I actually really like how he doesn't seem to have struggled with addiction to, say opiates, but he's very understanding and empathetic of the struggle of addiction as it relates to society as a whole.
I never personally dealt with anyone that used them. But I know someone I thought was nice OD'd in highschool. I only learned about that when she wasn't on the bus after summer. hard drugs are no bueno, people that do them really need help.
I was a hard opiate addict, and a total garbage pail user. It's hard to find someone who has some sympathy while simultaneously being very clear about staying the fuck away from the stuff.
Day 5 of sobriety from weed after 7 years straight. Withdrawls already settled down surprisingly other than the irritability. I’m happier than I was when I was going hard. They say it’s not addictive but I was addicted.
Yeah weed withdrawal goes fast thankfully. I've had to take breaks before and it just takes a few days before you feel normal again. Hard to sleep though.
What were your withdrawls like? my parents told me i had withdrawls when it really just felt like goin back to how i felt before smoking. aka, all the pain and constant puking which was the reason i started smoking to begin with.
Well they say theres no addictive SUBSTANCE in weed, but having an addictive personality is what makes it seem so. A lot of those people work in repetition and dont favor change, and weed is a part of routine. Rolling a blunt becomes ritual and scheduled, you start smoking to improve food enjoyment, for sleep, for headaches ( i cough too much so this wouldnt work for me personally ) they smoke socially, they smoke when theyre alone, before work, after work, to help focus when studying or engaging with tv. Theres no substance that you get latched onto but WE as humans can latch ourselves onto habit. So its correct to say weed isnt addictive. But that isnt saying you cant be addicted, its just saying its on you. Not the drug. If you had a different personality, and some discipline that might jot otherwise be there, it becomes abundantly clear that theres no actual addiction of that kind. That and people who depend on being high to get through a day NOT because withdrawal, but anxiety and not liking interacting with people, or whatever the case is. That can make you depend on it to function. So once more, that would be them and their dependence on it to make those things easier, and it becomes habit. then when they dont have it for that they get mad. Its not withdrawal in that sense, its just inconvenient that you ran out lol. Some people weed is like their phone. A blunt is always in their hands.
I remember when D.A.R.E was big in the 90s, I even won a D.A.R.E essay competition in 5th grade, something about my plan future and "why/how I would never touch drugs" I was one of the stoner kids in highschool and worse afterwards 🤣
I completely ignored all the DARE propaganda because I _knew_ it was propaganda after reading up on actual drug pharmacology and effects on websites like psychonautwiki and erowid.
Personally, I’m a fan of the way my school handles it; They put us all down in an assembly when we were 16/17 and went “listen, we know you guys are probably doing this shit, here’s a few ways you can do it safely.” Supervision instead of prevention saves lives.
your school must have been *incredible* lol, all we got was "only LOSERS and DROPOUTS smoke weed" and now jokes on them, I don't smoke or anything but im *still* a loser and a dropout :P
Meh, best method which my school employed was both. First prevention and then supervising the inevitable. Prevention stops the weak minded people/low esteem and filters the strong minded people/users to listen in on the ‘safe way’.
Fuckin way better than having to perform a song in my elementary school for D.A.R.E the just say no thing. I ended up smoking weed and unlocked schizophrenia
I mean, I've eaten my bodyweight in hallucinogens over the years. I'm more well adjusted than many, so it clearly didn't hurt me much. I also never turned into a granola munching vegan, a space cowboy, a moon unit, a spunion, or a tech bro turned wannabe savior, which seems to be where most of the other people who enjoy tripping end up. So I'm going to stick with doing my own thing, my own way. But best of luck to you. The worst part about doing most drugs are the other people you meet doing the same drugs, so you'll save yourself a whole lot of headaches and needless disappointment.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to Crack. Spent my whole life fighting Crack addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.
@@theangryaustralian7624well techically they are both mind altering drugs and sometimes weed can mess up peoples minds and mood forever, it's not without it's risks. Obviously meth is a million times worse and extremely addictive and it will kill you but still.
Knowing a nurse can be the greatest way of really convincing you against drugs. The stories of people having to inject between their toes and getting gangrene, or having some other shit happen and getting spinal ulcers (I don’t remember the specifics I just know it was horrific) are more than enough to make me never want to do drugs. There are so many ways to make drugs seem terrible, and we’re just not using them.
Yeah but at the same time , a shit ton of doctors do coke. Think is less common now than a few years ago but it was as common as in the restaurant industry at one point
[quick grammar edit] Okay, I'm sorry you're the comment section I'm going off in, but it seemed apt tbh. So here's the drug education i wish i could give everyone (American centric obv) First, my credentials for speaking on this topic: i currently smoke and grow weed legally, but did not actually smoke weed until i was 28 years old. That said, i lived with a drug dealer in Florida for ten years. I have spoken to druggies from all walks of life, i have tried a lot of drugs. Almost all of those drugs were prescription. So let get into this, shall we? So one thing i like to make clear is drug related crimes are only a felony because of racism. Essentially, black people got the vote, and suddenly people wanted to crack down on drugs, aka make it a felony, as felons cannot vote. Related, most black people were very poor, almost as if they were living in a society directly opposed to their entire existence. There is a common misconception that poor people are more likely to do drugs, but in this day and age, I don't imagine it will surprise anyone to hear the accurate version is simply "poor people are easier to arrest." On this same topic, you know Sherlock Holmes? He was not MEANT to be an "addict" character. The drugs he used were, at the time, about on the level of cigarettes. Known to be probably harmful, kind of a bad boy thing, but not illegal, and not life destroying. In fact, historically, humans have ALWAYS been doing drugs. And i mean that fully and 100% literally. We have, (probably) been doing drugs since before we evolved into homo sapiens. Look up "drunk animals" some time. There are countless animals who, given the opportunity, get absolutely fucked up with no hesitation. Dolphins, bears, every single bird ever. Cows! Monkeys, of course. I don't just mean the ones getting it from humans either (like monkeys who smoke or those bears who keep breaking into jet fuel containers) i mean, fermented fruit? Like, the precursor to wine? That happens naturally, all the time. Not ALL the time, but if fruit is left to rot, it can mold or it can ferment. I mean, grossly oversimplifying, this is already an essay lmao The point is, the only drugs that are illegal are drugs who's main "purpose" is fun. There's tons of legal drugs. You get them with a prescription, or over the counter. Tylenol and ibuprofen are SUPER HARMFUL lmao. Tylenol has killed a bunch of people! So why are certain drugs illegal? Because we can prove that the war on drugs? The drugs won. Or more accurately, the drug cartels. We have proven time and again that fearmongering and abstinence preaching are worse than ineffectual, they actively make it worse. As always, the correct answer is...education. It's taking precautions, but allowing people to make educated and informed decisions, whilst stopping other people from taking advantage of them. If we made the bad drugs controlled substances and distributed them as we do all our other drugs, we'd have a lot less people dying from drugs. I've known ER nurses, and in the middle of this, I'd like to share with you what they've told me they want you to know: If you come to them for help, they will not rat you out. They just want to save your life. To add to that, as someone who's poor: call the ambulance, go to the er. Go let them save your life. They'll send you a bill. You'll ignore it. You'll have bad credit. It'll suck. You'll be alive. To that effect, one of the big things people ACTUALLY trying to help drug addicts, is simply making safe places for people to go do drugs. Just somewhere anonymous you can just be near other people, you can have someone there to, at the very least, call an ambulance. Drug addiction is a health issue, not a moral one. Also like, don't talk about addiction and then be okay with cigarettes which are literally chemically engineered to maximize addiction. At least with weed, it's generally just the plant, maybe some paper. If we didn't make These Certain Drugs out to be evil, we could just...responsibly do drugs!!! Drink responsibly! Get high responsibly!!!!!! Do your research, and watch out for bias, external and internal!!! Question WHY things are illegal, question everything y'all!!! And on the "how to say no" to drugs? If you got nothing else from this rant, get this: As your gay aunt who smokes weed and rescues animals, if anyone offers you drugs and you say no, and they do not accept that no? You remember me, and you hear me, you do not need that person's like or respect. You tell them no and if they try to force the issue, you tell them to fuck off. That said, if a drug user is offering drugs, they just wanna hang out with you usually. They are also probably already high. They probably aren't trying to pressure you, they're just trying to be nice and being annoyingly persistent. I actually find this very cute generally, so i don't have good advice, but generally like. Just keep saying no!!! It's okay they're not gonna get mad they're too high they probably just forgot if they asked. In social smoking and the like it's considered rude to "hog the pipe" so we tend to be like oh my bad did you want some?? Like, if you were sitting there eating cookies with someone who didn't want cookies... wouldn't you feel kinda bad!!! They're just trynna share the vibe you don't actually have to partake!!!! If anyone Actually tries to make you though, cause there ARE those assholes! I offer you my secret weapon, as someone who seems like a pushover: pinch them. Back of the hand, front of the shoulder, like upper hip area, just somewhere easy to grab a lil skin. Not a BAD pinch. But if they DON'T stop then, progressively worse pinches is a good compromise between outright violence. And if the time comes for outright violence, gut punch, as is tradition. Alright I'm spent, thanks for coming to my tedtalk, genuinely feel free to ask me about my educated drug opinions. Just know if ur a dick i do bite back
Confirmation bias. Only people with those level of struggles end up with a nurse. Healthy people that didn’t have those issues won’t end up in your stories. Drugs are not inherently bad. Alcohol not being on the list despite being the number one killer tells you all you need to know about this video. Shallow, superficial, and clearly just enforcing the social images they want to. They mentioned how their morality was dictated by cops or something like that as a joke, but what’s ironic is that they clearly did let other people dictate their morality to that level.
Yeah but nurses only ever see the worst 1% of drug users. 99% are just living their lives, nurses only see the ones that are sick enough that they need the hospital
The bit about opiates is so true! (speaking from experience) It wont instantly make u feel addicted, thinking everyone lied to me so kept doing it. 2 seizures and 10 yrs later am instead hooked on the healthcare system to be able to even have a daily life. But thankful for treatment clinics :) Thanks for spreading good message ! liked subbed and comment
Weed is my fave, but people often go waaaay overboard with it because they have no concept of moderation. The stuff I take is significantly better than the myraid of bottles of prescriptions I used to take; things that once made me a nervous wreck with an inability to function properly since they all conflicted with one another. Im not saying meds are bad.... and hell, I was prescribed opioids after my wisdom teeth surgery since my jaw bone was destroyed, and I couldn't talk for 2 months because it hurt so bad... but pushing this strong shit for things that could be solved with water and an acetaminophen or two should be criminal.
Stop crying about overmedicating. Doctors are under medicating, i was given tylenol when i was dying in the hospital from rhabdomyolysis and couldnt move or walk because of my legs and fucked kidneys. I have turned to street drugs because of all my chronic illnesses that doctors were afraid to treat me with. They didnt give me controlled medication while i was in pain in the hospital, and because they didnt, i was severely traumatized my entire stay and was still in severe pain, so i turned once again to opioids.
I’m kind of the opposite and a mix of what you’re talking about. I have chronic health issues. I can’t take a lot of stuff because my digestive tract is super messed up and after a lot of trial and error, I seem to be the safest with opioids and Tylenol. If I could take anything else, I would because I hate the stigma. I’ve tried weed on multiple occasions and hate it. It makes me super paranoid and panicked, I absolutely did not feel better and I got tired of being told how I was doing it wrong: wrong strain, wrong method of consumption (inhaling vs. eating, etc), did too much, didn’t do enough, it was always something. I don’t even feel comfortable trying again because my experience mentally was just awful and, again, no relief in any way. I still get suggested and just, no. No, I can’t do it again.
@@carolinamurtha3102some people just have bad reactions to marijuana, just like any medications. I'm sorry people keep trying to push it onto you. I hope your current ones do you well!
I don’t want to get all sentimental and shit but I think it’s important that you added in the video how people do suffer from addiction, and that they just need help. I’ve had so many people close to me lose their lives due to addiction. If someone would have been there for them to seek serious help they might still be here. On another note I was a stripper for about 11 years, it’s completely true that the “finance bros” are always off the shits and the “alternative” people love sharing their Molly 😂.
As a person in the punk scene people dont really like sharing their molly very few really nice people actually want to share drugs with others and if they do its most likely molly acid depending on how much they bought perks sometimes shrooms depending on how much they got and coke
Second thing-I have, for numerous reasons, one of which is fear of the law, been terrified of trying non prescription drugs. One of my deep seated fears is not being able to know what’s going on around me, and for my perception of my environment to be compromised. Recently, one of my parents came across an article headline saying ‘some hallucinogens can be used to treat something-or-other-I-don’t-remember, but can be dangerous for certain individuals and cause things like permanent psychosis’ and was like ‘oof, not for us, since your grandfather had bipolar disorder, we are some of the people who would be at risk.’ And I was like ‘damn, that’s scary that something pretty harmless for some people can just fuck up someone’s brain so badly.’ Later, hanging out with my brother, I mentioned that text interaction. And he said ‘oh yeah, that’s what happened to [one of his childhood best friends]’ and I just stopped walking. ‘What?’ ‘Yeah, he can’t live on his own, his family has to take care of him full time. Fortunately they’re well-off and they care about him.’ But like. What a fucking gut punch
Pharmacology is a truly fascinating topic, we've got the basics down but there's still so much that's unknown. Genetics play a big role but there's a lot that's still not known in terms of predisposition to things like addiction and psychosis as well as what can possibly treat what.
I did a lot of LSD before I found out I was bipolar, but I'm bipolar 2 which is different than bipolar 1. Mushrooms actually have helped me a lot, but I take small amounts. I have the same fear as you so I am always very careful of where I get stuff and how much I take!
I will point one thing out, the bad trip statistic isnt the same thing as "fucking up your mental health pretty bad", i for evample didnt start having bad trips until my life was going bad but i didnt realize how bad my life was going, and it was only after i had suddenly gone from always having a good time to 3 bad trips in a row. On the third i figured something most be wrong that im freaking out so bad. Turns out my heart rate was chilling at 120 bpm most of the day and my chordisol level was through the roof, i had gained 30 pounds in those months i thought maybe i was just eating shit and not realizing it, no i just had very high stress levels and been getting anxiety multiple times a day. I thought the anxiety was just a weird chest pain. Once i got that sorted out and i went right back down to normal 6 months later. Took a trip after that and had a wonderful time again. Moral of the story? If you get anxious smoking weed, dont fucking touch psychedelics. If youve never done psychedelics, dont tell people you have and take some. If yall arent ready then dont take it. I recommend yall start with dmt. U can take a very small amount which will feel and look like lsd but will only last 10 to 20 minutes. Otherwise stick to dreaming and having fevers for weird visuals
I wouldn't describe DMT as being a good intro, while sure a vape hit will give a brief high you have significantly less time to process what's going on and measured dosing is virtually infeasible. Better options (based on availability) would probably be iprocin, miprocin, or really just psilocybe assuming their potency is measured so you can measure alkaloid content by dry weight.
This is good advice other than the DMT. I don't recommend that for inexperienced people. Microdosing on mushrooms from a reliable source might be a good start for someone who is nervous and wants to ease in.
@@chrisashtonlightell-west1189 no see, that's the idea, see the thing is about n-n-dmt is that it has no effects on the body, only the body, you can put it in a pen and only take one small hit. You will not blast off, it takes alot at once for that. The lower doses of dmt is quite similar to lsd but the effects will still only last minutes, vs lsd which lasts 12+ hours. Low doses of shrooms could be alright. But the stomach pains some people can have everytime they fo shrooms no matter what can send some people into a bad time. Shrooms to me are the highest level of difficulty. Because they can sneak up on you, even at a low dose. Dmt can't, if you measure your dose, you will not get too high. If you stick it in a pen and keep the wattage low, you'll never be able to blast off no matter how much you hit it. I use dmt carts at raves because I can get a little high and enjoy visuals but be sober in a few minutes to go get some water and maybe a snack
@@chrisashtonlightell-west1189 there is alot of tricks you can do with psychedelics. For example, do you want to trip the whole time but also be able to talk and meet people? Low dose of molly or sally (I recommend you havent done molly for 3 months at least) and u can take up to 300ug of lsd and be completely capable of assessing your surroundings. If you don't know what sally is, its MDA. it's the first love drug and it's exactly the same as molly. It's called sally because it's straight up extracted from the sassafras plant. But it became illegal quickly and molly came out and stayed legal for a few years. Even though sally is easier to make and has the same effects, it is not as well known.
I really don't agree with saying if you get anxious from weed you'll necessarily have a bad trip from psychedelics. Weed gives me legit mind melting schizo breakdowns, but even my worst trip on shrooms was just feeling a bit somber and reflective about my past, no spiraling meltdowns or anything. At the end of the day every substance is different, just don't do shit you genuinely don't like or think you'll enjoy
i am a type 1 diabetic. when i was younger i didn't have a insulin pump. so i always had needles on me to take my insulin. people all the time thought i was shooting up drugs. why they thought my stomach and thighs were the place to take hard drugs is beyond me
IV is generally preferred but plenty of people who either destroyed all their visible veins, just don't want to IV or they're using something that simply can't be IVed but can be IMed so they IM/SC it instead. All has to do with bioavailability, IV is generally 100% and IM/SC are a close second in the high 90s (usually 95%-98%) plus onset is quicker, if not essentially instantaneous. Doubt they knew that, lot of people just see a needle and jump to wild conclusions smh. DARE worked to cause fear in a lot of people, unfortunately the actual "education" part was all but nonexistent which is pretty sad considering the word "education" is literally in the name...
I was having this constant and unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across Ted Winston, a very intelligent mycologist, He saved my life honestly.
My dad left when I was very young. A few years ago he died of an overdose before I ever got the chance to meet him. Ever since then, I've been helping my friends get off drugs and vowed to never do them myself. I hope the message of this video gets out more. Peace ✌️
Can’t wait for this, always enjoyed watching tugg sometimes freak out over the most random things Edit: this was written before he uploaded the video, I know it seems like this comment makes no sense but it did before 😂
I love psychedelics but I definitely understand why ppl fear them, after having quite a few bad trips I will say that you would want to avoid that experience at all costs
No one ever talks about how good drugs make you feel, at least in the beginning. But then, how threatening that is to having a chance at a decent life. Great video! ❤
interesting perspective. Drugs did me well bad... I am such a terrible person with a wasted life. I mean, who would want to go plant based and becaome a nature activist and abandon capitalism and learn to grow food forests and learn to homestead land with other hippy and nature types. It is such a wasted life to tend to nature during the day then travel to inner worlds with your chosen family in the evenings... Hint the 'drugs' are not the problem.
@@stultum u dont die quick unless you do too much of it or you do some shit like fentanyl why do u think so many addicts are old and homeless they probably got addicted in the 90s
if these drugs were prescribed you wouldn't say shit, drugs aren't bad its how people use them. search whats in 90% of the off the counter pills you can buy and see people use constantly and tell me how they're any better, even meth is sold LEGALLY under prescription for adhd and obesity as Desoxyn. only difference is more professional equipment thats cleaned properly (I'd have to assume at least) which is the real problem with drugs: the instability of them, they need to be made very specific and any little bacterias in them could ruin you. that's why instead of demonizing drugs we need to educate people and make it more legal to where actual pharmacys would be giving it to you instead of that one friend who peaked in high school who got it probably got it from some dude making/growing it in a half deteriorated excuse of a trailer in the middle of nowhere.
As someone who was on oxys, benzos, fentanyl, morphine, adderall, nervestimulants that enhances the effect of said drug's above If you absolutely do not need it, do not take it. Please. I'm on subutex now, I went through it. but I cannot remember the majority of YEARS of my life. Its scary seeing pictures not knowing where you were, why you were there, who you were with and so on. And the scariest shit is I know I could end up deep in it again, once an addict, always an addict, it changes your brain.
The thing about hallucinations and weed is true. In fact i guess it depends a little on the person and the dosage but mostly even in higher higher doses you dont start to see crazy shit. I have to add tho: If you start to take psychedelics, especially like LSD, DMT, 5-meo-dmt and stuff, you brain changes so much that in fact the high you get from weed changes a lot. In fact, ever since i took LSD for the first time (took mushrooms before a lot, didn't have an impact) my perception of weed changed so much that now if i take high doses of Cannabis, it actually somewhat feels like a psychedelic trip with very subtile visual hallucinations.
I hate how DARE and other commercials made us see drug users as zombie-like beings looking for their next fix. It can literally be anyone in your family who's an addict. Hell, I was an addict for a while til my fiance helped me quit. Addicts deserve compassion and help. ❤
lol starting 2024 watching this from my bed in hospital detoxing from prescription opioid pain killers. AMA if you have any addiction questions. Love ya Big T ❤
tysm for this video!!!!!!!! my tip for any dr_g (esp hallucinogens) is that you can always take more but you can never untake them. so always start at a safe dose & see how u feel before u try more
Just putting this out there, marijuana absolutely CAN be an intense hallucinogenic, but only if you have the right genes. I would know, because I would go into a cartoon world the few times I tried it. Like, seriously. It was like Roger Rabbit!
@@bryanergau6682 "People who have taken large doses of marijuana may experience an acute psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and a loss of the sense of personal identity. These unpleasant but temporary reactions are distinct from longer-lasting psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, that may be associated with the use of marijuana in vulnerable individuals." Completely true. I literally believed that dragons were flying above my house.
The most I've experienced personally is feeling like I'm walking at 20fps and slight visual perception changes like if I stare at a popcorn ceiling for long enough the things will move in a bit of a pattern.
I’ve had a fair amount of weed in my time, and there was only one instance where I started to hallucinate that my skull was melting and reforming over and over. It was terrifying and VERY unlike what I normally experience, and 15 years later I’m still convinced it was laced with something. At least it wasn’t fentanyl. Stay safe, kids.
I get synesthesia sometimes, which I don't experience sober. I don't partake very often, and it doesn't happen every time, but strain and/or quantity probably plays into it
Another reasonable excuse to avoid taking psychedelics (or a plethora of similar things) is "I've got a family history of psychosis and really don't want to risk it." Could even add in, "My (mom/dad) took that and it caused HPPD that ultimately resulted in a diagnosis of schizophrenia. 20 years later, still needs meds to control the unwanted visual distortions." There's also, "Can't, I'm on a prescription and I've looked it up, there's a dangerous interaction warning if I take that." That actually works for anything, for everything recreational, there's something available via prescription or even OTC that can't be mixed with it. Everything else is pretty easy, simple as "I'm good, tried it before and just felt overly sleepy/anxious/paranoid/speedy/uncomfortable, got zero euphoria unfortunately." Tbh, if you have a spine you don't need some excuse, what you choose to do is on you and anybody who can't understand that will after getting shouted at lol Funny thing is that I'm actually strongly against prohibition and could care less what adults take, that's their right imo. I just don't like peer pressure, choice goes both ways. Regardless of if you want to enjoy the night whacked out on everything under the sun or completely sober, that's a personal choice nobody has the right to criticize. When it stops being something that's used to enjoy life and starts becoming something to escape or gets in the way of normal life, that's when it's a problem, moderation is key. It's the difference between having a few beers after work and drinking at work, "drinking" can be replaced with anything else including just behaviors and the core concept is still the same.
Marijuana can have psychoactive effects especially if it's laced with something else. It mostly depends on how much you smoke and your personal genetic makeup. But it can cause hallucinations and acute psychosis in some cases.
Weed absolutely makes me see things that are not there, absolutely and without a question. I get a laugh out of people telling me it doesent do that because im speaking from experience. Now im not saying that means it should be prohibited, im also not saying it was necessarily *bad* the few times its happened, like it would have obviously been insanely unsafe for me to drive or something like that, but the stuff i was seeing was generally just fun and goofy. but it does need to be acknowledged it does happen
As an opiate addict who's been off the needle for 15 years, I really appreciate the PSA. You're a good egg Tugg. I'm a victim of DARE. It contributed heavily in me becoming an iv-addict. Never tell kids half-truths.
This is not the truth mate, this guy has no idea, the fact he had to correct himself for a neurotransmitter and wrote the CORRECTION wrong says all u need to know
Have you published or do you know of any good primary sources about how DARE leads to addiction? I feel like that's a valuable perspective to be explored.
@mistermoo7602 There are quite a few papers, numerous non-peer reviewed studies, and heaps of anecdotes from addicts. But if you're intetested in actual published papers, I'm only familiar with one called: "Assessing the effects of school based drug education: A six year analysis of DARE" by D. Rosenbaum and another name I can't recall at the moment. It shouldn't be too hard to find more. For me personally it was like with many others. I tried marijuana and since it didn't turn me in to a junkie caricature that 70s and 80s movies were full of, it put everything I was taught in to question. Psychedelics didn't make me psychotic but actually offered some benefits. So when I came on to contact with hard drugs, I had no idea that the warnings were true this time.
@JeffBenzos2006 Did I say it was? We use to fix something that's missing, physical or psychological. Dare made it seem cannabis was on the same tier as heroin. After realizing pot wasn't that bad, everything else they claimed became suspect. Made it a whole lot easier to try H.
@@mistermoo7602 It seems the yt algorithm didn't allow me to even mention the paper by name. Every attempt at answering you gets deleted. They're out there but you're going to have to search for yourself. Sry 😟
It's not bad people that take drugs it's the drugs that change their attitude my sister was addicted to many drugs at 14 and took her 7 to 8 yrs to be clean she's as sweet as the day is warm.
I’ve lost countless friends, been in and out of prison, did things I’ll never be forgiven for, wasted my entire life, drove away a beautiful amazing loyal woman, overdosed, brain barely functioning, yeah don’t do drugs.
This is coming from an avid pothead I have smoked weed on multiple occasions where I did have vivid hallucinations from sheer strength and volume anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t realize marijuana affects different people differently
As an introvert who also is into psychedelics, tripping alone is so much fun, nobody else is affecting your space and you don't have to compromise during your trip. You can drink as much tea, draw, and watch as many weird movies as you want. It's great! And your cat won't get scared off so you can snuggle with them
I started off as a psychonaut in the 90s. It was the golden age of designer drugs, before legislation had caught up. My friends wanted to go to raves or parties to trip. I enjoyed being alone at home, sitting on front of the computer, playing with trip-toys and hanging in IRC. I then slowly graduated to hard drugs, but that's another story. I too was a DARE victim. It contributed to my becoming an iv-addict.
I’ve had great experiences tripping everywhere. The first few times I was cautious and had people around me and did all the things people say I should. After a few trips I quickly gained the experience to understand and confident that it’s literally just my mind, and no situation can change my mood as much as my thoughts. I’ve tripped at parties, one time being particularly open about my thoughts and feelings with this girl because I was tripping and felt my insecurities melt away. We’ve been dating in the years since and I want to marry her. Many of my best trips were doing an 8th by myself and just walking around. I’m very thankful I decided to take that leap. My life changed
did some legal-grade weed from that MOOD store I kept seeing online when my family went away on vacay. I stayed to take care of our animals, and I'd take a hit after all the critters were in bed for the night. It was honestly such a nice time, I got so much creative work done and had a chance to breathe that I didn't know I was missing. Still, it's very important, even if you're taking something safe and well-regulated, make sure you know what you're doing beforehand and don't go overboard. Better to have an underwhelming experience than to take yourself too far and not be able to come back until it's over.
@cindyvortex6029 Cats can read you like an open book. My late butthead roomie was always very aloof, really didn't enjoy being held. He sat on your lap on his own terms and took off the second you tried to move or cuddle him too much. I was having a bit of a crisis and feeling *horrible*. I put in a brave face and no one was the wiser. Except that butthead, he suddenly transformed in to a cuddle hungry kitten. He'd constantly be checking on me and talking to me. Lasted as long as my little crisis did. The minute I was feeling better he was back to his old self. The only attention you got from him was a "wtf you looking at?" or "feed me dickhead!". Miss you Jesse, you were a good butthead ❤
Oooooh geeez, you just reminded me about that time I was in the psyche ward and they brought a guy in who’d removed his own eyes with a spoon. He had a 24-7 attendant to teach him how to deal with being blind. I mean…some people just shouldn’t do drugs.
what weed is actually like, from somebody whos smoked weed: 1. you zone out of reality as if your trying to think of something but you dont realize your in a deep thought then reality shifts back to normal then this repeats constantly 2. you think about the universe really hard trapped in this state of zoning in and out 3. existential crisis 4. food seems really good 5. you realize its been 5 hours when youve lost all concept of time and to you it felt like either infinity or 30 minutes 6. really chill and calm 7. wanna do silly things while high 8. the constant zoning in and out makes it hard to speak ect but when you do the things and get them over with it feels really easy (you basically auto pilot everything) think about that then times it by 10... yeah its that amazing
Confounding variable: they could have taken bath salts and such at a different point in their life. Isolating cannabinoids is nonsensical. All the people who smoke and don’t turn into killers will never be used as an example.
I love how he chooses The Moldau, one of the most beautiful pieces of classical music, to talk about GENITAL MUTILATION and I wholeheartedly believe Smetana would have wanted it that way :D
i've heard very good things about taking on the role of designated trip-sitter and how it's very beneficial to everyone involved, so it was awesome to hear you talk about it. if i'm in a situation like that i'll certainly offer to do that and see how it goes.
Legit the best anti drug video I've ever seen! And I used to BE one of the PPO's! (Still not sure what it stands for lol but I get the idea) I have been clean for 3 years now and I feel so blessed every day. I honestly think all teens should see this video with actual GOOD ideas of how to turn down drugs without feeling lame. Even though in all reality drugs are what is lame, I understand all too well how peer pressure is even if they are jusy using it around u and not pressing you, it's still a battle almost everyone will encounter in their life. And it's one of the most pivotal decisions u will ever make in regards to your life it really is. Thanks for this Tugg
I've tried psychedelics quite a few times. For a few weeks after any trip, cannabis will be extremely psychedelic itself. I've had full blown hallucinations that existed within reality from only cannabis. Like I could walk up to the patterns and lies I was seeing. I've also had mild flashbacks to a psychedelic experience. Like something can trigger me to start tripping. Hasn't happened in years, but the last time it did happen, I was on the phone with my dad... Took a bong hit, and just something he said made my mind start tripping lol.
Believe it or not the “unicorns and rainbows” drugs have been highly contested for their medicinal purposes recently. I knew a guy who fixed his PTSD by himself on mushrooms with a RUclips video. The psychedelic drugs are rarely addictive and if used in correct doses in controlled environments can produce some surprising results
@@Doylie4122 that’s true, but these drugs don’t cause physical dependence like alcohol or nicotine. Plus they have like a built-in cool down. Immediately after the trip if you take another right away it’ll be as if you took a quarter of your original dose but after 2 weeks or so you’ll be back to normal, so that discourages a lot of psychological addiction potential
Not saying, you should take it, that depends on your state of mind, your mental health history, and weather or not u want to. I’m just saying they’re not the villain the media makes them appear. And if you correctly (in moderation and therapeutic settings) they can be incredibly beneficial.
so...who cares? We're not talking "overweight guy is addicted to food" or "lady can't stop buying eyeliner so she's addicted to makeup." non-addictive means "you won't be fighting for your life like with nicotine or alcohol if you try to stop using it." Why try and bring up the inherent addictiveness of all things, just to try to keep saying certain non-addictive drugs are totally-addictive-for-real-you-guys? It's a silly way of arguing the topic, and it doesn't mean much when discussing addiction.@@Doylie4122
3:32 I did see shit with LEGAL MEDICATION my psychiatrist didn't warn me to don't take the medication close together and I did it before bed and I swear to God I play Stardew valley on my celling like the celling was the screen
Weed is helpful in moderation. I typically smoke twice a week, except when I'm PMSing and then it's just a full week (autism and PMS don't mix well, kids). Taking it for my PMS has also helped me get better at predicting when my period starts! It's a matter of tracking your habits and being mindful. Also, Tugg, visual hallucinations are more common with mushrooms. I have those occasionally as well, but that’s for spiritual reasons.
I actually have had borderline trips on weed before, especially edibles. Its not super common, were isolated cases, but still. Course ive also had actual trips, some of which changed my life for the better, but ive also had friends be put into complete psychosis by the same drug sooo theyre to be taken with caution and a level of mental openess you didnt think was possible until it becomes necessary to survive the trip. I would sort of count myself as one of the 'hippie' types you mentioned, but im not going to push someone to try any of those items. Ive never done stuff like molly because im not there to get a euphoric rush. I try to inform people about what I know regarding the substances (which is a surprising amount) and just enjoy telling them how it benefited me, but also explaining exactly why it can end up going horribly, also based on my own personal experience as mentioned above.
Lol Edibles can be crazy lol buddy of mine let me lick out the bowl he made it with and it was proper weird brain was skipping like an old vhs tape. Had to go for a lie down after that lol
as someone who is in college and not planning to do drugs until after graduation, thank you for the tips on who to avoid. The only other thing i took from this video is that tucker likes the lisa frank style(as per the graphics at 3:25) and should have lisa frank paraphernalia/merch sent to his po box (if he has one)
I have a nightmare disorder where my brain decides to make up a new horror movie every night. When I found out weed stops you from dreaming, well I’ll just say some nights now I feel better rested. Please don’t tell my secret, I’d burned at the steak in my conservative town…
3:06 I've heard that high concentrations of THC can be hallucinogenic - like way more than you'd get from smoking weed. Has anyone heard (or experienced) similar?
All has to do with brain chemistry, it's an extremely rare side effect but it's not unheard of especially in high doses and/or in people who have no tolerance. Also ROA doesn't matter, orally it's just easier to accidentally use too much
@@Blunt_ManThanks for the info. I've never tried myself, but I'm curious. (no reason against it, was just raised super conservative and wasn't around it).
I’ve eaten excessively dosed edibles and honestly the hallucinogenic effects are very underwhelming, walls breathing slightly, object seems to move on it’s own for a couple secs, but not much more than that. Delta-9-thc is only a partial agonist at cannabinoid receptors, which means hallucinations are rare and only really present at extremely high doses, but full agonists of cannabinoid receptors like JWH-018 (spice) can make you have really unpleasant and intense hallucinations.
I have no idea how drugs work and I've recently started trying to take back control over how i consume media and this video sent down a rabbit hole of trying to learn how drugs actually work, thank you big tugg for this very good video
You'll notice none of those crazy stories were about someone smoking weed, this is why I'm a stoner, and don't touch anything else with a 10 foot barge pole
As a recovering heroin/fentanyl addict. He is very right about the pills. It does take awhile to become addicted in the sense of having withdrawals. And by that time its to late. Your physically dependent and the withdrawals are so bad you cant imagine willingly going through that so you keep using to avoid the sickness and over time you start to lose your moral compass you start considering more questionable things to get money to get more. And it can start with a legal prescription, that your not warned about ahead of time( now it may be different doctors may be better about warning people now, I've been off pills for 10 years) and that can lead to other drugs. Because you run out of your pills and turn to other things like heroin. Sometimes you end up addicted because you DO take your meds the way your supposed to but after awhile you will build a tolerance and it won't work anymore and then the withdrawals Happen. It's a horrible thing to go through ive struggles with addiction for yeara, my whole family are addict. I lost my mom to an overdose. And i genuinely hope that the situation improves soon. Youll never get rid of addiction all together but it could be better than it is.
This video reminds me of the time my school had everyone take a test, and it was one where they said to answer honestly. It was asking if we've used anything like [bath salts, other things like that] and i clicked yes on the bath salts because i thought they meant putting it in the bath to help with joint pain, but now i don't think they meant that, and now i have that on my record probably, thats going to haunt me for the rest of my days qwq
There's no record, those things are anonymous but they are used to make up statistics so the number of people who use bath salts amongst your age range is now slightly off. With the amount of people who just lie, checking "yes" ironically probably actually helped to make the end results more accurate, even if by only a very small percentage lol
Had a friend in highschool who said he would do every drug at least once and now he’s living with his underage girlfriend in a Camper. He also stole his rich neighbors $14000 bottle of tequila and filled it with water. And he tried to make me take shrooms and cocaine. Together. While his mom was there.
my aunt i was closest to died of fentynol 2 yrs ago and i watched as my boyfriend almost died from something in the meth he took last year but thank god hes alive and clean today and doing so so so much better. And as someone who grew up around it i had to unlearn my trauma responses to his relapsing. Shaming and yelling isnt going to help it will push people further to it i promise. Beimg there for someone and encouraging healthier life choices is the best thing you can do for someone with addiction. if youre struggling with please know people care about you and want to see you around and get better so desperately. You matter more than any substance that's for fucking sure
something that people don't talk about enough (i think): you can form addictions to technically non-addictive substances, or behaviors, if you start using them as a coping mechanism. if it's something you use to get through life and you feel you couldn't cope otherwise, it's an addiction. this isn't necessarily harmful, depending on what you're doing, but it's good to be aware, and make sure your coping mechanisms aren't harming you or the people around you in any way so, particularly if the substance or whatever it is has addictive properties to begin with, however mild they are, it can be a dangerous game to play. some people also struggle with addiction more than others, just because their brains are wired that way, i think (these are all my own opinions and observations, speaking from the perspective of ongoing recovery from an ED and SH and a fascination with psychology. some research but no experience with drugs. knowing my tendencies and limits, if i started doing drugs i would probably never stop)
You are conscious that you recognize the bug, but the bug doesn’t recognize you. It’s just going about its day, surviving, avoiding danger, looking for food - oblivious that some entity of higher consciousness is observing it, like God looking down from the clouds.
@@Targetshopper4000 There isn't *the* recipe, because there are multiple ways of synthesizing meth. Most popular are probably (pseudo)ephedrine plus iodine and red phosphorus and, if want to be more professional, then there is the large-scale manufacture via phenylacetone (which itself must be produced because it's impossible to buy as a meth precursor) and methylamine by way of hydrogenation in the presence of a platinum metal. That's not illegal to know.
I remember being offered drugs a bunch at school by my own schoolmates, I always told them why (uncle did drugs and he had to have multiple organ transplants because of it) I never demonized them for it and they never thought me a square.
Me being an addict: - Alcohol is a drug its just called alcohol 😂 - Pills and alcohol are horrible for you together, but thats what my mom got me hooked on - Most people are on drugs do to depression and/or abuse from their past - To quote John Lennon "whatever gets you through the night, its alright its alright - hallucinogens help some people - doing pot in some form is way healthier than pain meds, alcohol, heroin etc - my best wishes and love to all my addicts out there -Big Tugg hallucinogens will sometimes make you see rainbows and unicorns one my my friends sees pink penguins lol Also Ive seen things smoking pot...purple spots, moving ceiling with plants growing through...your brain reacts differently to shit As a trip sitter i have seen my friends do crazy shit lol 😂
Which drugs will he do, well we know he would never do meth or coke, not on camera, he can't say it's for a video he would have to say he was a former user- ah what am I saying he would have never done that.
I actually really like how he doesn't seem to have struggled with addiction to, say opiates, but he's very understanding and empathetic of the struggle of addiction as it relates to society as a whole.
As a stoner, this man is my idol now
I never personally dealt with anyone that used them. But I know someone I thought was nice OD'd in highschool. I only learned about that when she wasn't on the bus after summer. hard drugs are no bueno, people that do them really need help.
I was a hard opiate addict, and a total garbage pail user. It's hard to find someone who has some sympathy while simultaneously being very clear about staying the fuck away from the stuff.
I wouldn't wish an opiate addiction upon anyone.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🕊️🤔🤔🤔
Day 5 of sobriety from weed after 7 years straight. Withdrawls already settled down surprisingly other than the irritability. I’m happier than I was when I was going hard. They say it’s not addictive but I was addicted.
Yeah weed withdrawal goes fast thankfully. I've had to take breaks before and it just takes a few days before you feel normal again. Hard to sleep though.
What were your withdrawls like? my parents told me i had withdrawls when it really just felt like goin back to how i felt before smoking. aka, all the pain and constant puking which was the reason i started smoking to begin with.
That's great, keep it up.
Well they say theres no addictive SUBSTANCE in weed, but having an addictive personality is what makes it seem so. A lot of those people work in repetition and dont favor change, and weed is a part of routine. Rolling a blunt becomes ritual and scheduled, you start smoking to improve food enjoyment, for sleep, for headaches ( i cough too much so this wouldnt work for me personally ) they smoke socially, they smoke when theyre alone, before work, after work, to help focus when studying or engaging with tv. Theres no substance that you get latched onto but WE as humans can latch ourselves onto habit. So its correct to say weed isnt addictive. But that isnt saying you cant be addicted, its just saying its on you. Not the drug. If you had a different personality, and some discipline that might jot otherwise be there, it becomes abundantly clear that theres no actual addiction of that kind. That and people who depend on being high to get through a day NOT because withdrawal, but anxiety and not liking interacting with people, or whatever the case is. That can make you depend on it to function. So once more, that would be them and their dependence on it to make those things easier, and it becomes habit. then when they dont have it for that they get mad. Its not withdrawal in that sense, its just inconvenient that you ran out lol. Some people weed is like their phone. A blunt is always in their hands.
phones can be an addiction and its not something you ingested. Its behavior.
I remember when D.A.R.E was big in the 90s, I even won a D.A.R.E essay competition in 5th grade, something about my plan future and "why/how I would never touch drugs" I was one of the stoner kids in highschool and worse afterwards 🤣
When I won the dare essay contest they had me read my essay at an assembly in front of the whole school
I completely ignored all the DARE propaganda because I _knew_ it was propaganda after reading up on actual drug pharmacology and effects on websites like psychonautwiki and erowid.
@@prestonbruchmiller497 damn I was in poland(europe) so we didn't have this kind of stuff
Yup
crazy
Personally, I’m a fan of the way my school handles it;
They put us all down in an assembly when we were 16/17 and went “listen, we know you guys are probably doing this shit, here’s a few ways you can do it safely.”
Supervision instead of prevention saves lives.
your school must have been *incredible* lol, all we got was "only LOSERS and DROPOUTS smoke weed" and now jokes on them, I don't smoke or anything but im *still* a loser and a dropout :P
Meh, best method which my school employed was both. First prevention and then supervising the inevitable. Prevention stops the weak minded people/low esteem and filters the strong minded people/users to listen in on the ‘safe way’.
Thats how my school is too, except its a middle school😭

As someone who’s always wanted to not try drugs, I will take your advice.
I mean, I've eaten my bodyweight in hallucinogens over the years. I'm more well adjusted than many, so it clearly didn't hurt me much. I also never turned into a granola munching vegan, a space cowboy, a moon unit, a spunion, or a tech bro turned wannabe savior, which seems to be where most of the other people who enjoy tripping end up. So I'm going to stick with doing my own thing, my own way.
But best of luck to you. The worst part about doing most drugs are the other people you meet doing the same drugs, so you'll save yourself a whole lot of headaches and needless disappointment.
@@RevShifty Good to know :D
Always wanted to, but never been able to not try them, eh? 🤣
I've been clean for 8 week now & enjoying life. Drugs can & will destroy your future, family, bank account & mental health.
@@happy_life779 That’s fantastic! Now I know drugs suck from someone who’s been doing better without ’em
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to Crack. Spent my whole life fighting Crack addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Hey! Yes Dr.benfungi
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

Knowing a nurse can be the greatest way of really convincing you against drugs. The stories of people having to inject between their toes and getting gangrene, or having some other shit happen and getting spinal ulcers (I don’t remember the specifics I just know it was horrific) are more than enough to make me never want to do drugs. There are so many ways to make drugs seem terrible, and we’re just not using them.
Yeah but at the same time , a shit ton of doctors do coke. Think is less common now than a few years ago but it was as common as in the restaurant industry at one point
[quick grammar edit]
Okay, I'm sorry you're the comment section I'm going off in, but it seemed apt tbh. So here's the drug education i wish i could give everyone (American centric obv)
First, my credentials for speaking on this topic: i currently smoke and grow weed legally, but did not actually smoke weed until i was 28 years old. That said, i lived with a drug dealer in Florida for ten years. I have spoken to druggies from all walks of life, i have tried a lot of drugs. Almost all of those drugs were prescription. So let get into this, shall we?
So one thing i like to make clear is drug related crimes are only a felony because of racism. Essentially, black people got the vote, and suddenly people wanted to crack down on drugs, aka make it a felony, as felons cannot vote. Related, most black people were very poor, almost as if they were living in a society directly opposed to their entire existence. There is a common misconception that poor people are more likely to do drugs, but in this day and age, I don't imagine it will surprise anyone to hear the accurate version is simply "poor people are easier to arrest."
On this same topic, you know Sherlock Holmes? He was not MEANT to be an "addict" character. The drugs he used were, at the time, about on the level of cigarettes. Known to be probably harmful, kind of a bad boy thing, but not illegal, and not life destroying.
In fact, historically, humans have ALWAYS been doing drugs. And i mean that fully and 100% literally. We have, (probably) been doing drugs since before we evolved into homo sapiens. Look up "drunk animals" some time. There are countless animals who, given the opportunity, get absolutely fucked up with no hesitation. Dolphins, bears, every single bird ever. Cows! Monkeys, of course. I don't just mean the ones getting it from humans either (like monkeys who smoke or those bears who keep breaking into jet fuel containers) i mean, fermented fruit? Like, the precursor to wine? That happens naturally, all the time. Not ALL the time, but if fruit is left to rot, it can mold or it can ferment. I mean, grossly oversimplifying, this is already an essay lmao
The point is, the only drugs that are illegal are drugs who's main "purpose" is fun. There's tons of legal drugs. You get them with a prescription, or over the counter. Tylenol and ibuprofen are SUPER HARMFUL lmao. Tylenol has killed a bunch of people! So why are certain drugs illegal?
Because we can prove that the war on drugs? The drugs won. Or more accurately, the drug cartels. We have proven time and again that fearmongering and abstinence preaching are worse than ineffectual, they actively make it worse.
As always, the correct answer is...education. It's taking precautions, but allowing people to make educated and informed decisions, whilst stopping other people from taking advantage of them. If we made the bad drugs controlled substances and distributed them as we do all our other drugs, we'd have a lot less people dying from drugs.
I've known ER nurses, and in the middle of this, I'd like to share with you what they've told me they want you to know: If you come to them for help, they will not rat you out. They just want to save your life. To add to that, as someone who's poor: call the ambulance, go to the er. Go let them save your life. They'll send you a bill. You'll ignore it. You'll have bad credit. It'll suck. You'll be alive.
To that effect, one of the big things people ACTUALLY trying to help drug addicts, is simply making safe places for people to go do drugs. Just somewhere anonymous you can just be near other people, you can have someone there to, at the very least, call an ambulance.
Drug addiction is a health issue, not a moral one.
Also like, don't talk about addiction and then be okay with cigarettes which are literally chemically engineered to maximize addiction. At least with weed, it's generally just the plant, maybe some paper.
If we didn't make These Certain Drugs out to be evil, we could just...responsibly do drugs!!! Drink responsibly! Get high responsibly!!!!!!
Do your research, and watch out for bias, external and internal!!! Question WHY things are illegal, question everything y'all!!!
And on the "how to say no" to drugs?
If you got nothing else from this rant, get this:
As your gay aunt who smokes weed and rescues animals, if anyone offers you drugs and you say no, and they do not accept that no? You remember me, and you hear me, you do not need that person's like or respect. You tell them no and if they try to force the issue, you tell them to fuck off. That said, if a drug user is offering drugs, they just wanna hang out with you usually. They are also probably already high. They probably aren't trying to pressure you, they're just trying to be nice and being annoyingly persistent. I actually find this very cute generally, so i don't have good advice, but generally like. Just keep saying no!!! It's okay they're not gonna get mad they're too high they probably just forgot if they asked. In social smoking and the like it's considered rude to "hog the pipe" so we tend to be like oh my bad did you want some?? Like, if you were sitting there eating cookies with someone who didn't want cookies... wouldn't you feel kinda bad!!! They're just trynna share the vibe you don't actually have to partake!!!! If anyone Actually tries to make you though, cause there ARE those assholes! I offer you my secret weapon, as someone who seems like a pushover: pinch them. Back of the hand, front of the shoulder, like upper hip area, just somewhere easy to grab a lil skin. Not a BAD pinch. But if they DON'T stop then, progressively worse pinches is a good compromise between outright violence. And if the time comes for outright violence, gut punch, as is tradition.
Alright I'm spent, thanks for coming to my tedtalk, genuinely feel free to ask me about my educated drug opinions. Just know if ur a dick i do bite back

Confirmation bias. Only people with those level of struggles end up with a nurse. Healthy people that didn’t have those issues won’t end up in your stories.
Drugs are not inherently bad.
Alcohol not being on the list despite being the number one killer tells you all you need to know about this video. Shallow, superficial, and clearly just enforcing the social images they want to.
They mentioned how their morality was dictated by cops or something like that as a joke, but what’s ironic is that they clearly did let other people dictate their morality to that level.
Yeah but nurses only ever see the worst 1% of drug users. 99% are just living their lives, nurses only see the ones that are sick enough that they need the hospital

Thanks for spreading good message !
liked subbed and comment
Weed is my fave, but people often go waaaay overboard with it because they have no concept of moderation. The stuff I take is significantly better than the myraid of bottles of prescriptions I used to take; things that once made me a nervous wreck with an inability to function properly since they all conflicted with one another.
Im not saying meds are bad.... and hell, I was prescribed opioids after my wisdom teeth surgery since my jaw bone was destroyed, and I couldn't talk for 2 months because it hurt so bad... but pushing this strong shit for things that could be solved with water and an acetaminophen or two should be criminal.
Real
Stop crying about overmedicating. Doctors are under medicating, i was given tylenol when i was dying in the hospital from rhabdomyolysis and couldnt move or walk because of my legs and fucked kidneys. I have turned to street drugs because of all my chronic illnesses that doctors were afraid to treat me with. They didnt give me controlled medication while i was in pain in the hospital, and because they didnt, i was severely traumatized my entire stay and was still in severe pain, so i turned once again to opioids.
I mean I do edibles regularly but it's mostly for pain. I've known people who can't do anything without getting high and it makes me sad 😢
I’m kind of the opposite and a mix of what you’re talking about. I have chronic health issues. I can’t take a lot of stuff because my digestive tract is super messed up and after a lot of trial and error, I seem to be the safest with opioids and Tylenol. If I could take anything else, I would because I hate the stigma. I’ve tried weed on multiple occasions and hate it. It makes me super paranoid and panicked, I absolutely did not feel better and I got tired of being told how I was doing it wrong: wrong strain, wrong method of consumption (inhaling vs. eating, etc), did too much, didn’t do enough, it was always something. I don’t even feel comfortable trying again because my experience mentally was just awful and, again, no relief in any way. I still get suggested and just, no. No, I can’t do it again.
@@carolinamurtha3102some people just have bad reactions to marijuana, just like any medications. I'm sorry people keep trying to push it onto you. I hope your current ones do you well!
I don’t want to get all sentimental and shit but I think it’s important that you added in the video how people do suffer from addiction, and that they just need help. I’ve had so many people close to me lose their lives due to addiction. If someone would have been there for them to seek serious help they might still be here. On another note I was a stripper for about 11 years, it’s completely true that the “finance bros” are always off the shits and the “alternative” people love sharing their Molly 😂.
As a person in the punk scene people dont really like sharing their molly very few really nice people actually want to share drugs with others and if they do its most likely molly acid depending on how much they bought perks sometimes shrooms depending on how much they got and coke
Second thing-I have, for numerous reasons, one of which is fear of the law, been terrified of trying non prescription drugs. One of my deep seated fears is not being able to know what’s going on around me, and for my perception of my environment to be compromised. Recently, one of my parents came across an article headline saying ‘some hallucinogens can be used to treat something-or-other-I-don’t-remember, but can be dangerous for certain individuals and cause things like permanent psychosis’ and was like ‘oof, not for us, since your grandfather had bipolar disorder, we are some of the people who would be at risk.’ And I was like ‘damn, that’s scary that something pretty harmless for some people can just fuck up someone’s brain so badly.’
Later, hanging out with my brother, I mentioned that text interaction. And he said ‘oh yeah, that’s what happened to [one of his childhood best friends]’ and I just stopped walking. ‘What?’ ‘Yeah, he can’t live on his own, his family has to take care of him full time. Fortunately they’re well-off and they care about him.’
But like. What a fucking gut punch
Pharmacology is a truly fascinating topic, we've got the basics down but there's still so much that's unknown. Genetics play a big role but there's a lot that's still not known in terms of predisposition to things like addiction and psychosis as well as what can possibly treat what.
I did a lot of LSD before I found out I was bipolar, but I'm bipolar 2 which is different than bipolar 1. Mushrooms actually have helped me a lot, but I take small amounts. I have the same fear as you so I am always very careful of where I get stuff and how much I take!
I will point one thing out, the bad trip statistic isnt the same thing as "fucking up your mental health pretty bad", i for evample didnt start having bad trips until my life was going bad but i didnt realize how bad my life was going, and it was only after i had suddenly gone from always having a good time to 3 bad trips in a row. On the third i figured something most be wrong that im freaking out so bad. Turns out my heart rate was chilling at 120 bpm most of the day and my chordisol level was through the roof, i had gained 30 pounds in those months i thought maybe i was just eating shit and not realizing it, no i just had very high stress levels and been getting anxiety multiple times a day. I thought the anxiety was just a weird chest pain. Once i got that sorted out and i went right back down to normal 6 months later. Took a trip after that and had a wonderful time again. Moral of the story? If you get anxious smoking weed, dont fucking touch psychedelics. If youve never done psychedelics, dont tell people you have and take some. If yall arent ready then dont take it. I recommend yall start with dmt. U can take a very small amount which will feel and look like lsd but will only last 10 to 20 minutes. Otherwise stick to dreaming and having fevers for weird visuals
I wouldn't describe DMT as being a good intro, while sure a vape hit will give a brief high you have significantly less time to process what's going on and measured dosing is virtually infeasible. Better options (based on availability) would probably be iprocin, miprocin, or really just psilocybe assuming their potency is measured so you can measure alkaloid content by dry weight.
This is good advice other than the DMT. I don't recommend that for inexperienced people. Microdosing on mushrooms from a reliable source might be a good start for someone who is nervous and wants to ease in.
@@chrisashtonlightell-west1189 no see, that's the idea, see the thing is about n-n-dmt is that it has no effects on the body, only the body, you can put it in a pen and only take one small hit. You will not blast off, it takes alot at once for that. The lower doses of dmt is quite similar to lsd but the effects will still only last minutes, vs lsd which lasts 12+ hours. Low doses of shrooms could be alright. But the stomach pains some people can have everytime they fo shrooms no matter what can send some people into a bad time. Shrooms to me are the highest level of difficulty. Because they can sneak up on you, even at a low dose. Dmt can't, if you measure your dose, you will not get too high. If you stick it in a pen and keep the wattage low, you'll never be able to blast off no matter how much you hit it. I use dmt carts at raves because I can get a little high and enjoy visuals but be sober in a few minutes to go get some water and maybe a snack
@@chrisashtonlightell-west1189 there is alot of tricks you can do with psychedelics. For example, do you want to trip the whole time but also be able to talk and meet people? Low dose of molly or sally (I recommend you havent done molly for 3 months at least) and u can take up to 300ug of lsd and be completely capable of assessing your surroundings. If you don't know what sally is, its MDA. it's the first love drug and it's exactly the same as molly. It's called sally because it's straight up extracted from the sassafras plant. But it became illegal quickly and molly came out and stayed legal for a few years. Even though sally is easier to make and has the same effects, it is not as well known.
I really don't agree with saying if you get anxious from weed you'll necessarily have a bad trip from psychedelics. Weed gives me legit mind melting schizo breakdowns, but even my worst trip on shrooms was just feeling a bit somber and reflective about my past, no spiraling meltdowns or anything. At the end of the day every substance is different, just don't do shit you genuinely don't like or think you'll enjoy
You don’t need any drugs when this video exists and is the equivalent of a fever dream with how fast-paced it is
nah tbh, it sounds nice (to me, a person with the 'tism, probably adhd too, and a short attention span bc youtube short)
i am a type 1 diabetic. when i was younger i didn't have a insulin pump. so i always had needles on me to take my insulin. people all the time thought i was shooting up drugs. why they thought my stomach and thighs were the place to take hard drugs is beyond me
they probably didn't know this, but some people mess up their veins so bad that they have to switch to other injection sites
@@HarrisonMartinson Yep, saw a girl shoot through her foot once.
IV is generally preferred but plenty of people who either destroyed all their visible veins, just don't want to IV or they're using something that simply can't be IVed but can be IMed so they IM/SC it instead. All has to do with bioavailability, IV is generally 100% and IM/SC are a close second in the high 90s (usually 95%-98%) plus onset is quicker, if not essentially instantaneous. Doubt they knew that, lot of people just see a needle and jump to wild conclusions smh. DARE worked to cause fear in a lot of people, unfortunately the actual "education" part was all but nonexistent which is pretty sad considering the word "education" is literally in the name...
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.
I was having this constant and unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across Ted Winston, a very intelligent mycologist, He saved my life honestly.

This is my first video outside of short form content that I have experienced via him and it is a pleasure
I love psychedelics but I definitely understand why ppl fear them, after having quite a few bad trips I will say that you would want to avoid that experience at all costs
No one ever talks about how good drugs make you feel, at least in the beginning. But then, how threatening that is to having a chance at a decent life. Great video! ❤
well the idea about drugs is it feels great but its fleeting because you tend to die very quickly after taking that path
What is "a decent life". Work until you die?
interesting perspective. Drugs did me well bad...
I am such a terrible person with a wasted life.
I mean, who would want to go plant based and becaome a nature activist and abandon capitalism and learn to grow food forests and learn to homestead land with other hippy and nature types.
It is such a wasted life to tend to nature during the day then travel to inner worlds with your chosen family in the evenings...
Hint the 'drugs' are not the problem.
@@stultum u dont die quick unless you do too much of it or you do some shit like fentanyl why do u think so many addicts are old and homeless they probably got addicted in the 90s
if these drugs were prescribed you wouldn't say shit, drugs aren't bad its how people use them. search whats in 90% of the off the counter pills you can buy and see people use constantly and tell me how they're any better, even meth is sold LEGALLY under prescription for adhd and obesity as Desoxyn. only difference is more professional equipment thats cleaned properly (I'd have to assume at least) which is the real problem with drugs: the instability of them, they need to be made very specific and any little bacterias in them could ruin you. that's why instead of demonizing drugs we need to educate people and make it more legal to where actual pharmacys would be giving it to you instead of that one friend who peaked in high school who got it probably got it from some dude making/growing it in a half deteriorated excuse of a trailer in the middle of nowhere.
As someone who was on oxys, benzos, fentanyl, morphine, adderall, nervestimulants that enhances the effect of said drug's above
If you absolutely do not need it, do not take it.
Please. I'm on subutex now, I went through it. but I cannot remember the majority of YEARS of my life. Its scary seeing pictures not knowing where you were, why you were there, who you were with and so on.
And the scariest shit is I know I could end up deep in it again, once an addict, always an addict, it changes your brain.
The thing about hallucinations and weed is true. In fact i guess it depends a little on the person and the dosage but mostly even in higher higher doses you dont start to see crazy shit. I have to add tho: If you start to take psychedelics, especially like LSD, DMT, 5-meo-dmt and stuff, you brain changes so much that in fact the high you get from weed changes a lot. In fact, ever since i took LSD for the first time (took mushrooms before a lot, didn't have an impact) my perception of weed changed so much that now if i take high doses of Cannabis, it actually somewhat feels like a psychedelic trip with very subtile visual hallucinations.
I hate how DARE and other commercials made us see drug users as zombie-like beings looking for their next fix. It can literally be anyone in your family who's an addict. Hell, I was an addict for a while til my fiance helped me quit. Addicts deserve compassion and help. ❤
Definitely compassion and help, not encouragement that they’re ‘fine’ and that it’s ‘natural’.
@@sirius_solaris Seems like a fake argument imo, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone encouraging addicts that they're fine
You've fullen fallen for the propaganda if you use "drug user" and "addict" as synonyms.

tysm for this video!!!!!!!! my tip for any dr_g (esp hallucinogens) is that you can always take more but you can never untake them. so always start at a safe dose & see how u feel before u try more
Just putting this out there, marijuana absolutely CAN be an intense hallucinogenic, but only if you have the right genes. I would know, because I would go into a cartoon world the few times I tried it. Like, seriously. It was like Roger Rabbit!
You are lying so hard.
@@bryanergau6682 "People who have taken large doses of marijuana may experience an acute psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and a loss of the sense of personal identity. These unpleasant but temporary reactions are distinct from longer-lasting psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, that may be associated with the use of marijuana in vulnerable individuals."
Completely true. I literally believed that dragons were flying above my house.
The most I've experienced personally is feeling like I'm walking at 20fps and slight visual perception changes like if I stare at a popcorn ceiling for long enough the things will move in a bit of a pattern.
I’ve had a fair amount of weed in my time, and there was only one instance where I started to hallucinate that my skull was melting and reforming over and over. It was terrifying and VERY unlike what I normally experience, and 15 years later I’m still convinced it was laced with something. At least it wasn’t fentanyl. Stay safe, kids.
I get synesthesia sometimes, which I don't experience sober.
I don't partake very often, and it doesn't happen every time, but strain and/or quantity probably plays into it
Another reasonable excuse to avoid taking psychedelics (or a plethora of similar things) is "I've got a family history of psychosis and really don't want to risk it." Could even add in, "My (mom/dad) took that and it caused HPPD that ultimately resulted in a diagnosis of schizophrenia. 20 years later, still needs meds to control the unwanted visual distortions." There's also, "Can't, I'm on a prescription and I've looked it up, there's a dangerous interaction warning if I take that." That actually works for anything, for everything recreational, there's something available via prescription or even OTC that can't be mixed with it. Everything else is pretty easy, simple as "I'm good, tried it before and just felt overly sleepy/anxious/paranoid/speedy/uncomfortable, got zero euphoria unfortunately." Tbh, if you have a spine you don't need some excuse, what you choose to do is on you and anybody who can't understand that will after getting shouted at lol
Funny thing is that I'm actually strongly against prohibition and could care less what adults take, that's their right imo. I just don't like peer pressure, choice goes both ways. Regardless of if you want to enjoy the night whacked out on everything under the sun or completely sober, that's a personal choice nobody has the right to criticize. When it stops being something that's used to enjoy life and starts becoming something to escape or gets in the way of normal life, that's when it's a problem, moderation is key. It's the difference between having a few beers after work and drinking at work, "drinking" can be replaced with anything else including just behaviors and the core concept is still the same.
Marijuana can have psychoactive effects especially if it's laced with something else. It mostly depends on how much you smoke and your personal genetic makeup. But it can cause hallucinations and acute psychosis in some cases.
Alcohol is psychoactive.... u mean psychedelic
Weed absolutely makes me see things that are not there, absolutely and without a question. I get a laugh out of people telling me it doesent do that because im speaking from experience.
Now im not saying that means it should be prohibited, im also not saying it was necessarily *bad* the few times its happened, like it would have obviously been insanely unsafe for me to drive or something like that, but the stuff i was seeing was generally just fun and goofy.
but it does need to be acknowledged it does happen
@@neffix6976 no, I meant psychoactive.
@@neffix6976Psychoactive just means "affects the mind" and can be used to describe anything that alters the perception of reality.

Never tell kids half-truths.
This is not the truth mate, this guy has no idea, the fact he had to correct himself for a neurotransmitter and wrote the CORRECTION wrong says all u need to know
Have you published or do you know of any good primary sources about how DARE leads to addiction? I feel like that's a valuable perspective to be explored.
@mistermoo7602 There are quite a few papers, numerous non-peer reviewed studies, and heaps of anecdotes from addicts. But if you're intetested in actual published papers, I'm only familiar with one called: "Assessing the effects of school based drug education: A six year analysis of DARE" by D. Rosenbaum and another name I can't recall at the moment. It shouldn't be too hard to find more.
For me personally it was like with many others. I tried marijuana and since it didn't turn me in to a junkie caricature that 70s and 80s movies were full of, it put everything I was taught in to question.
Psychedelics didn't make me psychotic but actually offered some benefits. So when I came on to contact with hard drugs, I had no idea that the warnings were true this time.
@JeffBenzos2006 Did I say it was? We use to fix something that's missing, physical or psychological.
Dare made it seem cannabis was on the same tier as heroin. After realizing pot wasn't that bad, everything else they claimed became suspect. Made it a whole lot easier to try H.

As an introvert who also is into psychedelics, tripping alone is so much fun, nobody else is affecting your space and you don't have to compromise during your trip. You can drink as much tea, draw, and watch as many weird movies as you want. It's great! And your cat won't get scared off so you can snuggle with them
I started off as a psychonaut in the 90s. It was the golden age of designer drugs, before legislation had caught up.
My friends wanted to go to raves or parties to trip. I enjoyed being alone at home, sitting on front of the computer, playing with trip-toys and hanging in IRC.
I then slowly graduated to hard drugs, but that's another story. I too was a DARE victim. It contributed to my becoming an iv-addict.
I’ve had great experiences tripping everywhere. The first few times I was cautious and had people around me and did all the things people say I should. After a few trips I quickly gained the experience to understand and confident that it’s literally just my mind, and no situation can change my mood as much as my thoughts. I’ve tripped at parties, one time being particularly open about my thoughts and feelings with this girl because I was tripping and felt my insecurities melt away. We’ve been dating in the years since and I want to marry her.
Many of my best trips were doing an 8th by myself and just walking around. I’m very thankful I decided to take that leap. My life changed
did some legal-grade weed from that MOOD store I kept seeing online when my family went away on vacay. I stayed to take care of our animals, and I'd take a hit after all the critters were in bed for the night. It was honestly such a nice time, I got so much creative work done and had a chance to breathe that I didn't know I was missing. Still, it's very important, even if you're taking something safe and well-regulated, make sure you know what you're doing beforehand and don't go overboard. Better to have an underwhelming experience than to take yourself too far and not be able to come back until it's over.
I feel like cats always know lol.
@cindyvortex6029 Cats can read you like an open book.
My late butthead roomie was always very aloof, really didn't enjoy being held. He sat on your lap on his own terms and took off the second you tried to move or cuddle him too much.
I was having a bit of a crisis and feeling *horrible*. I put in a brave face and no one was the wiser. Except that butthead, he suddenly transformed in to a cuddle hungry kitten. He'd constantly be checking on me and talking to me.
Lasted as long as my little crisis did. The minute I was feeling better he was back to his old self. The only attention you got from him was a "wtf you looking at?" or "feed me dickhead!".
Miss you Jesse, you were a good butthead ❤

Oooooh geeez, you just reminded me about that time I was in the psyche ward and they brought a guy in who’d removed his own eyes with a spoon. He had a 24-7 attendant to teach him how to deal with being blind. I mean…some people just shouldn’t do drugs.
what weed is actually like, from somebody whos smoked weed:
1. you zone out of reality as if your trying to think of something but you dont realize your in a deep thought then reality shifts back to normal then this repeats constantly
2. you think about the universe really hard trapped in this state of zoning in and out
3. existential crisis
4. food seems really good
5. you realize its been 5 hours when youve lost all concept of time and to you it felt like either infinity or 30 minutes
6. really chill and calm
7. wanna do silly things while high
8. the constant zoning in and out makes it hard to speak ect but when you do the things and get them over with it feels really easy (you basically auto pilot everything)
think about that then times it by 10... yeah its that amazing
it’s absolutely different for everyone
obviously not everyone's is the same but you just describe my experience perfectly!
@@digitaldiamondx6773 but yes this is for sure very similar to how i experience as well maybe just a few different things

That zoning out stuff is called dissociation, and same with number 8 for the autopilot thing
The scariest part about the Miami Cannibal- the toxicology report did not find bath salts, not meth, not spice, but just good old cannabinoids 😂😬😬

I do belive he might have been having a psycosis if thats true
Confounding variable: they could have taken bath salts and such at a different point in their life. Isolating cannabinoids is nonsensical.

I've tried psychedelics quite a few times. For a few weeks after any trip, cannabis will be extremely psychedelic itself. I've had full blown hallucinations that existed within reality from only cannabis. Like I could walk up to the patterns and lies I was seeing.
I've also had mild flashbacks to a psychedelic experience. Like something can trigger me to start tripping. Hasn't happened in years, but the last time it did happen, I was on the phone with my dad... Took a bong hit, and just something he said made my mind start tripping lol.
Believe it or not the “unicorns and rainbows” drugs have been highly contested for their medicinal purposes recently. I knew a guy who fixed his PTSD by himself on mushrooms with a RUclips video. The psychedelic drugs are rarely addictive and if used in correct doses in controlled environments can produce some surprising results
Literally everything in this world can become addictive
@@Doylie4122 that’s true, but these drugs don’t cause physical dependence like alcohol or nicotine. Plus they have like a built-in cool down. Immediately after the trip if you take another right away it’ll be as if you took a quarter of your original dose but after 2 weeks or so you’ll be back to normal, so that discourages a lot of psychological addiction potential
Not saying, you should take it, that depends on your state of mind, your mental health history, and weather or not u want to. I’m just saying they’re not the villain the media makes them appear. And if you correctly (in moderation and therapeutic settings) they can be incredibly beneficial.
in colorado its legal medically to treat ptsd if i remember correctly
so...who cares? We're not talking "overweight guy is addicted to food" or "lady can't stop buying eyeliner so she's addicted to makeup."
non-addictive means "you won't be fighting for your life like with nicotine or alcohol if you try to stop using it."
Why try and bring up the inherent addictiveness of all things, just to try to keep saying certain non-addictive drugs are totally-addictive-for-real-you-guys? It's a silly way of arguing the topic, and it doesn't mean much when discussing addiction.@@Doylie4122

Fun fact, that dude in Florida who at the guys face did NOT do bath salts, his toxicology only showed a little bit of weed in his system
Weed is helpful in moderation. I typically smoke twice a week, except when I'm PMSing and then it's just a full week (autism and PMS don't mix well, kids). Taking it for my PMS has also helped me get better at predicting when my period starts! It's a matter of tracking your habits and being mindful.
Also, Tugg, visual hallucinations are more common with mushrooms. I have those occasionally as well, but that’s for spiritual reasons.
I actually have had borderline trips on weed before, especially edibles. Its not super common, were isolated cases, but still. Course ive also had actual trips, some of which changed my life for the better, but ive also had friends be put into complete psychosis by the same drug sooo theyre to be taken with caution and a level of mental openess you didnt think was possible until it becomes necessary to survive the trip.
I would sort of count myself as one of the 'hippie' types you mentioned, but im not going to push someone to try any of those items. Ive never done stuff like molly because im not there to get a euphoric rush. I try to inform people about what I know regarding the substances (which is a surprising amount) and just enjoy telling them how it benefited me, but also explaining exactly why it can end up going horribly, also based on my own personal experience as mentioned above.

3:06 I've heard that high concentrations of THC can be hallucinogenic - like way more than you'd get from smoking weed. Has anyone heard (or experienced) similar?
All has to do with brain chemistry, it's an extremely rare side effect but it's not unheard of especially in high doses and/or in people who have no tolerance. Also ROA doesn't matter, orally it's just easier to accidentally use too much
@@Blunt_ManThanks for the info. I've never tried myself, but I'm curious. (no reason against it, was just raised super conservative and wasn't around it).
I’ve eaten excessively dosed edibles and honestly the hallucinogenic effects are very underwhelming, walls breathing slightly, object seems to move on it’s own for a couple secs, but not much more than that. Delta-9-thc is only a partial agonist at cannabinoid receptors, which means hallucinations are rare and only really present at extremely high doses, but full agonists of cannabinoid receptors like JWH-018 (spice) can make you have really unpleasant and intense hallucinations.

Don't tell me how to live my life
9:54 There is a reason why GTA6 is taking place in Miami, Florida
I have no idea how drugs work and I've recently started trying to take back control over how i consume media and this video sent down a rabbit hole of trying to learn how drugs actually work, thank you big tugg for this very good video
Oh my god yes i cant wait to give up my addictions thanks to Tugg
0:42 Nooooo not her
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what I thought
😭😭😭😭
“Par for the course of what I would imagine is going on in Salem, Oregon” Yup, that’s exactly what goes down here, crazy as fuck up here.
Can answer this before it’s up: “It makes doing nothing with your time feel like it’s okay.”
Counterpoint: they taste good if you ingest them wrong enough
So is watching RUclips lmao just saying
3:44 You know about LSD, right? That’s probably the closest thing togetting that affect
Mushrooms DMT and salvia too cuz and maybe Molly idk
DMT
@@samrobison6421not Molly (not tryna seem cool I just used to struggle with it and it’s nothing like the other 3 visually)
You'll notice none of those crazy stories were about someone smoking weed, this is why I'm a stoner, and don't touch anything else with a 10 foot barge pole
The fact that this is actually really informative is really weird to me and I don’t really know how to feel about it
"They look like you and me." Jerry the mouse over here thinking he's a real boy
Why didnt anyone tell me this before i got addicted 😭
Big tugg never fails to thrust in my insides with his long masculine videos
Ew
weirdflex but ok
and he serves
Barber was caught dealing drugs near where i lived, i have been his customer for years, never knew he was a barber
It's okay Tugg, I was doing drugs long before this video dropped today so my drug use has nothing to do with this video lol
Why do we have to wait. We want the video NOW Mr. Big!
Big is an honorific. His full name is Tugg
As a recovering heroin/fentanyl addict. He is very right about the pills. It does take awhile to become addicted in the sense of having withdrawals. And by that time its to late. Your physically dependent and the withdrawals are so bad you cant imagine willingly going through that so you keep using to avoid the sickness and over time you start to lose your moral compass you start considering more questionable things to get money to get more. And it can start with a legal prescription, that your not warned about ahead of time( now it may be different doctors may be better about warning people now, I've been off pills for 10 years) and that can lead to other drugs. Because you run out of your pills and turn to other things like heroin. Sometimes you end up addicted because you DO take your meds the way your supposed to but after awhile you will build a tolerance and it won't work anymore and then the withdrawals Happen. It's a horrible thing to go through ive struggles with addiction for yeara, my whole family are addict. I lost my mom to an overdose. And i genuinely hope that the situation improves soon. Youll never get rid of addiction all together but it could be better than it is.
What Is A Bean Hole?!?
You take a hole, for example ass.
You put beans in it.
Congratulations, you have a Bean Hole.

This video reminds me of the time my school had everyone take a test, and it was one where they said to answer honestly. It was asking if we've used anything like [bath salts, other things like that] and i clicked yes on the bath salts because i thought they meant putting it in the bath to help with joint pain, but now i don't think they meant that, and now i have that on my record probably, thats going to haunt me for the rest of my days qwq
There's no record, those things are anonymous but they are used to make up statistics so the number of people who use bath salts amongst your age range is now slightly off. With the amount of people who just lie, checking "yes" ironically probably actually helped to make the end results more accurate, even if by only a very small percentage lol
Damn. “Watch them waste away. That got sad” Yes that got very sad but it’s accurate and honest. But it hit me hard the same time it hit you
i gotta say im frothing at the mouth here waiting for this amazingly wacky goofy and silly video!
Had a friend in highschool who said he would do every drug at least once and now he’s living with his underage girlfriend in a Camper. He also stole his rich neighbors $14000 bottle of tequila and filled it with water. And he tried to make me take shrooms and cocaine. Together. While his mom was there.
You know it's a good day when tugg uploads 🎉

So Tucker has been steeling copper out of walls and shit
my aunt i was closest to died of fentynol 2 yrs ago and i watched as my boyfriend almost died from something in the meth he took last year but thank god hes alive and clean today and doing so so so much better. And as someone who grew up around it i had to unlearn my trauma responses to his relapsing. Shaming and yelling isnt going to help it will push people further to it i promise. Beimg there for someone and encouraging healthier life choices is the best thing you can do for someone with addiction. if youre struggling with please know people care about you and want to see you around and get better so desperately. You matter more than any substance that's for fucking sure
something that people don't talk about enough (i think): you can form addictions to technically non-addictive substances, or behaviors, if you start using them as a coping mechanism. if it's something you use to get through life and you feel you couldn't cope otherwise, it's an addiction. this isn't necessarily harmful, depending on what you're doing, but it's good to be aware, and make sure your coping mechanisms aren't harming you or the people around you in any way
so, particularly if the substance or whatever it is has addictive properties to begin with, however mild they are, it can be a dangerous game to play. some people also struggle with addiction more than others, just because their brains are wired that way, i think
(these are all my own opinions and observations, speaking from the perspective of ongoing recovery from an ED and SH and a fascination with psychology. some research but no experience with drugs. knowing my tendencies and limits, if i started doing drugs i would probably never stop)
I am so hyped for this video!
good for you
@@strawhatTahathat sounds passive aggressive
I think it’s because the are technically a psychedelic. But I agree it doesn’t make sense to me either. 3:20
You are conscious that you recognize the bug, but the bug doesn’t recognize you. It’s just going about its day, surviving, avoiding danger, looking for food - oblivious that some entity of higher consciousness is observing it, like God looking down from the clouds.
Where I live some dude was found with 1.5 pounds of meth. How TF do you get that much
Florida man final boss
Is that a rhetorical question or are you asking for the recipe?
@@Targetshopper4000 I mean I wouldn't be opposed to it. For educational purposes only of course
@@Targetshopper4000 There isn't *the* recipe, because there are multiple ways of synthesizing meth. Most popular are probably (pseudo)ephedrine plus iodine and red phosphorus and, if want to be more professional, then there is the large-scale manufacture via phenylacetone (which itself must be produced because it's impossible to buy as a meth precursor) and methylamine by way of hydrogenation in the presence of a platinum metal. That's not illegal to know.
4:06 I mean, he do be sexy.
I remember being offered drugs a bunch at school by my own schoolmates, I always told them why (uncle did drugs and he had to have multiple organ transplants because of it) I never demonized them for it and they never thought me a square.
Me being an addict:
- Alcohol is a drug its just called alcohol 😂
- Pills and alcohol are horrible for you together, but thats what my mom got me hooked on
- Most people are on drugs do to depression and/or abuse from their past
- To quote John Lennon "whatever gets you through the night, its alright its alright
- hallucinogens help some people
- doing pot in some form is way healthier than pain meds, alcohol, heroin etc
- my best wishes and love to all my addicts out there
-Big Tugg hallucinogens will sometimes make you see rainbows and unicorns one my my friends sees pink penguins lol
Also Ive seen things smoking pot...purple spots, moving ceiling with plants growing through...your brain reacts differently to shit
As a trip sitter i have seen my friends do crazy shit lol 😂
Damn, your mom?
I just woke up to this this on my screen and my dumbass thought this video was about tucker trying drugs

As a kid, I was told the hippie calories were a "gateway." Almost a decade after I started using them, I still haven't touched anything else.
Is he gonna do drugs like his alcohol video
Which drugs will he do, well we know he would never do meth or coke, not on camera, he can't say it's for a video he would have to say he was a former user- ah what am I saying he would have never done that.
i remember my school board nominated me to “die” infront of my class because i took fentanyl … they carried me out on a stretched and body bag
