This is an absolutely spectacular interview. His psychiatric max security hospital description is bang on. I was in one that was coed. This gal Serena Nicotine was on it, and she had killed her caretaker and who knows who else. She was batshit insane, and all of us so called crazy violent men were terrified of her lol.
I grew up in the next town over from Pat. Met him through mutual friends. We partied harder than college kids when we were only 12/13 years old.... Glad we're both alive and sober today.
I’m in Texas, being held against my will through marriage. (LOL)! This man breaks my heart regarding how bad it is here, society having no humanity looks like Texas. His energy is beautiful. I appreciate his story, his telling, an honesty and gut wrenching passion for life is something to behold. I wish Boston only good news!
Wow, this guy is amazing! He's got great energy! I appreciate his vulnerability. I'm glad he's being honest about the psych hospitals. Sounds like they haven't changed much.
@@boston2percent hey Boston, I'm mike from Pittsburgh pa. Believe it or not our stories are crazy similar I would love to talk sometime my friend. 2% this far💪
@@bryandaza man. Thank yall so damn much. You have no idea what all these comments mean to me. I wrote the book when I was homeless and everyone I loved either died or betrayed me. So this was the dream . Thank you so damn much
Honestly awesome interview definitely going to get the audio book for someone with no education like you said you have the gift of knowledge and how to talk definitely a sales person sold me for sure on this interview good job!!!!
@@boston2percentyou gained me as a new subscriber 💯 I can’t relate to the meth but I can relate to mental illness and addiction they go hand in hand more times than none!!! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much. I am so different today. I am a wholesome person. I can only love one woman . I am lead by God. I love helping others get off drugs.
@@greedsworld295well it’s such an honor to have people listen and read the story. I hate when content creators get too high and mighty to interact with people.
I think this is my favorite episode so far! The "being in a movie" psychosis stuff was wild and him talking about his disabled dad, I felt sick because it was so intense and sad. I'm commenting at only 35 minutes in, what I'm going to hear next is anybody's guess but I'm sure it's going to be even more intense, possibly heart breaking stories. I'm definitely checking out this guy's book, I rarely read but I love memoirs of addicts, I'm sure his is absolutely amazing!
@@boston2percentThank you for being brave enough to tell such a bizarre, rarely heard story! I grew up around addicts, I witnessed mostly h and crack users but they all seem to have switched from crack to ice (going off of their arrest records) after I'd mostly cut ties. I never could completely understand choosing that stuff but I do understand addiction, it ultimately doesn't have to make sense because addiction at it's core is just people in pain who want to feel better, exact thing they use doesn't matter. Psychosis is in my top 3 worst fears so by extension, ice makes me really uneasy, that entire lifestyle is very sad and terrifying. Had a friend who was convinced that his h dealer was living in his vents after a few days of ice use, most unreal thing I've ever seen. I opened his vent and found a $50 bill, gave it back to him and he didn't understand what was going on, he swore that someone inside gave him a ticket of h that he used and he finally decided to go to sleep after that. Scary stuff. I'm so glad you're mind is better after the horror of psychosis, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! I can't wait to hear more details in the book, it's like a bad car accident where it's horrific and you want to look away but there's a strange desire to look at it at the same time. I feel like I'm rambling, just glad you're back in reality and you're putting your story out for the world to hear because people need to hear it! Be proud of beating the statistics and being part of the 2% on the other side, God bless!
@@boston2percent Thank you for being brave enough to tell such a rarely heard story!

Kitty !!!!! Thank you so much for watching my story! The book is really amazing. God gave it to me. Life is an adventure. I am so blessed to be alive and free! Thank u ma’am
Watching this during a traumatic day n calmed my whole mind n saved today from any more anxiety that's means lot n I sound crazy but only being honest cause why not let ya know what tables are being turned with this podcast
@@lowkeyparanoid2863what saved me man was truck driving. There’s hella companies that pay for everything. During the first 3 weeks they put you in a hotel while you go to school to get your CDL then you work for the company for a year to pay it off. It’s over the road and you’re never home but it’s good money. And changed my life. Look up companies like Swift or CR England.
Never thought i would've seen Boston get interviewed on this channel. I found him on Jamie Tall's channel, looking for answers i guess lol. 6 months clean finally getting my life back on track.
Definitely understandable situation. Some people never believe these things . Ian cutoes to u for listening and vibing with Boston. He's a life changer.
When he talks about how alcohol affected him the very first time, I can 100% relate! Both my parents struggled with alcohol and I worry so badly that my son will face the same issues. Thanks for sharing these stories, I can relate to so many of them!
The comments calling me a story teller warm my heart. You have no idea how much it means to me that you listened to my story. Thank you for this uplifting comment . So grateful for you.
I had a similar experience from drug use and lack of sleep away 5 days . Wasn't meth but fent and cocaine. I went crazy for roughly a week and was put in a phyciatric ward of the hospital for 3 days and was almost admitted for the long stay. Luckily after the drugged me and I finally slept I started to slowly come out of it. I remember most of it and it was exactly like Boston said...I remember it but it was like looking at life through a different lense. I would have dreams or thoughts and think that it reqlly happened. All kinds of crazy. Thankfully I have been clean for over a month and I'm getting my life back together after loosing everything.
@@boston2percent Absolutely brother. I personally have 2 very close friends who beat those 2% odds. One is 4 years this month and another is over a year. Myself off painkillers since 2008, off Suboxone July 11 2012. Even after a serious car accident that should have killed me and a pain management doc offering oxy, I knew I could deal with pain but not the life the meds would lead to. 4 visits he asked did I want some variation of opiate. A few months later I was walking for PT from the accident with my GF. We were randomly attacked and I ended up with a nasty wound thru my thigh and I was given morphine immediately. Even getting meds in the hospital I said to my GF I don't miss this or want this feeling. It helped pain some but leaving the hospital I took one low dose pill to get up the steps with my walker and never took another look at the meds. I think my GF either put them in our safe or trashed them. No want for another even though 2 weeks on a walker and 3 on a cane. I would detail more but the case is active in court. I can say her and I were shot at 9 times. Last round hit me. Trauma is real and I know very well not to open that door of managing the mental struggles with drugs or alcohol. Immediately out of the hospital I was calling to get into therapy again. I appreciate my GF has never used but was aware of my risks, she never made me feel bad about meds in the hospital. Never even asked did it make me want use. Then changed my dressings and helped me get dressed for over a week. Now it's my turn to support her through the trauma of a near death experience. Thank God she doesn't have a drug or alcohol history because she thought I might die in her arms getting rushed to the hospital. Sleep has been upside-down for both of us. She's been my partner 16 years. Our Faith and prayers have helped us so much with being thankful, mindful of all we have been blessed with. I am thankful constantly I was staying between her and the shooter. Hearing bullets snap past my head is a moment I'll never forget. Instead of fighting and trying to bury these emotions, her and I embrace the fears and challenges together. One of the worst parts of all this is our shooter is out on bail. He tried to kill 2 people he's never seen before and bonded for under 10k. Sorry for the rant. Keep up the great work and positive message. It was an inspiring story.
Meth psychosis is ABSOLUTELY INSANE Ian… I have some truly crazy and dark stories my younger brother told me while I know now was because of meth man… really scary shit
I am so fucking happy right now! I have worked very hard to be a good story teller. I thank god for such an amazing story. Your comment means the world to me
@boston2percent ahh you will fit right in too brother....we a nation founded by convicts 200yrs ago an not much has changed.....hehehe....bless brother
Joey! Thank you for watching my story! Thank you for your comment. God made me a story teller. The book is going all over the world. It’s proof to follow your dreams!
I remember my first time going to rehab for percs within 4 days I was transferred to their psych ward in the next building held against my will and had to file paperwork to request a relax. Never went to rehab again. However I’ve been to crisis on my own as a walk in twice before that. That rehab treated people with mental illness like crap and even worse mental health when detoxing off pills so to be thrown away basically, restricted, shot in the ass strapped down sitting around with nothing to do defeated the whole purpose of going to detox that should have turned into rehab after not locked up in a hospital against my will instead!!! 💯
I think of those people every single day. The people next door were saints. They knew my grandparents. Someday I wanna do something amazing to make amends to them. For now I do a living amends my trying to be a good person
Watched this happen to my best friend. First alcohol, then meth. He went through the severe delusions and hallucinations. He got so bad that he would fire his gun through qundows and walls at imaginary threats, usually believing the police were coming for him. Unfortunately he never recovered and took his own life at the age of 26
I was in North Battleford forensic psychiatric hospital which is max security for violent offenders. The place was built in the stone ages (they have a new one since) and was pretty bad. However, they had a large jet tub which prisoners could use. One day Im feeling it and get a hold of a Maxim magazine and head to the jet tub and decide im gonna rub one out while im using the tub. Ive got the jets on and use shampoo to crack one off (not advisable) and Im not paying attention to anything, just enjoying the moment. After I finish the deed I realize the water is still filling, the shampoo has created a mountain of bubbles and the floor is absolutely covered. Im a little stressed at first, but then I realize im at the upper end of psych wards in Canada so hey, Im fukin crazy and just leave the whole mess and the maxim laying there and go to my room. Never heard a thing about it
i got to see crazy up close at the mississippi state hospital in building 201-202 due to my debilitating bi polar disorder. i can tell you crazy stories from when i was court ordered there 2 different times.
Grew up in Vernon where the state hospital is and where so many of people I know work there. Yes, there is a razor fence and it’s not completely in the middle of no where it’s just a small town but idk how many times where the city has alerted us to bolos because patients have escaped
@@boston2percent yes it’s pretty secure it didn’t happen too often but a handful of times growing up and sometimes it was workers who helped them “escape” my mom worked there back in the early 2000s and back then they taught you how to subdue patients but I think now they aren’t allowed to even do that..which is a shame because some of them are actually very dangerous
Meth psychosis is a real thing and it's not only terrifying to watch, but it comes with so much more to unpack as well. I never experienced it first hand but my daughter's father has it and it happens the very second he takes a hit of meth. This is very real and very scary and until now I have never heard of anyone else speak on it. Thank you both for sharing your stories!
ehhh you seem to be talking more about the effects and resulting craziness ppl get themselves into once they get high... psychosis happens after DAYS if not a week and more of using and its not from a single hit or even a day of using it happens from the no sleep... its really less the METH and more stimulant psychosis it can happen if you stim out on coffee for days on end.
It’s so crazy how when on those drugs and you have no idea of reality but once you get clean you’re able to remember all of the crazy things you did. You would think your past during those times would just be a big blur. Maybe for the most part it is and you just remember bits and pieces of it, idk. I am glad I never got hooked on anything that crazy. Worst thing I ever did, aside from occasionally doing blow in my late teens/early 20s, was like a hydrocos or percs. Unfortunately 3 of my best friends I grew up with did and they are all now gone. Fuck heroin
As a former meth user myself (been clean for 16 years), I can attest to the things he's saying about the meth psychosis and the tweaker mind games; people, and things in general, get hella weird when they're deep into the dope and have been up God knows how long. The longest I was ever up was about a week and it was a non-stop neon horror show; the hallucinations and paranoia was something else to say the least.
I love the show and Ian everything you do I’m a total fan! For some reason I can’t stop thinking this dude is on one non stop promo run.. as a heroin/crack addict with now over 5 years clean and multiple different rehabs jails treatment centers.. this dude comes off as a story teller aka a liar
I possess my own personal account of being criminally insane and being sent to a psychiatric ward, where my fellow inmates added an intriguing twist to my story. The visitor should have familiarized himself with the statute, as he would have discovered that the felony charges were transformed into a plea arrangement that mandated a minimum of 6 months for observation, ensuring that person posed no risk to others. The hospital itself boasts amenities such as swimming pools, pool tables, a fully-equipped gym, a vast library, and a deli that serves three-course meals. Surprisingly, most individuals within the facility choose not to leave, opting for a permanent residence in the special wings that house even higher-risk individuals who frequently harm the staff. The public's reluctance to work there is evident, as the job is far from desirable. If the hospital wishes to further exploit the insurance, a lawyer is assigned to facilitate the release process. Subsequently, the attorney typically informs the individual of their impending release.
the maximum security units at state hospitals are reffered to as "forensic" untis. this is where people facing time who are being reviewed as " insane" are evaluated. a dr. determines wether you are competent to stand trial. 23 hour lockdown with 1 hour outside in a box with gigantic walls. 1 man cells.
Any psych ward stay is terrifying! I couldn’t imagine doing it with other criminal insane individuals. My last stay I watched a woman get a cocktail shot to help her eat and man it was rough
Listening to Patrick's story reminds me of myself and my story. Gave me the chills
Thank you so so much. Means so much to me
This is an absolutely spectacular interview. His psychiatric max security hospital description is bang on. I was in one that was coed. This gal Serena Nicotine was on it, and she had killed her caretaker and who knows who else. She was batshit insane, and all of us so called crazy violent men were terrified of her lol.
Man thank you! I wrote this chapter so descriptive it will give you nightmares! I am so glad you made it out! The women were scary lol
I always thought that people who got off on being criminally insane were getting away with by not going to prison. But this sounds way worse

Thanks brother, we are just getting started ! Thank you for watching this story!
@@boston2percent Absolutely brother. I personally have 2 very close friends who beat those 2% odds. One is 4 years this month and another is over a year.
Myself off painkillers since 2008, off Suboxone July 11 2012. Even after a serious car accident that should have killed me and a pain management doc offering oxy, I knew I could deal with pain but not the life the meds would lead to. 4 visits he asked did I want some variation of opiate.

Thank you! I wrote the book while homeless and clean. The world needed the meth bible. My real life is like a movie
This was by far my favorite episode
Wooooooooooooooooooow!!!
I remember my first time going to rehab for percs within 4 days I was transferred to their psych ward in the next building held against my will and had to file paperwork to request a relax. Never went to rehab again. However I’ve been to crisis on my own as a walk in twice before that. That rehab treated people with mental illness like crap and even worse mental health when detoxing off pills so to be thrown away basically, restricted, shot in the ass strapped down sitting around with nothing to do defeated the whole purpose of going to detox that should have turned into rehab after not locked up in a hospital against my will instead!!! 💯
Man is a legend
You are a legend!!!!!!
This had to be absolutely wild to witness as a neighbor
I think of those people every single day. The people next door were saints. They knew my grandparents. Someday I wanna do something amazing to make amends to them. For now I do a living amends my trying to be a good person
This guy is a great story teller. Great video.
Oh man thank you so much! Story telling can be powerful. The book is beyond my dreams. I am writing a second book now!
Best one yet!!! Imho
Thank you so much for watching my story. It means the world to me
This was one of the best videos I've seen! Ive got to purchase that book!
Thank you so much for watching my story!
My real life is a damn movie lol❤
Been watching since episode 1, Top 5 episode for sure 🔥💯
You have no idea how much this means to me
Watched this happen to my best friend. First alcohol, then meth. He went through the severe delusions and hallucinations. He got so bad that he would fire his gun through qundows and walls at imaginary threats, usually believing the police were coming for him. Unfortunately he never recovered and took his own life at the age of 26
I’m sorry for your loss!
Helluva story!
Thank u so much!
I was in North Battleford forensic psychiatric hospital which is max security for violent offenders. The place was built in the stone ages (they have a new one since) and was pretty bad. However, they had a large jet tub which prisoners could use. One day Im feeling it and get a hold of a Maxim magazine and head to the jet tub and decide im gonna rub one out while im using the tub. Ive got the jets on and use shampoo to crack one off (not advisable) and Im not paying attention to anything, just enjoying the moment. After I finish the deed I realize the water is still filling, the shampoo has created a mountain of bubbles and the floor is absolutely covered. Im a little stressed at first, but then I realize im at the upper end of psych wards in Canada so hey, Im fukin crazy and just leave the whole mess and the maxim laying there and go to my room. Never heard a thing about it
Eew but you're cool for laughing and admitting it. You prob cleaned it somewhat with the shampoo.
@@hydraflora1342 haha great comment
Dam I
Missed this 1. I’m here now let’s gooooo
Let’s gooooo!
Its Resperidol, haldol, benadryl and ativan....ive giving a few to patients
i got to see crazy up close at the mississippi state hospital in building 201-202 due to my debilitating bi polar disorder. i can tell you crazy stories from when i was court ordered there 2 different times.
Grew up in Vernon where the state hospital is and where so many of people I know work there. Yes, there is a razor fence and it’s not completely in the middle of no where it’s just a small town but idk how many times where the city has alerted us to bolos because patients have escaped
Vernon was way more secure than San Antonio I know that
@@boston2percent yes it’s pretty secure it didn’t happen too often but a handful of times growing up and sometimes it was workers who helped them “escape” my mom worked there back in the early 2000s and back then they taught you how to subdue patients but I think now they aren’t allowed to even do that..which is a shame because some of them are actually very dangerous
Meth psychosis is a real thing and it's not only terrifying to watch, but it comes with so much more to unpack as well. I never experienced it first hand but my daughter's father has it and it happens the very second he takes a hit of meth. This is very real and very scary and until now I have never heard of anyone else speak on it. Thank you both for sharing your stories!
The book is a detailed account of madness. And hell. It’s a redemption tale that needed to be written. Thank you for watching my story
Thank you for sharing!!!!!
ehhh you seem to be talking more about the effects and resulting craziness ppl get themselves into once they get high... psychosis happens after DAYS if not a week and more of using and its not from a single hit or even a day of using it happens from the no sleep... its really less the METH and more stimulant psychosis it can happen if you stim out on coffee for days on end.
Agreed! My cousin experienced it. Now he’s doing 7 yrs in prison
WHAT. A. STORY!!!!!!!!
It means the world to me that you watched my story! The book is insane! No pun intended lol
Is it free the book still cause unfortunately cant afford it but would love to read and benefit from his book ?
Great interview
Thank you soooooo much!
Another great podcast
Thank you sooooo much!
Your interviews never disappoint!
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for watching my story!!
@@boston2percentYou’re welcome!
Today is my dad’s birthday . RIP
It’s so crazy how when on those drugs and you have no idea of reality but once you get clean you’re able to remember all of the crazy things you did. You would think your past during those times would just be a big blur. Maybe for the most part it is and you just remember bits and pieces of it, idk. I am glad I never got hooked on anything that crazy. Worst thing I ever did, aside from occasionally doing blow in my late teens/early 20s, was like a hydrocos or percs. Unfortunately 3 of my best friends I grew up with did and they are all now gone. Fuck heroin
Patrick and i share the same birthday!!
As a former meth user myself (been clean for 16 years), I can attest to the things he's saying about the meth psychosis and the tweaker mind games; people, and things in general, get hella weird when they're deep into the dope and have been up God knows how long. The longest I was ever up was about a week and it was a non-stop neon horror show; the hallucinations and paranoia was something else to say the least.
this guy is too much 🤣😭 great interview as always
I am toooooooo much! I love ya!!!
Great episode, So interesting
Thank you so much for watching my story!!!!
I love the show and Ian everything you do I’m a total fan! For some reason I can’t stop thinking this dude is on one non stop promo run.. as a heroin/crack addict with now over 5 years clean and multiple different rehabs jails treatment centers.. this dude comes off as a story teller aka a liar
Well I got all the proof. Good god man. Imagine if someone really believed in god and told the truth. What was I lying about?
I’m sorry man maybe I was being a dick I’m glad your doing good though!
@@BlueCollarSober thank you! I am happy for you too!
I possess my own personal account of being criminally insane and being sent to a psychiatric ward, where my fellow inmates added an intriguing twist to my story. The visitor should have familiarized himself with the statute, as he would have discovered that the felony charges were transformed into a plea arrangement that mandated a minimum of 6 months for observation, ensuring that person posed no risk to others. The hospital itself boasts amenities such as swimming pools, pool tables, a fully-equipped gym, a vast library, and a deli that serves three-course meals. Surprisingly, most individuals within the facility choose not to leave, opting for a permanent residence in the special wings that house even higher-risk individuals who frequently harm the staff. The public's reluctance to work there is evident, as the job is far from desirable. If the hospital wishes to further exploit the insurance, a lawyer is assigned to facilitate the release process. Subsequently, the attorney typically informs the individual of their impending release.
There was no amenities in Texas that’s for sure lol
the maximum security units at state hospitals are reffered to as "forensic" untis. this is where people facing time who are being reviewed as " insane" are evaluated. a dr. determines wether you are competent to stand trial. 23 hour lockdown with 1 hour outside in a box with gigantic walls. 1 man cells.
There are 46b and 46 c patients. I was 46 c . I already beat my case.
And we had free reign
Bruh, I got 8 in TDC and thought it was the end of the world. Great story!
Matt thank you so much!!! God did some amazing miracles . I tell this story to show the world that God is real, and we do recover!
@@boston2percent yessir! I grew up in church. Still ended up in prison. I was Jonah in the belly of the whale.
Wellness shots!!!! No thanks Ian! Don’t like needles🏆
One of your best interviews Ian. Very interesting pod.
Thanks so much!
You just made my day. Thank you for watching my story!
Any psych ward stay is terrifying! I couldn’t imagine doing it with other criminal insane individuals. My last stay I watched a woman get a cocktail shot to help her eat and man it was rough
They are the most terrifying places on earth
its funny hearing this because my real name is Boston lol not a nickname. makes me look up everytime lol
Yeeeeeeees!
This is crazy I emailed in with a similar story never heard back
What institution were you in?
Very interesting stuff
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Can I get an autographed book somehow? Would love to read more about this story!
I am all out of author copies. I signed 100 recently. Amazon is your best bet right now! Thank you so much!!
