The one question no one in this video addressed: Where is the Tranq coming from? This isn't made in a bathtub or some back-alley makeshift lab. This is coming from major pharmaceutical manufacturing, which means that it's no accident that this drug is ending up on the streets. This is absolutely by design. This problem is not going away anytime soon, unfortunately, but that certainly shouldn't stop us from trying. What a sad state so much of our society is in.
In the words of Dr. Robert Block, the former President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, "Adverse childhood experiences are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today." It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. -Frederick Douglass
Yeah, this is something past the point of rehab. This is a irreversible horror. The victims are most likely done for. Get the animals and pharma giving this to the population. It is not a only homeless problem.

Not just about drugs, just from being homeless they’re bodies have faced issues that are unrecoverable. If you were homeless you would be on drugs too with the terrible circumstances
It’s like a scene out of a horror movie, very apocalyptic. As someone who has never taken drugs or had any desire or interest, it’s hard for me to understand how someone would want to use something that will literally rot away your body.
as someone whose used a few different recreational drugs and liqour i can tell you its NOT normal.. usually the effect of most of them is to make you a bit more silly or a bit more happy than normal. think of it a social lubricant.. but people at this level live in the addiction life. its not about the actual feeling its about the need to repeat the process over and over..
When I was younger we smoked pot and did mushrooms because it was fun to hang with friends , act goofy and have some laughs. I can't fathom what attracts these users when it appears to be such a lonely, dark, desolate kind of high.

There’s nothing you can tell an addict to their face. If you can’t reason with someone, you’ve got nothing. This is very tragic. Thank you for presenting it! ❤
Big Pharma the FDA does not profit from a disease that requires sustaining from all substances including Rx Drugs. It's not the drugs but the addict the addict is saying no to. The only way for big pharma to profit of the addict is to keep them ill. Unless you have fought the Angel of death off of you, that comes along with addiction , you have no idea what is to triumph !
Absolute Truth!Most people who self medicate on these nefarious synthetic things,without proper health regulation are only afflicted by their own unhealthy free will!
Other than here's a place for your tent while you sleep off the drugs SSD and local social services provide. This is state sponsored open air junkie villages, deal with it!
For 1 you have to cut the head off the snake. You have to end the supply. It would be helpful to help a person before they are totally addicted to any substance. Before the drug robs their mind of logic.

@@sarbantz California started a 10 year plan to solve homelessness 15 years ago. Things are worse than ever. It will take more than the government throwing money at it to fix this problem.
“what can be done to help drug addicts?” Nothing. You can’t help someone who won’t help themselves. If you force them to get sober, the first opportunity they get, they’ll go back to the drugs.
wrong , first they need a minimum 30 day rehab then transformed to rehabilitation program with a full schedule of work helping the inviorment for 6 months . Give them food and shelter but no money . Most important they need to be taking out of there old stomping grounds and runner friends . Next time police pick them for drugs give the the choice jail or the program . I mean if Biden can write 500 million dollar checks to a man destroying the world why not help them poor people . Can't cause thats to positive need to keep the war machine going .

It's incredibly evil to talk about people as though they are a ''waste of life''. Especially when they are victims of drug pushers who are subsidised by ''big pharma'' They're killing us so they can sell us ''remedies''. We are under attack and if you can't see that then you haven't noticed the writing on the wall. Talk about them like ''waste of life'' this ''waste of life'' that. What do you reckon will happen when they've ''gotten rid'' of the poor, weak, and vulnerable? They will be coming for you, to lay waste on your life. Especially if your attitude is just to blame the victims of what is essentially a war against our humanity. Blame the real criminals. The people doing this to us.
I am an immigrant who has been in US for several years now and what amazes me the most is US defense spending (latest $800 billion) despite tons and tons of "real" problems that need to be addressed at home. To begin with, why is it impossible for a "superpower" to keep these ppl off the streets.
Freedom means you can behave as you wish within the laws. Some places have given up on enforcing the laws and hand out needles because mindless people vote for the one handing out the paraphernalia that they would have to buy otherwise.
The government does not solve problems. The government funds problems. Every election season politicians promise "with more money we'll "solve" the problem". Just think "fund" every time a politician says "solve", and you'll be closer to the truth of the situation.
The dealers have no idea, they think they are selling heroin which is relatively safe compared to fent...this is almost always a result of having been prescribed opiates by a doctor for way too long and then being cut off suddenly, that's why people turn to the streets. Because insurance doesn't cover its own mistakes.
As a recovering addict it's crazy out there and I'm glad I got out before this crap, it has already hit my city and has been found in %70. There's not even heroin out there anymore I tested positive for fentanyl only in the drug test I would take in the programs. Of course I didn't get better after the first time in rehab that's very rare, a guy I met who's been clean for like a decade he had to go to rehab 52 times in order to get better.
Same. I've been clean from opiates since 09. Thankful that I never had to worry if the pills were fentanyl laced. Its killing more, and faster than any other drug now.
@@jennifers.5274 as of Valentine’s Day 2023 (two weeks ago as of this writing), I’ve been clean from opiates, including fentanyl, for two years. When I finally went to rehab I couldn’t imagine even one full day off those evil drugs - now I can’t imagine popping one little codeine, even for legitimate reasons. I recently had surgery to remove a large melanoma on my back. Like fist-sized large! Of course they wanted to prescribe me opiates, because it was a very large wound that they had to stitch and staple up. I refused, took Tylenol and Motrin instead, gritted my teeth, and just dealt with the pain. I just can’t imagine enough pain to make me want to go back on those daemonic things - I think I’d rather die first! Two years and counting… A lifetime to go! Praise Jesus!
This man is amazing. I hope he successfully helps people. He is right. An addict won't ask for help and sometimes hearing the words makes a difference.
It's important to remember they've completely given up on life. Sometimes just showing them a little light is more effective than reminding them of how bad their lives are.
Can't give up on life unless you know you've been given up on. They go to doctor because work injury, get prescribed opiates for way too long instead of fixing the problem. Now they are an addict. But that prescription has an expiration and then they are cut off so they turn to the streets...its a vicious cycle perpetuated by the insurance industry. They don't want to sell solutions, they want to sell subscriptions.
@@freedustin Lots of reasons and variables. Ultimately when you're that low it takes a helluva lot of positivity, especially because drugs typically destroy your dopamine receptors which truly is the biggest hurdle.
Yeah add to it that California is relatively warm to sleep outside users need a blanket and a pillow they can get food from anywhere a lot of homeless are actually transient they are always from another city or state there'll always be people to use drugs Escape reality and there's nothing we can do about it since the cost of everything is so high it's easier to practice escapism coupled with trauma First World countries are Prime grounds for attics they don't fit in society because here there's no culture there's only class underclass middle-class working-class high-class there's always a pro and a con to living somewhere a California attracts addicts because of the nature of our societal structure coupled with ableism.
I believe that is the rationale that established these open air shooting galleries in the first place. Maybe that isn't the correct approach when dealing with people constitutionally incapable of honesty? They are doing what they want at your expense, and you are cool with it. Just like the government. See the problem.
For the people wondering how somebody could find themselves using such a lonely, depressant drug. The reality is you’re not alone when you first start using all of your friends are around and then once you’re hooked it’s all you by yourself.
They’re not your “friends” if they are encouraging you to use drugs, and taking drugs with you. They are your enemies. No true “friend” would want you to do anything that’s harmful to you, because a true friend would love you, and not want to risk losing you. Your concept of “friends” sure is a strange one.
As a person who has real world experience in addiction and recovery I can testify that addiction is every bit as much a spiritual malady as it is a physical and psychological one. It needs a spiritual solution that includes physical and psychological aspects.
@@abundantharmony yes, I agree. But everyone has to start somewhere. I know many who started with a doorknob, light bulb, or a chair but who later came to believe in THE higher power. But initially it may not always start out that way. A good way for us to start is to pray fervently for them to step out of denial and admit to themselves that they need help and then accept it so they have the sober mind to make the leap of faith to receive that higher power.
They not asking for help because they dont want help. Understand that. I live in the hood constantly around these addicts, once they enter that world they live for that life. If they want help theyll go get it, they obviously aren’t asking for it because they’re ok with their life. I used to feel bad for these people until I learned more about them.
If offered help to go to a rehab most will say they want help, the problem is they don’t want help today or next week, the say “… not ready yet” . If they are not ready to receive help rehabs will sadly not help them. They themselves need to want to detox and get support or it doesn’t work.
Terrifying, Today here in Texas I saw an individual exhibiting the exact sporadic zombie-like gestures. I had never seen a homeless individual this mentally incapacitated such as twerling around in circles and moving their hands in a dysfunctioned manner.
20 years sobriety and clean time this years. My life is nothing like it was in 2000. Now, I'm a full time RUclipsr and remarried my former wife. I only share this to say that many do and are recovering. Don't let unimaginable stories like this cause you to lose hope on your loved ones. Please pray and ask for insights in the best way to reach the broken and lost. DON'T GIVE UP.
Well done m8y, my friend has a 50 year old daughter doing ice with her own daughter, she has had 1 child taken away already, she was in detox for a while, got out & went to the wrong party, ended up in a phsyc ward & they tell her she is pregnant, that's my friends unborn great grand child, we are in rural South Australia
Thank you. I will remember this and tell you that you are amazing! I have a daughter who left rehab. My only daughter. It's heartbreaking. My heart jumps into my throat everytime there's a loud knock on the door.

If you've seen "countless videos showing these people" then that means there is more than "barely talking about it." If they are "just barely talking about it" then that means you cannot have seen "countless videos." For example, I've seen countless videos about football. I cannot claim they are barely talking about football.

Going after drug dealers is not working and hasn’t worked since Reagan started “war on drugs”. Lock up one dealer and another takes it’s place. I don’t know what to do about this but it ain’t that.
I’ve learned about trauma from being on a violent trauma scene. I’ve had therapy and over the past 5 years you see how trauma just spreads from generation to generation, a crime, an experience, just anything. It just spreads and spreads and spreads. We need God or purpose whatever that is for you to focus on and guide you.
You need God the most. Obviously these people have families and communities , but they are Godless, no attempt to do things right, too afraid to have any standards , never told there is more value outside of this shallow world. That’s why they chase dopamine and highs, because they lack fulfillment , clearly families and society isn’t a true replacement for that if families and societies lack any fundamental morals beyond the never ending flakyness of media culture
I’m glad you said that, That’s why post traumatic slave syndrome is a thing and a good book. The raped and beaten slave mothers passed on that pain generationally and no therapist has ever stepped in. So when people say slavery was a long time ago, you didn’t live then. Remember that pain spreading throughout that family tree.

The power of ultimately staying sober lays 100% on the individual, no program , and counseling will change their minds. If one day they realized they wasted all their life's and finally decided to stay clean.I would say a real small percentage makes it out of it.

01:52 No. It's called personal responsibility. If you a person can't handle their freedoms then they need not have them anymore. Lock these people up and keep locking them up till they are off the streets. Put them in a safe prison where they cannot get drugs and keep them there for life. We have ditches that need dug, roads that need built and trash that needs picked up. It's a waste of resources to focus help on them when the law abiding can't even walk down the street or can't go to the hospital without waiting behind illegals and drug addicts.

Boys are gonna be boys. You just gotta let them do what they do, get it out of their systems, and then, they'll come home. Know it'll always work out for the best, my Dear.
It's open intoxication which they should be arrested for. If this had been done a long time ago, police, firemen and emt's wouldn't have to be exposed to the stuff associated with this. Yes, I care about the addicts, but I care about the people who have to deal with it. I have also heard that this is getting in the water.
God forbid this gets in the water. You might be right about arresting them for open intoxication, although it would have to be distinguished from forced medical care. It's almost like collective suicide. What I don't get is if help is available why not go for it?
They are letting the cities get destroyed on purpose. House else would they impose the “wef” plan of people having an authoritative control over the planet? They destroy it on purpose first , that way people have no choice but to accept the only option . These people are visibly messed up but people stuck on Hollywood culture and their apps on their phones are equally ruined in many ways, totally blind to anything in the world around them
You're absolutely right! BUT! What the hell hole that was summer 2020 taught us, was that everyone wanted to defund the police! And they won! Drugs are not able to be controlled by police anymore.

I did the work to change my heart that changed my mind that lead to know truth in myself. I no longer hate but love myself. That is what it takes . Only a Narcist believes they can change the addict. The addict has to change them selves. That is what rehab is for, for the addict seeking help. There aren't many facilities tho to help the addict.

I think xylazine is going to allow us to think about taking a more assertive approach to treatment with those who are addicted. With the sores that come with xylazine and potential life threatening consequences, I think there will be more reason to consider rethinking how we work with those who have an addiction.

2:00 How are we supposed to do that? I honestly would love to FORCE someone into help. It's so bad, that I wish I could lock them up with proper medical care until it's out of their system and have them in forced rehab. But I can't. We are letting them die. This expert says they won't ask for help, which I believe. So if that's the case, we're letting them die! We need to have some legal way to FORCE them into care, to save their life. What could be more loving?
Reality check, nothing will help them; they are lost to family and society. They do not want to be help, and the money thrown at them is a waste...sad but true. Let's put the money in schools.

All these decades, no one has thought of increasing jail sentences for drug dealers? What about cases where dealers cause direct deaths of overdose? Our judicial system is the problem. No one is afraid of prison time or death penalties for repeat offenders so addicts end up killing themselves. Bottom line is, these addicts are a list cause because legislators depend on their deaths as the final solution to this problem.
Maybe it is time to Criminalize drug abuse like before, we have tried the current failed policy long enough. Prison time for dealers and drug treatment camps for the addicts.
execution of drug dealers would shorten the problem immensely if you knew it was death penalty youd think twice.. thats why there isnt a lot of addiction in countries who have death penalty or long long prison for drug crimes it may seem harsh but it is unequivocal that it works
Every episode of intervention it’s almost always a bad childhood, or crappy family. Children who grow up with a married mom and dad who love each other and have a stable household usually end up happy and successful adults. Early divorce, abuse, drugs, neglect, broken homes, if these things happen to a child in their early life they usually end up miserable unmotivated unsuccessful adults. People need to be more responsible about having children.

here in Chicago it's hard to get help or get into a facility unless you have very good insurance or parents that can pay cause the medicine you need cost twice as much as much as the drugs on the street, 2 months ago I was going cold turkey an the withdrawals were so bad my gf called an ambulance I ended up having to sit in the emergency room lobby for six hours in a very uncomfortable chair throwing up in a garbage can just for them to deny me for there detox. I thought they had to treat me some how cause I was over 48 hours an they said they didn't see any drugs in my system
I hate this…what our world is becoming. I know that no one understands the individuals in this situation unless you have been addicted. Every single one of them is trying to escape a pain that lives inside them. After so long it has to be stronger to numb it. These are regular good people just like us all. This was just the way they found an out. The mixture has to stop being made. It’s too hard for them to turn away from. Pray for our people
@@journeymanelectrician ya I mean I really wanna get off this an get my life back, I just need a little help getting through the withdrawals an after that Ill be good I'm mentally strong an have a very high pain tolerance but withdrawals are on its own level, I told the Dr i hadnt eaten or drank anything in over 48 hrs an constsntly throwing up this green bile in front of him but all he said was I'm not admitting you, but they will admit some junkie that's only there cause he can't afford to buy drugs an shows up every few months an soon as he is out of the hospital first thing he does is go by more drugs.
I'm an ex heroin addict & clean 10 years now. Let me tell u that here in San Francisco it was NEVER Ythis bad on the streets where drugs are sold until fentanyl & now this tranq has definitely been in the fentanyl for awhile. It's interesting that they are just confirming it now publicly. The addicts living on the street are way different thN the addicts a decade ago. I was never on the street because I always worked through my entire addiction and had a sugar daddy or two at all times but it has totally changed out here. And the cops just sit in their cars and watch like it's a movie. Police are dirty out here and are paid off by dealers all the time and politicians are being definitely paid off by the cartels. It's scary. It doesn't feel safe anymore on our once beautiful Market st. It's really tragic.
Ok, I'm just gonna say this: every two or three years they come out with a stronger zombie drug, now this one isn't affected by Narcan. We heard in the last ten years about drugs that rotted their skin, causing their flesh to just fall off, even where you could see the bones. One caused people to literally try to eat other people's faces. I've watched this rock on all these years, one after another. At some point it begins to create a larger picture....someone wants to create the perfect zombie drug. And many don't care, they just want their fix. This idiot thinks they should go out and force them into getting help...that's not going to work. You cannot force anyone to get help if they don't want it. They need to send Dudley Doright out to one of the worst areas, let him find out what happens when you attempt to force your will on others.
It is a huge safety issue. Since they do not have mental capacity to function, they should be considered as any other mentally sick person, involuntarily taken form the street and provided appropriate help. After rehab they should be given mini houses and jobs so they can pay bills and have a purpose in life. Supervision and appropriate support should be provided for some time, so they do not relapse. The streets should be cleaned and make decent, livable and beautify. I do not understand this situation are we going to watch and talk? The drug dealer should punish and thrown to a prison, force to work and their earnings should go towards rehabilitation of these people.
who do you think is going to actually do that? the government uses problems like these as "promises" to platform on when they are up for election/ re-election, has any government official ever done what they said they would do when they were campaigning. once voted in, it's someone else's problem.

They ARE helping themselves... the only way they know how, and that's numbing the pain in their soul. Numbing out so they don't have to feel it. Usually some very bad stuff in their childhoods they are trying to block out, too painful to deal with.
Help themselves? You can't get into a detox or rehab with open sores. They say the withdrawal from fetty is way worse than heroin, and you need it at least every four hours to function. The withdrawal from tranq they say is a million times worse than any of it. So waiting in an ER to help yourself is pretty much out of the question. Nobody can do it alone. That doesn't mean they don't want help for themselves. Plus addiction doesn't discriminate. This can happen to anyone.
@@thomasreyes2857 Maybe not while they're in active addiction walking around with tranq wounds about to lose a limb. Otherwise many, many people in addiction are educated, kind, decent human beings.

They go to doctor because work injury, get prescribed opiates for way too long instead of fixing the problem. Now they are an addict.

For the people wondering how somebody could find themselves using such a lonely, depressant drug. The reality is you’re not alone when you first start using all of your friends are around and then once you’re hooked it’s all you by yourself.
Yes!!!
If your “friends” stand by and let you try heroin then they are not TRUE friends.
They’re not your “friends” if they are encouraging you to use drugs, and taking drugs with you. They are your enemies. No true “friend” would want you to do anything that’s harmful to you, because a true friend would love you, and not want to risk losing you. Your concept of “friends” sure is a strange one.

God forbid this gets in the water. You might be right about arresting them for open intoxication, although it would have to be distinguished from forced medical care. It's almost like collective suicide. What I don't get is if help is available why not go for it?
They are letting the cities get destroyed on purpose.
House else would they impose the “wef” plan of people having an authoritative control over the planet? They destroy it on purpose first , that way people have no choice but to accept the only option .
These people are visibly messed up but people stuck on Hollywood culture and their apps on their phones are equally ruined in many ways, totally blind to anything in the world around them
You're absolutely right! BUT! What the hell hole that was summer 2020 taught us, was that everyone wanted to defund the police! And they won! Drugs are not able to be controlled by police anymore. Crime is no longer able to be regulated by police anymore! Because it's considered "racist"! Well it's not racist and it is bs what is ALLOWED to happen in this country now because of what the government has done!
@@nancychace8619 I think these substances are soul destroying, people put them before their own children. Many who get to this state have had horrific experiences with authorities and hold no trust even if they were cognizent - if you were tranquilized to this degree you would'nt know what day it was.

This is what the Baker Act was intended for. We'll need to pass laws that make it where drug addicts like this can be Baker Acted and sent to rehabs in remote locations like the Wyoming desert. Sad, but unavoidable at this point. They won't help themselves, so they must be helped by force.
They will just go back to doing it. Legalize.

Our Government traded Guns for Crack so Reagan could declare a "War on drugs". The Crack was shipped by the CIA and military into highly Urban areas where the majority of the population were black. The war on drugs was never about drugs and still isn't to this very day. Our Government created this monster, they have no desire to kill it.

This was actually confused with the "krokodil" scare in a lot of places. People have been trying to send off warning alarms about this for years.
I went to rehab 8 times trying to get sober for my children. I didn't get sober til the will to live and thirst for truth filled my heart. I did the work to change my heart that changed my mind that lead to know truth in myself. I no longer hate but love myself. That is what it takes . Only a Narcist believes they can change the addict. The addict has to change them selves. That is what rehab is for, for the addict seeking help. There aren't many facilities tho to help the addict.
We can accept being lost and unloved, but it's when hope is lost, all reasons to keep fighting are gone.

There needs to be forced rehabilitation . Just go pick them up and get them clean whether they like it or not.
I think xylazine is going to allow us to think about taking a more assertive approach to treatment with those who are addicted. With the sores that come with xylazine and potential life threatening consequences, I think there will be more reason to consider rethinking how we work with those who have an addiction. I do not think we can just allow people to continue to use harmful substances and look the other way.

In Russia about 15 years ago they had a similar drug doing the same thing. They called it Crocodile.
2:00 How are we supposed to do that? I honestly would love to FORCE someone into help. It's so bad, that I wish I could lock them up with proper medical care until it's out of their system and have them in forced rehab. But I can't. We are letting them die. This expert says they won't ask for help, which I believe. So if that's the case, we're letting them die! We need to have some legal way to FORCE them into care, to save their life. What could be more loving?
Reality check, nothing will help them; they are lost to family and society. They do not want to be help, and the money thrown at them is a waste...sad but true. Let's put the money in schools.
That kind of thinking is exactly why this situation exists... you are part of the problem.
@anthonylattanzio8594 let's see how I'm the problem, I am a productive member of society, take care of myself, pay my taxes, take care of my medical problems, and those of family members. Avoid situations that could get me in trouble and do help the needy that is seeking help....yes, I am the problem not wanting to waste money on people who are beyond help and do not want or desire to change their life.
All these decades, no one has thought of increasing jail sentences for drug dealers?
What about cases where dealers cause direct deaths of overdose?
Our judicial system is the problem. No one is afraid of prison time or death penalties for repeat offenders so addicts end up killing themselves. Bottom line is, these addicts are a list cause because legislators depend on their deaths as the final solution to this problem.
LOL. Are you keeping up with the news? Liberal judges are releasing criminals at a record pace, because of "systemic racism".
Maybe it is time to Criminalize drug abuse like before, we have tried the current failed policy long enough. Prison time for dealers and drug treatment camps for the addicts.
@@Liberty2358 I agree with prison terms for dealers. However, its virtually impossible to commit someone to a treatment camp.
Maybe we need new laws.
execution of drug dealers would shorten the problem immensely
if you knew it was death penalty youd think twice..
thats why there isnt a lot of addiction in countries who have death penalty or long long prison for drug crimes
it may seem harsh but it is unequivocal that it works
Meanwhile alcohol is sitting on a throne laughing.
Why would anyone want to do this sick shit.
Every episode of intervention it’s almost always a bad childhood, or crappy family. Children who grow up with a married mom and dad who love each other and have a stable household usually end up happy and successful adults. Early divorce, abuse, drugs, neglect, broken homes, if these things happen to a child in their early life they usually end up miserable unmotivated unsuccessful adults. People need to be more responsible about having children.

here in Chicago it's hard to get help or get into a facility unless you have very good insurance or parents that can pay cause the medicine you need cost twice as much as much as the drugs on the street, 2 months ago I was going cold turkey an the withdrawals were so bad my gf called an ambulance I ended up having to sit in the emergency room lobby for six hours in a very uncomfortable chair throwing up in a garbage can just for them to deny me for there detox. I thought they had to treat me some how cause I was over 48 hours an they said they didn't see any drugs in my system
I hate this…what our world is becoming. I know that no one understands the individuals in this situation unless you have been addicted. Every single one of them is trying to escape a pain that lives inside them. After so long it has to be stronger to numb it. These are regular good people just like us all. This was just the way they found an out. The mixture has to stop being made. It’s too hard for them to turn away from. Pray for our people
@@journeymanelectrician ya I mean I really wanna get off this an get my life back, I just need a little help getting through the withdrawals an after that Ill be good I'm mentally strong an have a very high pain tolerance but withdrawals are on its own level, I told the Dr i hadnt eaten or drank anything in over 48 hrs an constsntly throwing up this green bile in front of him but all he said was I'm not admitting you, but they will admit some junkie that's only there cause he can't afford to buy drugs an shows up every few months an soon as he is out of the hospital first thing he does is go by more drugs.
I'm an ex heroin addict & clean 10 years now. Let me tell u that here in San Francisco it was NEVER Ythis bad on the streets where drugs are sold until fentanyl & now this tranq has definitely been in the fentanyl for awhile. It's interesting that they are just confirming it now publicly. The addicts living on the street are way different thN the addicts a decade ago. I was never on the street because I always worked through my entire addiction and had a sugar daddy or two at all times but it has totally changed out here. And the cops just sit in their cars and watch like it's a movie. Police are dirty out here and are paid off by dealers all the time and politicians are being definitely paid off by the cartels. It's scary. It doesn't feel safe anymore on our once beautiful Market st. It's really tragic.
I wish" I had a sugar daddy or two at all times".. but I was not pretty enough.

I heard about the legendary market street
Ok, I'm just gonna say this: every two or three years they come out with a stronger zombie drug, now this one isn't affected by Narcan. We heard in the last ten years about drugs that rotted their skin, causing their flesh to just fall off, even where you could see the bones. One caused people to literally try to eat other people's faces. I've watched this rock on all these years, one after another. At some point it begins to create a larger picture....someone wants to create the perfect zombie drug. And many don't care, they just want their fix.
This idiot thinks they should go out and force them into getting help...that's not going to work. You cannot force anyone to get help if they don't want it. They need to send Dudley Doright out to one of the worst areas, let him find out what happens when you attempt to force your will on others.
Whoever/ whatever entity is behind this is not doing it to encourage sobriety, it’s just greed or power or some sickening combination of both.
It is a huge safety issue. Since they do not have mental capacity to function, they should be considered as any other mentally sick person, involuntarily taken form the street and provided appropriate help. After rehab they should be given mini houses and jobs so they can pay bills and have a purpose in life. Supervision and appropriate support should be provided for some time, so they do not relapse. The streets should be cleaned and make decent, livable and beautify. I do not understand this situation are we going to watch and talk? The drug dealer should punish and thrown to a prison, force to work and their earnings should go towards rehabilitation of these people.
who do you think is going to actually do that? the government uses problems like these as "promises" to platform on when they are up for election/ re-election, has any government official ever done what they said they would do when they were campaigning. once voted in, it's someone else's problem.
We are a broken bunch.... self destructive and trapped in vicious cycles of suffering... witnessing people choosing to torment themselves so much, is one of the most painful and heartbreaking experiences I have had on this planet. I remind myself that this too, is part of the human experience and am humbled by the capacity for suffering some endure so transparently, if one day anyone of us, and them, want to heal, may you be shown a way to do so.
Excellent reply!
No “we.” Doesn’t mean we can’t help though.
This is what Rachel Maddow said ivermectin would do to anyone who took it.

Telling addicts that their drug habit is killing them won't make any difference. THEY DON'T CARE!
My best friend overdosed and was brought back to life in an ambulance. Shocked back to life before narcan existed. Next time I saw him he said dying was the best sleep he ever got. Then he continued to shoot heroin. There is no helping someone that won't help themselves

They ARE helping themselves... the only way they know how, and that's numbing the pain in their soul. Numbing out so they don't have to feel it. Usually some very bad stuff in their childhoods they are trying to block out, too painful to deal with.
If you have friends like that you don't need them
Which I had a chance to be in America would make good use of it, find it crazy that these people have the chance and just waste it
Help themselves? You can't get into a detox or rehab with open sores. They say the withdrawal from fetty is way worse than heroin, and you need it at least every four hours to function. The withdrawal from tranq they say is a million times worse than any of it. So waiting in an ER to help yourself is pretty much out of the question. Nobody can do it alone. That doesn't mean they don't want help for themselves. Plus addiction doesn't discriminate. This can happen to anyone.
@@thomasreyes2857 Maybe not while they're in active addiction walking around with tranq wounds about to lose a limb. Otherwise many, many people in addiction are educated, kind, decent human beings.
