I'm almost a year clean after 25 years... It gets better, depression is the biggest thing for me. Stay strong u got this. We are stronger than we think
You got this man. Its no joke Russian roulette these days with the fentanyl. Not like it used to be where you knew a $10 bag wasn’t going to kill you now you might die off a key bump especially going back after getting clean. You got this man keep it up. Im going on 8yrs after a bad OD, I think I got brain damage I was out for so long but Im still here and Im thankful for the second chance God gave me. Good luck brother 🙏
My best advice a brick of fentanyl Richofffentanyl is a upcoming clothing brand Trapping pressed pills bro bought a k pack but was mad they weren’t real 😅
3 years clean from blues... They aren't lying when they say you become a whole different person. At my worst I was smoking 4 blues at once on the foil... Shit was so addicting, and the withdrawals are horrible. I was on it for 2 years... I'm glad to be where I'm at now... In college, and still alive, just had my 23rd birthday a few days ago... Thank god. If anyone is struggling with this feel free to reach out to me.
Good for you man. It is hard as hell to get off and stay off that shit so you’ve accomplished something that many of us still struggle with. I’ve been struggling again the last year or so and I’ll get a few weeks clean and relapse when I get stressed. I’m back at 8 days clean and I really want to stay clean.
Resolve to take shelter of God, and be positive that as one seeks shelter in His love , there is every hope in the world. Hare Krishna is the great mantra that can bring an end to the miseries we all suffering from. Even if I am drug free, I have to go through birth death disease and old age unless I have a higher goal to reach the transcendental kingdom of God. Chanting Hare Krishna relieves all difficulties. We are eternal, blissful and full of knowledge in our original constitutional position .read Bhagavad Gita As It Is .
I’ve tried alcohol, nicotine and weed but I’ve never been struggling or addicted to anything, I really can’t image what’s it’s like or what it feels like
@@tuii9446 same here, but I guess its after long periods of using these substances that they become addictive, ive lately been craving cigarettes like crazy so it feels like the start of an addiction, but I can still control the urge.
Congrats...im 5 years too...but im on suboxone...it saved my life...I dont care if people say I replaced q for another....I can live a normalization life now n love it....
Smart man. I just celebrated 5 years in Jan. It's hard sometimes, but it's clear that the game has changed now, probably irreversibly. The chance of getting a hot bag is almost 100%. I'm trying to get high, not die.
@@harryschneider1760I’m on subs too. It’s not “sober” by any means but it’s 100x better than dying off Fent so fuck what people say, just try to slowly taper off the subs! I currently take 1mg a day, super low dose but it works just as good
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
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,
Anyone that's been in this drug life, and made it out, I salute you. I went from fentanyl and smack to becoming a Priest, and a systems administrator. I now live a life I once dreamed of, when I was so down and out. It can happen, you can do it, I believe in YOU. Much love Tommy G, you a good dude.
15:36 “ourselves” the most straight up answer I’ve heard yet this man keeping it real and I respect him a whole lot for it only you can break the cycle keep fighting sir I’m rooting for you
@@trillakilla8591 it depends on that kind of video it is hearing and seeing from both sides of a topic is very informative but that’s just my opinion the only videos im sick of watching are most of these prank videos with titles like “selling drugs in hood prank” and stuff like that
This stuff is no joke! I was hooked on opiates for 10 years and then heavily hooked on fetty for 2 years. What makes it so scary is it does feel amazing, but will hook you IMMEDIATELY and ruin your life, especially with the very short shelf life! I was just tired of living life like that tho and decided to get clean. Did it at home with my lady by my side and man it was a grueling few weeks, especially the first 10 days, but I did it! I got clean and have been clean for 2 years! Could have died getting clean at home without medical help, but I was determined. Now we just bought our first house and life is great! I wish I could warn all first time users to stay far away from this drug…but I can’t. So I wish everyone the best and please stay safe.
Can't die from a fentanyl withdrawal or any opiate for that matter only two drugs can kill you with a withdrawal alcohol and benzodiazepines opiates will just make you wish you were dead
This video came right on time! By the grace of GOD and COMMITMENT, I'm able to celebrate 5 yrs of sobriety today. I used to be so messed up. Now I dedicate my life to helping others. Success over statistics.
I was stuck in this cycle from age 15 to 21, I didn’t think I could ever get away from this but I am here today years clean, barely even taking medication when I am sick now. There is hope for everyone out there who are still struggling. And trust me this is a life long healing process! You can do it, ❤️❤️❤️
I lost my nephew and my cousin to this stuff, my cousin jackie was 40yrs old and left 2 daughters behind while my nephew johnny was 23yrs old, he broke all of ours hearts when he left... i miss him so much, it's a whole other kind of heartbreak, one filled with feelings of a life snuffed out before it ever started, rest in peace to them both, you are missed.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother to this. He was only 35 years old. My mom was so devastated from his death she passed away 8 months later. This drug shatters lives.
Tommy I just wanna express how proud I am for you. First saw you on baylens videos and decided to check ur channel out but they where just prank vids like baylen. Now you’ve found what ur good at. Your like a private journalist it’s actually really really good content.
That sucks I lost 2 of my closest friends, they were barely 21. And I've OD'd maybe 5 times where I was just gone. I still get high I just don't use opiods/ street drugs
These videos are so inspiring to me to stay clean! 20+ yrs of addiction and I have finally changed my life around, 36 days clean today! These drugs aren't even worth doing anymore. Not to me. Thanks for the content!
Shoutout to Tommy for covering this (a major, major, major problem we have in our country). The production quality of the channel also levelled up with this piece. Great work, fellas!
8 months clean after 4 years of everyday fentanyl use. I’m 25 years old and no one around me ever knew. Took myself to rehab and now I’m doing so much better. I hate that this drug is even around. If you try it, you’re done.
@Tommy G glad to see you were in my hometown of Tucson!!! Also glad to see you continuing spreading more light. Praying for all these people that are dealing with this addiction🙏
Tommy G you get my full support brother. I am from the trenches of Philadelphia and truly respect your movement and appreciate how you dive into it all, Never stop!
Former NE Philly resident here(Red Lion Rd between Knights and Academy! Was on heroin from 2007-2010 when it was still heroin down in Kensington, moved back to Minnesota in 2010 and went to treatment and have been clean since October 1, 2010!!! THANK GOD I never tried fentanyl because id probably be dead by now!!!
Tom-This was a masterpiece. You reached a whole new level. Analyzing an international problem, looking at the supply chain, incorporation of secondary research, risking your life, Spanish speaking ability, interviewing the players in the game and as always showing compassion for the victims. Look out Vice News. Tommy G has arrived!
Damn Tommy, the intro looked like some primetime editing. Videos looking really nice, and although I’m a new fan, I am really impressed with your work. Keep up these great lil’ vignettes of life in America (and beyond!) …they’re more compelling and relatable than most “news” shows I’ve seen in years. Much respect…keep on.
29:47 Addiction specialist and behavioral therapist here! Just FYI Harm reduction isn’t generally paid for by taxes. nonprofits handout harm reduction kits, which include clean syringes also testing supplies to see if you have fentanyl in your drugs and Narcan to save people from overdose. It’s not enabling. It’s reducing harm as the name implies. It reduces death and the burden on the healthcare system. People are gonna get high with or without clean needles. And with or without safety supplies.
All harm reduction facilities every single one is run by a state or the government and is funded by our taxes I know this because I have worked with a harm reduction groups in Massachusetts the entire system that harm reduction is based upon is a broken one that no longer helps addicts 75% of the harm reduction groups in our country don't even offer a pathway to get clean play don't work with rehabs or detox centers nonprofits are not allowed to even work in harm reduction as far as dispensing clean needles or pipes it's only allowed under the guidance of federal and state authorities
@@solar2000unfortunately he's completely wrong a simple Google search will teach you that all harm reduction and needle exchange facilities have to be over thought by government authorities be it state or federal state and federal taxes are the only way these centers are funded as a matter of fact a very easy way to check this is look up the funding given by the Biden administration under the cover of covid so these ask Harmony reduction centers could start handing out crack pipes in glass bowls for methamphetamine nonprofits as he put it or not allowed to even run a harm reduction center in the United States anywhere
Also while I was an active user and like most people I know who use if they need a new syringe and they are sick they're not going to take the time to go to a harm reduction or needle exchange they're going to grab whatever goddamn needle they can find to get well and the fact that needle exchanges for the most part don't require collecting the needles they hand out to get new ones is just plastering the streets around them with used needles because everybody just tosses them they do far more harm than they do good harm reduction my ass just another way for Rich assholes to profit off of poor addicted folks
At least in Philly that’s a big controversy because harm reduction groups that have gotten millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to hand out needles are angry about losing those funds.
This is good content. You’re so underrated Tommy. You do amazing content your approach is fantastic. The questions you throw at the people is not what some would even think of putting to a dealer or supplier. Top job Tommy seriously deserves more recognition
The fact that tommy g is really putting in effort for these videos translating everything for us and even speaking a whole other language js to get in contact with them and let us see a prospective we never seen props to tommy g and his team for risking there lives for our education
They are my favorite creators to both are totally genuine. Nice people who do good videos and show all different perspectives. I hope they keep going. And get better and better
Tommy makes intriguing documentaries for years now, very insightful and never judging. Tommy deserves a prize for doing the journalists work way better. Kind regards from the Netherlands and keep up the valuable work 💪😎💪
I worked at the homeless shelter in Phoenix and I remember The Zone. It’s crazy to see since I worked there and I eventually became an addict and homeless. I’m 5 1/2 years sober now. ❤
This is yet another amazing piece of Independent Journalism from the Best UA-camr in the Independent Journalism / Documentary Filmmaking / Content Creation Industry.... Awesome Work, Tommy G!!! You're an amazing Journalist and deserve all the recognition that you're gonna get! Keep it up and I'll be looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for you....
I’ve been clean fentanyl for 9 months now and going strong one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. Treatment has changed my life if your on the fence about going it will change your life for the better this is the happiest I’ve been in a long time and I feel better than ever.
Does that mean if you got 0 likes you'd just keep using drugs? If you need help then get it, you don't need validation from random people online. I think you're more addicted to attention
I disliked just because this is the dumbest thing I've ever read. Why are you trying to turn getting sober into social brownie points? That's fucking cringe bro. Just get sober, or don't. Or continue trolling because if you are this is a great troll comment.
I have been watching your channel for a few weeks now... I am very impressed with the content and people/places you have been. Keep up the good work... 👍
I love this mans channel consistent , real & actually gets information we wanna into from politics to urban and suburban cultures all across the world . Dude was in Mexico and got extorted by the cops wtf
Former Fent addict here, 7 years sober - If you're addicted to opiates, it's possible to quit. The withdrawal sucks, it's an absolute hell really, but the _need_ for it can be kicked. Find out if your employer has a rehab program (a lot do) and take advantage. Prayers up to those suffering.
Keep working hard on it It’s a battle til death I was 4 days from being 3 years clean and relapsed last year This April in the 20’s will be a year down from my relapse I don’t know the exact date cuz I relize if I constantly keep track and think about it Im not done with it I just know it was April Proud of everybody Even if you tried and didn’t succeed It’s never to late and will be hell for sometime but once you wake up and relize it’s over with It’s like being reborn and being a whole new Person I normally don’t congratulate anniversary’s cuz of what I stated earlier But congrats for your 3 years and hope you keep going and never look back
Thanks everyone for your comments they all mean alot to me,I'm going through a tough period in life right now but I'm still sober never going back to that way of living again
Thank you for talking more about harm reduction! I used to work for an agency and part of their work was harm reduction and syringe exchange. It’s definitely weird to see at first, handing someone the stuff they need to do hard drugs. But ultimately, beneficial to public health and wellness.
6 months clean! Was on fentanyl for 5 years. My higher power is amazing and I'm forever grateful at my second chance at life. #wedorecover #ironsharpensiron
Remember that you don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are. So focus on love. Focus on happiness. Focus on feeling fulfilled and like you already have everything you’ve ever wanted. Focus on gratitude. You are a powerful source of energy. When you do this, you will get what you want because you are in alignment and focusing on all you have instead of a lack. Just know you have everything you have ever wanted. It’s already yours . Be joyful! Sending loving energy to you all. ❤️
This is flawed logic. Who you are doesn’t matter if you’re mugged or raped. Are you saying rape victims are victims because of who they are? This is reality, not some magical feel good fairytale.
Big thanks to @TOMMYG! Your documentary on the fentanyl epidemic hit home for me. Growing up and living my whole life in Tucson, I've witnessed the destruction this drug brings. You did a fantastic job uncovering how fentanyl reaches our streets and the lives it takes. It's horrifying to see people openly using fentanyl on our streets. Having kids myself and being so close to the border . We shouldn't have to shield them from this doing an everyday trips with my son's on public but fentanyl forces us to have these tough conversations. Thank you, Tommy G, for raising awareness. Your documentary is an eye-opener, educating people about the dangers of fentanyl and sparking discussions about community safety. Together, we can fight this.
Been sober from heroin for 12 years. Now have my substance abuse counselor license and am working at a residential facility as a counselor. The game has totally changed since the fentanyl epidemic. Now tranq has only made that epidemic worse. People dont realize, there are precursors to fentanyl that are easily accessible for cartels and organized gangs. Parents and people ask me all the time how do we stop this? What can we do to get our loved one help? Honestly theres no good answer, because theres no simple answer. Educating on prevention is way more important than trying to get addicts to just simply "stop". You cant force someone to stop using drugs. Sometimes seperation and making it clear that you will support them if they decide to get clean is the best thing you can do. Sometimes they need jail. Keep doing what youre doing Tommy! Great job on the short documentary!
@@TheElleAngeles Must be a totally different experience growing up and the pressures when you're a kid. Doctors over prescribed opiates about 15 years ago, this led to the opiate epidemic in the US. Not every city is like the one tommy did this documentary in, but most major cities in the US have a fentanyl problem. Tranq is slowly making it's way over too, which is the stuff causing the sores all over their skin. It really is sad, and i think it's a good indication that our mental health in the US is worse now then it ever has been
This is very impresive! i love how much respect you have towards dealers smuglers and addicts. also the way its made is amazing. I hope one day you get a television show on these kind op topics
don’t think it’s respect…. respecting dealers is enabling dealers. he’s quite literally trying not to get killed, but spread awareness. this is not a form of respect
u can not like some one and still respects them, he respects them in away where he's not disrespecting them or talking down to them. he doesn't salute them or anything like "hey man nice job keep it up" but he does still show respect@@notgonnasharemychips7372
I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded to watch this video again
Actually this shameful government is the secret guy behind the scenes who gets most of the cut from what is mistakenly called an epidemic when it actually a crime against humanity.if ever they elude to “cracking down” it’s only to save face to the public. Our fake pos leaders in the most powerful positions r the only ones who can bring in this amount of drug- also funny how sooooo much tranq, by law ONLY accessible by licensed,college educated veterinarians goes unaccounted for? I guess some stuff isn’t important enough to take inventory. Also China was right & patient enough when they said America will be brought down slowly by its own leaders from within n its thru fentanyl. China knew America’s greed well enough to know what to do n sit n wait patiently. So let’s watch every day CNN report on getting such awful illegal immigrants outta here.
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges. I've been sober for 6 years and have my life back.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source? I have suffered from years of addiction, anxiety, and severe ptsd, thinking I got my panic attacks under control, they've come back with a vengeance, and I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't. It's absolutely crippling me, I'm in Switzerland and it is hard to get a reliable source here. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.

Tommy I really appreciate you doing this. I’ve lost 9 friends just in 6 months 17 in a year. I would be one of those numbers but by the grace of got I was able to get out. Not enough people know or care about how or why it’s getting here. Thank you sir
Was stuck on blues for 4 years eventually went to straight fetty powder, im 23 now with almost 70 days clean i wouldnt trade it for anything Edit: thank you all for the kind words
My Son is your age. I’m so proud of you for coming to this realization! Please know you’re not alone! When temptation hits you, tell it to kicks rocks. Our world needs you. You’re loved. ❤
As an addict clean from fentanyl for 11 months I can feel these people pain. In active addiction you get high to live and you live to get high it’s just a black hole that consumes your life it’s not easy but we just need more resources. Thanks for the amazing video Tommy ❤
Thanks for this upload tommy. To everyone out there that feels like there alone, or are trying to fill a void within themselves, drugs is not the answer, everything in life is temporary. Including that high you get from it. Just take things 1 day at a time. If your trying to get clean. And if noone ever told you that they love you, even though i have never met you I ❤️ YOU!! God bless ✌🏾
I’m from south jersey, all of the kids I went to school with started dropping like flies in 2014, I graduated in 2011, as years went on it took basically all of them except a few and I’m one of the few who survived..I miss my homies man
I’m happy to know there’s a community here for everyone to share if they choose to. I’ve been clean from opiates since 2013 before my best friend died in 2014, I’ve had other troubles as well but I’m clean and happy, congrats to everyone else on here who is clean and serene! Rest in peace to those who have lost family members/kids/and friends.
I feel that heavy. I used to be hella into the shits myself and after my last OD i said it aint worth it. Going on 7 years clean and 99% of my old friends weren’t as lucky as I and Shits devastating.
Help is immediate when you chant the great mantra. I dropped everything on a dime when a guy I met hitchhiking brought me to the Hare Krishna people. The cure is sure. Hare Krishna 24/7
George Harrison is even guru to millions by chanting: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. TRY IT FOR NO COST AND NO LOSS. GAIN IS GUARANTEED.🎉
Him and 50 other you tubers have did this same thing nothing groundbreaking I have heard this 100 times no one is forcing people to take the drugs but when our policy makers don’t fix the problem it just gets worse all we are is a dollar sign
Thank your little brother for being out there in the trenches giving us this information. You are helping mothers and fathers and families see and try to understand what’s out there or for the fellow addict to be more cautious that shet could possibly be stomped on or prevent someone from “going back out” 6 years clean 🎉
“If I bought $1000 worth of fent how much could I flip it for” Dealer* “Shit like $1 a pill … a thousand pills.” *looks around to homies* “how much is that?” 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
1000 pills going for around 500-1000$ you can sell each pill for 5-15$ maybe 20$ if lucky so you’ll make a good 5k-15k once you sell the 1000 pills not worth the risk the hassle you make more money in real estate 😂😂
@@CuhDehtx For instance in new york you would make 20x-30x your money. 1,000 would flip to 20-30k... he's talking about how much you'd spend per pill with 1k.
He bought the pills for $1000, Tommy asked how much he would make from that. If he charged 10 a pop that's 10g's minus 1 is $9,000. Did you really not follow that?
@@CuhDehtxnot maybe 20 if lucky. In Wisconsin do like they're like 15-20 a pop, I've sold them for 60 before just because I didn't Wana sell them but at least now I can get more lol
Yep, when I was using H and coke years ago my goal was to make 100 bucks to use how I wanted. But I got on methadone then subs right when the pandemic started, probably saved my life
What infuriates me about fentanyl more than anything, is how fentanyl sneaks its way into black market drugs, including weed, and in some rare, extreme cases dispensary weed.
Tommy is the best at this. Idk every single Tommy G video feels like a warm hug when I get the notification. I genuinely appreciate this guy as a human, entertainer, and journalist. Thank you Tommy.
A lot of my friends are dead because of this ish Tommy! I’m 50 days clean after 25 years of damage and I’m 43. Praise God!
Keep it up pistol Pete. You got this homie!!!!
I'm almost a year clean after 25 years... It gets better, depression is the biggest thing for me. Stay strong u got this. We are stronger than we think
@jaylucky5555 congratulations on your new beginning 🎉❤
You got this man. Its no joke Russian roulette these days with the fentanyl. Not like it used to be where you knew a $10 bag wasn’t going to kill you now you might die off a key bump especially going back after getting clean. You got this man keep it up. Im going on 8yrs after a bad OD, I think I got brain damage I was out for so long but Im still here and Im thankful for the second chance God gave me. Good luck brother 🙏
Keep going man proud of you
I like that quote home boy said "A smart man can learn from his mistakes, but a wise man can learn from another man's mistakes." Thx Tommy G!

3 years clean from blues... They aren't lying when they say you become a whole different person. At my worst I was smoking 4 blues at once on the foil... Shit was so addicting, and the withdrawals are horrible. I was on it for 2 years... I'm glad to be where I'm at now... In college, and still alive, just had my 23rd birthday a few days ago... Thank god. If anyone is struggling with this feel free to reach out to me.
Good for you man. It is hard as hell to get off and stay off that shit so you’ve accomplished something that many of us still struggle with. I’ve been struggling again the last year or so and I’ll get a few weeks clean and relapse when I get stressed. I’m back at 8 days clean and I really want to stay clean.
Good on ya mate..it's such a shit show humans have too reach out and help one another..11/10
Congrats on making it out I hope you feel very accomplished 🤝
congrats man! never look back!
Great news!
Can you please do a video on the survivors, those who were addicted to fentanyl, and got clean? We need some resolve, some positivity, some hope.
The people who died off it and need help just make u too uncomfortable to watch huh poor u

Lifelong depression from abusing opioids go brrr
Yes I agree. Please 🙏🏼
I’m struggling with alcohol right now. I can’t even imagine what fentanyl is like. So sad. We got this !
You can do it. Just work hard at it dont give up
One day at a time
I’ve tried alcohol, nicotine and weed but I’ve never been struggling or addicted to anything, I really can’t image what’s it’s like or what it feels like
@@tuii9446 same here, but I guess its after long periods of using these substances that they become addictive, ive lately been craving cigarettes like crazy so it feels like the start of an addiction, but I can still control the urge.
Well I've got 10 years off opioids and booze. Dropping the booze completely is life-changing.
Im going on 5 years sober off fentanyl im super blessed to still be alive, prayers for those still battling addiction.
Congrats...im 5 years too...but im on suboxone...it saved my life...I dont care if people say I replaced q for another....I can live a normalization life now n love it....
Boo hoo
Smart man. I just celebrated 5 years in Jan. It's hard sometimes, but it's clear that the game has changed now, probably irreversibly. The chance of getting a hot bag is almost 100%. I'm trying to get high, not die.
@@harryschneider1760I’m on subs too. It’s not “sober” by any means but it’s 100x better than dying off Fent so fuck what people say, just try to slowly taper off the subs! I currently take 1mg a day, super low dose but it works just as good
@@harryschneider1760look into Kratom
"the cartel just wants to help people" is the craziest thing i ever heard
We can blame them and China where it comes from all we want. The American people are buying it. It will keep coming.
that's like saying the govt has your best interest in mind
They actually do want to help people...but they have to actively make other peoples lives worse in order to do so lol.
They do actually but if you get there help they usually want something in return as well
Technically helping the addicts ? If it wasn’t for them business wouldnt be business. Hard truth. They aren’t feeding it down people’s throats.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life.

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,
Anyone that's been in this drug life, and made it out, I salute you. I went from fentanyl and smack to becoming a Priest, and a systems administrator. I now live a life I once dreamed of, when I was so down and out. It can happen, you can do it, I believe in YOU. Much love Tommy G, you a good dude.
Cap
Pretending to be a priest for internet cloud is a sin folks
hell yea brother amen
Probably definitely NOT a priest I wanna see 😂😂😂😂
Not really helping the church there buddy
congrats!

@@trillakilla8591 it depends on that kind of video it is hearing and seeing from both sides of a topic is very informative but that’s just my opinion the only videos im sick of watching are most of these prank videos with titles like “selling drugs in hood prank” and stuff like that

It's a reality for alot of people😢

Tommy out here getting the realest stories everybody gotta hear ✊💯
This stuff is no joke! I was hooked on opiates for 10 years and then heavily hooked on fetty for 2 years. What makes it so scary is it does feel amazing, but will hook you IMMEDIATELY and ruin your life, especially with the very short shelf life! I was just tired of living life like that tho and decided to get clean. Did it at home with my lady by my side and man it was a grueling few weeks, especially the first 10 days, but I did it! I got clean and have been clean for 2 years! Could have died getting clean at home without medical help, but I was determined. Now we just bought our first house and life is great! I wish I could warn all first time users to stay far away from this drug…but I can’t. So I wish everyone the best and please stay safe.
Can't die from a fentanyl withdrawal or any opiate for that matter only two drugs can kill you with a withdrawal alcohol and benzodiazepines opiates will just make you wish you were dead
Ibogaine for detox , Ibogaine!! Rewires the brain , little withdrawal symptoms!
So happy for you 🎉🎉🎉
Can you maybe do a video video on how you got clean? My nephew is suffering bad
Great job !🎉
Lost my father from a fentanyl overdose back in 2019 I appreciate you doing videos like these Tommy 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you. ❤
So for your loss brotha so have I in 2023😒🙏🏻
I feel that man. Lost my cousin last year to it and it hurt all of us. Loved ones are always in prayers
So sorry for your loss🙏🏻♥️
Shoulda told him put the 💉 down
This was some of your best work. You really delved deep into the issue in America. Love your work my guy
This video came right on time! By the grace of GOD and COMMITMENT, I'm able to celebrate 5 yrs of sobriety today. I used to be so messed up. Now I dedicate my life to helping others. Success over statistics.
Congratulations my boy
April marks 2 years clean from Cocaine for me. You aren’t alone brother, we’re proud of you, even if we don’t see your progress.
Woohoo!! Keep it up!!! 👍
@@WhoTFisICEMAN- 👏👏👏 Congratulations on your sobriety as well! Awesome! 😊
Congratulations my friend✌🏼🖤awesome work
I was stuck in this cycle from age 15 to 21, I didn’t think I could ever get away from this but I am here today years clean, barely even taking medication when I am sick now. There is hope for everyone out there who are still struggling. And trust me this is a life long healing process! You can do it, ❤️❤️❤️
Im proud of you stranger!!! You are so strong.
I lost my nephew and my cousin to this stuff, my cousin jackie was 40yrs old and left 2 daughters behind while my nephew johnny was 23yrs old, he broke all of ours hearts when he left... i miss him so much, it's a whole other kind of heartbreak, one filled with feelings of a life snuffed out before it ever started, rest in peace to them both, you are missed.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother to this. He was only 35 years old. My mom was so devastated from his death she passed away 8 months later. This drug shatters lives.
@mariciafranco9562 thank you so much, I'm so sorry your mom had to live through that, you too, may they rest in peace
Tommy I just wanna express how proud I am for you. First saw you on baylens videos and decided to check ur channel out but they where just prank vids like baylen. Now you’ve found what ur good at. Your like a private journalist it’s actually really really good content.
i lost my momma to fent so this rly hit home with me, love you tommy, love the vids keep it up bro.
This hurts my heart to read. 😔 I’m so sorry for the loss of your Momma. She’s always with you, remember that. Sending you a big hug ❤
That sucks I lost 2 of my closest friends, they were barely 21. And I've OD'd maybe 5 times where I was just gone. I still get high I just don't use opiods/ street drugs
Sorry brother prayers
Condolences 🙏
Sorry my guy. Keep your head up
These videos are so inspiring to me to stay clean! 20+ yrs of addiction and I have finally changed my life around, 36 days clean today! These drugs aren't even worth doing anymore. Not to me. Thanks for the content!
keep it up!
I've been clean for a few years now, best decision I've ever made. Keep up the good work!!
Just keep going it will take around a year to really feel "normal" but you can do it i promise.
I'm proud of you! Hope you're still on your sobriety road. One day at a time!
I sincerely wish you the best and hope you’re still doing well right now!
Shoutout to Tommy for covering this (a major, major, major problem we have in our country).
The production quality of the channel also levelled up with this piece. Great work, fellas!
8 months clean after 4 years of everyday fentanyl use. I’m 25 years old and no one around me ever knew. Took myself to rehab and now I’m doing so much better. I hate that this drug is even around. If you try it, you’re done.
Keep going. One day at a time!
Fentanyl is an amazing medicine and a horrendous drug.
Well done m8 you should be proud of yourself!
Your dumb for using something so strong never needing it in the first place
24 now, trying for the third time to kick my fent habit.
@Tommy G glad to see you were in my hometown of Tucson!!! Also glad to see you continuing spreading more light. Praying for all these people that are dealing with this addiction🙏
Tommy G you get my full support brother.
I am from the trenches of Philadelphia and truly respect your movement and appreciate how you dive into it all,
Never stop!
Former NE Philly resident here(Red Lion Rd between Knights and Academy! Was on heroin from 2007-2010 when it was still heroin down in Kensington, moved back to Minnesota in 2010 and went to treatment and have been clean since October 1, 2010!!! THANK GOD I never tried fentanyl because id probably be dead by now!!!
Tom-This was a masterpiece. You reached a whole new level. Analyzing an international problem, looking at the supply chain, incorporation of secondary research, risking your life, Spanish speaking ability, interviewing the players in the game and as always showing compassion for the victims. Look out Vice News. Tommy G has arrived!
Thanks for doing this one, Tommy💯🙏We have a HUGE problem here with this.....
Yea we need to close the borders...it's a straight crisis but they don't care...it's a political tool to use by both sides
Damn Tommy, the intro looked like some primetime editing. Videos looking really nice, and although I’m a new fan, I am really impressed with your work. Keep up these great lil’ vignettes of life in America (and beyond!) …they’re more compelling and relatable than most “news” shows I’ve seen in years. Much respect…keep on.
29:47 Addiction specialist and behavioral therapist here! Just FYI Harm reduction isn’t generally paid for by taxes. nonprofits handout harm reduction kits, which include clean syringes also testing supplies to see if you have fentanyl in your drugs and Narcan to save people from overdose.
It’s not enabling. It’s reducing harm as the name implies. It reduces death and the burden on the healthcare system. People are gonna get high with or without clean needles. And with or without safety supplies.
Thank you for that. So much coding in this video.
All harm reduction facilities every single one is run by a state or the government and is funded by our taxes I know this because I have worked with a harm reduction groups in Massachusetts the entire system that harm reduction is based upon is a broken one that no longer helps addicts 75% of the harm reduction groups in our country don't even offer a pathway to get clean play don't work with rehabs or detox centers nonprofits are not allowed to even work in harm reduction as far as dispensing clean needles or pipes it's only allowed under the guidance of federal and state authorities
@@solar2000unfortunately he's completely wrong a simple Google search will teach you that all harm reduction and needle exchange facilities have to be over thought by government authorities be it state or federal state and federal taxes are the only way these centers are funded as a matter of fact a very easy way to check this is look up the funding given by the Biden administration under the cover of covid so these ask Harmony reduction centers could start handing out crack pipes in glass bowls for methamphetamine nonprofits as he put it or not allowed to even run a harm reduction center in the United States anywhere
Also while I was an active user and like most people I know who use if they need a new syringe and they are sick they're not going to take the time to go to a harm reduction or needle exchange they're going to grab whatever goddamn needle they can find to get well and the fact that needle exchanges for the most part don't require collecting the needles they hand out to get new ones is just plastering the streets around them with used needles because everybody just tosses them they do far more harm than they do good harm reduction my ass just another way for Rich assholes to profit off of poor addicted folks
At least in Philly that’s a big controversy because harm reduction groups that have gotten millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to hand out needles are angry about losing those funds.
This is good content. You’re so underrated Tommy.
You do amazing content your approach is fantastic. The questions you throw at the people is not what some would even think of putting to a dealer or supplier.
Top job Tommy seriously deserves more recognition
This man is on 🔥 straight dropping top tier documentaries EVERY WEEK!
The fact that tommy g is really putting in effort for these videos translating everything for us and even speaking a whole other language js to get in contact with them and let us see a prospective we never seen props to tommy g and his team for risking there lives for our education
You’re doing an amazing job man. This is truly real reporting.
Tommy, I've been following you and Brandon since you had 100k. You guy are absolutely killing it bro, by far my favorite content creators.
They are my favorite creators to both are totally genuine. Nice people who do good videos and show all different perspectives.
I hope they keep going. And get better and better
Thanks for bringing more attention to this Tommy. It is scary how prevalent this is across the US now
Tommy makes intriguing documentaries for years now, very insightful and never judging. Tommy deserves a prize for doing the journalists work way better.
Kind regards from the Netherlands and keep up the valuable work 💪😎💪
I worked at the homeless shelter in Phoenix and I remember The Zone. It’s crazy to see since I worked there and I eventually became an addict and homeless. I’m 5 1/2 years sober now. ❤
This is yet another amazing piece of Independent Journalism from the Best UA-camr in the Independent Journalism / Documentary Filmmaking / Content Creation Industry....
Awesome Work, Tommy G!!! You're an amazing Journalist and deserve all the recognition that you're gonna get!
Keep it up and I'll be looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for you....
I’ve been clean fentanyl for 9 months now and going strong one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. Treatment has changed my life if your on the fence about going it will change your life for the better this is the happiest I’ve been in a long time and I feel better than ever.
Some of these do it because their life are in shambles and gave up. Its not just the drug thats the problem is their mind as well
🫡keep going jordan and stay clean
Evry like is a day of rehab I’ll do !!!!! I need this
You got this, I believe in you
I believe in you too!!!! ❤❤❤
Does that mean if you got 0 likes you'd just keep using drugs? If you need help then get it, you don't need validation from random people online. I think you're more addicted to attention
Rather be addicted to attention than drugs
I disliked just because this is the dumbest thing I've ever read. Why are you trying to turn getting sober into social brownie points? That's fucking cringe bro. Just get sober, or don't. Or continue trolling because if you are this is a great troll comment.
Rick is a good fucking guy bro going thru the struggle and helping literally anyone that needs it still I really hope things get great for him
Production quality and content on this video is top tier. Great job.
I have been watching your channel for a few weeks now... I am very impressed with the content and people/places you have been. Keep up the good work... 👍
I love this mans channel consistent , real & actually gets information we wanna into from politics to urban and suburban cultures all across the world . Dude was in Mexico and got extorted by the cops wtf
Former Fent addict here, 7 years sober - If you're addicted to opiates, it's possible to quit. The withdrawal sucks, it's an absolute hell really, but the _need_ for it can be kicked. Find out if your employer has a rehab program (a lot do) and take advantage.
Prayers up to those suffering.
Thanks for what your doing Tommy,I'm 3 years sober from this death,and I try to help anyone willing to make a change
Congratulations brother✌🏼🖤keep up the great work
Thanks
Keep working hard on it
It’s a battle til death
I was 4 days from being 3 years clean and relapsed last year
This April in the 20’s will be a year down from my relapse
I don’t know the exact date cuz I relize if I constantly keep track and think about it
Im not done with it
I just know it was April
Proud of everybody
Even if you tried and didn’t succeed
It’s never to late and will be hell for sometime but once you wake up and relize it’s over with
It’s like being reborn and being a whole new Person
I normally don’t congratulate anniversary’s cuz of what I stated earlier
But congrats for your 3 years and hope you keep going and never look back
Thanks everyone for your comments they all mean alot to me,I'm going through a tough period in life right now but I'm still sober never going back to that way of living again
Thank you for talking more about harm reduction! I used to work for an agency and part of their work was harm reduction and syringe exchange. It’s definitely weird to see at first, handing someone the stuff they need to do hard drugs. But ultimately, beneficial to public health and wellness.
6 months clean! Was on fentanyl for 5 years. My higher power is amazing and I'm forever grateful at my second chance at life. #wedorecover #ironsharpensiron
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 you’ve got this!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congrats my brother 🖤✌🏼keep up the great work
I feel like I'm lucky I stopped when I did.... I did tar and coke, never even saw fentanyl or the tranquilizer sh
I can’t imagine how difficult that was and still is. Stay strong 💪
One day at a time! Praise the Lord
When the guy said, you don’t have to feel anything, it’s just a job, that says a lot about their moral compass.
I love how informative you are with your journalism man. Keep it up
Remember that you don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are. So focus on love. Focus on happiness. Focus on feeling fulfilled and like you already have everything you’ve ever wanted. Focus on gratitude. You are a powerful source of energy. When you do this, you will get what you want because you are in alignment and focusing on all you have instead of a lack. Just know you have everything you have ever wanted. It’s already yours . Be joyful! Sending loving energy to you all. ❤️
Accurate, well said ❤
This is flawed logic. Who you are doesn’t matter if you’re mugged or raped. Are you saying rape victims are victims because of who they are? This is reality, not some magical feel good fairytale.
Big thanks to @TOMMYG! Your documentary on the fentanyl epidemic hit home for me. Growing up and living my whole life in Tucson, I've witnessed the destruction this drug brings. You did a fantastic job uncovering how fentanyl reaches our streets and the lives it takes.
It's horrifying to see people openly using fentanyl on our streets. Having kids myself and being so close to the border . We shouldn't have to shield them from this doing an everyday trips with my son's on public but fentanyl forces us to have these tough conversations.
Thank you, Tommy G, for raising awareness. Your documentary is an eye-opener, educating people about the dangers of fentanyl and sparking discussions about community safety. Together, we can fight this.
Love the format of this video, good job to your editor.
Tommy G is his editor lol
Tommy the real G never lets us down. Sending love from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Keep the vids coming 🔥🔥
Been sober from heroin for 12 years. Now have my substance abuse counselor license and am working at a residential facility as a counselor. The game has totally changed since the fentanyl epidemic. Now tranq has only made that epidemic worse. People dont realize, there are precursors to fentanyl that are easily accessible for cartels and organized gangs.
Parents and people ask me all the time how do we stop this? What can we do to get our loved one help? Honestly theres no good answer, because theres no simple answer. Educating on prevention is way more important than trying to get addicts to just simply "stop". You cant force someone to stop using drugs. Sometimes seperation and making it clear that you will support them if they decide to get clean is the best thing you can do. Sometimes they need jail.
Keep doing what youre doing Tommy! Great job on the short documentary!
Exactly it's up to them to stop, only thing you can do it's helping them prevent more harm while they use, so those organizations are actually helpful
This is so interesting to read. We don't have this drug problem in UK so it's like looking into a different world. Congrats on getting clean
@@TheElleAngeles Must be a totally different experience growing up and the pressures when you're a kid. Doctors over prescribed opiates about 15 years ago, this led to the opiate epidemic in the US. Not every city is like the one tommy did this documentary in, but most major cities in the US have a fentanyl problem. Tranq is slowly making it's way over too, which is the stuff causing the sores all over their skin. It really is sad, and i think it's a good indication that our mental health in the US is worse now then it ever has been
@@TheElleAngeles Well you guys have a big spice problem tho, I've seen some docs about it
Man it’s Krazy how far Tommy has came. Everytime
This is very impresive! i love how much respect you have towards dealers smuglers and addicts. also the way its made is amazing. I hope one day you get a television show on these kind op topics
don’t think it’s respect…. respecting dealers is enabling dealers. he’s quite literally trying not to get killed, but spread awareness. this is not a form of respect
He only respects dealers because they would fuck him up if he showed any disrespect. He probably thinks they're scum too
u can not like some one and still respects them, he respects them in away where he's not disrespecting them or talking down to them. he doesn't salute them or anything like "hey man nice job keep it up" but he does still show respect@@notgonnasharemychips7372

could've sworn you posted this one already. Great work as usual
Same
The only reason the government cracks down on this stuff is because the government isn't getting a cut
Actually this shameful government is the secret guy behind the scenes who gets most of the cut from what is mistakenly called an epidemic when it actually a crime against humanity.if ever they elude to “cracking down” it’s only to save face to the public. Our fake pos leaders in the most powerful positions r the only ones who can bring in this amount of drug- also funny how sooooo much tranq, by law ONLY accessible by licensed,college educated veterinarians goes unaccounted for? I guess some stuff isn’t important enough to take inventory. Also China was right & patient enough when they said America will be brought down slowly by its own leaders from within n its thru fentanyl. China knew America’s greed well enough to know what to do n sit n wait patiently. So let’s watch every day CNN report on getting such awful illegal immigrants outta here.
Yup same ones supplying it too they know what's going on.
i love how smooth this guy IS! love the new interview style
Appreciate all this amazing content you put out 🤞🏼
Absolutely brilliant journalism Tommy, this was very well made. One of your better recent videos.
dude your videos montage is always my favorite part to watch. the quaility is professional grade. 👌
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges. I've been sober for 6 years and have my life back.
Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source? I have suffered from years of addiction, anxiety, and severe ptsd, thinking I got my panic attacks under control, they've come back with a vengeance, and I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't. It's absolutely crippling me, I'm in Switzerland and it is hard to get a reliable source here. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.

I’m from south jersey, all of the kids I went to school with started dropping like flies in 2014, I graduated in 2011, as years went on it took basically all of them except a few and I’m one of the few who survived..I miss my homies man
Been there , done that , my son is named after a fallen one. 6 years clean never looked back or thought about it
I graduated in 2011 too and have a similar story. I'm sorry my man.
I graduated in 2011. Similar story also. Pain pills to oxy to opana to heroin to fent n methadone. Stay strong we got this
I’m happy to know there’s a community here for everyone to share if they choose to. I’ve been clean from opiates since 2013 before my best friend died in 2014, I’ve had other troubles as well but I’m clean and happy, congrats to everyone else on here who is clean and serene! Rest in peace to those who have lost family members/kids/and friends.
I feel that heavy. I used to be hella into the shits myself and after my last OD i said it aint worth it. Going on 7 years clean and 99% of my old friends weren’t as lucky as I and Shits devastating.
fent is awful i have been stuck on it for 2 years now i pray for everyone on it and that we can all get help eventually
Same I’m still hooked on this stuff

Him and 50 other you tubers have did this same thing nothing groundbreaking I have heard this 100 times no one is forcing people to take the drugs but when our policy makers don’t fix the problem it just gets worse all we are is a dollar sign
Thank your little brother for being out there in the trenches giving us this information.
You are helping mothers and fathers and families see and try to understand what’s out there or for the fellow addict to be more cautious that shet could possibly be stomped on or prevent someone from “going back out”

“If I bought $1000 worth of fent how much could I flip it for”
Dealer*
“Shit like $1 a pill … a thousand pills.” *looks around to homies* “how much is that?”
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
1000 pills going for around 500-1000$ you can sell each pill for 5-15$ maybe 20$ if lucky so you’ll make a good 5k-15k once you sell the 1000 pills not worth the risk the hassle you make more money in real estate 😂😂
@@CuhDehtx For instance in new york you would make 20x-30x your money. 1,000 would flip to 20-30k... he's talking about how much you'd spend per pill with 1k.
He bought the pills for $1000, Tommy asked how much he would make from that. If he charged 10 a pop that's 10g's minus 1 is $9,000. Did you really not follow that?
@@CuhDehtxnot maybe 20 if lucky. In Wisconsin do like they're like 15-20 a pop, I've sold them for 60 before just because I didn't Wana sell them but at least now I can get more lol

drug addiction is the main reason i chose to work within the homeless community. I grew up downtown, i've seen it. heartbreaking, but i love them all
That’s crazy these people have a 12$ a day habit. And I have a 50-100$ a day habit😭
Yep, when I was using H and coke years ago my goal was to make 100 bucks to use how I wanted. But I got on methadone then subs right when the pandemic started, probably saved my life
