this video was so good i didn't even realize i watched through an entire 55 mins, thought it was like 20 mins max
Who is busta talking to
WHO IS HE TALKING TO
@@COWPto me
It's stolen content
@@Bert-om3no ok
If you don’t watch the original video at least go there and leave a like. What Andrew does with this kind of journalism is really important.
literally the only REAL insight into the world around you if you don't travel there yourself. I know it's a bit goofy but at least it's real.
I agree. I watched the video before watching this one a few days later.
nah we bippin frfr bouta bip that patreon too tho
no. i dont owe anyone anything
@@KenseiShiro understandable. Have a nice day.
X really has the weirdest takes. He says they should hyper-criminalize drugs, followed by saying they should treat by approaching the structural and systemic problem of addiction. Like bro is trying to speedrun the political spectrum at any%
Bro he said a week ago people should be tortured in jail, he has really dark opinions he doesnt share publicly monkaW
In his defense, though. These 2 statements dont inherently contradict eachother.
@@remo3689 Man I was just watching the video, not my fault my ears were open
@@jipgg They kinda do tho, hyper-criminalizing it will only create more cases, just like in the previous war on drugs. Like incarcerating all of the drug users will ruin households, it will overload prisons, it will give more power to drug dealers and it will kill a lot more users because they would have to hide the usage and consequential ODs, and getting clean would be a bigger stigma than it is today because of prison sentences and public opinion etc
@@John_Smith-jw7vo you have to skip the parts where he talks
If anyone is wondering why decriminalization of drug use isn’t working in Canada and the US but it’s working flawlessly in parts of EU like Portugal it worked perfect; it’s because Portugal had tons of resources to help people get clean and lots of people working in programs.
There are extensive waitlists for the programs to help addicts get clean in the West. People lose hope and give up, stuck in addiction.
Well all the money that goes to the legal system/dealers/users/prison and whatever else would be a huge contribution to get more/better facilities for treatment. And with time you could build more of them while also reducing the amount of addicts, giving it a double stacking buff and bim bam bum we go hard.
safe supply is also a key part of making decriminalization optimal too. Clean drugs that are pharmaceutical grade? Why the fuck would anyone buy from a sketchy dealer in that case. It's like the weed market in Canada, 10 years ago in my province they did a survey of street weed and a significant portion of it was laced with something else, usually prayed onto the buds. This problem has since dissapeared due to safe supply and distribution vie dispensaries. Shit just works.
@@Royay The issues people are facing in BC and other provinces are systemic. The reality is, the current systems are inadequate and we need federal legislation to really enable the kind of funding that's going to be needed to make an effective transition.
US has a population of 330 million, Portugal has a population of 10 million, no shit it’s gonna be easier to get the drug problem under control. What an ignorant comment
As Tupac said,
They have money for war, but cannot feed the poor.
It still holds up till this day.. With our country sending billions and billions over seas to fund another war. I wish we could just keep our noses out of other countries business. Let them deal with their own conflict. Then maybe just maybe we could start taking care of our streets. Till then I don’t ever see a end to this madness that will destroy us. I know it’s not just war funding that’s hurting us. Just fk todays America..
Guys, please if you haven't go like the original video. This kind of journalism is very rare and important. Andrew needs all the support he can get.

thanks for long video i needed that
The main problem of the drug use is America's shitty healthcare. They just prescribe people anything to get rid of the pain temporarily and eventually charge them a shit ton of money for it.

My favorite part was when he said, "Its Morphine time"
The problem with increasing the punishments for certain crimes is that, once someone has committed a crime with such a harsh punishment, they may as well commit a bunch of other crimes - since the punishment of getting caught is already so extreme. It leads to an all-or-nothing mindset, may as well go big if you're already legally screwed.
Ah yes cuz this clearly works
@@sealthrux uh, yes, there have been multiple studies on this effect
@@sealthrux for example, say the punishment for burglary was similar to that of assault/murder. bit of a stretch, but as an example. If someone were to break into someone's home to steal, but were caught, it might lead them to also attack the victim, since punishment will be the same regardless, and attacking the victim may prevent being caught.
bro you're clearly like 16 or younger. You barely know the world and yet think your philosophical ideals are better than proven statistics. But lemme give u some advice. Sometimes its not about being a deterrent to 1st timers. Sometimes its just about making sure those that do it, don't do it again for a LOOOOONG time.@@warcusj
@@sealthrux buddy stop projecting, I've probably seen more of the world than you. Statistics back me up, not you
I love how he thinks that homeless, druggie hustlers will stop stealing shit if they raised the penalty significantly.. These people are low key gone on the other hand there's no way jails can house the amount of criminals that would have to be put there if you raised the severity of the crime. And how would they even pay a fine when they already steal and sell the stolen items just to get food and drugs.
They either will or they won't be around to. Those UCLA players who got caught shoplifting in China before Trump bailed them out learned that the hard way. Also crime fell drastically in the 1990s alongside a massive spike in the incarceration rate following the 1994 crime bill so the precedent in the US already exists.
so happy brought up the rat city experiment addiction runs so so deep
NGL in my opinion the reference to the rats drinking coke water he made (although random) has a good point to it. Drug use has a lot to do with the human condition BEYOND just the possibilities of mental illness. 5:50
Edit: I know rats and humans are different lol obviously, but the link is that to a large extent we are all social creatures of life, our priorities partially are surrounded by our general habits and ideologies. Animals have instinctive priorities and humans gain them through our own sentient choices. That in it of itself is the important link.
Californians hate transplants, yet continue to flock to oregon wtf
My friend goes to law school in SF. Last time I went there I had to walk thru a mile of human shit and needles on the sidewalks, dodging them like landmines, just to get to his dorm building, never again.
5:19 And that's exactly why it won't work to just "hyper-criminalize" it X
Never thought id cry to a youtube video but holy that was hard hitting holy
he´s pretty right about the drug use and the root issue of it. the most important reason people use though is because of lack of connection with others. but not having goals is very close to the root. like the having a goal part and wanting to work towards it is the easiest way out of drug use, since forming bonds isn´t as simple while trying to get sober. so yea, it´s a pretty good way to get that intrinsic motivation to actually become better again.
Bro your take on why people use is PERFECTION... its very true ... if you have no social status or anything to strive towards ITS VERY VERY EASY to fall into drugs and no one is going to help you out.... ITS HELL i would never wish it on anyone
thanks for blurring it saved me thanks

Most drug users use because they have shitty lives or because they are depressed and its the only thing that ever brought them any happiness.
Yeah and how do fix that?
Still trying to figure that one out

51:00 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 millionaire finds out what a union is and then the chat tells him it means university holy shit these soft ass kids in his chat
It’s just basic inequality that tech aggravated badly. SF didn’t always cater purely to techies, and it did it just for techies to dip. X himself said it… there’s a downturn that you gotta just swallow and SF is feeling that right now
Here on today's episode, XQC turns a 47 minute video into an hour with his shit takes. RARE!
his takes weren't too bad just repetitive and long winded
@@env0x It feels like every time he says any opinion he has to look for one guy in the chat to argue with about it and make a big scene. Even the most basic shit he'll go over and over it for minutes
idk if ur joking but all of his takes on this specific video were spot on, even though he’s usually not
If your gonna complain about this, just watch the normal video. It’s not that hard
@@RaianBlockbuster stop smoking crack retard.
“Hyper-criminalize it” 😂 great idea you goblin
“Ice cream more addicting than fentanyl “
whats the song at 37:00
when andrwe says that sf is the paris of the west, he isnt lying, same shit... 😂😂
30:30 I looked away for a second and thought that Walter Whites son was spittin' facts.
as someone who has grown up around Detroit my whole life, it is no were as near as bad as this, not the drug use, violence, crime. non of it
I grew up in beecher and i agree, but i also think it maybe a population reason
chat talking about "just move." bay area breed is different, they hustle and grind like no other knowing the setbacks and difficulties at bay. A regular person would just give up and move.
DANG!
6:25 sounds weird but XQC is right here.
we've been going about combating drug use incredibly wrong.
we as humans need to bond with something, if we are healthy we will bond with positive things like family, work, hobby's like reading or anything you can name.
this need to bond is a MUST we just do it we don't have a choice in the matter.
we need something to bond and relate to as well as it needs to be something that gives us comfort.
the study of the rat cage experiment is fascinating.
in short they put a rat with heroin/cocaine laced water in a cage and also gave them access to normal water.
in almost all of the subjects they drank the drugged water till they died from it.
and so we assumed that there are ''chemical hooks'' in drugs that are what makes you addicted.
it was only half right as our bodies definitely become used to them and withdrawal is a very real thing.
see years later the Vietnam war happened and in those dense jungles a lot of soldiers American one's to used heroin/cocaine.
which makes sense, you are in a very stressed place with dangerous animals people and horrible traps...
you could die just from one infected cut in your foot I'm not kidding the jungle alone is hell...
but the weird thing was, when those American soldiers came back to the US.
NONE of them used ANY heroin anymore..
it just vanished amongst them.
so science noticed.. and one guy went well it kinda makes sense.
if we look at the rat cage experiment.
the rat is in there all ALONE, it has NOTHING to do except drink the laced heroin.
so he devised a new study test and made ''Rat Park''
a heaven for Rats, with lots of toys, places to hide and sleep, other Rats to screw, and plenty of food to eat.
and again.. he made sure there was a heroin laced water bottle and a normal one.
what happened next amazed him, the Rats almost never drank the heroin laced water.
they never did so compulsively and they never overdosed/died from it.
it isn't ''Drugs'' that keep someone addicted.. its their ''cage''
their social environment, their place in society.
somewhere they bonded with heroin instead of society or hobby's or something positive.
something fundamental is off in their direct circle.
this could be ANYTHING, it isn't something you can just name and requires time and therapy.
but THAT is what keeps people addicted, not the drug itself..
this is why legalization is so needed.
if people want to try some weed or cocaine for once they should be allowed to.
this way it is secure and controlled so less risk on the drug taking part going bad.
no obstacle to getting professional help if needed for example.
and guess what? then people try it once, see what it is and go ''Well that was fun! but i can't be stoned everyday i have a life I'm very happy with, and i got things to do!''
9:20 bro literally just missed the part of the video that literally showed exactly that because he was yappin so much
The car jacking lMAO
Yo has anyone else already seen this video awhile ago even though it was recently posted or am I tripping ??
The system cant help people who aren't willing to do better for themselves. People need to realize you can't just give free handouts to people who don't want them. There are plenty of resources, these people are too far down their path to change.
someone tell xqc that what he said at 4:12 already happened lol drugs arent the main problem, its community and structure
They want to get rid of the lower class but the lower class doesn’t want to leave
The streamer dilemma
>say nothing and get shit on for not reacting
>yap about stuff you dont know anything about

I looove being from Bay Area
California is fucking wild.
The bay is not this bad
You cant solve this problem by funding the problem. This is a multi-million dollar business in San Francisco, it is peoples jobs to "help" the homeless drug addicts, so if the problem disappears, that means their jobs get taken away. You cant solve homelessness by taxing people more and giving it to the poor, you can only solve it by taxing people less and letting them generate money on their own.
*knows nothing but holds strong opinions*
I forgive xqc cus so does everyone else lmao KSYSYYSYSYYSYS

XQC on looting and bipping (theft) ''I'd do it''
THE HOFF TWINS????
all im gonna say about this is Taxi Driver...
He keeps saying increasing punishment for common crimes will make them less common but does the state or country or whatever, have enough resources to accommodate new prisoners? Wouldn’t doing that mean that there would be less space in prisons for criminals of worse crimes?
Its a socio-economic dilemma. Both outcomes are undesirable. Reducing the sentencing seems to have caused a spike in the rates of these crimes, negatively impacting the local economy by great significance. Increasing the sentencing could make these crime less desirable and decrease the rate at which they are commited, yet still at a rate that the detainment facilities cannot sustain.
There's no obvious approach to solve both problems.
why is the guy who was in prison for dealing cocaine acting like the virtuous one, this is just his new cocaine dealing lmao filming and selling to fox, then he shames the other ones who dont have options or who are addicted and need help, some of them maybe by his hands
This guy is so OUT OF TOUCH, its actually insane
lets hear ur "IN TOUCH" take now
That's why watching him is funny.
i agree his takes on irl things are wild. bro says give an addict and money and they will do better....
@@zeebeaux Yall are ether retarded or insecure. first of all your just minimalizing and over simplifying his takes, where did you even get that from, his general take is to fight the root problems witch Xqc believes come from systematic and social issues in their society.

@@pWoLiAnfor one people losing their jobs isn’t funny. For two old buildings aren’t necessarily unsafe buildings. If you want to build a skyscraper find somewhere else
It's pretty shitty not to even put a link to the original video if you're stealing their content, bro...
The rat analogy makes sense but isn't needed, there's a reason why drugs arent at thing in the east, they didn't fix the "root problem" as X says to get ppl to do stuff, they just have strict laws, even to the extent of death penalty for using drugs, and I agree with it and clearly it works
lol what? Drugs aren't a thing in the east????
What east are you talking about homie? I live in the east with reallyy strict drug laws and I can say this is false
50:28 HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAA
one thing I don't understand is if you're sick of living in that hell of a city, then WHY DON'T YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER CITY ???
everything that you think that it is, is not really what it is
Only thing I got from this video is X has no idea how drugs/addiction works
Broooo I went to SF like 2 years ago 😳 I experienced all this 1st hand… crackheads all down the main streets n you’d see cops on the opposite corner of the intersection doing nothing.. not only on the streets I even saw an Asian dude that looked super non-suspect pull out a pipe on the public bus n start smoking it. My homie and I were walking back to our hotel midday and we were in a part that straight up looked like Hollywood hills but San Francisco version, then we see a homeless man walking up and down the streets digging in every single trash can on that mfer tossing all the garbage in the street. 🤦♂️ unsavable
People back in the days used to get prescribed CIGARETTES because they thought it was beneficial, they found out cigs were pretty much only negative effects so they quit prescribing em… people get prescribed these opioids like percs n whatnot and become dependent so they ultimately just need to quit prescribing the shit period.
Hypercriminalizing drug use will never ever solve the problem. I don't understand how anyone could have this opinion, are people unaware of what happened during prohibition? Prohibition of any kind never ever works no matter what.
The problem with the approach of places like Portland is that they only did a tiny portion of the equation. You need safe supply, harm reduction and critically, you need fully funded recovery services to help people quit or reduce as much a possible. You need social services to help home these people, help get them decent jobs, help them develop social structures etc. This is the most important part of helping addictions. We need safe supply because fentanyl and other shit drugs are what's actually killing people.
Obviously shit still happens with any drugs, but with support, education, and safe supply we can almost entirely eliminate the deaths from drugs. We can almost entirely eliminate the dangerous underground market, there's no reason for criminal enterprises to waste resources trying to sell inferior and dangerous product when you can get it safely from a pharmacy, and the fact it's pharmaceutical grade means there's literally no motivation to buy it from anywhere else.
Anyone who's saying oxy is responsible for the opiate crisis is being disingenuous at best. Illicit fentanyl is THE problem. We have a fentanyl crisis. So many opiate naiive people do other drugs that are contaminated with fentanyl and die because of it, or it gets mixed into other drugs to make them seem "stronger" but they don't mix it well so you get hot spots of high concentrations of fentanyl so they overdose.
If the US invested a tiny fraction of the money they waste on the ae and drugs, they could have a fully functional support system, it could be the absolute best in the world and serve as a pillar for there's to the world to follow. There's too much money to be made in the war on drugs. It serves a political point so the politicians don't want it to end, they ensure it continues happening because they leverage it to gain votes. It also serves to justify the militarization of the police system.
Drug use is a very well understood topic. The problems aren't what they are because it's a hard problem to solve, it's super fucking easy. The US still has a drug problem because they want it, it serves numerous functions. It helps subjugate and institutionalize their less fortunate, you have to keep the prisons full, can't have your modern slave labour breaking down. You need to justify your police funding. You need to reinforce the "us vs. them" mentality that the political parties are fueled by. The list goes on and its pretty dammed obvious that it is the way it is intentionally. We know the solutions that work, we've seen it work. If you look at Portugal you can see a much more effective implamentation of a more holistic system, they still have problems and could do much better, but it's a hell of a lot better than what the US is doing. With the insane amounts of money the US spends, they could revolutionize treatment and support, the fact is that they choose to specifically not fix the problem.
The studies have been done, we can make a roadmap to almost entirely eliminate the issues overnight. Those in power actually making the decisions will actively oppose you if you try to work towards it though. The military industrial complex makes billions of dollars through the war on drugs, political parties maintain their hold on a state because they can fear monger their voters into opposing the opposition. The list goes on and on.
You will never, ever stop people from doing drugs. Even in countries where you can hey the death penalty for drugs, (not) _surprisingly_ people still do drugs, it's almost like it's extraordinarily powerful brain chemistry that's responsible for illogical or irrational behavior no matter what the potential ramifications or punishments are 😮
And yet after Portugal legalized all drugs and provided support structures, overdoses and even general drug use actually declined! holy shit the evidence is out there that this is the best way to do it. If you still think prohibition is the answer, you're being willfully ignorant because demonizing these people has been put forth as an integral part of your sociopolitical identity, and you've been hearing people say that drug use is incompatible with a functional society. Think for yourself and actually look at the evidence available. Tons of studies and real world examples. Anyone saying well look at San Fran or Oregon and CleARly iT dOEsnT WoRk has a fundamental misunderstanding of what's necessary and they're either intentionally trying to misconstrue what's happening or are ill-informed and simply parroting what they've heard others say. There is no other option, anyone with a semblance of logic and more that two braincells to rub together can see the overwhelming evidence which all leads to the same conclusions I've presented here. Rather than making everything super illegal again, why don't we actually at least _try_ to help these people, it wouldn't even take that much money or resources to develop the framework/structure for workable and effective support & recovery systems.
Michael shellenburg has debunked some of these libtard arguments. I can’t speak to specifics but I can say that liberalism is ultimately the problem since it destroys civilizations and I can provide a few thousand paragraphs worth with academic citation on this.

It worked in eastern Europe , similar economically to Portugal but even less drug use in practice . Once one consumer gets taken down every single person in the supply chain ,including the consumer gets 10 years behind bars . It works
The person at 16:00 "I make 2700 every 2 weeks, thats not enough im homeless yada yada yada" then how come her response to how much do you need a month was "5k"???? shes making more than 5k a month
5k to just survive as a homeless person and the only reason she had it better is because they gave her a SRO cuz of her HIV.
