survive at the time and now I couldn’t be more thankful to still be walking God’s green Earth with a great job in a cool new city.
Glad Mike grew up and became a real man/ husband. He keeps it 💯 now it seems .
OxyContin 30mg went from 10 a pill to 30 a pill overnight around this time. I fully believe it and they price increase was a huge factor in me getting sober
Oxy ruined my life I hurt my knee in Football doctor gave 80mg a day and when they cut everyone cold i was so sick when i came off i was 18.
He was the best part of the show 🔥
Dude was out here offering opanas to Jenni 😂😂😂
Opanas were the lowkey best . A lot of people didn’t know the quality of drug they had
Opanas sucked.. you must've never tried oxycontin because opanas were made because of oxycontin abuse
@@northrndisordr9219I’m prescribed opanas .. well they only have the generic ones now but yes they are the best painkiller available..
He said it was an oxy 80 I think but I would have spit my coffee out if he said opana
Opanas suck... you clearly never tried an oxy 80
If he didn’t have that ridiculous hair/outfit Mike would look like the average Italian used car salesman
He was never a drug dealer.
How do u know
He seems pretty candid, honest and knowledgeable if I'm being real and I don't even like him
Id bet he was but definitely not at the scale he’s claiming. If your selling 30lbs of grass and 10 zips of blow every week to college kids your definitely going to get busted, probably in the first week lol. College kids will rat you out in a heartbeat.
Any drug addict is somewhat of a deal he's not lying
I don't know, seems believable to me. Especially when he said he was selling it on consignment. Every user is a seller.
I laughed when I read that title. That’s fkn INSANE
Spending 3k a week either your dealer was ripping you off or the people around him were taking advantage of him. But that’s just a wild fking number no one person can do that much and survive
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.😂
It’s not hard when the price went up,I did 80s and could spend that in 2 days
I was on 5 Roxy’s a day for a while round the same time as Mike. Clean now and happy to see is also.
When snooky called him the instigation lol
He lies so bad he was never a drug dealer
Battling cocaine addiction right now. Glad sitch made it out hoping I can do the same.
I used did that shit too..how much do you take everyday?
Look up supplements like NAC/L theanine/chamomile tea/lemon balm/melatonin these are all gonna help you during withdrawal. You can do this brother 👍
I pray you made it out
I loved the days of sniffing 4-6 30s a day. Of course that led to Opana, heroin, script fent and then street fent. I damn near lost everything while somehow keeping a good job the entire time, and keeping it hidden from family and friends.
That whole thing lasted a good 10 years. Been off that stuff 4 years now.
thats funny, so many people in the comments yet nobody asked
Sounds familiar 💪🏻 stay sober brother
Good work bro, keep fighting the good fight
Opanas sell for $150 now
Heks got a much better vibe nowadays. He learned from his lessons it seems. I respect that alot. I used to get so amped to watch jersey shore
“Do dancing with the stars” lol
The first time I ever took Roxie 30’s a friend of mine flagged me down as I passed a drs office! He had his appointment and his 10 year old autistic non-verbal son with him and he couldn’t bring his boy into his appointment! I babysat in his mini van and we then went to a pharmacy and he gave me 4 pills for the favor! I went home stoned and as I was going into the house 3 unmarked cars pulled up in front of my house and I was arrested for a lick I had hit about a month earlier! Weird life
Jasně… a fetuju u toho!
Zase se rikala pravda, co…😂😂😂😂😂
Jak se říká pravda, vždycky prej fetuju 😂😂😂
Stará klasika…
Dude wasn't pushing 35 lbs of bud, a half pound of coke and 200+ pills a week. Maybe 3 lbs of bud, half an OZ of blow and 200 pills a month. Honestly i could see going thru that many pills or more per week tho being he was also taking them and pills were insanely popular back then but 35 lbs of weed is an insane amount to even keep hidden no matter where your at lol
Yall would be surprised it really ain't alot at all, 35 pounds of bud is very small in reality yall just only know people moving sacks not packs yoru average mf be picking up 100 ps and you would never know
Yo Steve-o, how do I get a wild ride hat?!! 🧢 that’s fire 🔥🔥🔥
this is a joke right
Anybody who has moved weight when it comes to weed would never call it mArIjUaNa.
hes on an interview for average people
3:36 not that much 😂😂😂
Men lie in 3rds. Sitch maybe 10ths,
Its amazing Steve o has a job talking
I was addicted to snorting fiber glass for 8 years, 5 years sober
Snorting fiber glass??! What the hell does that do??
@@EDubb91 glass like meth
In south jersey we called the yellow ones BUSES and the blues were just 30s or if u had to be sneaky....Bars....
Teachable Tidbit lol : North Jersey and South Jersey are like different states lol our accents are different. ..incomes different.....language different 😊😊😊 burlington county and south of that is what we call south jerz
Having someone try a oxy 80mg that doesn’t take that shit would absolutely obliterate them lol
Them OXY 80s are no joke. Memories w/ those smh.
Someone calls himself “The Situation”? Hahahahahahaha
Don’t believe for a second this guy sold drugs like that.
Mike used to come into the GNC i worked at almost daily . Chill dude
Very difficult for me to believe that the situation was dealing like that.
What ATM can you get a stack from?I've only seen 500$ a day
Bank ATM easy
At the bank. But you gotta up your limit… call em
stevos pauly d hair 🤣
I used to bang 10 OC 80s back in the day before I switched to heroin. Would think nothing of smoking 2 100 patches and eat the empties . I had a very high tolerance to pain meds and heavily addicted. So glad to have kicked that habit because it led to a 12 year heroin addiction just because it was more affordable. Quit back in 2014. If you grew up as a teenager/20s on the east coast durin the early 2000s you or someone you know was on them and the pain killer scene is what started this whole opioid epidemic.
I am from Austria, to get some stuff like you have be an end stadium cancer patient or have be suffering immeasurable. And you need a special receipt, there is no way you get it like in America.
@@ibobeko4309 It's not like that anymore here. They stopped scripting like that around 2014/15. Now even you have cancer or similar diseases they are afraid to script them which has screwed over pain patients. We had LESS overdoses when those pill mills were going on. I think 12k opiate overdose deaths a year in 2011, up to now where in 2023 it was 113k... Yes, 113,000 people died from an overdose. All because they clamped down on those prescrptions which forced people onto the street supply of fent laced pills.
@@ibobeko4309 same in my country 🇦🇺 I’m 30 and can’t say I know 1 single person thats abused pain killers or opioids. I think this whole opioid epidemic was fueled by money and greed within the pharmaceutical industry, doctors just prescribing pain meds to anyone and everyone 😬
I pretty sure every friend group has code words for drugs, or doing something bad.
My friends used video game item names and map locations.
Hahaha I had a buddy who used to tax TF outta him and dude would come back every day
Damn, Drugs,Gym, Drugs,Tan,Drugs,Laundry,more drugs 😂
mike was always my favorite😂 dude was hilarious on the show
He made half the show
