- Interview with Christian, a Miami native who is in the throws of addiction and on the streets of Overtown. Christian is an opioid addict, but prior to the interview injects Molly, assumed to be synthetic MDMA. Viewer discretion advised.
That’s the real deal out there, It’s hard!!
I got off the streets of Overtown & I’m still clean today!! 🙏🏼
Great !👍🏼
Praise God its a miracle.
I use to work at my uncles store on NW 14th St and NW 2nd Ave in Overtown. The “towners” used to call it The Dolphin Store
@@sandraalegria3439no don’t praise god, gods the one who gave us addiction issues. Praise to us for battling it getting ourselves out of it, not god.
@@princessdiaz5 I never seen you in overtown
This guy is a born winner who chooses to lose. Cmon man!
Super sad and maddening at the same time ey !!!!!!
If only it were that easy
He's got a great father and he's a POS father. He's a big baby that needs to grow up and be responsible! His kid needs him just like he needs his parents. WTF? I wish you asked him what about getting clean for his son? Tfs ❤
If u have never been there, then don't start it!!!
His poor parents...their twin boys constantly doing drugs and and going in and out of jail. It sounds like they keep giving him and roof over his head and hoping he will change. I hope his parents will live to see the day he does. How heartbreaking to never see your adult kids move ahead and repeating the same destructive pattern over and over and over. 😥
Amen I couldn't imagine so sad
I know exactly what it’s like !! My daughter is an addict. She’s stolen loads of money, pawned my things that I worked hard for. Lied etc. you name it. And she still thinks I believe her pathetic lies !! And gets mad when I tell her she’s full of it. Yes it sucks. It sucks bad. And I 100 percent think that drugs are the heart of evil itself !!!!
@@leanneadams2549I'm going through the same thing with my daughter and you're right it sucks it's been the hardest thing I've ever been through.... right now she's living in my garage because i can't trust her in the house she'll steal everything that's not tied down.... It's slowly killing me I can't take much more
He pretty much said his parents were enabling him 😢
Maybe his parents will see the interview about how he steals from them and tried to murder a person and lined the trunk with plastic to throw the body in to go dump him to the alligators .
I would take the boring life any day over the drug life-
Same. Boring and healthy is a better high to me.
The drug life seems extremely boring to me. Always the same, trying to get money, buy drugs, get high, trying to get money, buy drugs etc. And never a day off.
Well I always wanted to have nine lives. And if I did being a full-blown drug addict would be on the top of my list. 😂 but I only have one. So I keep it super simple and it's definitely not boring. I just ride electric toys and I keep women out of my life and everything else is bliss.
For sure
Wow he’s so good looking wishing recovery for him god bless Christian get clean ok 🙏🏼
Great video, raw, gritty and real!!!
I’ve watched my share of these videos and have come to the realisation drug addicts are wired differently than the average person!
I see a man who has totally fucked up his entirely life. He was well educated, had so much potential, yet he chooses a lifestyle of destruction. Unfortunately his long term addiction has created an alternative reality in which he is the gangster, and should be respected. When in fact it’s the total opposite!
He’s a 42 year old man who steals from others, can’t hold down a job, lives on the streets then goes home to mum and dad for a shower now and then! As I said earlier, we all create our own reality!
I'm sure it wasn't a deliberate choice, like waking up one morning and deciding to fuck up his life. He suffers from heavy substance use disorder, also known as addiction - and as the term implies, it's a disorder which needs treatment.
@@etziowingeler3173
I agree! I get frustrated when people say it’s a choice, because addiction has so many layers and it’s not always about choice! Our personality also plays a big role in addiction! Our personality drives our attitude, attitude influences choices!
Stages 1&2, experimental and recreational drug use to some degree is by choice. To say addiction and dependence is by choice, I can’t agree with that! As you said, know one wakes us and decides to fuckup their lives with drugs!
People who suffer from serious dependence disorder, brain chemistry and cognitive function is severely impaired. Making a rational decision or choice is almost impossible!!
I agree….. I get frustrated when people say drug addiction is by choice. There are also many different layers to substance abuse, choice only plays a small part! Our personality drives our attitude, attitude influences our behaviour which influences choice.
Stage 1&2, experimental and recreational use, to some degree is by choice! Stages 3&4, addiction and dependence, I don’t believe is by choice! As you said, you don’t wake up and say I’m going to fuckup on drugs!
Drug dependency impairs cognitive function which influences the ability to make decision and choices!
@@ronferguson9695 Absolutely, it's a multifacetted, complex disorder to which there are many layers. To add to what you wrote, there are also several known genetic risc factors (GWAS studies), which are associated with a higher probability of developing a substance use disorder. Here comes in the environment. Are these genes expressed, because of violence, emotional or physical abuse, etc. in someone's family, or can this genotype be surpressed by a healthy and loving environment. Sociodemographic variables also have a huge impact here (resources, level of education, et cetera)
Ya but he has to take some accountability in order to get well. Hope he quits those drugs
Good interview, thanks for giving these people a voice and not being judgemental.
This guy's story is a great warning for parents of an addict who can't go against their instinct to help their kid and provide them with money, shelter, support etc. By enabling their son, this guy's parents have ensured that he will remain rooted in his self destructive lifestyle until they cut him loose and allow the resulting consequences to educate him.
That's easier said than done...do you know how hard it is to leave your daughter on the street....i can't do it it breaks my heart and scares the hell out of me that something will happen to her... it's the hardest thing I've ever been through having a daughter addicted to drugs... i can't even let her stay in the house because she steals everything that's not tired down. I let her stay out in the garage at least i know she's safe from being raped or killed out living on the street
@@greg4876not that I liked your story,I'm horrified so my like is acknowledgement I read your post while watching this film post,watching is weird for me,real street experience in Florida as a traveler working out of state,Florida is rough with dope,awful.😢
@@argon62 yep i agree... ..but what dad could leave his daughter out on the street and be able to sleep at night....
@@greg4876my heart goes out to you ❤
I couldn’t leave my son to self destruct either… there comes a point where we as parents need to let go tho 😢
Im so proud i quit meth. Dude my COWORKERS (paramedic), encouraged amphetamine use, and it became a HUGE problem fast.
There's daft people in every profession but it's always sad. You got 18-19 year old kids going to emt and paramedic school taking on that kind of responsibility without truly understanding it, while their heads and hearts are still young and dumb. Overtaking their Adderall to keep up with the long shifts etc, it isn't hard for the lines to blur and be crossed. Private ems doesn't drug test the way public agencies do, only when something is suspected.
My point is I can totally see how. Anyway, don't go back to that shit. It's garbage and there's so much better healthy things out there to use as a coping mechanisms and motivation. Go to meetings, therapy, treatment...whatever you gotta do to stay clean. There are meetings out there specifically for healthcare workers too. Good luck dude and I'm glad you quit.
Great interview 👍I like how honest he is. He needs to want it himself to stay clean The fast life is addicting! Your son needs you. He always going ask where is dad? Post more please from Prescott Valley AZ
Relieved to know he doesn't drive anymore. Very honest interview and I really appreciate that as he doesn't have to be and listening to him I certainly learn a lot about this lifestyle. My feeling is he is reasonably comfortable in his lifestyle right now. As he gets older it will get harder as health problems will kick in but he is the type who will probably go sooner rather than later which in all honesty is better than developing more and more health problems.
The major problem I have is that they are harming others by stealing and worse but as I have mentioned he didn't have to give this interview or admit to any of this.
First time watching I subscribed, especially cause if this guy he has a way … he should have he’s own channel talking about he’s experiences. Great job ✌🏽
Yes he should! Thanks for subscribing!
@@otherside305
Definitely!
Oh yea so he can teach people how to do this 🙄
You can hear kids in the background how flipping disgusting
Physically addicted to drugs sucks. It’s sucks bad. But the mental addiction is just as worst. Feeling like your gonna be less interested in things, feel like life is gonna become boring, feel like your personality is gonna change for the worst. One second at a time
It's not that bad, yeah coming off dope is hard. Physically it sucks and mentally it sucks. But life does get better. I odeed on some fucked up heroin cut with nitazines. Shit dropped me. Lucky to be here. 6 doses of naloxone to bring me back. I'll for days after. I'm done. UKs heroin days are done. It's all bunk or nitazines these days. Some dealers get the cut right others don't. I ain't being nosey guinea pig. Also those nitazines are so toxic. They fuck your liver kidneys heart brain you name it. Blood clots are 5 x more likely. Yeah fuck that shit. I'll take those liquid handcuffs anyday over that shit
His poor poor parents 😢
They must be exhausted and heartbroken 💔 he doesn’t care really addiction makes us very v selfish
This is a very sad one. He’s so handsome and smart. Breaks my heart. I pray he gets clean 💔💔🙏🏼
He's _not_ smart. He doesn't seem to grasp how many wrong choices he's made and is continuing to make. It seems to all be a big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to him.
Those who feel sorry for him bcz he is handsome and need help didn't really listen to this interview I think at all! This guy chose to be a trouble maker all his life.
People should listen to him without viewing him and they'd have a much different opinion. Numerous people base their opinions of a person based on their appearance and that is not anyway to judge the character of someone.
@@CatalinaFOIA indeed!
What's handsome about him
So he is a thief, that puts his parents through hell.
Ridiculous
Even after 25 years off it's still hard to watch someone inject
why
@@grifyn882 Brings back the memories of the whole ritual of it. Your brain never forgets.
@@grifyn882you’ll never ever understand if you gotta ask why !! NEVER and I’m glad you don’t
@@grifyn882because it brings back a lot of memories from when you used drugs... you're never over drugs you just have to take it day by day to stay clean...
@@grifyn882because it brings back the memories of it, which can lead to cravings
Thanks for the 305 natives!

There is a higher percentage of addicts with BS degrees than general population
@@xobellamorexo
God bless you! Nice comment 👍💪
Please try make more interviews.your one of the best .I never miss a video. Watching from Ireland 💚
That's scary 😲😳😲😳 I hope he finds the light an saves his soul 💓❤️ I pray he gets well an finds sobriety prayer.
I got off the streets of overtown 2021 still clean today
Bravo! You should be very proud of yourself. And even though I don't know you, I'm proud of you too. :)
You got kids? Get sober and clean for your KIDS!! The trauma passes through generations just be brave and unselfish and do it for them
very handsome man , hope they get out from it all, loved the interview ❤
My son and xhusband have grandma as an enabler.why would you give an addict large sums of money? She says they are sick and have a disease ,I still won't give them money since I couldn't trust them in my home. My son doesn't call me he only wants to speak to his grandma.
i love your videos , keep em coming
Thank you! More on the way
He sounds like a complete psychopath
Sad…he could have been a very smart, handsome fella.
He still is. He just needs to break this spirit of addiction
Drugs will take everything from you and then it will take even more
What are you on about, if he quit for 10 days hed be doing well. And would be a handsome fella
Cotton fever is a bitch. My back spasms for about and hour, head ache shivering. Jaw locks. Foul. I never used real cotton. I used real micro filters
He is so handsome yet so immature ❤
time for life changing moment and shake hands with the big man
to understand life is a gift
This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen better than Soft white underbelly
SFU is only interested in himself. That's why he has a list of questions and asks something people told him 2 minutes before. This guy is interested in the people he talks to, so he has a natural conversation with them.
Cool dude, cool story, interesting interview ... Funny he doesn't strike me as drug addicts that shots iv, he looks like very stable mentally person that's in alignment with himself and his position in comparison to ppl in many other interviews. Wish them all the best whatever they chose in life ...
Thank you for the support and for wishing Christian well
this man has good begin in life...he could had have a normal happy life, make money, find a great woman (he didn't look bad)...what a waste ....sad
I hated being an addict and would rather die than continue, but I struggled so much with the withdrawals of opiates . Remember everyone isn't the same. I didn't steal , but wasted so many years because I gave up eventually on life and getting clean. Not all bodies react the same, not all people like or think the same.
He is freakin awesome...please find him and make a sequel/ follow up....?
He like in his early 40s and he's doing mdma. I've done the best pills you'd ever get. Those white doves from rarely to mid 90s were the best, and the double Mitsubishi's ❤
@@matthewjdouglas6471Lol The oldskool ;)
@@matthewjdouglas6471wtf are you saying thats cool
@@matthewjdouglas6471they just call it molly but it’s meth
Well, now you know how other people feel when you steal from them.
He needs to release that tourniquet. I’ve seen people lose use of their arms from a tourniquet on for too long. Ugh this hurts my nurse heart
Yep, my arm ached!
Lose arm function for having it on for 2 minutes?
You can have a tourniquet a lot tighter for a lot longer and it's still fine.
I was like him. I think his main issue was like mine. Besides all the shit i was doing. I was mainly addicted to the adrenalin of the game , the chase, the streets . Ive hit many bottoms. One day I just got tired and learned "A design for living" Clean & sober 21 years now
It just sucks - but this little fact is true also. People feel more sorry for people who are good looking !! Isn’t that messed up in itself ??? I’m not saying all but most if your being honest !! 😞
I’m sorry Christian your life is like this right now but there is a way out !!
I hope you sent this footage to the police
That ain't no Molly they be tripping me out with that shit thats straight meth. Molly just sounds not as bad as meth that's why the dopeboys in Florida advertise it as Molly plus black people don't fw meth so they feel better about themselves buying "molly"
Same in Michigan
I thought it was weird to be shooting molly, or be physically dependent on it
Why are there so many addicts now when there wasn't so many in the past. We've become a nation of addicts.
We are in a massive spiritual battle
Thats horrible man..why live that way
Hope he picks up all that litter
He understands the addict's reward hook.
Mdma can be synthesized. And there are many ways to do it. If he means safrole theres many plants to get it from even native plants. So its all the same. All mdma is synthesized.
I hung out with you in bangor maine i think. or your bro...same awesome dude i see here...didnt know you have a twin
I like the jazz trumpet player at 15:06
That was a freight train going by
I am confused when people say he's good look and deserves a better life. I see the samething said when you interview a pretty girl. Why does someone"s looks determine what they deserve is beyond me. All humans deserve better than living this way.
be safe please
The twins ...
Lets hope his brother comes out clean and a changed man and can help chris
Why buddy, why do you live this way? I can picture you with a suit on, carrying your briefcase to court as a lawyer…what a shame, wasting your life this way! 😪💉💉💉💉 🪦⚰️
do the journalists who cover this content have a fascination with drugs?...I've heard of journalists that build up such a fascination that they end up trying and end up addicted ?
I mean how much longer can he go on for where his parents will no longer accept his immature behaviour and be a responsible adult and more importantly be a father to his children
I've been homeless for short periods before. I think one of the keys to survival is to stay off drugs. It's better than living with women.
He thinks it’s bad now - just wait in 5 years he’ll be a long way down… that’s the prob - it’s PROGRESSIVE!! Get out while you can my friend
He has such a Miami accent. So sad that he ended up this way.
This guy said m d m a is made from a tree lmao smh 😑🤦♀️
I looked into this and safrole oil is produced in high quantities from the sassafras trees in Southeast Asia and it’s the main raw ingredient used in the production of ecstasy
it is from a tree n its from south east Asia n the government there has cracked down on it big time about a good decade ago now so hardly any of it would be getting to America, us Aussies haven't seen it even for quite some time n we use to get quite a lot of pure MDMA..
MDMA is synthetic. It was developed by a pharmaceutical company, it’s not from a tree.
Christian states real MDMA is derived from a root in Southeast Asia. I researched that and he is correct- Safrole oil is the main raw ingredient in the production of ecstasy which comes from the Sassafras trees in Southeast Asia.
@@otherside305omg. I thought I knew but was wrong; I learn something new every day. Thanks
Watching these videos makes me wonder about Amendment 3. Its sounds like most of these people started out with weed (the gateway drug) and moved on to others. Anyone who likes amendment 3 take a trip to New York City where they legalized it and you may change your mind. I noticed the teachers unions and other that are benefiting from it are pushing it.
Damn, he's cute 😊- give him some new teeth and that's ist
Molly will have you speaking on 30 different topics in on sentence 🤯
Does this guy have the needle in his mouth. What’s the point of alcohol?
What purpose does this guy fill....he seems to have his game down tho....ya know he's stealing to support that habit.
Possible purposes:
1. His story is important for people to learn from
2. Some people can relate to his story
3. Having lived a life that most people haven’t, if he is able to get clean he can help others who are also in his position
Some people are just lost, that doesn’t mean they don’t have a purpose. If they get back on track they can do great things. It’s never too late.
I'm so glad I quit doing drugs
He didn’t have a reaction to that Molly?
Tolerance
The incorrect drug knowledge spewing out this guys mouth has me climbing the walls. Pharmacology education needs to be taught starting in like 3rd grade and keeps going until they quit school. This would help the issue tons.
Tell us what he said that is incorrect
@otherside305 lol the whole molly shit. Methyldioximethamphetmine is 'Molly' and doesn't have to come from an organic source can be manufactured from many different precursors. Bottom line is without a gas chromatic mass spectrometer you'll never know what your putting in your body and this guy is a shining example. I'm 99% sure he doesn't even know what drugs he's doing
Do you mean Methylenedioxyamphetamine? The term you used doesn’t exist. No one is sure what’s in the “Molly” out here. A source at the UM hospital here told me it could be Eutylone. Christian doesn’t claim to know what it is either. He states that the “Molly” or “Mop” as some call it, is some synthetic concoction that is supposed to replicate the feeling of MDMA. He states real MDMA (which is what the term Molly used to represent) is derived from a root in Southeast Asia. I researched that and he is correct- Safrole oil is the main raw ingredient in the production of ecstasy which comes from the Sassafras trees in Southeast Asia.
But most importantly I guarantee that knowing what this drug truly is will make little difference. People are after the feeling the substance provides them, not the chemical make up of the drug itself.
@@otherside305 2004 cambodia crop dusted saffrol plantations in a push from the EU version of DEA. This lead to RC's exploding on the clear net - mephedrone ( 4mmc meow mkat plant food) was innitial substitute for mdma along with methylone. ( bk-mdma)
Most likely confusion from when methylenedioxypyrovalerone ( mdpv) was sold as md powder , then came 2nd gen A-pvp. ( flakka ) 3rd gen MDPHP ( monkeydust)
People calling everything with a Methylene Dioxy Ring mdma . Addicts mainlining a concoction of pyros and cathinones.
GOOD TIMES
Ppl injecting Molly's now???
Mark 7:21-23 in the Bible states, "For it is from within, out of the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person".
Yet God created man in his own image... I'm always confused by the Bible.
This is self torture.
I shoot ( Molly ) once n dam man it was like shooting coke but the rush lasted heaps heaps longer like about 2 hours rather than 30 minutes wit coke.- not that easy to get heir in Australia especially the pure like i had n dam man it nearly blow my head off, actually after about the 6th shoot that day for some reason every time i pulled the blood back in the syringe big clots of blood were going in the fit ( syringe ) so i would say its really unhealthy to shoot. ( The dealer called it synthetic coke but after talking to a few ppl who bought the same stuff they told me it was molly. 'Wat all i no was the rush was so intense n lasted so long n after a couple hours it went to a mild speedy feeling which im not really into much at all speed. 'well back then when i used anyway. Ya just from that 24 hours of using i fucked all my arms n couldn't even get a vain at the end of the binge. 'couldn't believe it n will never forget the intensity of it. Ya heir in sydney nsw they called it synthetic coke. 'the shit he had looked weak as piss unless he does it every day n has a massive tolerance bc the shit i had took your breath away lol truly !!
People here are shooting “Molly” all day everyday. But it’s definitely not pure mdma. Might not be mdma at all. I hear different things from different people. Some say it’s Flakka or bath salts. Whatever it is, it’s nothing pure. Just a mixture of synthetic chemicals. Great to hear a story from Australia!
Get a job
I'm so happy that you overcome your addiction! Hats off to you 😊
SHOULD BE Mdma.....this is probably a research chemical
😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫💀💀💀💀
Who is his girlfriend?
Sharon.
As I lie in my bed, taking my prescription meds, I realise that when I get old, I want to experience that high.
Haha and how old are you now ? Ps. wats them prescription meds some can be worse than any street drugs my friend. super super hard to get of especially when older n there in the Statas they pump the prescription meds into you guy willy-nilly sadly.
What If police seee this video? Aint he Be handcuffed?
He needs Jesus! He needs to know the moral law the 10 commandments and that thats the law that We will be judged by. He could die tonight and without Jesus he will end up in hell. Repent of his sins and put his faith in Jesus thats his only hope.
Amen. They all do. If people turned to Jesus, those streets would be empty 😇🙏🏼✝️
Hes sexy!
Ohhhhh my God 😮😮 that’s so sad , self hate at it’s best 🥲. He’s so handsome, i hope he gets out of that rut smh , he deserves so well deserve. Do it for your kids, break those generation curse , built a different legacy , for you kids smh .
Yeah, Molly is executive. It's called MDM a people call it Molly people call it all kinds of weird names, but yes, it is ecstasy, and you know what? And aint what it is today. It's all mixed in today. It has fed on it and has a lot of stuff in it. And that's why you guys are older and all adults in because you have no idea what you're shooting and that's not good.
For me, Rap for me that is very impressive.If you're telling me the truth that you guys are waiting for the doctors agree, I'm going a douchelor's degree.That's really impressive to me.Then what bought you there?What point you to the streets?That's just a question.That's the question
MDMA is man made , it don’t come from a tree in Asia , don’t know where he’s got that idea from
Christian states real MDMA is derived from a root in Southeast Asia. I researched that and he is correct- Safrole oil is the main raw ingredient in the production of ecstasy which comes from the Sassafras trees in Southeast Asia.
Dope sick no joke
God they won't believe prison helps but hurts
