I fucking hate the commercials or ad's but I've been fuckin with ya since the beginning & if its helpin ya out watching em the entire way thru then im happy to do it. Love the channel brother keep up the good work
Mitch, I think you should totally do more videos on all the damage you've seen from drugs over the years, especially dope/crank/meth. All we ever hear about from the news is about how people are dying from opioid overdoses (which is very serious and real), but the real keen ones on the streets know that we in America have been in the middle of a god damn meth epidemic for over a decade now. I remember back when quality crystal/meth/dope would cost you upwards of $10 a point. Ever since the cartels literally flooded every state with tons of that sh*t, the price has gone down to less than $10 A GRAM. Who would have ever thought that a gram of meth would one day be cheaper than a gram of weed. I'm not someone who dictates what a person does to their own body, but if you got a powerful drug like that for dirt cheap and easily accessible on the streets, that just means more scumbags are going to be running a god damn muck, completely spun out of their minds... and causing A LOT of collateral damage. #StayRighteous 🙏
I completely agree with you. I'm a recovered addict that turned counselor who works with those in addiction, and from what I've both experienced and seen at work, it's a serious fuckin problem. I've seen more lives destroyed from ice than I could ever possibly want to. People become a completely different entity on that shit and lose their sense of sanity and humanity. Meth-induced psychosis ain't no fucking joke
I had a feeling that this video was gonna turn into that "im the plug" and get self absorbed and glorify use. Im glad i watched this all the way through snd his take is very relatable
42:17 You have told the history of our times. Thank you for putting it all together and laying it out - straight talk - just truth. My old roommate was smoking what he calls meth (garbage). He kept working , buying groceries, and walking his dog. On weekends, he'd get so messed up. Stand at the kitchen sink drooling out the side of his face, pants falling down. I moved and kept in touch, mostly to visit his dog, Bobo. I found him roomate a small house on a ranch for half the rent he was paying. My old roommate, who owns a landscape business, has been using that extra money to get more drugs. He has been losing his mind. He left his dog, My Bobo, to die in his own excrement. Huge soars all over him and thousands of maggots crawling in Bobos flesh. Bo was a big dog with a huge heart. He was funny and he loved me. That psycho twacked out shit torchered and made Bobo suffer for 9 days. I hope he goes to prison, I hope he has the ugliest, cruelest, longest existence. It's true what you say, even IF he gets clean, my old roommate will always be a worthless shit. There has been a paradigm shift.
@@rachelshryack3246 I’m glad you watch and like our content. Man that’s a messed up story. We have 4 dogs all rescues. If I saw that dude in prison he would have come up short for that shit. To me it’s like child molesting, our dogs are our kidds
Yeah meth cannot be blamed for animal cruelty or child molestation. Those people don't need an excuse for being a piece of sh*t. They were a piece of sh*t long before they added drugs.
I've got stories that relate to this but I will share them face to face rather than online ... this is another great inspirational and positive video.. these real deal videos are ones that talk to people and get them to change because they know you have been through it and made positive changes.. you are a great man for doing this Mitch and a big ol thank you to the Mrs.'s for doing all the hard work.

Yeah buddy I hate to say it but I think you're exactly right I'm only 41 or 42 something like that but even back in my day in the mid-to-late 90s I've seen the change from then to now it don't matter if you're on the East Coast or West Coast or anywhere in between I think you're right

True that. Im 55 and back in the early 80s it was fun. Quiting and relapsed in the late 90s shit was differant. Still some good shit at times but it turned i to lifestyle not a party. Quit again and now I see those on it twisted. Stay off it kids…
Thanks Mitch. I’m 52. Grew up in Southern Oregon. At 13 we had access to crank. What a learning experience life is. Got out of the crank game at 17 thank God. Keep up the lessons for the people out of the “know”.🤘
@@HARDINTENTIONS Yep. I did. I had a brother find me in a house that belonged to a woman who had 3 kids running around in that nightmare. Me and my brother lived there. I got out before child protective services got involved. And he became a “ runner “. He got out because he survived an attempted murder. He lives with me now. Can’t hear out of one ear cause that is were the first blast from the Shotgun hit him, and he has half of his thigh gone from the second shot that came from the other barrel. That was the 80’s. Listen to this mans words folks. The shit is real time. Don’t think you can walk thru hell unscathed. ✌🏻
Thank you for being a person who isn’t afraid to recognize the homeless problem for what the overwhelming majority of it is. People who are unwilling to recognize the truth aren’t people who will be able to effectively address issues. So here we are and it’s a damn shame for everyone.
Good video Mitch ,you hit the nail on the head ,dope fiens are not to be trusted and should be sent down the road ASAP ! got rid of that hell 16yrs ago ,best move ive ever made!!!!!!!!
I dealt a lot of weight on my younger days. I caught by the dea and San Diego task force. Anyway. One drug I didn’t fuk with was meth. I hated the clientele and heroin. Come and week was a different type of buyer compared to meth and heroin...tweakers would be calling you 24/7 all spun out. Paranoid. Wasn’t good business dealing with people like that...I don’t see how dudes can get spun out in a prison cell. No where to go. ThTs. Gotta be the worst high
Mitch you have a gift brother to be able to sit there for over a half hour and share your knowledge to us all. You should speak at recovery centers and colleges and if you can get through to one person mission accomplished. Give the misses my love brother 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
June 29, 2017 is my sober date. I know we put ourselves in that situation, but unless you've been there, people have no idea the strength and dedication required to make to the other side. Few know what its like to be at war with your own mind. There is a way out, if you're willing to do the work. Great vids as always Mitch, keep grinding brother!!!
Thank You for sharing your stories sounds as if you have seen the devil himself and lived to tell about it please continue to share love your channel M.L.&R☠️⚒☠️P
Very well said, I was hitting for like 9 year's in the CDC at Old Folsom and I was working in visiting. But I ended up stopping hitting because it just got harder to collect payment and not to mention getting told on by the people that owe you. It was just to much trouble to deal with that. Smiley great video once again and I tell you this, your videos keep me humble because they remind me of the madness that goes on in Prison because it's so easy to forget once we get out. Thank you
You're exactly right it is so easy to forget the hard times once life gets easy. And also yes people started telling my crazy once they knew they had an out with the SNY
Great Video Mitch. Its really sad how masses of people will live their only life to get high. I am so glad that you and your wife are doing so well. Really a great story. Be Easy Partner. Much Respect from the East Coast. Providence, R.I. 👍
This needs to be watched all over the country. You just answered a lot of questions I've had since I e been trying to formulate why men are different than they were in our time. I have something to share that might equally answer some more broader and historical reasons I bet you already surmise. I have an idea, I will email. This right here was great
Very solid message alot of people really need to hear right now. The VA had me fucked up on painkillers bad from injuries I got in the Army. Before it took my health, the last thing I had left, I got off all of it. I smoke a little weed now and drink water. Never been healthier in my life and got my life and my family back. You're completely right, in the streets now its a fast track to death and prison. The drugs are trash and most the people are not solid anymore. Fuck drugs 💪
Thanks for serving our country my friend and I'm so glad that you got your life back on track that's amazing thank you for being an example to those who need it also
Bug Mitch I are by far the best dude on the freakin internet on you tube brother I can hear it in you you care about people thank u brother for your story’s love love love your freakin channel been sober almost 3 years man
I got locked up 2017 at the infamous Cook County jail here in Chicago, we call it the Hotel California. I spent just shy of a year in the same Division and dorm which is rare. The setup was one giant dorm of bunks divided by just a wall with 375 in back and 425 in front just a big one flat room . Turnover rate was a ridiculous 40/60 people every 2 to 3 days. They stopped strip searches because of a big class action lawsuit and was so busy that they didn't even bother with the x-ray machine search because it would take an entire 20-30 seconds per person so they only used it for court. The amount of drugs in this place was astronomical. There were times when up to 8 or 10 people would be overdosing at the same time just 10-20 after the stuff touched ground. I had people literally pass from ODs just feet away from my bunk while i was sleeping or reading a book. Look up from my book a watch them body surf a dead dude to the front bubble.
The whole drug game is very sad because people get so addicted to drugs and they lose their lives and their family members go on living without them just hang on to memories rest in peace to those who have died because of drug addiction
Before the opiate epidemic kicked off people were calling my hometown San Pedro "Slam Speedro". I've personally been clean 11 years (12-28-2009). Alot of dudes are doing life on the installment plan because of drugs, revolving door.
I used to get speed made with P2P back in the day. Some was like glass or you'd see speed called peanut butter crank which wasn't as good. I'd stay up for days and use Tuinal to get some sleep once in awhile. I'll tell you one thing man speed psychosis was no joke.
I always enjoyed THE REAL red and black glass and it was much better than cold cook stuff made through Birch's Reduction and I also remember Crank as well and how it could turn out looking s number of ways.
Yes, it is possible to make crystal from the old p2p procedure. BUT it's too difficult for most and not cost effective to take the time and separate the Levo from the Dextro isomers. Hence WHY starting in the 80s more cooks started using Ephedrine. It's easier to work with and create an air, light amd water stable product.
Anhydrous was when I started noticing a real decline in mental health amongst the speed freaks. Also lithium battery dope or grow dope with gun bluing crap and now the shake and bake and the fact that they cut it with Fenty now really took it to a whole other level. Awful shit. I saw too many people take a trip and they never left the farm. Also witnessed many that never made it back from their trip. The lifestyle is weird for the most part because now there are a lot of muckets and whodunnits who will steal your sh*t and blame you for them being a POS or some will help you look for your sh*t all the while knowing full well where it is. Best to avoid any of it. Trust me on that. It's definitely not worth the effort.
“He didn’t have a lot to say about me cause I didn’t like the f’ing dude 2 begin with”!! Priceless!! Smiley summed that rat out from the beginning! Smiley is a good judge of character I’ll give him that!!

God bless your wife and yourself Mitch thanks for sharing all your wisdom....😀🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ive been clean and sober for a year and a half now by the grace of god, friends and family that gave a shit about me and with the help of 12 step programs. I can’t imagine having to get sober while locked up, where are you can’t even get away from it. Respect ✊
So glad u made it out of that shit hole brother and get to experience the good life out here in the world bro god bless ya I'm praying for your mother to man
Left my car in the hood at a gas station because I thought someone rigged it up to slowly send electricity through my body every time I put my elbow on the on the metal strip on the window. Also spent 16 hours detailing the same car. Can’t nobody tell me that shit is fuckin fun. 🤣🤣
My third comment.....he is so right about paying your debt. If you paid your debts and you keep your "face clean" and been a man of your word, you get so much respect and you might even get something free just for being solid. The biggest thing us when youre solid and everyone knows it and you have a legitimate problem with your money, something unexpected. If that ever happens , most of the time they give you a chance to straighten it out. Even they know that things happen.
Hey Mitch. I know I used to mess around on your channel but i was just joking. truly sorry to hear you lost your job ill watch all the ads. As every little helps take care big fella
He’s 100% right. I was moving weight here in SoCal back in the 90s where there was still a little Loyalty on the streets. But now I see abunch of chumps rattting left and right. There is no more loyalty. When you are in that life and if you are making money and doing good you will have haters left and right that are looking to take you down.
Hi Mitch I’m from Sydney Australia and I just want to touch on the Point about drugs in the jail system. I did time in the mid 80s here and the drugs were just starting to come in mainly heroine and completely decimated the penal system as far as the crims used to stick together after the drugs came in there was no unity all the rules went out the window and it fucked everything bad now it’s even worse with the introduction of crystal meth lab and feta mean if you get what I mean so I agree with your message sounds like the same thing happened over there take care keep the videos coming great work regards Simon
This is exactly how I remember crank. It came out here from Cali and it was called yellow sunshine. Everyone would stay up like 24 hrs and be like o shit I'm good on that for a minute. The shit these kids are snorting, shooting and smoking today is probably 90% chinese bath salts.
IV drug use IS always bad. I remember Heroin people would start shootin, so for 2 weeks or so, you're gettin so high, off less, THEN, you realize, too late, that you've entered the top tier of Opiate addiction, and are now in a NEW bracket of tolerance. Thus is the point where you have no choice anymore. Only those with extrem will power, can still hold a job etc... Most others can't sleep at all, and spend EVERY SECOND financing the Vein Train. This level of withdrawal prohibits goin to work sick. At this point the addict can't even move without H. It's where addict metal scrappers realize, there's more valuable stuff, 10 feet away from the measly scrap metal, just jump the fence....You forget all about legal ramifications....Addiction will be sayin shit like, "They've got money/drugs right inside that store/bank/pharmacy, just go inside, waive the gun around, and they'll just give it to you..." THATS the voice you should definitely ignore! Just go be sick. Easier being sick NOW, at home,, than sick in jail tomorrow!
I am really serious mitch.... Your a much older and wiser man but i can see some of the things your reallysaying. I really learned aot about you and how you survived with class a 38 year sentence in the belly of the beast
I saw a few with meth psychosis in the late 80's but really became crazy in the later 90's. I believe its partly due to different chemicals being used and then also a predisposition for a mental illness. The most profound thing i learned in that life was "there's no right way to do a wrong thing". Intravenous drug use is often the last stop before death or recovery. I've known folks that have a job, a life, a home and do ok but for the most part it always ends one of the same three ways. Jails, institutions or death. Sad. Smoking it took meth to a while new level. It wasn't a real "social" drug back in the late 70's through the 80's and got to be a real issue in the late 90's. And I blame a lot of it on snoking it. It took it ti whole other level. Addiction comes in many forms though. Anything to an excess is a problem. Blessings, Peace and Much Love to you and yours. Thank you for sharing your experiences .
I remember whites from back in the day. And the acid too. This is an interesting perspective on the evolution of the meth trade. I'd say you are spot on although i didn't witness it from inside prison. Great talk, well worth the listen.
They had the same Problem in Portland that I had to live around because I was homeless too, but I was sober and traveling around...but the dope problem on the streets is crazy.
I don’t think I could have ever done Acid for 3-4 months. After an LSD Reid. I was happy it was over. After 12 hrs I wanted to snap my fingers and it was over. BUT......ya better be saddled up for a24 bid
That's what happened to me . A Guy got caught with a little bit of Meth and was facing 30 days in County Jail . He decided he would do some controlled buys from us so he didn't have to do his 20 days with good time . We figured out who he was and he was shunned from the group and put on Blast . In the end none of it is worth it . The Authorities ended up seizing my House , 4 Wheel Drives , Motorcycles , Boat and everything else as proceeds of crime . All for Nothing .
👍Cool story bro , it's exactly like that, dope opens the doors for demonic possession. I even stopped smoking cigarettes. I am the same age as you and I am good. We , old school, were lucky in some way .....it was weed and beer, not so much synthetic drugs like now ! Times have changed a lot ! Ride free! 🦅🙏 Baba Nam Kevalam!
@@HARDINTENTIONS Well , now it is going to be very very difficult to preserve that " lifestyle "...limited travellings , outrageous control everywhere.....nothing is like before and it won't come back....we will be lucky to " score " the food never mind the rest ...😊 You are cool Mich...👍👍👍
@@HARDINTENTIONS I am from Serbia , orthodox Christian origin, they would love you over there...😊. How you got into that , I wonder....it's very different than catholic.....much more genuine, specially Serbian version, it got influenced by our prechristian spirituality which was partly pagan but also connected with Vedas....30 % of Serbian language has Sanskrit words...crazy stuff. You have been Serb in you previous reincarnation.....🤔.. 100 %. Also our pagan God Perun was actually Thor...and you look very much like an Serbian.....very interesting , bro , no kidding....
The shit is crazy man... im in south texas an that shit has ravaged out communities.. i know ppl who do or have done it an everyone reacts differently some get paranoid an need to be cookd up in a small space. Some wanna do things an get shit done. An then u got the ones who go nuts an get homicidal an that is scary... especially in prison nothing but time to sit there an plot an that is dangerous
Ive met ONE homeless guy who wasnt a junkie , i even tested him cause he was in the smart n final grocery parking lot asking for food. I said i could get some speed or black if he wanted n he was like nah i dont fuck around i only drink here n there n i go you want a bottle of vodka? He told me he didnt n that he just was looking for food. I told him sorry i didnt have anything n he said no worries, when he started to walk off i called him back n gave him like 35 n some bananas. I was amazed to meet a legit down on their luck person opposed to these homeless who are always junkies n trying to act as though they arent..

You're exactly right it is so easy to forget the hard times once life gets easy. And also yes people started telling my crazy once they knew they had an out with the SNY
Great Video Mitch. Its really sad how masses of people will live their only life to get high. I am so glad that you and your wife are doing so well. Really a great story. Be Easy Partner. Much Respect from the East Coast. Providence, R.I. 👍
Thank you and much respects right back to you my friend
Thanks for the breakdown Mitch. Very interesting to see the deterioration that the drugs have caused especially from the inmate perspective.
Thanks for watching
The one dislike must be from a spun out psychotic inmate.

This needs to be watched all over the country. You just answered a lot of questions I've had since I e been trying to formulate why men are different than they were in our time. I have something to share that might equally answer some more broader and historical reasons I bet you already surmise. I have an idea, I will email. This right here was great
Thank you for watching my friend I'll check your email take care out there much love and respects Mitch
Very solid message alot of people really need to hear right now. The VA had me fucked up on painkillers bad from injuries I got in the Army. Before it took my health, the last thing I had left, I got off all of it. I smoke a little weed now and drink water. Never been healthier in my life and got my life and my family back. You're completely right, in the streets now its a fast track to death and prison. The drugs are trash and most the people are not solid anymore. Fuck drugs 💪
Thanks for serving our country my friend and I'm so glad that you got your life back on track that's amazing thank you for being an example to those who need it also
Bug Mitch I are by far the best dude on the freakin internet on you tube brother I can hear it in you you care about people thank u brother for your story’s love love love your freakin channel been sober almost 3 years man
Thank you soooo much Mitch for making this video, cause I'm sure alot of people got something good outta it, cause I know I did!! Thank you
I got locked up 2017 at the infamous Cook County jail here in Chicago, we call it the Hotel California. I spent just shy of a year in the same Division and dorm which is rare. The setup was one giant dorm of bunks divided by just a wall with 375 in back and 425 in front just a big one flat room . Turnover rate was a ridiculous 40/60 people every 2 to 3 days. They stopped strip searches because of a big class action lawsuit and was so busy that they didn't even bother with the x-ray machine search because it would take an entire 20-30 seconds per person so they only used it for court. The amount of drugs in this place was astronomical. There were times when up to 8 or 10 people would be overdosing at the same time just 10-20 after the stuff touched ground. I had people literally pass from ODs just feet away from my bunk while i was sleeping or reading a book. Look up from my book a watch them body surf a dead dude to the front bubble.
Right on Mitch, really enjoy your insights and experience with this lifestyle. You are a true OG.
Thank you man
The whole drug game is very sad because people get so addicted to drugs and they lose their lives and their family members go on living without them just hang on to memories rest in peace to those who have died because of drug addiction
Before the opiate epidemic kicked off people were calling my hometown San Pedro "Slam Speedro". I've personally been clean 11 years (12-28-2009). Alot of dudes are doing life on the installment plan because of drugs, revolving door.
Awesome stay clean and stay free my friend
I used to get speed made with P2P back in the day. Some was like glass or you'd see speed called peanut butter crank which wasn't as good. I'd stay up for days and use Tuinal to get some sleep once in awhile. I'll tell you one thing man speed psychosis was no joke.
Man that's way back. When it was good shit.
I always enjoyed THE REAL red and black glass and it was much better than cold cook stuff made through Birch's Reduction and I also remember Crank as well and how it could turn out looking s number of ways.
Yes, it is possible to make crystal from the old p2p procedure. BUT it's too difficult for most and not cost effective to take the time and separate the Levo from the Dextro isomers. Hence WHY starting in the 80s more cooks started using Ephedrine. It's easier to work with and create an air, light amd water stable product.
Be careful you sound smart enough to be a chemist against your own will
Anhydrous was when I started noticing a real decline in mental health amongst the speed freaks. Also lithium battery dope or grow dope with gun bluing crap and now the shake and bake and the fact that they cut it with Fenty now really took it to a whole other level. Awful shit. I saw too many people take a trip and they never left the farm. Also witnessed many that never made it back from their trip. The lifestyle is weird for the most part because now there are a lot of muckets and whodunnits who will steal your sh*t and blame you for them being a POS or some will help you look for your sh*t all the while knowing full well where it is. Best to avoid any of it. Trust me on that. It's definitely not worth the effort.
Been waiting on this
Thanks for sharing your experience. The history is definitely needed today

Left my car in the hood at a gas station because I thought someone rigged it up to slowly send electricity through my body every time I put my elbow on the on the metal strip on the window. Also spent 16 hours detailing the same car. Can’t nobody tell me that shit is fuckin fun. 🤣🤣
That's right there's nothing funny about it or fun it's a straight road to a very bad place glad you survived it
Bruh sad part is i totally relate 😂 hope u found recovery
My third comment.....he is so right about paying your debt. If you paid your debts and you keep your "face clean" and been a man of your word, you get so much respect and you might even get something free just for being solid. The biggest thing us when youre solid and everyone knows it and you have a legitimate problem with your money, something unexpected. If that ever happens , most of the time they give you a chance to straighten it out. Even they know that things happen.
Old School Gladiator Mitch entertainment for Life!!!
Hey Mitch. I know I used to mess around on your channel but i was just joking. truly sorry to hear you lost your job ill watch all the ads. As every little helps take care big fella

Man Mitch.....you just took me back to my bit in ARIZONA DOC....crazy😵fuckin life....indeed brotherman👍
Yeah it's a crazy life bro I'm glad people survive it though that dope game ain't no winning it's just a bad road
We were using anhydrous ammonia and lithium or sodium metal, then the ephedrine.
WHITE POWDER HOLMES 😂😂😂
That’s right brother
He’s 100% right. I was moving weight here in SoCal back in the 90s where there was still a little
Loyalty on the streets. But now I see abunch of chumps rattting left and right. There is no more loyalty. When you are in that life and if you are making money and doing good you will have haters left and right that are looking to take you down.
100% right brother envy and jealousy runs rampant nowadayshell I couldn't even sell cigarettes in prison without getting busted by some rat
What's up smiley happy soon Halloween brother ☠️💀👹💪👍👍👍
God loves you Og Mitch
Preach, Uncle Mitch. I'm 14 years clean. So glad to have been able to escape that shit life
That's right my friend nothing like being free from things that drag you down to hell
The first time I smoked speed was on foil around 1984, I was 16years old
Hi Mitch I’m from Sydney Australia and I just want to touch on the Point about drugs in the jail system. I did time in the mid 80s here and the drugs were just starting to come in mainly heroine and completely decimated the penal system as far as the crims used to stick together after the drugs came in there was no unity all the rules went out the window and it fucked everything bad now it’s even worse with the introduction of crystal meth lab and feta mean if you get what I mean so I agree with your message sounds like the same thing happened over there take care keep the videos coming great work regards Simon
Their loyalty is to the needle before anything else....
Yep
“Back when Men were Men, and the sheep? They were just scared”
Heavy stuff!!
This is exactly how I remember crank. It came out here from Cali and it was called yellow sunshine. Everyone would stay up like 24 hrs and be like o shit I'm good on that for a minute. The shit these kids are snorting, shooting and smoking today is probably 90% chinese bath salts.
It's definitely garbage I'll tell you that best thing ever did was quit
Fn A they make it out the worst most corrosive chemicals you can get your hands on! No big surprise it destroys anything organic!
Pure poison
IV drug use IS always bad. I remember Heroin people would start shootin, so for 2 weeks or so, you're gettin so high, off less, THEN, you realize, too late, that you've entered the top tier of Opiate addiction, and are now in a NEW bracket of tolerance. Thus is the point where you have no choice anymore. Only those with extrem will power, can still hold a job etc...
Most others can't sleep at all, and spend EVERY SECOND financing the Vein Train. This level of withdrawal prohibits goin to work sick. At this point the addict can't even move without H. It's where addict metal scrappers realize, there's more valuable stuff, 10 feet away from the measly scrap metal, just jump the fence....You forget all about legal ramifications....Addiction will be sayin shit like, "They've got money/drugs right inside that store/bank/pharmacy, just go inside, waive the gun around, and they'll just give it to you..."
THATS the voice you should definitely ignore! Just go be sick. Easier being sick NOW, at home,, than sick in jail tomorrow!
that’s right homeboy!👊🏼
That's right my brother
@@HARDINTENTIONS love you carnal!👊🏼
Thanks Mitch.
I learned more about drugs than i have at 1000 NA meeting right now. Spot on
Thank you
I am really serious mitch.... Your a much older and wiser man but i can see some of the things your reallysaying. I really learned aot about you and how you survived with class a 38 year sentence in the belly of the beast
I had to share this with friends
I see a new hard intentions video I hit like
There are definitely more and more spooky people that behave strangely with every passing week
I saw a few with meth psychosis in the late 80's but really became crazy in the later 90's. I believe its partly due to different chemicals being used and then also a predisposition for a mental illness. The most profound thing i learned in that life was "there's no right way to do a wrong thing". Intravenous drug use is often the last stop before death or recovery. I've known folks that have a job, a life, a home and do ok but for the most part it always ends one of the same three ways. Jails, institutions or death. Sad. Smoking it took meth to a while new level. It wasn't a real "social" drug back in the late 70's through the 80's and got to be a real issue in the late 90's. And I blame a lot of it on snoking it. It took it ti whole other level. Addiction comes in many forms though. Anything to an excess is a problem. Blessings, Peace and Much Love to you and yours. Thank you for sharing your experiences .
I remember whites from back in the day. And the acid too. This is an interesting perspective on the evolution of the meth trade. I'd say you are spot on although i didn't witness it from inside prison.
Great talk, well worth the listen.
Thank you. Yeah, things went from being a party , to strait up zoombie shit. Dopes no good. Living strait is ruff but its best
Dign your shit mitch keep rolln
Do my best
I agree 💯 with you. Addiction is immediately devastating today.
Good video ...I like the drugs are for having fun and making money .lol
How you doing bud
They had the same Problem in Portland that I had to live around because I was homeless too, but I was sober and traveling around...but the dope problem on the streets is crazy.
Laying it down plain and simple.
I don’t think I could have ever done Acid for 3-4 months. After an LSD Reid. I was happy it was over. After 12 hrs I wanted to snap my fingers and it was over. BUT......ya better be saddled up for a24 bid
That's what happened to me . A Guy got caught with a little bit of Meth and was facing 30 days in County Jail . He decided he would do some controlled buys from us so he didn't have to do his 20 days with good time . We figured out who he was and he was shunned from the group and put on Blast . In the end none of it is worth it . The Authorities ended up seizing my House , 4 Wheel Drives , Motorcycles , Boat and everything else as proceeds of crime . All for Nothing .
Absolutely. New gangster is 9 to 5
💯 Right!
Right
Whats up HARD INTENTIONS fam hope everyone is having a good day 💯👊
👍Cool story bro , it's exactly like that, dope opens the doors for demonic possession. I even stopped smoking cigarettes. I am the same age as you and I am good. We , old school, were lucky in some way .....it was weed and beer, not so much synthetic drugs like now ! Times have changed a lot ! Ride free! 🦅🙏
Baba Nam Kevalam!
Yes sir it's not a party anymore it's a straight addiction that leads right to hell
@@HARDINTENTIONS Well , now it is going to be very very difficult to preserve that " lifestyle "...limited travellings , outrageous control everywhere.....nothing is like before and it won't come back....we will be lucky to " score " the food never mind the rest ...😊
You are cool Mich...👍👍👍
@@HARDINTENTIONS I am from Serbia , orthodox Christian origin, they would love you over there...😊. How you got into that , I wonder....it's very different than catholic.....much more genuine, specially Serbian version, it got influenced by our prechristian spirituality which was partly pagan but also connected with Vedas....30 % of Serbian language has Sanskrit words...crazy stuff. You have been Serb in you previous reincarnation.....🤔..
100 %. Also our pagan God Perun was actually Thor...and you look very much like an Serbian.....very interesting , bro , no kidding....
The shit is crazy man... im in south texas an that shit has ravaged out communities.. i know ppl who do or have done it an everyone reacts differently some get paranoid an need to be cookd up in a small space. Some wanna do things an get shit done. An then u got the ones who go nuts an get homicidal an that is scary... especially in prison nothing but time to sit there an plot an that is dangerous
Shits bad bad nad
Exactly, cause back in the day nobody would ever put any cut in there stuff! If u bought an oz, u got an oz of stuff!!
What I remember is they were using Hydrotic acid after the P2P days ended. Hydronic acid, red phosphorus and ephedrine.
Red white and blue they call it
Ive met ONE homeless guy who wasnt a junkie , i even tested him cause he was in the smart n final grocery parking lot asking for food. I said i could get some speed or black if he wanted n he was like nah i dont fuck around i only drink here n there n i go you want a bottle of vodka? He told me he didnt n that he just was looking for food. I told him sorry i didnt have anything n he said no worries, when he started to walk off i called him back n gave him like 35 n some bananas. I was amazed to meet a legit down on their luck person opposed to these homeless who are always junkies n trying to act as though they arent..
Yeah occasionally there are guys who are just homeless at least you know he spent that money on food right
My channel is dedicated to those who are still sick and suffering from alcohol or drug addiction. Thanks for sharing this!
