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 !
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.
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 🫶🏽
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. 🌟 💖🌟
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 🥰
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’s 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.
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!
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 🙏
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!
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.
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.❤
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.
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!
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.
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🙄
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!❤
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.🙏
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.
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
@@emotional_anarchistThat's not at all what chemical dependency means. I'm not sure if you're gaslighting, or truly didn't know that. Usually, I judge, but as a biology professor, I know for a fact that many people truly don't know that "dependence" does not mean "dependence". Essentially, these are two words that are the same, but with different meanings. What is only used in the hard science discipline. The other is used in daily language.
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.
Recovering drug addict and alcoholic here🙋🏻♂️ I see what Jordan is trying to say, by saying he was Benzo “dependent” he means he didn’t abuse it, but he took it everyday. Take it from someone who has been on Xanax, and other drugs (street) and abused alcohol - needing something everyday, means you’re addicted, i don’t care if it’s the same amount everyday. Saying “dependent” is disingenuous, you don’t “depend” on Xanax like you depend on an inhaler, or heart medication. I think Jordan is brilliant, but I don’t understand why his daughter is on Piers Morgan. I never got on the Mikhaila Peterson boat, never understood why her father’s fame should make her impressive, or qualified on anything. Good for her though 🤷🏻♂️
I just don't agree with this. I used to take anxiety meds, Zoloft. I took it daily as I am prescribed. If I miss couple of days, i get the withdraw symptoms as it is an SSRI drug and your brain becomes chemically "dependant" on it. That is why you need to tapper off of these drugs the correct way. What makes this different than an addiction would be that after I tapered off of the medication, I didnt feel i NEEDED the medication, I didn't have the need to go back to this perscription, this didn't get me high, I wasn't feigning for it. I went on with my life. I didn't have to go to therapy help fix my addiction to zoloft. Makes no sense.
@ I get what you’re saying with SSRI’s and agree, but your brain was altered chemically from it, and your brain depended on it chemically, I’ve been on them, I know what you mean, but Xanax is mind altering (you can get high) I’m sure his (Jordan’s) tolerance went up, and so did his dosage. It wasn’t just chemical, he was getting a nice buzz. He’s a psychologist he knew he could get addicted to them, there’s no addiction risk with Prozac or Zoloft. It sounds like he’s tryin to dress up his Benzo addiction and idk why, there’s no shame in it, he wasn’t smoking crack.
I’m glad you explained this as it’s exactly what I was thinking. I just couldn’t put it into words as well as you did. He’s being extremely disingenuous.
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
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
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
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 was in the hospital for 2 weeks and I was on pain medication. When I was released I was going through major withdrawal. My body had become DEPENDENT. My mom who was out seeking her opioids in the 80’s was an addict. People who look for a high are addicts. People who start due to an illness whether mental or physical gain a dependency. It’s a side effect. Yes dependency can lead to addiction but not everyone becomes an addict.
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.
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.
As a gen Z when I woke up yesterday and saw red note was number one app it made my day. I just kept laughing at the thought of the government freaking out as we all defy them😂
You’re not defying them. You’re falling into the trap of being forced to leave an app where you had free speech and Jewish / Israeli supremacy and crimes were getting exposed - and you’re moving onto an app where Israel now has control of the narrative. Again.
Hey Candace I’m a Gen Z Australian. I just turned 22 a few days ago and have been following you for a bit over a year. I love your work!!!!! I also bought tickets for my partner and I to attend your show in Sydney. Hoping And praying that Tony Burke changes his mind!!!!!!!
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!
@@1999___ although i somewhat agree, she's probably smarter than you i bet. I just don't like they way she presents some of the information. the drama of it all.
It’s my understanding Dependancy is different than Addiction, and we can all agree there is Stigma with the word addiction so we have to be careful when using this, to be fair.
Candace I agree in part with her that some people just can’t get off of medications because their body is dependent on it, they don’t want to be on it but it’s extremely difficult to get off because of the withdrawals. These people aren’t seeking a high they’re only seeking to not go through hell to get off of it. It’s not pompous it’s reality. The sad part is there are ways to get off it but the us government has them all banned.
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
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. 🤷
And him posting porno photos of her and starting his own porno company. Ye is Candace’s one famous friend, so she’s hanging on to him for dear life but is completely ok belittling and showing disgust to others that do what Ye does. She’s a hypocrite.
@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.
Candace - I have Primary Restless Leg Syndrome and have had it since I was 10yrs old. I am dependent on a synthetic opioid to control my legs and now my arms as it gets worse with age and can move to other limbs. Primary means it was inherited from a parent. I inherited it from my father. He was undiagnosed and self medicated until his death from a drug overdose. I don’t drink, smoke nor have I done any other drugs. However, without this medication I would have jumped from a very tall building long ago. The difference between dependence and addiction is that I’m dependent on a drug that removes the infuriating creepy crawly feeling under my skin that forces me to constantly move my legs and arms for relief. It makes it impossible to sleep without medication. I’ve tried sleeping standing up many times…it’s not possible. You can NOT live without sleep. I’m dependent on a drug for something that I cannot control. I am not a drug addict. There is a difference.
Have you tried kratom? It is "addictive" but it works for pain better than anything else. It's a natural painkiller. But your body will definitely withdraw. It works.
Candice I did something today I've never done before. I listen to the entire hearing for Pete Hegseth. What an exhausting experience in smear campaigning that was. I did not see one Democrat on that bench that I would vote for! They either smeared him or tried to put him in a box with his answers of yes or no, so that they could blackmail him with it later. I think that you are the only one that can present a fair report on those in Congress and the house! I think we got to make this fair, and put everybody skeletons out on the table, so that we can get rid of this nonsense that I watched today! I feel that 50% of it was a waste of the American people's money, and people like me that wanted to watch, a waste of my time! I can see how these hearings could be beneficial for the American people, but to listen to smears for half of that time was ridiculous! There's only one game that I will play on my phone, because I won't pay for it, and I spend more time listening to commercials to get points in order to play. That is how I felt about listening to this hearing today. I spent more time listening to garbage then I did listening to meaningful conversation. Please please please consider looking into skeletons. Once everybody skeletons are out on the table, then maybe we can get down to business.
This is a much larger conversation. There is a cycle of abuser abusing and creating a victim and then the victim may abuse others and then the latest victim abuses somebody else. This is a cycle. Outing the abusers that are probably victims themselves isn’t solving the problem of the abuse in society. The question is how to stop the cycle?
Right? Why does Justin get a pass but usher doesn’t? He was molested by the industry too . They all will pay eventually. Judgement day comes for all of us. I was molested as a child and beat but I don’t do that to others…. People make choices .
I agree with your cycle of abuse comment but I don’t believe in not calling out the abusers. People who are abused aren’t forced to do the same to others. It’s a choice, just like any crime. In my opinion, the whole thing needs to be blown open and everyone needs to see what’s actually happening, especially in Hollywood, where so many of the youths are idolizing these people and consuming their products which has an effect on their psyche as well. Plus it will bring awareness to this cycle of the abused becoming the abuser, and those abused become abusers, and so on. So many parents don’t know how to recognize this pattern. We need to normalize having these conversations since it’s so prevalent in society as a whole.
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!
CANDACE, YOU DID LAUGH. The clip clearly shows that when Jordan said he couldn’t sleep for 25 days, you laughed. That moment was deeply disappointing. Your coverage of Jordan's struggle to break free from Benzos came across as incrediably insensitive and cruel. Not only did you trivialize his pain, but you even put it into question. Now, you're using soft rhetoric and gaslighting to make Mikhalia seem like she's overreacting simply because she’s his daughter. Shame on you, Candace. I expected better from you, but this behavior is a huge letdown.
Dependence on psych meds is not addiction. Benzos help to alleviate the strange symptoms of weaning off of these meds. However benzos wear off faster than SSRIs. I do believe Candace has good intentions in discussing this, but this might be one thing she doesn't understand well enough if she has never experienced this or on knows people who experienced this.
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.

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.
First of all Jordan Peterson has a doctorate correct. I was prescribed an unlimited supply of oxycodone when I went through a major surgery I chose to take myself off because I knew the long-term ramification and I had to take care of a one year-old child at the same tim. The pain that I suffered from upper and lower Jaw surgery was beyond anything you can imagine.. I fell asleep crying in pain many times. I spent eight days in the hospital because of the surgery and I don’t have the educational background that Mr. Peterson had. Yet I went against my own doctors orders because I knew what it was gonna do to my kidneys and liver in the long run let alone that it was an addictive drug. So did he not read the insert that usually comes with these meds that they give you and that they usually consult with you when you pick up your meds with the pharmacist.
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.
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.
There is definitely a difference from addiction and dependence. I am on prescriptions due to my physical condition and if i accidentally miss a dose, it is hell. I DO NOT or have not abused my medication like others in the neighborhood. EITHER way, i understand both points.
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.
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……
I rarely disagree with Candace but I think the Jordan Peterson conversation is a bit cruel & I can only imagine how I would feel if someone was speaking about my father in the same way. If it was me, I would have softened my delivery in the Piers interview out of respect for the delicate situation. But who am I? 😅
100% agree regarding addiction/dependency/substance abuse…whatever you want to call it it’s all the same. First step is admitting then getting help to stop the addiction/dependency/etc
I think it’s because people prescribed certain meds don’t realize their bodies will become dependent on them so they don’t even know they’ll go into terrible DTs if they stop or don’t have the meds. They aren’t necessarily seeking the meds.
That's why I feel strongly that drug dealers from the top to the bottom should Go through the law. My son had the choice to go through drug court, or prison, he chose drug court, which saved his life, and gave him the coping tools to learn to live with life! If he could not have made that change, then he did deserve to go to prison, luckily for us it took him a year and a half at drug court and he turned his life around! Drug court saved his life!
Candace, I LOVE you. Truly, but MP had a good point when she expressed disbelief that you would characterize dependence on Benzos as a gateway to Heroin use. That’s very very at odds with facts. I’m disappointed that you guys didn’t get to the guts of discussing H1B policy questions: you might not be as far apart as you think
Every citizen in every foreign country tells me the same thing when I ask why their food is so good… and cheap! “It’s a necessity”. I can’t help but laugh to explain, America charges you tax on clothing, but it’s illegal to be naked! Necessity has no place in American culture.
Spot on Candace. I also lived with an alcoholic and what I learned in Al-Anon was that if they're behaviour and they're drinking is affecting you then it's an addiction the addict doesn't get to define the addiction, the people who are impacted do
As a working pharmacist , dependance and addiction are just both words that would indicate to me as pharmacist to monitor the patient’s use of the molecule. Wether the patient steals or lies for their benzodiazepines (many do) or they can’t stop them suddenly without physical withdrawal symptoms , it is the same clinical approach for me. We can’t stop their benzos suddenly and withdrawal is painful. Love the Petersons and love Candace. No one is a brat or a high school mean girl!
I listened to both Mikhaila & Jordan’s testimony on the subject. I wouldn’t categorize JP’s illness as addiction. He was instructed by his doctor to increase the dosage, and that greatly influenced the dependence and side effects.
Regardless he was addicted to medication aka legally prescribed drugs so it is the same as taking heroin for fun and becoming addicted it's the same as taking opioids for painful relief and then becoming addicted to it! arguing from a moral perspective but you're STILL taking it when you don't need it because your body is depending on it there you're a drug addict because you are incapable of living your day-to-day life without it! Absolutely and #Candace was right because men will turn it against JP because they suddenly saw him as a weak pathetic man who was addicted and dependent on drugs where before they thought he was this Strong man that wouldn't be in such a weak position depending on medication! And That's exactly what addiction is! Does she 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 on medication! The only difference is that prescription medication that someone is addicted to is prescribed legally by their doctor!
@@RealCandaceOdoctors push mood stabilizers, antidepressants, benzodiazepines etc. My nephew is 8 and a psychiatrist already prescribed him an antianxiety med. All because he doesn’t like thunderstorms and loud noises. It’s terrible. The whole future of children is going to be addicted to psych meds.
“A person can be dependent, addicted, or both, depending on their situation and how they use the medication. The distinction lies in the patterns of use and the effects on their behavior and brain.”
Thank you! Candace is wrong on this one. I was put on pain meds because of my painful crohns but after surgery I was pain free and tapered off. I had to taper because my body became dependent and there would be withdrawal symptoms if I didnt taper but I was not addicted. What the girl was trying to get across was people are put on meds not realizing you can become physically dependent and have to go through withdrawals if you try to get off. That does not make them addicted.
Explain further. What pattern of use determines addiction and what pattern determines dependency? What effects does an addiction have on a person’s brain/behavior vs a dependency? I’ll go pop my popcorn.
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.
Justin has GREAT purpose over his life and God has some very AMAZING things in store for Justin and to come through Justin. Pain may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning 🙌✝️♥️
3rd year US Med student - this example should illustrate dependence vs addiction. When a mother is on opiates while pregnant - the baby will become dependent on them - meaning, when delivered he will experience symptoms of an opiate withdrawal because no longer getting opiates in system from mom. For severe cases, they will give the baby morphine. This is called neonatal abstinence syndrome and shows that dependency is a real thing in the child. More difficult to splice when an adult - because one could say they’re dependent in order to get more of the drug - when really they’re just addicted. I understand what Candace is saying but Mikhaila does have a fair point.
So the baby was born addicted to opiates? If the hospital is having to give the infant drugs to help with withdrawal, thereby, following a detox/rehab protocols that means that that infant can't be without the opiates to function and feel normal. I understand that it obviously isn't the infant's fault because it can't control what it's mother was ingesting, but that doesn't change that the poor child was born with an addiction and this is more prone to developing an addiction later in life. Being dependent on a substance that's not completely necessary for survival is an addiction. This also applies to things other than drugs but if you have to have something to function as normal then more than more than likely it's an addiction. It just sounds better and nicer to say dependency rather than calling a spade a spade.
@@maggiehernandez7215 the word addicted has a psychological connotation - the addicted person needs more of the same drug to get the same dopamine hit. The dependent person - or baby in this matter - has a physiological connotation in which actual physical symptoms are precipitated without the drug
Remember when Jordan Peterson said that an all-meat diet cured his mental illness...then it turned out he was addicted to benzos? THAT was manipulative & the lies were why he lost fans. IDK how you stay so calm when talking to Mikhaila seems extremely challenging.
Hey Candace! Love your work but I have to agree that you dont understand where the Petersons are coming from when they were sharing their drug dependency. Have you done a deep dive into their health issues and the drugs that were prescribed to them hence the dependency? It’s not an addiction per se since they were prescribed the drugs. It’s not like they went to the streets to get drugs to get high. The language matters here cause it may seem like you are lumping them with drug addicts on the streets who steal, harm and kill for drugs. Some empathy and kindness for Dr Peterson when he shared how tough it was would have been nice. You kinda gave holier than thou vibes. Anyways, you can’t always be right about everything and maybe you should have a conversation with Dr Peterson bout big Pharma and psych meds? God bless you and your family. May the Lord protect you always.
i genuinely believe that if you can't talk about something publicly then it was bad. even if you say "oh it was normal for the time period/for my surroundings/for me personally". if you feel that you have to hide it - it was bad period
If it’s a psych med needed to help control a behavior or a mood, if you suddenly stop the meds, the side effects are severe and can kill someone. Which in turn makes people with psych issues to be dependent on the medication. If they stop taking it suddenly death can occur. Being addicted would be someone can’t stop taking the medication due to a craving or an urge, but perhaps it is in their control to stop without the terrible side effects on the brain/ mental psyche.
Candace im 30 and its just crazy how you remind me so much of myself the way you think is so similar to me, your very straight up, honest and focus on researching the real truth and speaking it aswell. Even if i dont know you i see you as another human being who loves God like me and i am so happy to know i could always come here and listen to another person who doesnt lack common sense or has a big ego. Thank you very much for leaving the daily wire they never deserved you and you were way ahead of them when it came to actually showing morals towards all groups of people and not picking and choosing but actually seeing all humans as one and evil humans as another. We don't always have to agree with everything as humans but that doesn't mean we have the right to show hate or commit genocides.

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 !
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.
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.😢
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.

@ it would because it happened to so many yet many feel quite alone.
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!
God bless Candace Owens for always saying the truth😊🙏
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 🙏
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

How about Mr and Mr
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.
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!
Judah Smith isn’t wonderful at all. Keep praying.🙏
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.
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.

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.
Hi thank you for your comments 😊 it's CEO of Justin management if you interested to talk to him directly we are here to assist you thank you 😊💝
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.❤
The whole lot of you just praising false idols.

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.

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
Candace. Stay strong. You have the Majority American people behind you. Speak loud and clear. Stay the course. Never back down, Never surrender.
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.
It’s sad what a lot of young 90s artists went through. Aaliyah was another prime example.
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🙄
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!❤
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.🙏

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.
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.
@@HeatherSmith-ii7mi that’s so amazing! Keep on keeping on…you’re a freaking warrior! One day that 3 will become 0!
@@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
@@emotional_anarchistThat's not at all what chemical dependency means. I'm not sure if you're gaslighting, or truly didn't know that. Usually, I judge, but as a biology professor, I know for a fact that many people truly don't know that "dependence" does not mean "dependence". Essentially, these are two words that are the same, but with different meanings. What is only used in the hard science discipline. The other is used in daily language.

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

@HankRearden84 Thank you for praying for her and her family! It’s always a blessing to hear about Christian men praying for people.
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.
Recovering drug addict and alcoholic here🙋🏻♂️ I see what Jordan is trying to say, by saying he was Benzo “dependent” he means he didn’t abuse it, but he took it everyday. Take it from someone who has been on Xanax, and other drugs (street) and abused alcohol - needing something everyday, means you’re addicted, i don’t care if it’s the same amount everyday. Saying “dependent” is disingenuous, you don’t “depend” on Xanax like you depend on an inhaler, or heart medication. I think Jordan is brilliant, but I don’t understand why his daughter is on Piers Morgan. I never got on the Mikhaila Peterson boat, never understood why her father’s fame should make her impressive, or qualified on anything. Good for her though 🤷🏻♂️
I just don't agree with this. I used to take anxiety meds, Zoloft. I took it daily as I am prescribed. If I miss couple of days, i get the withdraw symptoms as it is an SSRI drug and your brain becomes chemically "dependant" on it. That is why you need to tapper off of these drugs the correct way.
What makes this different than an addiction would be that after I tapered off of the medication, I didnt feel i NEEDED the medication, I didn't have the need to go back to this perscription, this didn't get me high, I wasn't feigning for it. I went on with my life. I didn't have to go to therapy help fix my addiction to zoloft. Makes no sense.
@ I get what you’re saying with SSRI’s and agree, but your brain was altered chemically from it, and your brain depended on it chemically, I’ve been on them, I know what you mean, but Xanax is mind altering (you can get high) I’m sure his (Jordan’s) tolerance went up, and so did his dosage. It wasn’t just chemical, he was getting a nice buzz. He’s a psychologist he knew he could get addicted to them, there’s no addiction risk with Prozac or Zoloft. It sounds like he’s tryin to dress up his Benzo addiction and idk why, there’s no shame in it, he wasn’t smoking crack.
@@Tonybaga_laughs ok, I totally get that. Thanks for your reply!
I’m glad you explained this as it’s exactly what I was thinking. I just couldn’t put it into words as well as you did. He’s being extremely disingenuous.
@@alissajohnson3694 I completely agree with everything you said…Thanks because I thought I was the only one who felt this way 🙏
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
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
Drake Bell is a child lover. I wouldn’t feel too sorry for him.

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 was in the hospital for 2 weeks and I was on pain medication. When I was released I was going through major withdrawal. My body had become DEPENDENT. My mom who was out seeking her opioids in the 80’s was an addict. People who look for a high are addicts. People who start due to an illness whether mental or physical gain a dependency. It’s a side effect. Yes dependency can lead to addiction but not everyone becomes an addict.
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.
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.
As a gen Z when I woke up yesterday and saw red note was number one app it made my day. I just kept laughing at the thought of the government freaking out as we all defy them😂
You’re not defying them. You’re falling into the trap of being forced to leave an app where you had free speech and Jewish / Israeli supremacy and crimes were getting exposed - and you’re moving onto an app where Israel now has control of the narrative. Again.
I think saying defy them is a bit dramatic .
Are English speakers using this app? It looks like it’s all in Chinese 😂

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!

Me either. Candace is washing dirty laundry!!❤❤❤❤
It’s my understanding Dependancy is different than Addiction, and we can all agree there is Stigma with the word addiction so we have to be careful when using this, to be fair.
Candace I agree in part with her that some people just can’t get off of medications because their body is dependent on it, they don’t want to be on it but it’s extremely difficult to get off because of the withdrawals. These people aren’t seeking a high they’re only seeking to not go through hell to get off of it. It’s not pompous it’s reality. The sad part is there are ways to get off it but the us government has them all banned.
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
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. 👌🏾

@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.
Candace - I have Primary Restless Leg Syndrome and have had it since I was 10yrs old. I am dependent on a synthetic opioid to control my legs and now my arms as it gets worse with age and can move to other limbs. Primary means it was inherited from a parent. I inherited it from my father. He was undiagnosed and self medicated until his death from a drug overdose. I don’t drink, smoke nor have I done any other drugs. However, without this medication I would have jumped from a very tall building long ago. The difference between dependence and addiction is that I’m dependent on a drug that removes the infuriating creepy crawly feeling under my skin that forces me to constantly move my legs and arms for relief. It makes it impossible to sleep without medication. I’ve tried sleeping standing up many times…it’s not possible. You can NOT live without sleep. I’m dependent on a drug for something that I cannot control. I am not a drug addict. There is a difference.
Have you tried kratom? It is "addictive" but it works for pain better than anything else. It's a natural painkiller. But your body will definitely withdraw. It works.
Candice I did something today I've never done before. I listen to the entire hearing for Pete Hegseth. What an exhausting experience in smear campaigning that was. I did not see one Democrat on that bench that I would vote for! They either smeared him or tried to put him in a box with his answers of yes or no, so that they could blackmail him with it later. I think that you are the only one that can present a fair report on those in Congress and the house! I think we got to make this fair, and put everybody skeletons out on the table, so that we can get rid of this nonsense that I watched today! I feel that 50% of it was a waste of the American people's money, and people like me that wanted to watch, a waste of my time! I can see how these hearings could be beneficial for the American people, but to listen to smears for half of that time was ridiculous! There's only one game that I will play on my phone, because I won't pay for it, and I spend more time listening to commercials to get points in order to play. That is how I felt about listening to this hearing today. I spent more time listening to garbage then I did listening to meaningful conversation. Please please please consider looking into skeletons. Once everybody skeletons are out on the table, then maybe we can get down to business.
"No love lost" means the opposite of what Usher thinks, he sounds ignorant like so many " stars" we admired for no good reason
I caught that too. Surprised Candace didn’t
This is a much larger conversation. There is a cycle of abuser abusing and creating a victim and then the victim may abuse others and then the latest victim abuses somebody else. This is a cycle. Outing the abusers that are probably victims themselves isn’t solving the problem of the abuse in society. The question is how to stop the cycle?
The cycle is stopped when someone says No! Unfortunately the love of money is the root of evil.
Right? Why does Justin get a pass but usher doesn’t? He was molested by the industry too . They all will pay eventually. Judgement day comes for all of us. I was molested as a child and beat but I don’t do that to others…. People make choices .
I agree with your cycle of abuse comment but I don’t believe in not calling out the abusers. People who are abused aren’t forced to do the same to others. It’s a choice, just like any crime. In my opinion, the whole thing needs to be blown open and everyone needs to see what’s actually happening, especially in Hollywood, where so many of the youths are idolizing these people and consuming their products which has an effect on their psyche as well. Plus it will bring awareness to this cycle of the abused becoming the abuser, and those abused become abusers, and so on. So many parents don’t know how to recognize this pattern. We need to normalize having these conversations since it’s so prevalent in society as a whole.
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!
CANDACE, YOU DID LAUGH. The clip clearly shows that when Jordan said he couldn’t sleep for 25 days, you laughed. That moment was deeply disappointing. Your coverage of Jordan's struggle to break free from Benzos came across as incrediably insensitive and cruel. Not only did you trivialize his pain, but you even put it into question.
Now, you're using soft rhetoric and gaslighting to make Mikhalia seem like she's overreacting simply because she’s his daughter. Shame on you, Candace. I expected better from you, but this behavior is a huge letdown.
I love that the first topic you talk about is the title of the video, thank you for that
Dependence on psych meds is not addiction. Benzos help to alleviate the strange symptoms of weaning off of these meds. However benzos wear off faster than SSRIs. I do believe Candace has good intentions in discussing this, but this might be one thing she doesn't understand well enough if she has never experienced this or on knows people who experienced this.
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.

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.
First of all Jordan Peterson has a doctorate correct. I was prescribed an unlimited supply of oxycodone when I went through a major surgery I chose to take myself off because I knew the long-term ramification and I had to take care of a one year-old child at the same tim. The pain that I suffered from upper and lower Jaw surgery was beyond anything you can imagine.. I fell asleep crying in pain many times. I spent eight days in the hospital because of the surgery and I don’t have the educational background that Mr. Peterson had. Yet I went against my own doctors orders because I knew what it was gonna do to my kidneys and liver in the long run let alone that it was an addictive drug. So did he not read the insert that usually comes with these meds that they give you and that they usually consult with you when you pick up your meds with the pharmacist.
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.
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.
There is definitely a difference from addiction and dependence. I am on prescriptions due to my physical condition and if i accidentally miss a dose, it is hell. I DO NOT or have not abused my medication like others in the neighborhood. EITHER way, i understand both points.
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.
Yes!! There is no hierarchy in addiction! Thank you, Candace!!
Calling your addiction a "dependancy" is a classic symptom of addiction: denial.
You got addicted to drugs, get over yourself
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……
I rarely disagree with Candace but I think the Jordan Peterson conversation is a bit cruel & I can only imagine how I would feel if someone was speaking about my father in the same way. If it was me, I would have softened my delivery in the Piers interview out of respect for the delicate situation. But who am I? 😅
Also, I remember the JP episode and it genuinely was harsh and almost all of the comments agreed.
Peterson and his grifting daughter deserve no grace.” Give’em Hell”.He’s a horrible man.
100% agree regarding addiction/dependency/substance abuse…whatever you want to call it it’s all the same. First step is admitting then getting help to stop the addiction/dependency/etc
I think it’s because people prescribed certain meds don’t realize their bodies will become dependent on them so they don’t even know they’ll go into terrible DTs if they stop or don’t have the meds. They aren’t necessarily seeking the meds.
That's why I feel strongly that drug dealers from the top to the bottom should Go through the law. My son had the choice to go through drug court, or prison, he chose drug court, which saved his life, and gave him the coping tools to learn to live with life! If he could not have made that change, then he did deserve to go to prison, luckily for us it took him a year and a half at drug court and he turned his life around! Drug court saved his life!
Praise God! Hallelujah! I’m rejoicing for you both! God has the final word, and I believe our footsteps are ordered by the Lord!
Candace, I LOVE you. Truly, but MP had a good point when she expressed disbelief that you would characterize dependence on Benzos as a gateway to Heroin use. That’s very very at odds with facts.
I’m disappointed that you guys didn’t get to the guts of discussing H1B policy questions: you might not be as far apart as you think
Every citizen in every foreign country tells me the same thing when I ask why their food is so good… and cheap! “It’s a necessity”. I can’t help but laugh to explain, America charges you tax on clothing, but it’s illegal to be naked! Necessity has no place in American culture.
Spot on Candace. I also lived with an alcoholic and what I learned in Al-Anon was that if they're behaviour and they're drinking is affecting you then it's an addiction the addict doesn't get to define the addiction, the people who are impacted do
As a working pharmacist , dependance and addiction are just both words that would indicate to me as pharmacist to monitor the patient’s use of the molecule. Wether the patient steals or lies for their benzodiazepines (many do) or they can’t stop them suddenly without physical withdrawal symptoms , it is the same clinical approach for me. We can’t stop their benzos suddenly and withdrawal is painful. Love the Petersons and love Candace. No one is a brat or a high school mean girl!
I listened to both Mikhaila & Jordan’s testimony on the subject. I wouldn’t categorize JP’s illness as addiction. He was instructed by his doctor to increase the dosage, and that greatly influenced the dependence and side effects.
Doctors create addicts. That’s the point . And it’s a point that needs addressing imo.
@@RealCandaceOplease interview Justin Bieber
Regardless he was addicted to medication aka legally prescribed drugs so it is the same as taking heroin for fun and becoming addicted it's the same as taking opioids for painful relief and then becoming addicted to it!
arguing from a moral perspective but you're STILL taking it when you don't need it because your body is depending on it there you're a drug addict because you are incapable of living your day-to-day life without it!
Absolutely and #Candace was right because men will turn it against JP because they suddenly saw him as a weak pathetic man who was addicted and dependent on drugs where before they thought he was this Strong man that wouldn't be in such a weak position depending on medication!
And That's exactly what addiction is!
Does she 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 on medication!
The only difference is that prescription medication that someone is addicted to is prescribed legally by their doctor!
@@RealCandaceOabsolutely drs create addicts and KEEP them on these drugs!! It’s all about the money!!
@@RealCandaceOdoctors push mood stabilizers, antidepressants, benzodiazepines etc.
My nephew is 8 and a psychiatrist already prescribed him an antianxiety med. All because he doesn’t like thunderstorms and loud noises. It’s terrible. The whole future of children is going to be addicted to psych meds.
“A person can be dependent, addicted, or both, depending on their situation and how they use the medication. The distinction lies in the patterns of use and the effects on their behavior and brain.”
Thank you! Candace is wrong on this one. I was put on pain meds because of my painful crohns but after surgery I was pain free and tapered off. I had to taper because my body became dependent and there would be withdrawal symptoms if I didnt taper but I was not addicted. What the girl was trying to get across was people are put on meds not realizing you can become physically dependent and have to go through withdrawals if you try to get off. That does not make them addicted.
Explain further. What pattern of use determines addiction and what pattern determines dependency? What effects does an addiction have on a person’s brain/behavior vs a dependency? I’ll go pop my popcorn.
sounds like "gender fluid" but "addiction fluid"....total BS
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.
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.
Justin has GREAT purpose over his life and God has some very AMAZING things in store for Justin and to come through Justin. Pain may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning 🙌✝️♥️
3rd year US Med student - this example should illustrate dependence vs addiction. When a mother is on opiates while pregnant - the baby will become dependent on them - meaning, when delivered he will experience symptoms of an opiate withdrawal because no longer getting opiates in system from mom. For severe cases, they will give the baby morphine. This is called neonatal abstinence syndrome and shows that dependency is a real thing in the child. More difficult to splice when an adult - because one could say they’re dependent in order to get more of the drug - when really they’re just addicted. I understand what Candace is saying but Mikhaila does have a fair point.
So the baby was born addicted to opiates? If the hospital is having to give the infant drugs to help with withdrawal, thereby, following a detox/rehab protocols that means that that infant can't be without the opiates to function and feel normal. I understand that it obviously isn't the infant's fault because it can't control what it's mother was ingesting, but that doesn't change that the poor child was born with an addiction and this is more prone to developing an addiction later in life. Being dependent on a substance that's not completely necessary for survival is an addiction. This also applies to things other than drugs but if you have to have something to function as normal then more than more than likely it's an addiction. It just sounds better and nicer to say dependency rather than calling a spade a spade.
The baby who experiences withdrawal is addicted to opiates whether they know it or not
@@maggiehernandez7215 the word addicted has a psychological connotation - the addicted person needs more of the same drug to get the same dopamine hit. The dependent person - or baby in this matter - has a physiological connotation in which actual physical symptoms are precipitated without the drug
@@maggiehernandez7215 100%
Please try not to create more pharma dependent/addicted people once you become a MD
Remember when Jordan Peterson said that an all-meat diet cured his mental illness...then it turned out he was addicted to benzos? THAT was manipulative & the lies were why he lost fans. IDK how you stay so calm when talking to Mikhaila seems extremely challenging.
Hey Candace! Love your work but I have to agree that you dont understand where the Petersons are coming from when they were sharing their drug dependency. Have you done a deep dive into their health issues and the drugs that were prescribed to them hence the dependency? It’s not an addiction per se since they were prescribed the drugs. It’s not like they went to the streets to get drugs to get high. The language matters here cause it may seem like you are lumping them with drug addicts on the streets who steal, harm and kill for drugs.
Some empathy and kindness for Dr Peterson when he shared how tough it was would have been nice. You kinda gave holier than thou vibes.
Anyways, you can’t always be right about everything and maybe you should have a conversation with Dr Peterson bout big Pharma and psych meds?
God bless you and your family. May the Lord protect you always.
“I got a couple of uncles that would have loved this term” 😂😂😂 took me all the way out😂 it’s soooo true
i genuinely believe that if you can't talk about something publicly then it was bad. even if you say "oh it was normal for the time period/for my surroundings/for me personally". if you feel that you have to hide it - it was bad period
If it’s a psych med needed to help control a behavior or a mood, if you suddenly stop the meds, the side effects are severe and can kill someone. Which in turn makes people with psych issues to be dependent on the medication. If they stop taking it suddenly death can occur.
Being addicted would be someone can’t stop taking the medication due to a craving or an urge, but perhaps it is in their control to stop without the terrible side effects on the brain/ mental psyche.
Hello Candace Owens.
Candace im 30 and its just crazy how you remind me so much of myself the way you think is so similar to me, your very straight up, honest and focus on researching the real truth and speaking it aswell. Even if i dont know you i see you as another human being who loves God like me and i am so happy to know i could always come here and listen to another person who doesnt lack common sense or has a big ego. Thank you very much for leaving the daily wire they never deserved you and you were way ahead of them when it came to actually showing morals towards all groups of people and not picking and choosing but actually seeing all humans as one and evil humans as another. We don't always have to agree with everything as humans but that doesn't mean we have the right to show hate or commit genocides.
I love Candace’s humor lately 😂😂😂 the intro LMAO
I could listen to her for hours 😊
