It’s true that hurt people often hurt people but the cycle can be broken. My heart breaks for all these lives ruined. Prayers for Justin as I’m sure they will try to silence him. I think we have all seen too much at this point. We have seen behind the curtain of the pure evil going on and we are done supporting it.
Justin became a dad and realized just how young he was when he was taken advantage of by all the people who claimed to love him. Becoming a parent really changes your perspective on age.
When I say Candace telling Justin to “keep going, the world is behind you, Christ is King” gooooosebumps, chills, all over. Wowww. Powerful stuff, so much more than what meets the eye happening now. Christ is King.
Justin just needs to avoid the frauds like (IMO) the church he was in and Lou Taylor (diddy and Britney’s manager) and anyone whose IMO a charlatan - Christ is in his heart and he needs to realize the music industry preys upon it!
Scooter , Patty ..Justin’s mom and Usher are GARBAGE!! Insider here ..THEY HUNTED on the internet to find a mom willing to sell their kid to the industry ..THEY FOUND ONE! It’s why PATTY signed over her rights to Justin and the EXHILED HER to HAWAII with MILLIONS and an agreement and would not interfere . It’s why she never spoke up when just got in trouble. Then SCOOTER AND USHER worked Justin like a dog with multiple world tours and no time off..remember when Justin performed so sick on stage he was throwing up ..he had THE FLU. Then they pumped him out to Hollywood putting Justin in way to adult situations . When people started complaining about Justin having no friends his own age or relationships ..they set him up with Selena and a few guys own age to look like he has friends . Next look at Ryan secret digi tour and what happen to those kids on that tour …parents who signed over their kids ..who ended up at adult partys to the Hollywood elite while their parents stayed home with the money .
Poor boy...he was still a child, full of life, full of dreams, than he looked like broken inside, compleatly lost, affected... it's disturbing. His parents are not better than the entire bunch of pervs jumping around D... It's shocking !
Candace you have been blessed with an incredible mind. I’m a retired engineer and you fascinate me with the detail and the thoroughness you apply to all of your topics. I routinely watch you to get the real news regarding current events and issues. The Bible talks about how in our youth we see deemly, but as we age we begin to see more clearly. I’m experiencing such a renaissance in my life. Some people call the wisdom. I’m sure I won’t be around to see you mature (age), but I’m willing to bet that you are going to be one powerful woman. Don’t stop, remembering the passage that says “let us not grow weary in well doing.”
I sure wish Candace could see your thoughtful and sweet message. But many of us have. You're a special man!! Peace, love, and big BLESSINGS to you today and always 🥰
I usually don’t comment on RUclips but I was actually in prayer not even a couple days ago listening to worship music and a song came on with one of my favorite christian worship artist Chandler….Justin just so happened to be singing with him. I immediately went into prayer for Justin I don’t normally pray for “celebrities” like that. I actually forgot I prayed until I clicked on the video and started reading the comments. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the prayer and said this is why I needed you to pray that day!
Candace, can you please interview Rymir. He is the man who believes he may be the son of Jay-Z says the rapper has been avoiding taking a paternity test for the past 14 years because his mom was under age at the time. He is being blocked by the courts thanks to Jaz Z' influence. It’s really cruel.
Why does Candace force this on us? 😩 why does she think we care even a little bit about these singers and there BS. Candace my black queen please, there’s more interesting shit going on
Usually, I stay away from those kinds of claims. Too many lies like that floating around but, I believe there's something to that one and the guy really does resemble jay z.
They also changed homosexual to “gay” when gay originally meant cheerful/happy… I feel like the change in terminology is making people feel more comfortable to be in sin… pray for those who are deceived… This is spiritual. God bless you and your family, Candace 🫶🏽
Candace - I was put on a benzo (didn’t know it was a benzo) as a muscle relaxant due to back pain. After a month or so I threw the medication out as my back was fine but ended up in emergency 3 days later thinking I was having a heart attack! It was the withdrawal. It took me about 6 months to slowly get off the medication, decreasing the those every week in drops, 5x days until it was over. There was no street drug that could help me with this! This is what Peterson ha and I wish they could have spread awareness !!!
Candace I'm an addict in recovery (5 years in 2 weeks) was a psych and detox RN , now I'm in my masters for addiction therapy- the state of colorado doesn't want to use "addict" or even "substance use disorder" as it's "stigmatizing" and relabel it "compulsive patterns syndrome" ..... The only way you get clean is by KNOWING you are an addict, and admitting it. Benzo dependency is the same thing as addiction. And it is very quick too, and Peterson as smart as he is KNOWS this too. The stats on benzo's have been out for decades. There's no shame, he should own it. Empower others to get clean too. "Look at the stupid things I said, this is why you should get clean" Could be an inspiring message and sadly he's not doing the 1 thing you need to do in recovery: have radical accountability
They want to not shoot for abstinence but just "using 3 times a week or something" .... And Benzo's are WAY harder to get prescribed since 2013's-2014's? So there is a very high chance someone would turn to a street drug (or buying fake pressed bars laced with fentanyl and overdosing) because the withdrawal makes you incredibly anxious ... and now you already know how to "fix it" with a med. 🎉
Just like the ONLY way you get saved is admitting you are a sinner in need of a Savior. We must 1st admit we have a problem b4 we seek THE CURE‼️ Jesus Christ I too have been addicted to medication after 7 knee surgeries on my left knee while trying to continue playing basketball 🏀. I finally had a replacement 18 yrs ago at 30. I was super young to ruin my body & joints, but I knew way more than the Dr's did & nobody could tell me nuttin'‼️
Congratulations sir. It takes a lot of willpower to recover from addiction 👏 I'm also currently trying to abstain from pron, stayed off for roughly 2 years and half, kinda dipped my toes back recently cause hard times irl, but I know it's wrong, so I'm planning on picking my streak back up and hopefully quitting for good this time! I wish peace and luck to you and any others who are recovering from any kind of addiction 🙏
But did a trusted doctor tell you that coffee was going to heal you, take away your severe emotional trauma and you would get to have your life back? Your only supporting an evil stance of lacking empathy for those completely unknowingly becoming victims of the medical establishment. I know no one that becomes suicidal or loses their life from coffee.
What's weird about this, is how Peterson always advocated for being specific, using the right words and not hiding in ,,half meanings". It's astonishing how he doesn't seem to realize he does the opposite of what he teaches, in many ways. I can only assume it's God teaching him humility by allowing him to fall.
The difference is, an addict becomes addicted by their own volition, a person who becomes dependent, is someone who only used those drugs because they trusted the medical system, they would have never used those drugs without their Doctors recommendation.
это бред. перестаньте придумывать новые описания, как оправдание. зависимость - она и в африке зависимость. как красное - это красное, а зеленое - зеленое. хоть как красное назови - пурпурным, бордовым, оно останется красным.
@@Frion-lg9rmit is not nonsense. If you are using a med under the care of a physician, and you have no idea the med causes depedence, AND its a psychiatric med, it cannot be addiction. It is, by the medical literature, dependence. Like diabetics are dependent on insulin. Addiction requires the powerful urge to do something, without the need to do it. Anything can be addictive, but you have to have an urge to do it, and it cannot be medicine. There are exceptions, like oxycontin. But its very clear.
I can agree with this statement. Personally, I feel that addiction and dependency are the night and day of each other. There are similar traits but different motives!
I was just about to jump on and say the same thing as someone who was a heroin & meth addict (who has grown up with a mentally ill parent on psych meds) who has also dabbled in valium and xanax half my life (but never addicted to them as i wasnt taking it daily long term). Also I dont fault candice for this but benzo’s arnt the same thing as opiates & pain killers, opiate’s & pain killers lead to heroin, benzo’s lead to a very different hard time getting off, but I mean she is right in that dr’s will prescribe both benzos and opiates which benzo’s can lead dependance & the opiates to heroin addiction, but he clearly wasnt on opiates. It can be a hard subject if you havnt experienced both
@@tiffanykelly2967…how are they night and day? if you’re addicted to something then by definition it means you’re chemically and physically dependent on it.. means the same thing.. they’re not opposites when it’s the exact same concept 🫥… prayers
I want scientists to study this phenomenon why does every woman reach peak comedy during pregnancy/only get funnier the more kids they have. I could be wrong but it feels like no woman in history has ever had a child and been less funny afterward.
Candace, if you take medicine prescribed by a licensed professional, and you use as directed, as prescribed, you are not an addict. An addict is someone who ABUSES legal or illegal drugs. By taking more than prescribed or taking something illegal. Most people who go on psych meds are NEVER informed about the 6+ months hellish withdrawals when you decide to come off of them. That is not his fault. I have two relatives who've gone through this. It's not like Jordan abused the medicine. He was having horrible side effects / withdrawal symptoms, not fueling an addiction.
You're 100% incorrect. And that's the stupidest comment I've ever read. As someone that's in the healthcare field I seen many patients who are addicted to their prescriptions and when you try to cut them off from that prescription they fire you as an MD and start doctor shopping. Please don't act like just because you have a prescription that means you're not or can't be an addict. Those are literally the most addicted ones hiding behind the guise of a prescription. So much so that they'll throw themselves down the stairs to go to the ER and get that prescription once we stopped prescribing. You are literally brain dead when speaking on the opioid pandemic. Now hush
I watched the debate with yourself & Mikhaila, it’s such a cop out using the word “dependant” I’m an ex addict, was prescribed strong pain meds after the birth of my Son. Was prescribed them for months and months. When my GP stopped my prescription I took to the streets to buy them. After 6 long years of struggle and pain I finally walked away from them. I thought we were supposed to admit we were addicts before we could change. I can’t believe it’s now being taught. Watch a whole lot of addicts jump to use this term!
No, there is a difference between a chemical dependence and mere psychological addiction. No addict is the same. Many many people are dependent on psych medication or have developed dependency through health issues and surgeries- we can’t condemn all these people as mere „addicts“
@@audreygribble6033yeah we all know the difference. The difference is the suburbs and the ghetto, the rich and the poor. Miss me with the bs because I'm old enough to remember witnessing when junkies and the crackhead epidemic suddenly became the "opioid crisis". Its similar to when Germany did ethnic cleansing it was a holocaust, but now it's "self-defense".
Also one doesn’t move from benzodiazepines to Heroin. To me that made Candace sound like she doesn’t know much about this topic. People move from opiates such as Percocet to heroin. Benzos aren’t the same as opiates.
Candace, please talk about the 500K missing children in the US in the past year. No one talks about the children and child trafficking :( #wherearethechildren
Don’t think ppl in the public eye are allowed to talk about that topic….surely half a million kids vanishing is news worthy……..but yet no one talks about it.
Yes… I thought she’s all about the issues no one wants to talk about but she barely even promoted Sound of Freedom when it came out, which I found very odd.
@@richdan777most likely because the left is responsible for the missing children/human trafficking. They always protect their own. Now if it happened under Trump they would blasting it day in and day out.
Where are the children? Some is used for the s*x industry, others organs and other body parts taken, medical experimentations, essentially used as a caged animal. Also Elon musk company uses human experimentation labs. In addition USA/UK abducts children from war zones, and 3rd world for such uses happed to my cousin in Bangladesh in 2009 when he was drugged and woke up to find people around him with organs missing, he escaped and later local man admitted was paid by Americans for kidney organs.
Thank you, Candace for keeping us informed on all of this! Finally somewhere we can get the facts and not the hyped up crap saturating social media. I know I can come here and get the truth! 👏🏻❤️
I literally drove Justin and his Mom home from his going away party in Stratford when he left to go and make his first song with Usher and the clan, I asked her how she felt about this and I can tell you right now that she was worried from the very very beginning, Justin was the absolute greatest kid people, so innocent and so polite. I am so so proud of this kid for the way he carries himself now, it is no wonder he ended up doing drugs and being a wild teenager, he was definitely not headed in that type of direction, definitely not.
❤thank you for your story! I pray for Justin’s health and safety. We knew nothing behind the curtain back then. Scooter Braun was definitely the main culprit of this sick tragedy
If she was so worried then why did she let him go? He was a baby. She had the authority, she was the parent and she was able to tell him no. She got greedy. She saw the money coming in, the nice cars, nice houses, what their life can be financially and she got greedy and gave up her son to these monsters these devils. She left her son to fend for himself, and so he turned to drugs. As a mom myself, I could never hand over my 13-year-old son to a grown man and then that grown man turns over my son to another grown man who’s even older and has the worst reputation. It’s hard to defend among or dad who does that with there child.
@tinabumbalina2602 worth thinking about, I wasn't there so don't know the real story but thank you for the differing perspective. As a moment I would visit friends homes before my children ever spent time in them. Sending my 13 year old off on a solo adventure would never have happened. I am with you on that.
@@tinabumbalina2602 You have no idea what she said to Justin, or about her pain and grief. "Walk a mile in my shoes" and "Judge not, lest you be judged" come to mind. You know you are telling us more about yourself than about his Mother? 👈 Looking at them on a Soul level, part of their mission for being here now, may be to help bring down what has been done to countless of innocent Souls. Personally, I think they are both very great Beings. Love and compassion to them and all who have suffered at the hands of evil. Sending us all God's strength, courage, victory and peace, as that 'game' crumbles. 🌟 💖🌟
I truly believe that being a father has make him see what happened to him as a child was not OK and now he’s ready to set things, right. He wants to protect his kids the way he wishes they would of protect him. Being a parent definitely it’s a life-changing experience. I wish him all the best in the world, and I hope all the truth comes out to protect Futuro children’s from going through whatever he went through. God bless him and his family.
I agree I think when you go though Trauma and abuse like that, the adults convince you that you chose it and they also threaten you. I bet with Diddy’s known violence and murders and all his powerful friends adds even more punch to that threat.
I have to push back Candace. I am dependent currently on Metformin. I am a type 2 diabetic. I had papillary carcinoma and needed a total Thyroidectomy and I am dependent for life on Levothyroxine. BTW the total Thyroidectomy started the pre-diabetes. I am currently going through menopause and dependent on Estrogen. Your point of view on this is a little too black and white.
I've prayed for JB since he was a teen. I saw his mother talking about being a Christian and knew I had to stand in prayer for that kid through thick and thin! He is very blessed to have his beautiful wife and wonderful Pastor Judah Smith! Yes, keep praying for him and his family!
Way to stay classy, Candace! Your commentary regarding your debate with Mikala Peterson could have taken a dark path. Instead, you brought the receipts and explained your POV, while remaining respectful. So proud of you!❤
Michaela is someone who piggy backed off her daddy’s fame, her dad shouldn’t be famous either he’s a fool. Neither one of them have anything of value to add to any conversation, I don’t know why they even have a following or fans it’s so strange to me, I don’t understand what people see in either one of them.
@@Anon-lz1qy Well, well, well... Jordan Peterson is a brilliant clinical psychologist. Hundreds of Thousands have been blessed by his lectures and his self improvement course. Mikhaila is an up and coming intellectual, I hope she will turn a little bit more conservative still, and ultimately, that both Jordan Peterson and his beautiful daughter will get to know Jesus Christ and become His followers.
Hey Candace, love the show just want to help with the dependence vs addiction argument, they are two different things. if your doctor who’s the professional prescribes you a benzodiazepine for six months and you take it as prescribed and do not abuse it but you physically become dependent on it and actually have to detox off of it. You would not be considered an addict, now if that same person was prescribed benzodiazepine for six months, abused their prescription and ran out after two months. They would be an addict so so there is a difference in behavior there? I hope this message finds you, again I’m a fan love the show keep up the awesome content
Right, in rehab they’d call that minimizing and distancing yourself from the situation. Look, Xanax is more addictive than heroin, it’s truly a demonic drug, overuse makes otherwise calm people angry, defensive and violent, like out of their minds. I know a guy who went into a house of an ex and shot up the place- he’s dead now, a senior in high school.. Another guy wrecked into a car, backed up and did it again and again..and again. A mother I know took it and passed out on more than one occasion. Other times she’d take off and leave her toddlers alone in the house. The children, who are autistic, had to move in with their grandmother. What kind of doctor gives this to a single mother of autistic toddler twins?? It’s running rampant because doctors are getting paid or luxury perks to prescribe it. There are rap artists like Lil Xan X and countless songs devoted to the drug, or casually mentioned. It’s a diabolical plan to keep us in bondage and it’s evil to its core. Jordan Peterson is probably back on this drug because he’s acting like it- angry, defensive and violent, he’s just got this resentment, I see why, he’s been through a lot but we are commanded to forgive and let go of resentment= generational demons are borne of resentment, it’s something that affects every aspect of our lives for the rest of our lives if we stuff it down. It’s something cannot truly process alone so we must give it to the Holy Spirit, let go and let God. Jordan talks about Jesus but does so with anger and vengeance toward those who have wronged him and that’s the opposite of Jesus. I can always tell when Peterson, someone Ive come to admire and enjoy learning from, is going through a demonic attachment issue. He starts squinting his eyes, frowning, interrupting, talking over people, taking over the conversation without listening. And his movements are pensive, uptight and jerky- more than his normal. He’s quick to anger, his tone of voice is…well just different..his ego gets the better of him- the clothes get a lot flashier, he acts a bit more pompous, his daughter starts running to defend him. When you know you know. By the way, she looks just like a young Christina Applegate. Look I’m a daddy’s girl, I get it, but he’s in the public eye, it comes with the territory. And he’s quick to insult whomever he pleases so you get it thrown back at you sometimes, let it humble you, don’t double down. And defending her dad does Peterson a disservice, he’s supposed to be dangerous. Dangerous men don’t need their little girls out there slaying their dragons for them. I pray God will be with Jordan and his amazing family. He will be fine, probably better for it.
Thank you for saying that, because if someone call me an addict I would be very offended because Im depending on insulin and in that term you puting me with the drug addicts in the same box is not right.
So, in order to protest corruption and oppressed speech, you're joining an app run by corrupt communists, who take all of your data and personal information, on a malware app that has no free speech. Yeah, makes as much sense as it sounds.
My understanding of an addict verses a dependent is that an addict abuses their prescription and a dependent takes their prescription as instructed but when its time to come off that medication they have sever side effects making it difficult to come off the medication
"when its time to come off that medication they have sever side effects making it difficult to come off the medication" this is the part that leads people to becoming addicts (the mental aspect), withdrawal is a very painful experience and they would rather avoid it, they keep on taking the drug to the point the normal dose they use is no longer working (intolerance) , that's where the abuse comes in and they take higher doses of the drug, some people might even seek stronger opioid meds as alternative
Honestly what I a can advise any addict is to start to pray if u are Christian start going to church more for am a Muslim I was addicted to alcohol drinking for 365 days what I did started going to mosque avoid bad company no staying out at night after job home never used any kind of medication am happy my family are happy
oh yes! good explanation! only JP would know the answer to whether he took more than prescribed at times and ran out of meds early. that would contribute to a tough time all the way around.
As someone who works in the field and someone who was a benzo addict, benzos are different from any other psych med the way that oxycodone or morphine are different from other pain meds like Tylenol. Benzo withdrawal doesn’t just affect your state of mind, it can cause seizures and go days or weeks without eating or sleeping. There’s a fine line between dependence and addiction and anyone on benzos for a period of time is physically addicted, their body is physically addicted to that drug. Coming off an antidepressant can cause depression and some anxiety but that’s the worst of it. Coming off benzos can literally make you feel like you’re losing your mind.
I appreciate you sharing this truth. Benzos are no joke and I bet most of these celebs are on them. The anxiety they have is probably off the charts. I mean it was clear as day both Hillary and Kamala are on one. I better say “allegedly” although anyone with any knowledge can spot it. Many mass pew pews have shown to be on them at some point. This stuff is straight poison. Congratulations on your sobriety!!❤🎉 Im so happy you are helping others!! God Bless!
@@General_Junkie except people who are dependent don't seek out drugs in the same way addicts do. The urge to use is non-existent therefore they are NOT the same.
Love you Candace. Literally can not wait for the weekends to be over so you post again lol. I am an addict. I have been in recovery for over 7 years now, after suffering in active addiction for 15 years. It is a very thin line distinguishing a difference between "addiction" and "dependence" because in MOST cases, they look exactly the same. However It is POSSIBLE to become dependent and not be an addict in my opinion. My belief of this is because addiction is an illness of the brain. So, in my situation and MANY addicts that I know, we knew we were addicts way before we ever put a substance into our body, as well as, it doesn't really matter what it is, I can overuse and abuse anything. drugs, sex, money, food, work. There just seems to be a broken off button, I just want more and more of it. Where as, someone like my father who has had severe injuries has been prescribed opiates for years. He is absolutely dependent on them, which, looks the same as addicted in the way that if he does not take them, he will suffer the withdrawal that anybody will go thru when your body is dependent on those drugs. The difference though is that he has been on a low dose, that I KNOW can not be working well after all of these years, but he has never taken more than what he is prescribed and has never gone up in dose. He doesn't have the mental compulsion part that seems to be the key factor in an addict brain. Once I start, my mind will literally think of nothing else. I want it, I want it now, and I want as much of it as possible. Sadly though, this distinction between "addiction" and "dependence" had given MANY addicts a false sense of reality, believing that they are in fact not addicts which will keep them sick and suffering. Like I said Very thin line And from what I've seen, VERY few people who are just dependent and not also addicts
Omg if you mentally, physically, or emotionally DEPEND on a medication that was prescribed by your doctor it is an addiction. Be very wary whenever the medical community creates any new words. They lost me at “breakthrough pain.”
So would you say a diabetic who is dependent on their medication to live is now addicted to it 🤔 See the distinction? That wasn't hard to smash the flaw in your logic, which is why they are not synonymous terms in all aspects.
@@emotional_anarchist that’s a good point. However the answer is still yes by definition - physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance, and unable to stop taking it without incurring adverse effects. Now replace substance with medication
I feel so incredibly sorry for these child actors/young musicians that don't have their parents watching over em and allowing what's happened to Justin, Britney, Drake Bell etc, to happen. I don't know how parents can look at themselves after knowing what they've subjected their children to
@@johnwicklund6826 My husband was too, thankfully he got put into a good family. I've most definitely heard about the horror of the foster system. Here on the Gold Coast in Australia, there was a young girl who got knocked up by her foster brother at age 12, the foster brother was in his 20s. His dad "offed" the girl to cover up what his pos son did
Candace having your back online is a hill I’m willing to die on! You single-handedly got me back to church. I hope young women across our nation pay attention to strong, intelligent beautiful Christian women like yourself as a role model. Our country and our kids need Jesus! ❤
It’s crazy she’s against worship towards anyone but god but hear you people are just blasphemous lol. Thank god for his presence in your life. Defend his word on a hill.
Same. I started reading the Bible this year for the first time. I wasn't woke but i wasn't paying either too much attention to Christianity even though I'm born in a christian family and all. I am very grateful to her and I hope she will be able to touch many other young women too.❤
Exactly, but of course all Selena fans still say that songs about their breakup! When I knew from the beginning it was absolutely about Diddy and the trauma he’s had to endure! And makes complete sense why he doesn’t want anything 2 do with hollyweird now! Just wish people would leave him and his wifey alone!!!
Selena fans make everything about her but they seem to forget there are videos of her being aggressive with him and throwing hands at him.@jenniferRodgers-fs9fh
Candace, I’m an addict that’s in my recovery. Everything you said was spot on. And I’m so happy you didn’t fold. She is trying to protect her father and I completely respect that. However, addiction is addiction and deep down, she knows that truth. That’s why she gets so offended by you honestly. I pray Dr.Jordon Peterson and his family heal and get better. I love him and always have. Addict doesn’t mean you lack worth. It’s something to learn from.
I’m a recovering heroin “dependent” lol. But the scenario you spelled out about the process of going from prescriptions to the streets is exactly what happened to me. And it’s an addiction
Saying someone who is dependent on Benzos isn’t addicted to benzos is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. Benzos are actually more addictive than heroin. It’s one of the only addictions that can kill you if you quit cold turkey. Alcohol is the other.
Addiction is a synonym of dependence. To say someone is "dependent" sounds more polite. To say "Addict" sounds more brash, BUT, at the end of the day, they both say the same thing...."you have a problem!"
Yes, a problem but not necessarily an addiction. People self medicate with alcohol for instance when they have issues that seem insurmountable. Doctors are very careful these days before labelling people and prescribing unnecessary medication. When what they need is help sorting they’re problems out. Believe me I know, coz it happened to me. It took a while to turn my life around but I’m medication and alcohol free. 🤷
You can become physically dependent on certain medications. Not addicted. Your body stops producing/functioning on its own. It depends on the medication to facilitate/produce things. Linzess for ibs-c warns your body can forget how to make a bowel movement.
Great episode! I agree with you regarding dependence vs addiction. Michaela says that the 'dependence' withdrawal causes suicidal thought or even people acting on those feelings whis is a pretty drastic behavior change! It's like poor people are crazy while rich people are eccentric
I’ve been through benzo withdrawal, coupled with Prozac withdrawal. It was hell on Earth. Even if you weren’t suicidal before, there’s something about benzo withdrawal that makes suicidal thoughts seem to fly at you. Constant state of panic, especially in public, profuse sweating. And the withdrawal went up and down, not linear at all. Pure terror.
When people think of an addict, one of the first things that comes to mind is one who is seeking a dopamine dump or hit. Most people who are prescribed benzos are seeking to neutralize their anxiety, panic attacks, muscle spasms, insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms they are suffering from. They are not looking to be prescribed a medication that will induce a pleasurable, euphoric experience like most if not all street drug addicts are chasing. The dependency aspect comes from when one is attempting to wean or quit the pharmaceutical drug and experiences uncomfortable physical withdrawal symptoms. This is the same experience one goes through when weaning or quitting street drugs. A crack head is initially seeking a dopamine hit. Builds a tolerance and succumbs addiction. Someone who is prescribed benzos can be the average person who is seeking a way to suppress their uncomfortable symptoms I stated earlier. And their physician has only one solution. Benzos and crack both cause dependency, but only one causes addiction.
Why does it matter, the end goal is getting clean period. This nitpicking is pathetic on both sides. I wouldn’t care what a family member or friend called it, I’d just be happy they’re dealing with it🙄
Ur 100% correct Candace addiction= dependance= addiction and yes it changes ur behavior. It really doesn't matter which word u use to describe it. When u don't have the drug ur body is addicted to, due to ur dependence to that drug, u will do things u never thought u would do, to stop that withdrawal symptoms, and yes that includes taking other drugs to assist in masking the withdrawal. I know this all to well, as I'm happily 5years sober.🙏
Ms. Peterson needs to understand that changing the language doesn’t change the reality. Drug dependency is the same as addiction. The word “addiction” has been used derogatorily in recent decades, but at its core it still retains its original meaning. Acknowledgment of such is only offensive to her because she is approaching the subject from a purely emotional standpoint. We can’t keep manipulating language to suit our own feelings. Facts remain facts regardless of how we feel about them.
No it’s not. With a dependency there’s no craving, no habit. It’s that your body doesn’t function properly without the medication when you stop taking it, and in a way that’s extremely uncomfortable or dangerous.
Developing an addiction and developing a dependency are the same thing! Yes, addiction has been used a pejorative but now using dependency doesn’t change the tune of the song. An addiction and a dependency can occur with or without someone’s volition. They’re just playing semantics. Pompous indeed.
Candace I normally agree with you on pretty much everything and as a friend I think you need to revisit the conversation with MP. All she was saying is that her fathers issues developed from the benzos wasn't an addiction as you repeatedly called it. JP followed the doctors recommended dosage and when he wanted to stop he didn't think twice about it. Little did he know that within 48 hours his world would be turned upside down. That's not because he had an addiction but because his body developed a physical dependency. They're worse than opiates. Words do matter and some may argue it's the same but in his case it's not.
I agree with you. In general I back Candace but I don’t think she’s right or that she understands what Mikhaila was getting at. Makes me think she’s got something personal against the Petersons. Which is not my business but Mikhaila was so right when she called out Candace for acting like a mean girl. Candace, you definitely DID laugh about it in the original video. The half ass non-apology proved her insincerity and inability consider there could be some nuance to this (completely irrelevant) addiction debate. I respect both of these ladies and cringed hard watching them spat like 2 popular high school girls. Neither of them effectively got their points across but Candace was certainly louder and more obnoxious so she took the win. Also as an immigrant and JP’s daughter OF COURSE both topics of discussion are going to be soft spots for Mikhaila. So it did come across as more of an attack than a debate.
I don’t understand either Candace. When did addiction turn into dependence? I grew up with the word addiction. Now that this “dependence” is affecting people in the suburbs we want to change the terminology. This is wild!!!
Its just word games so that big pharma can make more treatment chems or prescriptions for people who would never otherwise claim the unsavory title of Addict.
I always understood dependence to be a physical medical diagnosis if you are dependent you will have physical withdrawal . Addiction is mental and physical but doesn't need to be physical. I used to be a drug and alcohol counselor.
@gimmietoast Exactly. She is a desperate hypocrite who really wants to be a part of the crown she speaks down on..I see right through her resentful ways.
@gimmietoast I do not get that she is friends with him and she says nothing about the way his wife looks sometimes on photos, almost naked and kind of lost.
Maybe she’s waiting for him to snap out of it. She knows his potential and how he’s been messed with and targeted. But it is such a bad look, seeing that Aussie woman like that 🤮 Like Kanye goes for the worst.
I will definitely pray for Justin. I am very proud of him and hopeful that he will continue to grow strong, do what is right for himself, protect and take care of his family.
So, as a nurse here, to help you understand a bit ....dependence really doesnt mean addiction every time. The 2 words have been used interchangeably a lot in the past by addiction centers, ERs, medical centers and psych wards, and usually medical people know which is which, and which isnt! Ms. Peterson has a point, but not in her favor because she didnt explain it very well to the audience. With addiction, the patient wants to take the drug, because their brain is telling them they need the drug to get that dopamine to be happy again. They physically, mentally and emotionally crave the med. If they are recovering long enough and the physical and emotional cravings have subsided, they will still have a mental craving. theres always gonna be a little piece of their brain reminding them they want the drug, so its a mental fight to stay clean every day. With the type of dependence she mentioned, there is a totally diff physiological process in play. The patients may have been put on the med for short term because of a manic episode. They dont want to take the med, & they arent addicted to the med in the sense that they crave taking it. However, if they stop taking it all of a sudden, (the usual reason is because they dont want to take it anymore because it makes them feel bad), it can cause severe physiological problems, like electrolyte imbalances in their brain that can put them in a coma, & if not caught right away can cause brain damage or death. It can cause them to feel like absolute crap, with flu like symptoms, dizziness, headaches, etc. Other sudden stop issues can cause kidney or adrenal crises, possible liver enzyme elevation, pancreatitis, maybe vomiting and other serious issues ive not heard about yet. Im not a psych nurse but i deal with neurological disorders and brain tumors. If you dont understand the physiological crises of drug dependence due to these meds, then it does sound a lot like addiction, except the mental craving to take the meds is not there, so its not a mental battle for the person to stop them. An example of non-narcotic medication dependence is when a person takes an oral steroid. It has to be tapered off because your adrenal glands could go into crisis mode. There are a couple handfuls of anti-depressants (non-narcotic) and non benzo psych meds that have to be tapered off slowly because your body could hurt or kill you if you dont taper, like the steroids i mentioned. I do believe you said the right thing to Ms. Peterson, because Dr. Peterson said he had benzo dependency issues, which admittedly sounds more like a description of addiction (imho). You are both right, but she didnt explain her argument well enough to make sense, so you are more right because of the nuance of the situation. I just wanted to let you know there is a very important difference in the 2 words that can be very tricky when making an argument. I love your show and watch you everyday!
Genuine question not trying to argue for arguments sake. If a meth, crack, LSD, or fentanyl addict is considered an addict because they have to have the drug to cope and function in their day to day lives. Why aren't people that after years of taking prescription medications who can't stop, not only for the health complications, but because said drug helps them cope and function in their day to day lives? You can die from alcohol withdrawals. Alcohol is one of the worst withdrawal processes. So to say that it's a dependency because you have to taper them off sounds disingenuous at best. People that are addicted to street drugs also have to go through a detox protocol because stopping cold turkey can be very dangerous as well it isn't just benzos or other opiates.
As someone who HAS suffered with both addiction, AND dependency issues, you are 100% correct in your explanation. For example, I'm 39 years old now but I began having foot surgeries at age 12. Since then, I've had roughly 15 foot surgeries (both feet due to a defect in how my bones grew), 2 hip surgeries ( bone grafts to place in my feet for fusion), 2 MAJOR back surgeries (3 spinal cord stimulators), 1 knee surgery, and a hysterectomy. I'm currently in need of a fusion and decompression surgery in at least 2 disc's in my neck, but I'm trying to put filter off for as long as possible. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in both legs and arms (which is rare to have it in so many places and if you don't know what the disorder is, look it up - it's devastating). I have arthritis and bone spurs in my feet, knees, hips, facet joints (low back), mid and upper back, shoulders, and hands. From a young age I was placed on narcotic pain medications, and when my mother informed my doctor that I had a family history of addiction, my doctors assured her that there was minimal risk. While these medications admittedly allowed me to live an active life, they were also slowly killing me. I had to take stronger and stronger medications, until I was eventually prescribed Fent@nyl patches. Eventually, that wasn't enough, and I went to the streets, which evolved into a full-blown H addiction. Fortunately, I made it out and have been off of it for over 10 years now and while I have had to take narcotics for short periods of time over the years due to various operations, I haven't gone back. THAT IS A DESCRIPTION OF ADDICTION. Additionally, I've suffered with extremely serious treatment-resistant depression throughout my entire life for as long as I can remember. I've been on every medication under the sun, I've been a part of testing new medications that aren't available yet, I've done ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy, or "shock therapy"), I've seen specialists and therapists galore, and at the end of the day nothing helps. I've made multiple attempts to unalive myself; the first at age 12. At one point about a year and a half ago, I was taking upwards of 30 pills a day in an effort to combat both my mental and physical pain. The medications are heavy hitters, and admittedly, I do still take Lyrica to help with my pain. With that said, I've been tapering my medications for about a year now, with the ultimate goal being that I'm off all prescription medications. I'm currently down to taking only 3 prescription medications. I'm tapering off my medications bc I do NOT want to be on them anymore; I want my body to have a "fresh start", so I'm can see what all medications I might ACTUALLY NEED. If I taper too quickly, I feel awful. THIS IS PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE.
There is no difference between addiction and dependence. Dependence is the direct cause of addiction. I’m a recovering heroin and benzo addict, have been for almost 7 years now and I’ve thought deeply about this. Funnily enough I am now trying to get off the Suboxone and Gabapentin that my rehabs put me on. Yes, they helped me but I feel I was lied to by multiple medical professionals when I was told they were not addicting when I asked. When I asked I was implying “am I going to be sick mentally & physically when I eventually want to come off these” and they told me no. Actually Gabapentin was called a “miracle drug” less than 10 years ago by my doctors and everywhere on the internet. Had I known what I know now I would of never have gotten on these meds. They use this dependence term to avoid being sued by the millions of people they told these drugs weren’t addicting too. Too bad Jordan’s daughter hasn’t seen this yet. Don’t trust doctors. Eat healthy, meditate, exercise, take vitamins and learn as much as you can about herbs and holistic healing like Ayurveda etc.
Watching the part from Howard Stern show with Usher talking about being 13 and living at Diddy's house ... Made me sick 🤢 he wasn't "having a good time", he was being subjected to SRA and forced to live with a bunch of PDF files
Thank you for the additional comment about Mikayla Peterson! I watched that debate and laughed out loud when she tried to say that she and her dad weren’t addicts! That’s Exactly what an addiction is, a dependence on a drug! My father & brother(both doctors) and myself were all addicted to pain medications for legitimate diagnoses, but that did not mean we were not addicts! She sounded absurd and yes, pompous. All of us have been clean for 15+ years now. Btw, we are all on board with you about big pharma and vaccines. More & more people are waking up to all the bs our government has lied to us about. Love your show! (I’m also a Tennessean😉)
Maybe I'm actually Canadian because I think there is a difference between those who CHOOSE addiction and those who are blindsided into it. The addiction is the same, yes. The intentions are NOT. It's like a guy who drugs a girl's drink, rapes her and tells all their friends they are a couple because they had sex. Yes...there was sex. But did the girl have a choice after being drugged and raped??? Nope! That's the point everyone seems to be missing.
So insulin dependant diabetics are addicts? People on antihypertensive are addicts? People using cardiac meds daily are addicts? No only those who need brain meds....so tired of unfair labels when it comes to the treatment of the organ the brain and nervous system when no other organ in the body is labeled or shamed for being medically treated!
Sorry, Candance, but you're NOT getting it. She is speaking about the dangers of withdrawal from Psych Meds. There is no desire to use or abuse the psych meds or to go to the streets to buy street drugs. They are genuinely speaking about the horrible and death causing withdrawal symptoms when you're trying to stop taking Psych meds.
I love Candace but she’s really not getting it. I think it comes down to her never experiencing psych meds. She thinks it’s a money thing and she’s not “rich” enough. Like her and husband aren’t millionaires🙄
Benzo withdrawal is dangerous. Also, Jordan sought higher doses to deal with the stress during his wife's cancer, and he should have known withdrawal must be made with care. These things can both be true at the same time. Jordan made two choices, in which the term "behavior" is implicit: seeking higher doses and stopping cold turkey just because they weren't working as well anymore. A silver lining is that it brought attention to benzo withdrawal, but it doesn't make his options any less misguided.
@@NicOrtiz-w9z It seems to me that it is rather interesting that so many in the 1st world need to (maybe need is not the correct word) take psych meds, I guess the lack of physical problems requires an imaginative replacement. 🤔
Whether you desire to use it or if you abuse it….. needing the drug (for whatever reason) it is an addiction…. That’s what Candace is saying. Ppl are getting hung up because now they are trying to change the meanings of words……
Addiction is addiction. When Mikhaila said “If you’re on a psych med long term you form a dependence and it’s very difficult to get off.” I literally screamed at my phone THAT’S AN ADDICTION! 😅
that means anyone who takes a daily medication, for any reason, that would cause any amount of discomfort if they went without the medication is addicted. that's goofy.
@@jewel88846Bullshit it's all the same, I'd love to hear your dumb ideas elaborating further on the difference between the 2 words. Are you aware that his "dependence" was so bad he elected to go to Russia to be put in a coma to avoid the withdrawals?
Pierce showed the clip of your show where you were talking about Jordan's addiction and you WERE LAUGHING in that clip. How can you say you weren't laughing? You were right before our eyes. You should apologize.
Ugh. I had to withdraw from my anti-depressant & sleep meds. It was a horrible month of withdrawal. Was I an addict? Was I dependent? 🤷♀️🤷♀️ I’m also an alcoholic. I am sober now 4 years. I do not softball this…I was a drunk! Now through the grace of God I am free. From the obsession for today. This for sure was addiction & obsession. The fact many call it a Substance Use Disorder-doesn’t change the fact that I lost my soul in a bottle for 5 years.
I’m proud of you! It is not easy, my son went through HELL breaking addiction. 28 surgeries for a birth defect (long story) been prescribed pain meds since he was 6 months old. Took years for him to break the addiction and he went to some extremes to do it but he was determined. Been sober for 3+ years. Keep spreading the message! It can be done!
Peterson changed my life back in 2018. I prayed to God for him when he was ill and sometimes still do now, but he's just not the same person since he joined DW. And I'm not blaming DW, I couldn't possibly know whether is his carnivore diet, extra money, amount of stress and haters he had to put up with - God only knows *why* he changed. All I know is what I feel in my heart now listening to him - he feels like a shadow of his former self. The man I see today I don't trust to stand up against tyranny like he taught us we should.
My friend LOVES JP I kind of liked him at first but something CHANGED and I couldn't quite put my finger on it . I don't listen to him at all and I just feel like he's soulless now . Something is just off !
same, it feels soo hypocritical when he says he is against ab0rt1oN but supports isnothell's acts towards innocent people, especially kids is insane and kinda funny @@squidward1984
Candace I believe you were spot on about her father! You weren't being insensitive and were simply stating facts. She couldn't handle the truth bc it is her dad. Even when you made a valid point, she only heard what irritated her and nothing else. She made no sense, but then went on to speak down to you as if you have no knowledge of addiction. You handled that gracefully like always!
@@batadamhuman2053 It’s difficult to show empathy when in a debate and the other person is clearly heated and condescending. Candace has explained many times that when she’s pregnant she doesn’t take bs. I also don’t think Candace owes anyone empathy when she’s simply doing her job by covering a topic. It’s true that wealthy people don’t own up to having addictions or it’s simply not spoken about or swept under the rug. The problem needs to be addressed no matter how they got there. Whether intentional or not. My prayers go up to all addicts.
I'm with u Candace, addicts/dependence is someone on & taking drugs. Instead of arguing what it's called, we should band together to end drugs. No more pharma.
Addiction implies abuse of a drug. Dependence is a need for a medication to treat a medical condition. One of my medications for epilepsy is controlled because it can create a dependence with withdrawal symptoms if stopped, but it is a medication that nobody would abuse.
Thank you!! This was my point: A diabetic is dependent on their insulin to survive...does this now entail that they are addicted? Obviously the answer is NO.
@rosyapplekitchen635 agreed. Having been through addiction myself and abusing benzos. However I can completely understand being prescribed them and not knowing that's the case. Believing they are just like any other mental health medicine. Thats all. And Candace is framing this all like he is an addict which isn't the case. That's the part people are offended by
@@rosyapplekitchen635 not necessarily. Benzos do have a legitimate place in medicine that is not just to cause addiction. They work well for acute panic attacks and will stop seizures. They work well short term for anxiety disorders until another prescribed medication can take full effect or the root cause of the anxiety is found and treated. While benzos are abused, people who are prescribed and take them appropriately are not addicts.
Just passed my five year mark of sobriety and I'd like to say one of my best friends started off on pain killers, now does any street drug you can think of. Any addict has developed a dependence on their drug. That's what makes them addicted...
Dependency is addition. Drug addicts are dependent on their drug of choice so they don’t get sick because withdrawal is hell to go through. I’ve seen someone go through it and it’s hell.
I think what Mikhalia was trying to say is that her dad depends on the meds, like someone with type 1 diabetes or someone with asthma. They don’t necessarily want to take it or crave it. But if they don’t take it, their bodies won’t function well.
That's exactly what addiction is! You actually think people who are addicted to heroin or meth truly want to be addicted to it or truly want to crave it? There's NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY ON PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION! The only difference is that prescription medication that someone is addicted to is prescribed legally by their doctor!
Same for any drugs. Even if you don't wanna take it you are forced by the body cravings. It's a form of addiction or dependance whatever you wanna call it.
@ I mean it’s not an argument or back and forth. That’s just how I think she interprets the situation. She looked so frustrated like she wasn’t getting her thoughts out right. And yes I do think the drug addicts crave it. It makes them have a feeling of ecstasy. It’s an escape. Changes their mood.
Great show!,, loved the section w/ Makhaila and it was definitely giving "Addiction is for the poors" 💯💯💯 And it's totally OK to disagree, always civilly.
Good for Justin Bieber recovering his life!! I hope God guides his steps and God draws real friends into his life. Prayers for that young man.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Seeing a few of the last Justin Bieber interviews made me so sad for him. He looks broken. And he's so young! Justice for Justin and all the young people of Hollywood ❤
Also I was a benzo and heroin addict and I’ve been sober from those things for over 10 years, but the withdrawals were very different. With the heroin, the worst of it was over in 3 days to a week. With benzos, it took 2 weeks before I could eat or sleep longer than a half hour at a time. Also benzos are “acceptable” and the stigma is less and there are legit reasons to take them (preferably not every day to avoid dependency), so unless you can admit that an addiction is an addiction whether it’s benzos or heroin or porn etc. then you prob won’t stay clean because you won’t think you have a problem
I had the same opposite experience! Wasn’t addicted to herion but painkillers they put me on suboxone! Never once had a withdrawal from Xanax, other than a bit ill or snappy, but the suboxone was a whole different experience and devil it’s self! Point is everyone’s bodies are different!
No that was the heroin withdrawal. I just got off Suboxone which I was prescribed to get off my illegal use of Oxy and Hydro’s. I had to be tapered off Suboxone from 16mg a day to 2mg a day. Took almost a year. Then when I finally stopped the 2mg, I had the typical flu like symptoms, cold chills yawning constantly, eyes watering etc. for a week, but by far the worst symptoms were the diarrhea and insomnia. The insomnia lasted 2 weeks, I was prescribed everything to help me sleep and the only thing that worked was Ambien. The Diarrhea lasted a little over a month! About a month and half. If you were on Heroin I’d think your withdrawal would be a lot more intense than mine and definitely last longer than three days. I can’t say I believe you
This is a great point. Antidepressants and benzos are different. Benzos, like certain pain meds, may be needed on an as-needed basis. Antidepressants are not gateway drugs, but benzos & pain meds are.
@@GwenStefaniGuild Opiate withdrawals can vary from person to person, and also the length of use matters, the size of doses, the consumption method they used. Also different opiates have different half lives, and Suboxone was designed to last 24 hours in your system, so it has a much longer half life than heroin, the half life in heroin is a few hours. Suboxone and Methadone were designed to help people quit opiate addiction, the idea was to help the addict last 24 hours without withdrawal
My family suffers from many addictions, and my husband is currently 6 years sober from alcohol. He spent 16 years working in a Christian rescue mission, helping men overcome their life crippling addictions and homelessness. Addiction/substance use disorder is the same thing, new name. Coming off of Rx drugs is extremely dangerous, and you become addicted. Being accountable and admitting only God can change you is the first step towards wholeness and sobriety. Keep up the great work, Candace!
I agree with Candace. An addiction is an addiction whether it be an addiction due to certain foods, doctor prescribed medication, or a street drug. How and why an addiction came about will vary and is important, but they are all addictions. Certainly, there are ppl who suffer more harm and have greater hurdles to battle if sobriety is to be had than others.
I’ve loved JP! Those tweets were ridiculous! As nurse who worked at a Methadone clinic. Rx’s are usually where addiction starts in a lot of cases. She loves her Dad. But I see nothing wrong with what you said.
It’s so sad what Justin went through. God definitely has a plan for his life and I pray for his healing. 😢😢😢 Those coming up in Hollywood now, should take heed and Run! Run! Run!
Dependency is an addiction. Thin skin doesn't help to conquer it. Fancy descriptions only blur the fact that you are an addict, and that prevents you from facing the truth.
I'm sorry but I have diabites type 1 and Im depending on insulin, if I don't use it I will die literally. So calling that the all dependent medication is wrong because we don't want to get insulin all life we want to live normal but we need to in order to live. So saying that dependency is addiction is a realy selfish and not thinking about other and others feeling that someone who is sick you call him addict.
@@milkyway11059 diabites is different story. there is a lack of insulin in your body, and in order for you to stay alive you have to get daily dose of it. In case of benzo-dependency person is craving the drug even though this drug is HARMFUL to him. The drug is destroying his life. Do you see the difference?
Drug dependency, substance abuse, drug addiction is all the same thing. The body is addicted to a particular drug, regardless of what that is. People who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, etc are referred to as addicts, so why should the rich, famous, elites and those who believe they above others, try to distance themselves from those who they see as below them. Sick of all the word salad, alternate words, etc by these people. Addiction is when the body is wanting/demanding the substance, so dependency is exactly the same thing, your body wants its fix. I feel for those who have any type of addiction.

So Usher was groomed and he groomed Justin but instead of Bieber grooming other young artists, he is protecting them . May God bless Justin man
I love the way you worded that.
Wow thanking a man for not grooming, how low is the bar
Well said!
It’s true that hurt people often hurt people but the cycle can be broken. My heart breaks for all these lives ruined. Prayers for Justin as I’m sure they will try to silence him. I think we have all seen too much at this point. We have seen behind the curtain of the pure evil going on and we are done supporting it.
Amen to Justin when no one else did
Justin became a dad and realized just how young he was when he was taken advantage of by all the people who claimed to love him. Becoming a parent really changes your perspective on age.
This is soooo true, I’m a mother and when my daughter was born, I felt a literal switch of off in my brain, that’s the only way I can explain it
I 100% agree
Yup. Angelina Jolie is a prime example.
I wish his mother had the same thoughts. He’s so broken from that time of his life. I’m glad he’s doing better
Yep which is why they love abortion, nobody gets more liberal after they have kids.
Less than a minute in and “you guys probably thought I got assassinated by the French president and his husband” 😭I love sassy Candace
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
omg yesssss 😂❤
Pregnant Candace is her ultimate form
Yeah I thought the gay mafia got to you Candace 😂😂😂😂

Look, Justin deserves his peace and moving on with his life. He's sending messages to everyone, publicly and privately.
Good for him.
When I say Candace telling Justin to “keep going, the world is behind you, Christ is King” gooooosebumps, chills, all over. Wowww. Powerful stuff, so much more than what meets the eye happening now. Christ is King.
Yep when she said that l felt a wave of joy.
Me too!!
@@brendabadih8855time stamp ?
Justin just needs to avoid the frauds like (IMO) the church he was in and Lou Taylor (diddy and Britney’s manager) and anyone whose IMO a charlatan - Christ is in his heart and he needs to realize the music industry preys upon it!

Good for Justin Bieber! Justice for Justin Bieber!!!!

March Trial is right around the corner
Scooter , Patty ..Justin’s mom and Usher are GARBAGE!! Insider here ..THEY HUNTED on the internet to find a mom willing to sell their kid to the industry ..THEY FOUND ONE! It’s why PATTY signed over her rights to Justin and the EXHILED HER to HAWAII with MILLIONS and an agreement and would not interfere . It’s why she never spoke up when just got in trouble. Then SCOOTER AND USHER worked Justin like a dog with multiple world tours and no time off..remember when Justin performed so sick on stage he was throwing up ..he had THE FLU. Then they pumped him out to Hollywood putting Justin in way to adult situations . When people started complaining about Justin having no friends his own age or relationships ..they set him up with Selena and a few guys own age to look like he has friends . Next look at Ryan secret digi tour and what happen to those kids on that tour …parents who signed over their kids ..who ended up at adult partys to the Hollywood elite while their parents stayed home with the money .
May ( I thought) ?
Poor boy...he was still a child, full of life, full of dreams, than he looked like broken inside, compleatly lost, affected... it's disturbing. His parents are not better than the entire bunch of pervs jumping around D... It's shocking !
Candace you have been blessed with an incredible mind. I’m a retired engineer and you fascinate me with the detail and the thoroughness you apply to all of your topics. I routinely watch you to get the real news regarding current events and issues. The Bible talks about how in our youth we see deemly, but as we age we begin to see more clearly. I’m experiencing such a renaissance in my life. Some people call the wisdom. I’m sure I won’t be around to see you mature (age), but I’m willing to bet that you are going to be one powerful woman. Don’t stop, remembering the passage that says “let us not grow weary in well doing.”
also retired engineer, thanks to trudeau, and just follow candace via logic, love her
In Jesus name and I pray God's will over your life on earth as it is in Heaven, in Jesus name amen
I sure wish Candace could see your thoughtful and sweet message. But many of us have. You're a special man!! Peace, love, and big BLESSINGS to you today and always 🥰
Well said 👏👏👏... she is and will become more & more powerful woman with God's protection & us praying for her & her family ❤

I usually don’t comment on RUclips but I was actually in prayer not even a couple days ago listening to worship music and a song came on with one of my favorite christian worship artist Chandler….Justin just so happened to be singing with him.
I immediately went into prayer for Justin I don’t normally pray for “celebrities” like that. I actually forgot I prayed until I clicked on the video and started reading the comments.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of the prayer and said this is why I needed you to pray that day!
Chandler and Justin were incredible in that song.
🙏
Candace, can you please interview Rymir. He is the man who believes he may be the son of Jay-Z says the rapper has been avoiding taking a paternity test for the past 14 years because his mom was under age at the time. He is being blocked by the courts thanks to Jaz Z' influence. It’s really cruel.
Why does Candace force this on us? 😩 why does she think we care even a little bit about these singers and there BS. Candace my black queen please, there’s more interesting shit going on
@@JoelDavid1776 Who's forcing you to watch it?
Usually, I stay away from those kinds of claims. Too many lies like that floating around but, I believe there's something to that one and the guy really does resemble jay z.
Yes that would be great!
They also changed homosexual to “gay” when gay originally meant cheerful/happy… I feel like the change in terminology is making people feel more comfortable to be in sin… pray for those who are deceived… This is spiritual. God bless you and your family, Candace 🫶🏽
Awesome, moral, and thought provoking commentary!
No doubt
"They" say a lot of garbage, but only to end up not true. Like the jab...
Actually that was because it was used as a derogatory term for homosexual men, so they adopted it. Gay people are just gay, not evil, chill.
The devil / satan enjoyment is for people to live in sin.😢
Hahahahha the french president and his husband is a hell of an intro. Coming in hot right off rip😂 this is why we love you Candace
Candace - I was put on a benzo (didn’t know it was a benzo) as a muscle relaxant due to back pain. After a month or so I threw the medication out as my back was fine but ended up in emergency 3 days later thinking I was having a heart attack! It was the withdrawal.
It took me about 6 months to slowly get off the medication, decreasing the those every week in drops, 5x days until it was over. There was no street drug that could help me with this! This is what Peterson ha and I wish they could have spread awareness !!!
Candace I'm an addict in recovery (5 years in 2 weeks) was a psych and detox RN , now I'm in my masters for addiction therapy- the state of colorado doesn't want to use "addict" or even "substance use disorder" as it's "stigmatizing" and relabel it "compulsive patterns syndrome"
.....
The only way you get clean is by KNOWING you are an addict, and admitting it.
Benzo dependency is the same thing as addiction. And it is very quick too, and Peterson as smart as he is KNOWS this too. The stats on benzo's have been out for decades.
There's no shame, he should own it. Empower others to get clean too. "Look at the stupid things I said, this is why you should get clean"
Could be an inspiring message and sadly he's not doing the 1 thing you need to do in recovery: have radical accountability
They want to not shoot for abstinence but just "using 3 times a week or something" ....
And Benzo's are WAY harder to get prescribed since 2013's-2014's? So there is a very high chance someone would turn to a street drug (or buying fake pressed bars laced with fentanyl and overdosing) because the withdrawal makes you incredibly anxious ... and now you already know how to "fix it" with a med. 🎉
13 years for me😊
Great job using your recovery to pursue a higher calling. 🙏🏼 keep persevering. You get it.
Just like the ONLY way you get saved is admitting you are a sinner in need of a Savior. We must 1st admit we have a problem b4 we seek THE CURE‼️ Jesus Christ
I too have been addicted to medication after 7 knee surgeries on my left knee while trying to continue playing basketball 🏀. I finally had a replacement 18 yrs ago at 30. I was super young to ruin my body & joints, but I knew way more than the Dr's did & nobody could tell me nuttin'‼️
Congratulations sir. It takes a lot of willpower to recover from addiction 👏 I'm also currently trying to abstain from pron, stayed off for roughly 2 years and half, kinda dipped my toes back recently cause hard times irl, but I know it's wrong, so I'm planning on picking my streak back up and hopefully quitting for good this time! I wish peace and luck to you and any others who are recovering from any kind of addiction 🙏
I'm not a coffee drinker. I'm not a coffee addict. I'm just coffee dependent 😂
Slap that on a Tshirt!
Millennial?
But did a trusted doctor tell you that coffee was going to heal you, take away your severe emotional trauma and you would get to have your life back? Your only supporting an evil stance of lacking empathy for those completely unknowingly becoming victims of the medical establishment. I know no one that becomes suicidal or loses their life from coffee.
Lol 😂😂😂
This needs to be a t shirt
Candace when you said "I'm not rich enough for this" i felt that in my soul. You hit the nail on the head.This is the reality for many addicts.
What's weird about this, is how Peterson always advocated for being specific, using the right words and not hiding in ,,half meanings". It's astonishing how he doesn't seem to realize he does the opposite of what he teaches, in many ways. I can only assume it's God teaching him humility by allowing him to fall.

The difference is, an addict becomes addicted by their own volition, a person who becomes dependent, is someone who only used those drugs because they trusted the medical system, they would have never used those drugs without their Doctors recommendation.

@@Frion-lg9rmit is not nonsense. If you are using a med under the care of a physician, and you have no idea the med causes depedence, AND its a psychiatric med, it cannot be addiction. It is, by the medical literature, dependence. Like diabetics are dependent on insulin.
Addiction requires the powerful urge to do something, without the need to do it. Anything can be addictive, but you have to have an urge to do it, and it cannot be medicine.
There are exceptions, like oxycontin. But its very clear.
I can agree with this statement. Personally, I feel that addiction and dependency are the night and day of each other. There are similar traits but different motives!
I was just about to jump on and say the same thing as someone who was a heroin & meth addict (who has grown up with a mentally ill parent on psych meds) who has also dabbled in valium and xanax half my life (but never addicted to them as i wasnt taking it daily long term).
Also I dont fault candice for this but benzo’s arnt the same thing as opiates & pain killers, opiate’s & pain killers lead to heroin, benzo’s lead to a very different hard time getting off, but I mean she is right in that dr’s will prescribe both benzos and opiates which benzo’s can lead dependance & the opiates to heroin addiction, but he clearly wasnt on opiates.
It can be a hard subject if you havnt experienced both

Candace, if you take medicine prescribed by a licensed professional, and you use as directed, as prescribed, you are not an addict. An addict is someone who ABUSES legal or illegal drugs. By taking more than prescribed or taking something illegal. Most people who go on psych meds are NEVER informed about the 6+ months hellish withdrawals when you decide to come off of them. That is not his fault. I have two relatives who've gone through this. It's not like Jordan abused the medicine. He was having horrible side effects / withdrawal symptoms, not fueling an addiction.
You're 100% incorrect. And that's the stupidest comment I've ever read. As someone that's in the healthcare field I seen many patients who are addicted to their prescriptions and when you try to cut them off from that prescription they fire you as an MD and start doctor shopping. Please don't act like just because you have a prescription that means you're not or can't be an addict. Those are literally the most addicted ones hiding behind the guise of a prescription. So much so that they'll throw themselves down the stairs to go to the ER and get that prescription once we stopped prescribing. You are literally brain dead when speaking on the opioid pandemic. Now hush
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
It’s sad what a lot of young 90s artists went through. Aaliyah was another prime example.
I watched the debate with yourself & Mikhaila, it’s such a cop out using the word “dependant” I’m an ex addict, was prescribed strong pain meds after the birth of my Son. Was prescribed them for months and months. When my GP stopped my prescription I took to the streets to buy them. After 6 long years of struggle and pain I finally walked away from them. I thought we were supposed to admit we were addicts before we could change. I can’t believe it’s now being taught.
Watch a whole lot of addicts jump to use this term!
No, there is a difference between a chemical dependence and mere psychological addiction. No addict is the same. Many many people are dependent on psych medication or have developed dependency through health issues and surgeries- we can’t condemn all these people as mere „addicts“
@@audreygribble6033yeah we all know the difference. The difference is the suburbs and the ghetto, the rich and the poor.

@@audreygribble6033exactly!! 💯
Also one doesn’t move from benzodiazepines to Heroin. To me that made Candace sound like she doesn’t know much about this topic. People move from opiates such as Percocet to heroin. Benzos aren’t the same as opiates.

Candace, please talk about the 500K missing children in the US in the past year. No one talks about the children and child trafficking :( #wherearethechildren

Don’t think ppl in the public eye are allowed to talk about that topic….surely half a million kids vanishing is news worthy……..but yet no one talks about it.
Yes… I thought she’s all about the issues no one wants to talk about but she barely even promoted Sound of Freedom when it came out, which I found very odd.
@@richdan777most likely because the left is responsible for the missing children/human trafficking. They always protect their own. Now if it happened under Trump they would blasting it day in and day out.
Where are the children? Some is used for the s*x industry, others organs and other body parts taken, medical experimentations, essentially used as a caged animal. Also Elon musk company uses human experimentation labs. In addition USA/UK abducts children from war zones, and 3rd world for such uses happed to my cousin in Bangladesh in 2009 when he was drugged and woke up to find people around him with organs missing, he escaped and later local man admitted was paid by Americans for kidney organs.
Thank you, Candace for keeping us informed on all of this! Finally somewhere we can get the facts and not the hyped up crap saturating social media. I know I can come here and get the truth! 👏🏻❤️
I literally drove Justin and his Mom home from his going away party in Stratford when he left to go and make his first song with Usher and the clan, I asked her how she felt about this and I can tell you right now that she was worried from the very very beginning, Justin was the absolute greatest kid people, so innocent and so polite. I am so so proud of this kid for the way he carries himself now, it is no wonder he ended up doing drugs and being a wild teenager, he was definitely not headed in that type of direction, definitely not.
❤thank you for your story! I pray for Justin’s health and safety. We knew nothing behind the curtain back then. Scooter Braun was definitely the main culprit of this sick tragedy
If she was so worried then why did she let him go? He was a baby. She had the authority, she was the parent and she was able to tell him no. She got greedy. She saw the money coming in, the nice cars, nice houses, what their life can be financially and she got greedy and gave up her son to these monsters these devils. She left her son to fend for himself, and so he turned to drugs. As a mom myself, I could never hand over my 13-year-old son to a grown man and then that grown man turns over my son to another grown man who’s even older and has the worst reputation. It’s hard to defend among or dad who does that with there child.
@tinabumbalina2602 worth thinking about, I wasn't there so don't know the real story but thank you for the differing perspective. As a moment I would visit friends homes before my children ever spent time in them. Sending my 13 year old off on a solo adventure would never have happened. I am with you on that.
@@tinabumbalina2602 You have no idea what she said to Justin, or about her pain and grief.

I wish him all the best in the world, and I hope all the truth comes out to protect Futuro children’s from going through whatever he went through. God bless him and his family.
He should have left before he had a child. He didn’t. He doesn’t get a pass
He was an adult when he left Justin there. He should've realized it was wrong before having children.
I agree I think when you go though Trauma and abuse like that, the adults convince you that you chose it and they also threaten you. I bet with Diddy’s known violence and murders and all his powerful friends adds even more punch to that threat.

Well, well, well... Jordan Peterson is a brilliant clinical psychologist. Hundreds of Thousands have been blessed by his lectures and his self improvement course.
Mikhaila is an up and coming intellectual, I hope she will turn a little bit more conservative still, and ultimately, that both Jordan Peterson and his beautiful daughter will get to know Jesus Christ and become His followers.
Hey Candace, love the show just want to help with the dependence vs addiction argument, they are two different things. if your doctor who’s the professional prescribes you a benzodiazepine for six months and you take it as prescribed and do not abuse it but you physically become dependent on it and actually have to detox off of it. You would not be considered an addict, now if that same person was prescribed benzodiazepine for six months, abused their prescription and ran out after two months. They would be an addict so so there is a difference in behavior there? I hope this message finds you, again I’m a fan love the show keep up the awesome content
Agreed
Absolutely agree. It’s irrelevant what you call it, addiction is addiction.
Right, in rehab they’d call that minimizing and distancing yourself from the situation. Look, Xanax is more addictive than heroin, it’s truly a demonic drug, overuse makes otherwise calm people angry, defensive and violent, like out of their minds. I know a guy who went into a house of an ex and shot up the place- he’s dead now, a senior in high school.. Another guy wrecked into a car, backed up and did it again and again..and again. A mother I know took it and passed out on more than one occasion. Other times she’d take off and leave her toddlers alone in the house. The children, who are autistic, had to move in with their grandmother. What kind of doctor gives this to a single mother of autistic toddler twins?? It’s running rampant because doctors are getting paid or luxury perks to prescribe it. There are rap artists like Lil Xan X and countless songs devoted to the drug, or casually mentioned. It’s a diabolical plan to keep us in bondage and it’s evil to its core. Jordan Peterson is probably back on this drug because he’s acting like it- angry, defensive and violent, he’s just got this resentment, I see why, he’s been through a lot but we are commanded to forgive and let go of resentment= generational demons are borne of resentment, it’s something that affects every aspect of our lives for the rest of our lives if we stuff it down. It’s something cannot truly process alone so we must give it to the Holy Spirit, let go and let God. Jordan talks about Jesus but does so with anger and vengeance toward those who have wronged him and that’s the opposite of Jesus. I can always tell when Peterson, someone Ive come to admire and enjoy learning from, is going through a demonic attachment issue. He starts squinting his eyes, frowning, interrupting, talking over people, taking over the conversation without listening. And his movements are pensive, uptight and jerky- more than his normal. He’s quick to anger, his tone of voice is…well just different..his ego gets the better of him- the clothes get a lot flashier, he acts a bit more pompous, his daughter starts running to defend him. When you know you know. By the way, she looks just like a young Christina Applegate. Look I’m a daddy’s girl, I get it, but he’s in the public eye, it comes with the territory. And he’s quick to insult whomever he pleases so you get it thrown back at you sometimes, let it humble you, don’t double down. And defending her dad does Peterson a disservice, he’s supposed to be dangerous. Dangerous men don’t need their little girls out there slaying their dragons for them. I pray God will be with Jordan and his amazing family. He will be fine, probably better for it.
I would save the term "dependence" for situations like heart medication, emergency asthma medication, or insulin in type-1 diabetes.

@@callalilly1988 You're both correct; not every dependence is addiction. HOWEVER, the one is question WAS.

Candace, your anti-big-pharma series on the daily wire saved me. My healthy, happy, beautiful 14-month-old thanks you!
My understanding of an addict verses a dependent is that an addict abuses their prescription and a dependent takes their prescription as instructed but when its time to come off that medication they have sever side effects making it difficult to come off the medication
"when its time to come off that medication they have sever side effects making it difficult to come off the medication" this is the part that leads people to becoming addicts (the mental aspect), withdrawal is a very painful experience and they would rather avoid it, they keep on taking the drug to the point the normal dose they use is no longer working (intolerance) , that's where the abuse comes in and they take higher doses of the drug, some people might even seek stronger opioid meds as alternative
Honestly what I a can advise any addict is to start to pray if u are Christian start going to church more for am a Muslim I was addicted to alcohol drinking for 365 days what I did started going to mosque avoid bad company no staying out at night after job home never used any kind of medication am happy my family are happy
Not every addict started abusing their meds. Some were what you call dependent, and then lost their meds.
oh yes! good explanation! only JP would know the answer to whether he took more than prescribed at times and ran out of meds early. that would contribute to a tough time all the way around.
@@Ichigo911but benzos are very different from opioids
As someone who works in the field and someone who was a benzo addict, benzos are different from any other psych med the way that oxycodone or morphine are different from other pain meds like Tylenol. Benzo withdrawal doesn’t just affect your state of mind, it can cause seizures and go days or weeks without eating or sleeping. There’s a fine line between dependence and addiction and anyone on benzos for a period of time is physically addicted, their body is physically addicted to that drug. Coming off an antidepressant can cause depression and some anxiety but that’s the worst of it. Coming off benzos can literally make you feel like you’re losing your mind.
Dependence is addiction. Your body is physically ADDICTED to the drug and is DEPENDENT on it to function.
The Diddy trial is Right AroNnd the corner
I appreciate you sharing this truth. Benzos are no joke and I bet most of these celebs are on them. The anxiety they have is probably off the charts. I mean it was clear as day both Hillary and Kamala are on one. I better say “allegedly” although anyone with any knowledge can spot it. Many mass pew pews have shown to be on them at some point. This stuff is straight poison.
Congratulations on your sobriety!!❤🎉 Im so happy you are helping others!! God Bless!
worse withdrawal, right? are benzos commonly prescribed? sounds like a nightmare, worse than opioid or maybe even alcohol.
@@General_Junkie except people who are dependent don't seek out drugs in the same way addicts do. The urge to use is non-existent therefore they are NOT the same.
God bless Candace Owens for always saying the truth😊🙏
Love you Candace. Literally can not wait for the weekends to be over so you post again lol. I am an addict. I have been in recovery for over 7 years now, after suffering in active addiction for 15 years. It is a very thin line distinguishing a difference between "addiction" and "dependence" because in MOST cases, they look exactly the same.
However
It is POSSIBLE to become dependent and not be an addict in my opinion.
My belief of this is because addiction is an illness of the brain. So, in my situation and MANY addicts that I know, we knew we were addicts way before we ever put a substance into our body, as well as, it doesn't really matter what it is, I can overuse and abuse anything. drugs, sex, money, food, work. There just seems to be a broken off button, I just want more and more of it.
Where as, someone like my father who has had severe injuries has been prescribed opiates for years. He is absolutely dependent on them, which, looks the same as addicted in the way that if he does not take them, he will suffer the withdrawal that anybody will go thru when your body is dependent on those drugs.
The difference though is that he has been on a low dose, that I KNOW can not be working well after all of these years, but he has never taken more than what he is prescribed and has never gone up in dose. He doesn't have the mental compulsion part that seems to be the key factor in an addict brain.
Once I start, my mind will literally think of nothing else. I want it, I want it now, and I want as much of it as possible.
Sadly though, this distinction between "addiction" and "dependence" had given MANY addicts a false sense of reality, believing that they are in fact not addicts which will keep them sick and suffering.
Like I said
Very thin line
And from what I've seen, VERY few people who are just dependent and not also addicts
Well said
Omg if you mentally, physically, or emotionally DEPEND on a medication that was prescribed by your doctor it is an addiction. Be very wary whenever the medical community creates any new words. They lost me at “breakthrough pain.”
I'm addicted to percocet for 9 years next week. It's evil but I'm down to 3 pills a week from 36 a day. ❤❤❤❤❤hope you are healthy and happy
So would you say a diabetic who is dependent on their medication to live is now addicted to it 🤔
See the distinction?
That wasn't hard to smash the flaw in your logic, which is why they are not synonymous terms in all aspects.

Candace, I’m an addict that’s in my recovery. Everything you said was spot on. And I’m so happy you didn’t fold. She is trying to protect her father and I completely respect that. However, addiction is addiction and deep down, she knows that truth. That’s why she gets so offended by you honestly. I pray Dr.Jordon Peterson and his family heal and get better. I love him and always have. Addict doesn’t mean you lack worth. It’s something to learn from.
I’m a recovering heroin “dependent” lol. But the scenario you spelled out about the process of going from prescriptions to the streets is exactly what happened to me. And it’s an addiction
Saying someone who is dependent on Benzos isn’t addicted to benzos is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. Benzos are actually more addictive than heroin. It’s one of the only addictions that can kill you if you quit cold turkey. Alcohol is the other.
I'm glad you mentioned alcohol. People don't know how harmful it can be.
Except psychiatrists rarely mention these facts.
Addiction is a synonym of dependence. To say someone is "dependent" sounds more polite. To say "Addict" sounds more brash, BUT, at the end of the day, they both say the same thing...."you have a problem!"
Facts!!!
Yes, a problem but not necessarily an addiction. People self medicate with alcohol for instance when they have issues that seem insurmountable. Doctors are very careful these days before labelling people and prescribing unnecessary medication. When what they need is help sorting they’re problems out. Believe me I know, coz it happened to me. It took a while to turn my life around but I’m medication and alcohol free. 🤷
It’s this. 👌🏾
Are diabetics addicted to insulin?
DANG! You get better and better. I’m so grateful for your knowledge, passion, and dedication. I always learn from the time I spend listening to you.
Candace you’re right! If you have a therapist on speed dial, it’s a dependence. If you don’t, it’s an addiction. You always keep it real ❤
You can become physically dependent on certain medications. Not addicted. Your body stops producing/functioning on its own. It depends on the medication to facilitate/produce things. Linzess for ibs-c warns your body can forget how to make a bowel movement.
So, an addiction
Great episode! I agree with you regarding dependence vs addiction. Michaela says that the 'dependence' withdrawal causes suicidal thought or even people acting on those feelings whis is a pretty drastic behavior change! It's like poor people are crazy while rich people are eccentric
I’ve been through benzo withdrawal, coupled with Prozac withdrawal. It was hell on Earth. Even if you weren’t suicidal before, there’s something about benzo withdrawal that makes suicidal thoughts seem to fly at you. Constant state of panic, especially in public, profuse sweating. And the withdrawal went up and down, not linear at all. Pure terror.
@StefanoCap13 it sounds horrific for sure and I'm sorry you had to go through that. Glad you are here to speak from the other side! ❤️
Exactly & pharma drug reps are just legal drug dealers.
When people think of an addict, one of the first things that comes to mind is one who is seeking a dopamine dump or hit. Most people who are prescribed benzos are seeking to neutralize their anxiety, panic attacks, muscle spasms, insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms they are suffering from. They are not looking to be prescribed a medication that will induce a pleasurable, euphoric experience like most if not all street drug addicts are chasing.
The dependency aspect comes from when one is attempting to wean or quit the pharmaceutical drug and experiences uncomfortable physical withdrawal symptoms. This is the same experience one goes through when weaning or quitting street drugs.
A crack head is initially seeking a dopamine hit. Builds a tolerance and succumbs addiction. Someone who is prescribed benzos can be the average person who is seeking a way to suppress their uncomfortable symptoms I stated earlier. And their physician has only one solution.
Benzos and crack both cause dependency, but only one causes addiction.
Why does it matter, the end goal is getting clean period. This nitpicking is pathetic on both sides. I wouldn’t care what a family member or friend called it, I’d just be happy they’re dealing with it🙄
I agree dependence and addiction is the same. Saying you have an addiction isn’t some horrible thing. So many ppl struggle with addictions.
Ur 100% correct Candace addiction= dependance= addiction and yes it changes ur behavior. It really doesn't matter which word u use to describe it. When u don't have the drug ur body is addicted to, due to ur dependence to that drug, u will do things u never thought u would do, to stop that withdrawal symptoms, and yes that includes taking other drugs to assist in masking the withdrawal. I know this all to well, as I'm happily 5years sober.🙏
Ms. Peterson needs to understand that changing the language doesn’t change the reality. Drug dependency is the same as addiction. The word “addiction” has been used derogatorily in recent decades, but at its core it still retains its original meaning. Acknowledgment of such is only offensive to her because she is approaching the subject from a purely emotional standpoint. We can’t keep manipulating language to suit our own feelings. Facts remain facts regardless of how we feel about them.
Addiction is not the same as dependence. Although it does depend on what the substance is.
No, it's literally two different experiences and two different definitions.
Its more nuanced than black and white
No it’s not. With a dependency there’s no craving, no habit. It’s that your body doesn’t function properly without the medication when you stop taking it, and in a way that’s extremely uncomfortable or dangerous.
Exactly, whether it is legal or not relying on a drug is an addiction.
Developing an addiction and developing a dependency are the same thing! Yes, addiction has been used a pejorative but now using dependency doesn’t change the tune of the song. An addiction and a dependency can occur with or without someone’s volition. They’re just playing semantics. Pompous indeed.
Candace I normally agree with you on pretty much everything and as a friend I think you need to revisit the conversation with MP. All she was saying is that her fathers issues developed from the benzos wasn't an addiction as you repeatedly called it. JP followed the doctors recommended dosage and when he wanted to stop he didn't think twice about it. Little did he know that within 48 hours his world would be turned upside down. That's not because he had an addiction but because his body developed a physical dependency. They're worse than opiates. Words do matter and some may argue it's the same but in his case it's not.
Many people become addicts the same way. Doctors don't spend time educating patients on this.
EXACTLY, and " I'm, sorry you offended" is such an insincere, bad faith excuse
Totally agree!
I agree with you. In general I back Candace but I don’t think she’s right or that she understands what Mikhaila was getting at. Makes me think she’s got something personal against the Petersons. Which is not my business but Mikhaila was so right when she called out Candace for acting like a mean girl. Candace, you definitely DID laugh about it in the original video. The half ass non-apology proved her insincerity and inability consider there could be some nuance to this (completely irrelevant) addiction debate.
I respect both of these ladies and cringed hard watching them spat like 2 popular high school girls. Neither of them effectively got their points across but Candace was certainly louder and more obnoxious so she took the win.
Also as an immigrant and JP’s daughter OF COURSE both topics of discussion are going to be soft spots for Mikhaila. So it did come across as more of an attack than a debate.
Facts 💯 you spot on this issue of addiction bs dependency. Let’s face it reassign of harmful or bad as good is what is killing our society .
That Gen Z stuff was hilarious 😂😂
I’m a Gen X’er so I can totally appreciate some spiciness and sarcasm….love to see it!
I don’t understand either Candace. When did addiction turn into dependence? I grew up with the word addiction. Now that this “dependence” is affecting people in the suburbs we want to change the terminology. This is wild!!!
Right, he’s an addict! She needs to accept her dad is a druggie!
Its just word games so that big pharma can make more treatment chems or prescriptions for people who would never otherwise claim the unsavory title of Addict.
Addiction is percieved more like a phisical thing, dependence is more subtile, it relates with emotions...
You’re just too ignorant to understand the difference.
I always understood dependence to be a physical medical diagnosis if you are dependent you will have physical withdrawal . Addiction is mental and physical but doesn't need to be physical. I used to be a drug and alcohol counselor.
Love your loyalty and support of Kanye.
But what’s up with him and his wife?
Stupidnkidz with tantrum is magic boss
Parents should understand tht video no turnoff
Live on
Mean?
That's call death note, guyss
I really like Kanye too. But can't figure out why he and his wife feel the need to show her off close to naked all the time?
@gimmietoast Exactly. She is a desperate hypocrite who really wants to be a part of the crown she speaks down on..I see right through her resentful ways.
@gimmietoast I do not get that she is friends with him and she says nothing about the way his wife looks sometimes on photos, almost naked and kind of lost.
Maybe she’s waiting for him to snap out of it.
She knows his potential and how he’s been messed with and targeted.
But it is such a bad look, seeing that Aussie woman like that 🤮
Like Kanye goes for the worst.
I will definitely pray for Justin. I am very proud of him and hopeful that he will continue to grow strong, do what is right for himself, protect and take care of his family.
So, as a nurse here, to help you understand a bit ....dependence really doesnt mean addiction every time. The 2 words have been used interchangeably a lot in the past by addiction centers, ERs, medical centers and psych wards, and usually medical people know which is which, and which isnt! Ms. Peterson has a point, but not in her favor because she didnt explain it very well to the audience. With addiction, the patient wants to take the drug, because their brain is telling them they need the drug to get that dopamine to be happy again. They physically, mentally and emotionally crave the med. If they are recovering long enough and the physical and emotional cravings have subsided, they will still have a mental craving. theres always gonna be a little piece of their brain reminding them they want the drug, so its a mental fight to stay clean every day. With the type of dependence she mentioned, there is a totally diff physiological process in play. The patients may have been put on the med for short term because of a manic episode. They dont want to take the med, & they arent addicted to the med in the sense that they crave taking it. However, if they stop taking it all of a sudden, (the usual reason is because they dont want to take it anymore because it makes them feel bad), it can cause severe physiological problems, like electrolyte imbalances in their brain that can put them in a coma, & if not caught right away can cause brain damage or death. It can cause them to feel like absolute crap, with flu like symptoms, dizziness, headaches, etc. Other sudden stop issues can cause kidney or adrenal crises, possible liver enzyme elevation, pancreatitis, maybe vomiting and other serious issues ive not heard about yet. Im not a psych nurse but i deal with neurological disorders and brain tumors. If you dont understand the physiological crises of drug dependence due to these meds, then it does sound a lot like addiction, except the mental craving to take the meds is not there, so its not a mental battle for the person to stop them. An example of non-narcotic medication dependence is when a person takes an oral steroid. It has to be tapered off because your adrenal glands could go into crisis mode. There are a couple handfuls of anti-depressants (non-narcotic) and non benzo psych meds that have to be tapered off slowly because your body could hurt or kill you if you dont taper, like the steroids i mentioned. I do believe you said the right thing to Ms. Peterson, because Dr. Peterson said he had benzo dependency issues, which admittedly sounds more like a description of addiction (imho). You are both right, but she didnt explain her argument well enough to make sense, so you are more right because of the nuance of the situation. I just wanted to let you know there is a very important difference in the 2 words that can be very tricky when making an argument. I love your show and watch you everyday!
BS
@@SuperSeytan666so what is YOUR “PROFESSIONAL” advice regarding the mental health definition DIFFERENCE between “addiction” & “dependence”?
Genuine question not trying to argue for arguments sake. If a meth, crack, LSD, or fentanyl addict is considered an addict because they have to have the drug to cope and function in their day to day lives. Why aren't people that after years of taking prescription medications who can't stop, not only for the health complications, but because said drug helps them cope and function in their day to day lives? You can die from alcohol withdrawals. Alcohol is one of the worst withdrawal processes. So to say that it's a dependency because you have to taper them off sounds disingenuous at best. People that are addicted to street drugs also have to go through a detox protocol because stopping cold turkey can be very dangerous as well it isn't just benzos or other opiates.
As someone who HAS suffered with both addiction, AND dependency issues, you are 100% correct in your explanation. For example, I'm 39 years old now but I began having foot surgeries at age 12. Since then, I've had roughly 15 foot surgeries (both feet due to a defect in how my bones grew), 2 hip surgeries ( bone grafts to place in my feet for fusion), 2 MAJOR back surgeries (3 spinal cord stimulators), 1 knee surgery, and a hysterectomy. I'm currently in need of a fusion and decompression surgery in at least 2 disc's in my neck, but I'm trying to put filter off for as long as possible. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in both legs and arms (which is rare to have it in so many places and if you don't know what the disorder is, look it up - it's devastating). I have arthritis and bone spurs in my feet, knees, hips, facet joints (low back), mid and upper back, shoulders, and hands.
From a young age I was placed on narcotic pain medications, and when my mother informed my doctor that I had a family history of addiction, my doctors assured her that there was minimal risk. While these medications admittedly allowed me to live an active life, they were also slowly killing me. I had to take stronger and stronger medications, until I was eventually prescribed Fent@nyl patches. Eventually, that wasn't enough, and I went to the streets, which evolved into a full-blown H addiction. Fortunately, I made it out and have been off of it for over 10 years now and while I have had to take narcotics for short periods of time over the years due to various operations, I haven't gone back. THAT IS A DESCRIPTION OF ADDICTION.
Additionally, I've suffered with extremely serious treatment-resistant depression throughout my entire life for as long as I can remember. I've been on every medication under the sun, I've been a part of testing new medications that aren't available yet, I've done ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy, or "shock therapy"), I've seen specialists and therapists galore, and at the end of the day nothing helps. I've made multiple attempts to unalive myself; the first at age 12. At one point about a year and a half ago, I was taking upwards of 30 pills a day in an effort to combat both my mental and physical pain. The medications are heavy hitters, and admittedly, I do still take Lyrica to help with my pain. With that said, I've been tapering my medications for about a year now, with the ultimate goal being that I'm off all prescription medications. I'm currently down to taking only 3 prescription medications. I'm tapering off my medications bc I do NOT want to be on them anymore; I want my body to have a "fresh start", so I'm can see what all medications I might ACTUALLY NEED. If I taper too quickly, I feel awful. THIS IS PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE.
@maggiehernandez7215 There are no LSD addicts, doesn't work that way.
Candace...please interview Jaguar Wright♥
I'd love that!
Please don't
Nah.. too unhinged that 1
No, that woman is an unhinged loud mouth liar
To be interviewed by Candace you first have to be a CREDIBLE person. She lacks that and more...😅
There is no difference between addiction and dependence. Dependence is the direct cause of addiction. I’m a recovering heroin and benzo addict, have been for almost 7 years now and I’ve thought deeply about this. Funnily enough I am now trying to get off the Suboxone and Gabapentin that my rehabs put me on. Yes, they helped me but I feel I was lied to by multiple medical professionals when I was told they were not addicting when I asked. When I asked I was implying “am I going to be sick mentally & physically when I eventually want to come off these” and they told me no. Actually Gabapentin was called a “miracle drug” less than 10 years ago by my doctors and everywhere on the internet. Had I known what I know now I would of never have gotten on these meds. They use this dependence term to avoid being sued by the millions of people they told these drugs weren’t addicting too. Too bad Jordan’s daughter hasn’t seen this yet. Don’t trust doctors. Eat healthy, meditate, exercise, take vitamins and learn as much as you can about herbs and holistic healing like Ayurveda etc.
Watching the part from Howard Stern show with Usher talking about being 13 and living at Diddy's house ... Made me sick 🤢 he wasn't "having a good time", he was being subjected to SRA and forced to live with a bunch of PDF files
Thank you for the additional comment about Mikayla Peterson! I watched that debate and laughed out loud when she tried to say that she and her dad weren’t addicts! That’s Exactly what an addiction is, a dependence on a drug! My father & brother(both doctors) and myself were all addicted to pain medications for legitimate diagnoses, but that did not mean we were not addicts! She sounded absurd and yes, pompous. All of us have been clean for 15+ years now. Btw, we are all on board with you about big pharma and vaccines. More & more people are waking up to all the bs our government has lied to us about.
Love your show! (I’m also a Tennessean😉)
Yeah I realized years ago the whole Peterson clan is messed up.
Maybe I'm actually Canadian because I think there is a difference between those who CHOOSE addiction and those who are blindsided into it. The addiction is the same, yes. The intentions are NOT. It's like a guy who drugs a girl's drink, rapes her and tells all their friends they are a couple because they had sex. Yes...there was sex. But did the girl have a choice after being drugged and raped??? Nope! That's the point everyone seems to be missing.
So insulin dependant diabetics are addicts? People on antihypertensive are addicts? People using cardiac meds daily are addicts? No only those who need brain meds....so tired of unfair labels when it comes to the treatment of the organ the brain and nervous system when no other organ in the body is labeled or shamed for being medically treated!
I agree with you (Nashvillian here)
Which is kind of funny because Jordan Peterson’s big thing was to always tell the truth but is lying to himself on this one
Sorry, Candance, but you're NOT getting it. She is speaking about the dangers of withdrawal from Psych Meds. There is no desire to use or abuse the psych meds or to go to the streets to buy street drugs. They are genuinely speaking about the horrible and death causing withdrawal symptoms when you're trying to stop taking Psych meds.
Exactly!
I love Candace but she’s really not getting it. I think it comes down to her never experiencing psych meds. She thinks it’s a money thing and she’s not “rich” enough. Like her and husband aren’t millionaires🙄
Benzo withdrawal is dangerous. Also, Jordan sought higher doses to deal with the stress during his wife's cancer, and he should have known withdrawal must be made with care. These things can both be true at the same time. Jordan made two choices, in which the term "behavior" is implicit: seeking higher doses and stopping cold turkey just because they weren't working as well anymore.
A silver lining is that it brought attention to benzo withdrawal, but it doesn't make his options any less misguided.
@@NicOrtiz-w9z It seems to me that it is rather interesting that so many in the 1st world need to (maybe need is not the correct word) take psych meds, I guess the lack of physical problems requires an imaginative replacement. 🤔
Whether you desire to use it or if you abuse it….. needing the drug (for whatever reason) it is an addiction…. That’s what Candace is saying. Ppl are getting hung up because now they are trying to change the meanings of words……
Addiction is addiction. When Mikhaila said “If you’re on a psych med long term you form a dependence and it’s very difficult to get off.” I literally screamed at my phone THAT’S AN ADDICTION! 😅
Sorry dependents is not a psychological addiction.
that means anyone who takes a daily medication, for any reason, that would cause any amount of discomfort if they went without the medication is addicted. that's goofy.
@@jewel88846Bullshit it's all the same, I'd love to hear your dumb ideas elaborating further on the difference between the 2 words. Are you aware that his "dependence" was so bad he elected to go to Russia to be put in a coma to avoid the withdrawals?
Pierce showed the clip of your show where you were talking about Jordan's addiction and you WERE LAUGHING in that clip. How can you say you weren't laughing? You were right before our eyes. You should apologize.
Ugh. I had to withdraw from my anti-depressant & sleep meds. It was a horrible month of withdrawal. Was I an addict? Was I dependent? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I’m also an alcoholic. I am sober now 4 years. I do not softball this…I was a drunk! Now through the grace of God I am free. From the obsession for today. This for sure was addiction & obsession. The fact many call it a Substance Use Disorder-doesn’t change the fact that I lost my soul in a bottle for 5 years.
I salute you!🎉 That's awesome! I am also a recovering alcoholic. 🎉 One day at a time.
I’m proud of you! It is not easy, my son went through HELL breaking addiction. 28 surgeries for a birth defect (long story) been prescribed pain meds since he was 6 months old. Took years for him to break the addiction and he went to some extremes to do it but he was determined. Been sober for 3+ years. Keep spreading the message! It can be done!
Peterson changed my life back in 2018. I prayed to God for him when he was ill and sometimes still do now, but he's just not the same person since he joined DW. And I'm not blaming DW, I couldn't possibly know whether is his carnivore diet, extra money, amount of stress and haters he had to put up with - God only knows *why* he changed. All I know is what I feel in my heart now listening to him - he feels like a shadow of his former self. The man I see today I don't trust to stand up against tyranny like he taught us we should.
My friend LOVES JP I kind of liked him at first but something CHANGED and I couldn't quite put my finger on it . I don't listen to him at all and I just feel like he's soulless now . Something is just off !
Daily Zio makes many people evil
Feel the same way
as a muslim it was shocking how DW and JP has treated the Palestine and Israel issue. I can’t listen to them anymore
same, it feels soo hypocritical when he says he is against ab0rt1oN but supports isnothell's acts towards innocent people, especially kids is insane and kinda funny @@squidward1984
Candace I believe you were spot on about her father! You weren't being insensitive and were simply stating facts. She couldn't handle the truth bc it is her dad. Even when you made a valid point, she only heard what irritated her and nothing else. She made no sense, but then went on to speak down to you as if you have no knowledge of addiction. You handled that gracefully like always!
It was maybe the lack of empathy, the odd laughter of Candace that irritated her.
And rightfully so.
@@batadamhuman2053 It’s difficult to show empathy when in a debate and the other person is clearly heated and condescending. Candace has explained many times that when she’s pregnant she doesn’t take bs. I also don’t think Candace owes anyone empathy when she’s simply doing her job by covering a topic. It’s true that wealthy people don’t own up to having addictions or it’s simply not spoken about or swept under the rug. The problem needs to be addressed no matter how they got there. Whether intentional or not. My prayers go up to all addicts.
I'm with u Candace, addicts/dependence is someone on & taking drugs. Instead of arguing what it's called, we should band together to end drugs. No more pharma.
You are so reasonable and level-headed. I am glad I found out about you through my Catholic faith .May The Lord watch over you always.
Addiction implies abuse of a drug. Dependence is a need for a medication to treat a medical condition. One of my medications for epilepsy is controlled because it can create a dependence with withdrawal symptoms if stopped, but it is a medication that nobody would abuse.
Thank you!! This was my point:
A diabetic is dependent on their insulin to survive...does this now entail that they are addicted?
Obviously the answer is NO.
@@emotional_anarchisthowever, with benzos you are definitely addicted
@rosyapplekitchen635 agreed. Having been through addiction myself and abusing benzos. However I can completely understand being prescribed them and not knowing that's the case. Believing they are just like any other mental health medicine. Thats all. And Candace is framing this all like he is an addict which isn't the case. That's the part people are offended by
@@rosyapplekitchen635 not necessarily. Benzos do have a legitimate place in medicine that is not just to cause addiction. They work well for acute panic attacks and will stop seizures. They work well short term for anxiety disorders until another prescribed medication can take full effect or the root cause of the anxiety is found and treated. While benzos are abused, people who are prescribed and take them appropriately are not addicts.
Just passed my five year mark of sobriety and I'd like to say one of my best friends started off on pain killers, now does any street drug you can think of.
Any addict has developed a dependence on their drug. That's what makes them addicted...
Dependency is addition. Drug addicts are dependent on their drug of choice so they don’t get sick because withdrawal is hell to go through. I’ve seen someone go through it and it’s hell.
I think what Mikhalia was trying to say is that her dad depends on the meds, like someone with type 1 diabetes or someone with asthma. They don’t necessarily want to take it or crave it. But if they don’t take it, their bodies won’t function well.
That's exactly what addiction is!
You actually think people who are addicted to heroin or meth truly want to be addicted to it or truly want to crave it?
There's NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY ON PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION!
The only difference is that prescription medication that someone is addicted to is prescribed legally by their doctor!
Same for any drugs. Even if you don't wanna take it you are forced by the body cravings. It's a form of addiction or dependance whatever you wanna call it.
@@deed5909doesnt work like that. Your body csn have a natural decline in something, or brain chemistry. Doesnt make you an addict
@ I mean it’s not an argument or back and forth. That’s just how I think she interprets the situation. She looked so frustrated like she wasn’t getting her thoughts out right. And yes I do think the drug addicts crave it. It makes them have a feeling of ecstasy. It’s an escape. Changes their mood.
That’s not what dependency means.
Great show!,, loved the section w/ Makhaila and it was definitely giving "Addiction is for the poors" 💯💯💯 And it's totally OK to disagree, always civilly.
Good for Justin Bieber recovering his life!! I hope God guides his steps and God draws real friends into his life. Prayers for that young man.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Amen 🙏 ❤🙏 ❤🙏 ❤
Seeing a few of the last Justin Bieber interviews made me so sad for him. He looks broken. And he's so young! Justice for Justin and all the young people of Hollywood ❤
Calling your addiction a "dependancy" is a classic symptom of addiction: denial.
You got addicted to drugs, get over yourself
Can’t click fast enough when I see a new Candace video! ❤ thank you beautiful lady for your work and may you and your family be blessed 🙏🇺🇸
Me either. Candace is washing dirty laundry!!❤❤❤❤
Also I was a benzo and heroin addict and I’ve been sober from those things for over 10 years, but the withdrawals were very different. With the heroin, the worst of it was over in 3 days to a week. With benzos, it took 2 weeks before I could eat or sleep longer than a half hour at a time. Also benzos are “acceptable” and the stigma is less and there are legit reasons to take them (preferably not every day to avoid dependency), so unless you can admit that an addiction is an addiction whether it’s benzos or heroin or porn etc. then you prob won’t stay clean because you won’t think you have a problem
I had the same opposite experience! Wasn’t addicted to herion but painkillers they put me on suboxone! Never once had a withdrawal from Xanax, other than a bit ill or snappy, but the suboxone was a whole different experience and devil it’s self! Point is everyone’s bodies are different!
No that was the heroin withdrawal. I just got off Suboxone which I was prescribed to get off my illegal use of Oxy and Hydro’s. I had to be tapered off Suboxone from 16mg a day to 2mg a day. Took almost a year. Then when I finally stopped the 2mg, I had the typical flu like symptoms, cold chills yawning constantly, eyes watering etc. for a week, but by far the worst symptoms were the diarrhea and insomnia. The insomnia lasted 2 weeks, I was prescribed everything to help me sleep and the only thing that worked was Ambien. The Diarrhea lasted a little over a month! About a month and half. If you were on Heroin I’d think your withdrawal would be a lot more intense than mine and definitely last longer than three days. I can’t say I believe you
This is a great point. Antidepressants and benzos are different. Benzos, like certain pain meds, may be needed on an as-needed basis. Antidepressants are not gateway drugs, but benzos & pain meds are.
@@GwenStefaniGuild Opiate withdrawals can vary from person to person, and also the length of use matters, the size of doses, the consumption method they used. Also different opiates have different half lives, and Suboxone was designed to last 24 hours in your system, so it has a much longer half life than heroin, the half life in heroin is a few hours. Suboxone and Methadone were designed to help people quit opiate addiction, the idea was to help the addict last 24 hours without withdrawal
My family suffers from many addictions, and my husband is currently 6 years sober from alcohol. He spent 16 years working in a Christian rescue mission, helping men overcome their life crippling addictions and homelessness. Addiction/substance use disorder is the same thing, new name. Coming off of Rx drugs is extremely dangerous, and you become addicted. Being accountable and admitting only God can change you is the first step towards wholeness and sobriety. Keep up the great work, Candace!
I agree with Candace. An addiction is an addiction whether it be an addiction due to certain foods, doctor prescribed medication, or a street drug. How and why an addiction came about will vary and is important, but they are all addictions. Certainly, there are ppl who suffer more harm and have greater hurdles to battle if sobriety is to be had than others.
I have to say it……
WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN⁉️⁉️
We are on the precipice of something very very dark.
Prepare your hearts and minds….and pray!
I’ve loved JP! Those tweets were ridiculous! As nurse who worked at a Methadone clinic. Rx’s are usually where addiction starts in a lot of cases. She loves her Dad. But I see nothing wrong with what you said.
It’s so sad what Justin went through. God definitely has a plan for his life and I pray for his healing. 😢😢😢 Those coming up in Hollywood now, should take heed and Run! Run! Run!
Candace your facial expressions 😫😂🤣 during Ushers account...Class! 😅
I absolutely support & salute you 🙌🏽
You are 1 of 1.
In Strength & Solidarity 💚
Dependency is an addiction.
Thin skin doesn't help to conquer it.
Fancy descriptions only blur the fact that you are an addict, and that prevents you from facing the truth.
I'm sorry but I have diabites type 1 and Im depending on insulin, if I don't use it I will die literally. So calling that the all dependent medication is wrong because we don't want to get insulin all life we want to live normal but we need to in order to live. So saying that dependency is addiction is a realy selfish and not thinking about other and others feeling that someone who is sick you call him addict.
Thats a stupid thing to say u cant be addicted to medication that you need to stay alive...dont think anyone would call someone on insulin an addict
@@milkyway11059 diabites is different story. there is a lack of insulin in your body, and in order for you to stay alive you have to get daily dose of it.
In case of benzo-dependency person is craving the drug even though this drug is HARMFUL to him. The drug is destroying his life. Do you see the difference?
Drug dependency, substance abuse, drug addiction is all the same thing. The body is addicted to a particular drug, regardless of what that is. People who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, etc are referred to as addicts, so why should the rich, famous, elites and those who believe they above others, try to distance themselves from those who they see as below them. Sick of all the word salad, alternate words, etc by these people. Addiction is when the body is wanting/demanding the substance, so dependency is exactly the same thing, your body wants its fix. I feel for those who have any type of addiction.
Addiction also implies/indicates misuse of a medication or drug, dependency does not.
