- "Too much of everything is just enough...."
-Bob Weir, Grateful Dead.
And this rings true in so many ways when one is trapped in addiction. When I was younger I did some stupid things, but over time learned SOME lessons at least :)
Here are my stories, as well as my warnings...... use caution, be smart about using substances. And live well my friends.

This video deals with addiction, my youth, and mistakes made. It is intended for educational purposes and I hope it will influence others to make better decisions than I did.
I actually made this a few days ago but a friend came into town and I forgot to upload it. So here it is.
Be well friends-
Carpo
That was a good one dude.
You are the coolest most down to earth guy I've never met. I can relate to just about everything you said here. Thanks for sharing Carpo
thanks man I appreciate that
Carpo you are great. Thanks for telling it like it is. That's part of why I respect you and your channel. Have a wonderful night 😀
You have been on a roll lately! This is one of your best videos IMO. I appreciate your frank and honest way of sharing your experiences. It’s inspiring, man, thanks.
Hi Carpo. I had a new woman I was talking to on the phone ghost me and my ex fiance told me she's dating a guy. Yesterday was rough. It was nice to wake up to one of your new videos. Your videos have become one of my routines that keeps me balanced. Thank you!!
"drugs are drugs and where you draw the line is up to you" nice summing up, as was the difference between "addiction" and "habit". Pity the latter has come to signify the former in common parlance...
Thank You Carpo.!.💕 ✌
I want to acknowledge your courage on sharing your past experiences , your not alone i love your content your really inspiring !!
Thank you, sometimes it's not easy to share our inner thoughts but it's important
PTSD used to keep me up for days straight HORRIBLE FEELING
It's a coping mechanism. Yes. Those extra substances are what we used to cope.
Loved this topic man. Hope the concert rocks!!!
This video was a few days old, yes the concert was great thank you! Well it was just uploaded but I made it a few days ago anyway. 😊
I’m watching this video while taking my mom break- aka smoking the reefer! Looking forward to listening to your thoughts.
Thanks for visiting and thanks for listening
Thank you for sharing......
Thank you for listening so I have the passion to share
love u man
Thank you my friend, late reply or not. :)
Nearing the end of of a long hard core biker party life on of everything I just found out something That I knew when I was young . Most people think what works for them is right . If U do it my way your life will be better . But any one that has changed them selves knows . Is the hardest thing in Life . Good for you best for everyone else . What if they don't want to be u or change . Hard 4 self almost impossible to give to others make happen not going to happen .
We always forget the bad brother while we experience positive, and forget the positive when expert the chaos life likes to throw your way.
Like you said, we all know.. we all go through some bullshit, but we also have fantastic times interacting with others.
Existential questions do not go away.. but you choose how much you want to weigh on them.
It usually takes a lifetime to discover the answer, when we find it, I wouldn't think we stick around to speak about it.
ll this.. is just a stepping stone.
That's right my friend, everything is a Launchpad for something different. I love your screen name. Pink Floyd has given me some very interesting Journeys into my mind. 😊😊
@@carpo719
Cheers bud. Pink Floyd has helped me personally through some dark times.. Gotta love the mind of Roger waters.
Man, I'm dealing with tons of noises around where I live right now too. I feel for ya 💚 Thanks for sharing your stories Carpo!
- admire your passion mate 😊 had to giggle someone giving you a hard time for your 'vices'?
Giving me a hard time? I'm not sure I follow.
@@carpo719I think I was referring to a segment where someone gave you a hard time for drinking coffee
I buy that same Costco/Kirkland/Starbucks coffee.
Good value in it
Damn the Lawnmower
It is an unnecessary evil LOL
@@carpo719 i am a little confused because you said you had tried heroin by smoking it earlier in the video, but when the damn lawnmower started up, you said that you have never tried it because you were afraid that you would like it too much.
Love the shirt brother looks comfortable and warm enjoy your evening sounds like a good time!
yeah it has a nice lining, very warm. I wear it all the time, so I just sewed a dead patch on it a few days ago :)
gotta be dedicated to sew patches on!
"And loud lawnmowers" hahaha!
Love to the video I was wondering I want to try the Kratom you take how do I do that or get some
You can visit my website, I have to use caution because youtube doesn't like talking about kratom. :(
carpos botanicals.
Right on. Someone was givin me a bit of shit for essentially replacing booze with kratom, despite responsible use having no ill side effects. Ha. Totally had the exact same thought about it bein an electronic nip. Also quit meth and hard opiates a few years ago, so it was cool hearin someone in which I cld relate.
But yeah, "Don't let anyone tell ya you can't have your coffee."
Spot on.
It’s amazing how much kratom has decreased my desire to drink alcohol.
@@BowHunter87 No doubt. I hesitate in using the term "wonder drug" or "cure all" but it sure as hell comes damn close to the definition.
cannabis kratom tea microdose of 0.5 psylo is my daily routine
Sounds like a nice lawn mower. lol. Sorry, but that shit made me laugh. I've struggled with a few addictions in my life. Now I use the "safest" drugs only (coffee, mushies, MJ, kratom, and recently discovered DXM helps with my neuropathy pain). I feel a little weird about the DXM, but I found a few research papers that concluded that it helps relieve neuropathy pain, so I figured, why not give it a try? Neuropathy is a bitch. The pain is maddening and it never goes away. It progressively gets worse. The only cure is death...and it ain't a terminal disease. I'm addicted to feeling better now. If I wasn't in pain, I probably wouldn't do much besides MJ and beer. Maybe your neighbor is addicted to cutting grass? Hehe. I'm glad you posted this. The lawnmower isn't that bad, just funny :D
Whoa, what a trip...I tattooed HATE on my knuckles when I was 14 too, with liquid eyeliner. It looks exactly like mine, same hand too. I did regret it, and tried to scrape it out, so then I had HATE carved into my knuckles. lol. I have my sweet coffee and vape too, no regrets. Bye bye meth and cigarettes, right. These days, I sure do miss my kratom. My recovery clinic will kick me out if I have it in my system, boo. I went too far with all my substances too, and now I agree with your view, "Less is more". I've just discovered GABA, and took it for the first time tonight. I stopped clenching my jaw at least. I would like to try L-theanine too, and I am trying to find herbs for my son to try also. He's 18, just started smoking cannabis a few weeks ago, and is already going through entire cartridges in a day, or several grams. It's outrageous, and I hope I can help him. I believe he suffers from anxiety and insomnia like I did at his age. I'm gunna watch some more of your videos, sounds like you have loads of advice I should hear. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment my friend I know the feeling
I used to grind my job a lot too. I guess over a period Of time I learned how to cope with it.
Stevia is a great alternative to sugar. One packet is just as sweet as two sugars. Yup that's all I got out of this video haha. Also I've used kratom on and off for four years and it has the tendency to destroy my appetite if taken everyday. Lost a bunch of weight that I needed. No bueno for me if taken daily. I have to disagree with you. I think if you take kratom daily, it's a habit AND an addiction. If you were to quit taking it and have withdrawals, it's an addition. Trust me, ive been there and kratom withdrawals suck. Not the end of the world but taking it daily definitely fucks with motivation to be productive, appetite, energy, and causes anxiety and depression when not high on it. I can't take it anymore than once or twice a week before I notice negative effects and comedowns from kratom. To each their own though. I've had tons of benefit from it when I was dealing with my own chronic pain condition for two years. But in the end, it has no place in my daily life anymore and has also caused a lot of psychological and physical pain. That goes with any substance really. They can provide benefits but one most know when to put it down before it becomes a true addiction you don't need
Really nice video carpo, really enjoyed it. Dit not know that you take this kind of drugs. I drink my coffee at this moment, now i will also take my kratom and then it is bible time! Haha 😁 ^^
Your definition about addiction was also really on point👍
How much kratom do you take per day?
Hey Carpo, I need some advice. I went on the vice UA-cam channel and it was remembering a black senator or legislator that had passed and I posted a simple "RIP" and got a reply that I was white girl virtue signaling. What does this mean. I live in the south but, I don't get this remark. If you could explain this to me, I would appreciate it.✌❤🙏
I dunno.... seems everyone uses those terms but they don't mean much to me. Some folks ate just jerks
@@carpo719 thanks, I was confused. Since when cant you tell someone rest in peace for god's sake, I was stunned by that.✌❤🙏
@@cindysue5079 people hear these terms like virtue signaling, and politically correct, and then they just start repeating them all the time without really understanding the definition. It makes them feel like they are more intelligent than they really are LOL. Everything has to be about race or politics. It's kind of pathetic
@@carpo719 agree, it hurt my feelings, really because I was just wishing the man peace in death what does that have to do with being white or virtuous. I appreciate you giving me your thoughts. It's frustrating. I am kind to everybody. I don't care what color or ethnicity. Basic human kindness gets a raw deal nowadays. Thanks carpo, it does make me lose faith in humanity!✌❤🙏
