Your channel and hearing everyone's story helps keep me sober and on the right path in life. Thank you for giving them a voice when most would turn their backs to people like us.
Edgar Alvarez read the doctors opinion in the AA big book. There is a test for some controlled drinking there... try it. Lol for me? Never possible and I’d be off to the races and that’s what I don’t want or need. Good luck!
I watch a video every morning with my coffee as a prepare for the day. It’s become a ritual of mine; definitely a reminder that even on the worst day of the week that life could be so much harder.
@@fvhaudsilhvdfs Don't make it racial (you're likely just a trolling white guy trying to cause friction anyway). I'm a black guy and I always remind myself that it could always be worse. These videos remind me of that fact as well. I do believe white privilege is a thing in some cases, but watching a youtube video isn't one of them...
@@fvhaudsilhvdfs That's black privilege for you folks - playing the white guilt card when there is clearly no reason to do so, your just assuming that somebody is finding pleasure in others' pain because of their color. Don't put a label on something you don't understand.
These videos make my stomach hurt sometimes. I dont miss using drugs and all the evil and pain that comes with it. I thank god everyday i made it out alive and hearing these stories makes me beyond grateful that im done with all that and happy again. I pray that these people can get off the streets/drugs. It sucks knowing people are out there feeling like i used too
Good job & bless you all that live sober productive lives, years from now you will even most likely live much longer ,fuller lives due to getting away from this mess.
When I was 16, I thought about naming my rescued cat Felony and thought it might be misunderstood. No joke. I thought it was kinda ironic because it sounds like a pretty name, like Melanie, except nobody wants a felony.
At least she will not suffer beyond imagination , if this was your dad oh god help you .... would love to hear what his two sons would have to say after seeing this ... hopefully the interviewer can get them to appear and give their testimony ..!
when you finally see the signs, parents, friends and curious bystanders that witness some so close to us are so vulnerable as just perhaps this guy is also, its a massive eye-opener!!!!, , it's such a shame that some Hootie stuck up tootsies stay away from this truth, i get them also as nobody wants to love a child so much and carry the shame from their forefathers passing it onto their own! and add ADDICTION of any kind, whatever you want to name it!! , affects all around them/us and can eat us up trying to gain control to fix shit for our own Peace of mind!!!!, generational pain is REAL,i,m sure this is just the surface of the truth by this guy,, bless him for giving more than most would, Wake up to the real world People!! evil has no boundaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very very interesting interview. The best ones are when they aren’t afraid to tell their story. More like a monologue rather than interview. I appreciate his honesty. Wishing him the best❤️
He’s a great storyteller and unfortunately reminds me a lot of one of my family members. Meth is an awful drug and prison is corrupt. Thank you for sharing his story Mark.
He ruined his parents life. Now he's alone. I can't feel bad for him no matter how honest he is. I hope he watches this video and listens to what he told the entire world.
Each person is accountable for thier own actions in life. His Dad made the choice to use and sell drugs regardless that his son enabled the behavior. And his Mom from an early age as he stated in the video was already involved in questionable activities
@@midgard8550 obviously, but does he show remorse while speaking about encouraging his father to use drugs? Does he seem remorseful after stating his mother was his “best friend” then being the reason he is the reason she DIDNT get her papers and got sent back ?
It was 5am when it started here where I am.....i work third shift and it's very slow so I always watch his videos early in the morning when he first posts them
Hate belgum,,most people rasist and closedmined,,and before you say go back home,,i will not have dother here my ex is belg ruin my life,me alone him with new belgum womam,,so is not all same,,stop being rasist,,and here nobody wants ti speak english,,now you do,,here dutch i have to inderstand all like nazzi,,but you or belgum if they go usa is english ok,,grow up
It's incredible how we can always learn something important from everyone. It's not about judging someone's past mistakes or current situation, but taking the time to listen and understand what lead someone to their current situation. There's always an important message stated in all these videos. Lastly, I love how the portraits tell the story along with the interviewees. I find that very fascinating.
I worked in juvenile detention for 23 yrs, visitation , dad would show up wearing gang colors and black eye from getting jump, kids don’t stand a chance
Funny. Commentors are being watched as well not only the video subjects. Psychology bursting at the seams by both subjects and audience....just being random.
@@lah-tee5412 people get it...especially if you're a regular on this. All comments and interviews is who you are at that certain point and time. You can read or see a comment and change your life, perspective just like that and be a different person.
Who tf is giving 14 year olds meth? This guy looks healthy cause he hasn't been out of prison too long. Let's see if he's still smiling like this in a few months.
I've worked with and have known people that are still functional on meth for over ten years they have jobs. I have a uncle that's been doing meth/coke for over 15 years he works construction has a nice house new cars all the time. Im guessing that he just doesn't over do it he probably just micro doses.
tea time your right bro, no-one can tell. I dab in meth once in awhile have 2 jobs, workout and take good care of myself. And no-one can tell i do meth 🤣
He wanted to see "gangster" next to his name, instead it's "meth addicted trick" it's crazy how time passes and we become some shit we never expected to be
@@juliovillegas3991 eyes are wide open....to the human garbage that crawls across the border from mexico and central mexico.. Check out LA Times homicide report... nearly all latino. Murder is job #1 for these people... and rape....(follow the recent protests in mexico by the ladies who are sick of it)
Mark, I don’t know you, but I know you’re far from a pathological narcissist. I understand your mission and I believe these videos and work you do everyday helps people with their own addictions and struggles ( the viewers) Watching these videos reminds me to be compassionate rather than judgmental. 💓☮️
Who said that? Somebody who’s not doing anything and is jealous, I guess. I wish people knew anybody can do something... just do it! Even if it’s just a little kindness to help somebody with their day, they’ll feel better!
I mean hes giving drugaddicts money for financial gain on these videos, that momey could potentially kill them, i dont think he understands the gravity of it
Mark has said he makes little to no money for these videos. You tube demonetizes almost all of them. He does it for himself, he loves doing them and it's a lot of hard work. He gives them money for the interview which is fair. Even if they spend it on drugs which is what they would do anyway...at least they got it honestly.
The ‘G’ he’s referencing around 9:45 is GHB, the date rape drug. Just wanted to clarify that. Also, the SHU is the Segregated Housing Unit. It is the hole in prison. Time in there can be anywhere from three months to years.
@@tantheman3359 Lmao 😂I thought the same the way he described it. I was like ohhh that liquor is efficient! Until the OP filled us in on what it *really* was! Lol
There's more than one "date rape drug", GHB being one of them. CSI, if one were to stay clear of a drug because some malicious scum use it in an evil way, well, the sober life is the life for you. There's a lot of things that can knock someone out, simply giving someone a drink that's stronger than they wanted is in the same territory. I don't think GHB is a very safe drug due to addiction potential, but it is physically healthier than booze and has quite similar effects. Ghb is no worse than other depressants, mostly.
@@joecarter4638 im pretty sure ghb is known as the most common tho, I've had some since I saw it on this video not that good I dont get why people get addicted to it but I never likes alc either, it's just like alcohol but 10× stronger. You put 3ml in some chick's brink and she will be out in 30min. I would never but I could definitely see how easy it is. I still got like one dose left prob gonna save it for some stuck up hitch lol jk
@@tantheman3359 It definitely is. It being a small amount of liquid makes it very easy to mix with a drink so I understand it's effective for criminals. But for a person who enjoys alcohol and is looking after their health, its a smart replacement, assuming you don't abuse it. I think it increases HGH while you sleep, not sure on that though. Booze is just so popular and accepted and leads to even more DR than Ghb and on top of that its toxic as fuck. #legalize ghb... kidding. But what if they sold ghb at pharmacies watered down to safe concentration and gave it a very obvious additive that made your drink taste off if its mixed in. This could restrict illegal Ghb sales to people that need it flavorless and we would know whos buying for shady reasons and if one wanted they could attach all purified ghb position charges with something extra regarding drugging. idk I'm bored, dont take me seriously
@@almadeluz501 he can definitely get charged for that. This is how they are getting a lot of these rappers on vlad.Casanova got sent back for almost the same exact story. If the feds were out to get him they could just use this video to arrest him.
@@unbiascowboy1537 hopefully they see this thread and connect the dots. If the victim is still alive and actively pursuing charges this video could be just what they need to send this guy back to his friends in the SHU program.
@@unbiascowboy1537 yes. I’m not a snitch. He is. Title could be changed to meth addicted trick self snitches for internet clout. Lol. I try and get along with people but I just know I wouldn’t get along with this gentleman.
Mark I have learned so so much watching your videos, the greatest lesson I have learned is (to be grateful for what I have), your videos are a wake up call, no telling HOW MANY PEOPLE you have HELPED though them. Thanks.
Random observation: This is a recurring theme with drug addicts - their sexual fantasies are always greater than how it plays out in reality. I am reminded of Patrick. They are always left unsatisfied. Drugs lead to delusions of grandeur. I've heard many others' stories on here who say life is "good" when they're clean, but ultimately, much too boring/mundane for them. Although this guy isn't "likeable" to most (including myself), it's a relatable human condition that he wants to live in his own head, where everything seems better than in reality.
Porn, drugs n social media fuks ur rewarding system, ur dopamin lvl gets messed up n it just needs to get more n more "exciting" for them in order to feel amused
Alcohol temp numbed my emotional pain but ultimately made things worse. Sobriety was temp uncomfortable because I didn’t know how to live a sober life but ultimately it made things much much better. Thank You Mark!!!
It's crazy that Cardio B speaks openly about the same stuff he was doing (drugging and robbing men) and she is shameless as well but put on a pedestal, how is he any different??? That's a problem with our society, celebrities. They're no different from this man.
This channel is really something special. Hats off to you for giving these people a platform to tell their stories and hopefully help take away the stigma of being an addict. It’s not something we set out for but sometimes life takes us down different roads and we all react differently. One day at a time.
This the realist one I’ve seen in the longest, I swear! So raw. Damn. I don’t know what led me to this video, I try not to watch these as much as it can get a bit depressing. But this one was just like wow!!
Absolutely. And you can tell by many of the comments that they don’t like the real stories. They’d rather hear the bad, made up stories. But yeah, he’s being straight up.
@@lah-tee5412 I know right, the comments are a trip. This is reality. Mfs need to wake up and smell the coffee. If you’re not gonna pull a person up in their weakness, why pass judgement? That’s not helping either.
Actually I think he's a jackass with no redeemable qualities and think the same of Anyone who has anything good to say about this loser clearly you didn't listen.
Josephine, that's a really good plan. You'll see alot of consistency with these people. There are the people like me tho that became an addict and had a great childhood. I just fell in with the wrong crowd and became a junkie. For 20 years i slammed drugs. But here i am. Almost 5 yeara clean. But still think about that buzz every. Single. Day
@@candi4202 sadly theories are based on majority. i would really like to see a theory on the exception if that makes any sense. in psych there cannot be absolutes
Check out Dr Grande catalogue of vlogs he is amazing , dry humor but cover s some fantastic topics. His older stuff is really great for college students, he used to teach .
@@ivanmamula7588 that's funny you mentioned that I actually seen it both ways depending on the prison, either way it's not really where you want to go haha
Loll foreel. I wonder if he could get in trouble if authorities were to see this video and hear him talking about how he stabbed a dude and got away with it cuz the dude didn't snitch.
This guy was entertaining to watch. He's a great story teller, very charismatic. He's hilarious at times, I could see him being a blast to have a drink with.
Luke Gosselin somebody could say the same thing about you and your story. Or at least this comment. Cause I personally don’t want to hear your story. However I listened to this guys entire video.
A lot of hate in these comments but honestly, this was one of my favorites to watch. Tells it like it is. Simple and to the point. Doesn’t care about being judged. Open to any question and had some good stories too.👊🏽
This was a funny interview. 1. Only wanna do drugs with meth heads like me but dont fall asleep! 2. Ha! I guess i am an addict!!!! 3. I was working in Mexico as an illegal! (Wtf?!?) Fucking hilarious!!!
I was hustling out of an apartment full of meth users cause I knew one of them and towards morning, I fell asleep. I woke up with 6 people surrounding me, looking down and saying, “What’s wrong with her? What is she doing?” “I don’t know.” “I dont know.” Then they went and got my friend, got in their huddle around me again. My friend said, “She’s sleeping. Wat u mean, what is she doing?” I was so damn relieved. They responded with a chorus of “Why? Why?” I will never forget that. I am in recovery, but I could tell Meth was a whole different ballgame. That’s why I don’t even judge if meth addicts do horrible things, because none of us know what our brains would do if we deprived them of sleep for weeks and weeks until we’ve been there.
@@brittaolson6550 That's absolutely INSANE! I've heard of people staying up for weeks, I can't even comprehend. The sleep deprivation alone is enough to go into psychosis, add all the chemicals and every other component and its a gd ticking time bomb
@@jessicajennifer9827 the brain is a very sensitive organ and once we manipulate the brain chemistry, especially to the degree it is changed thru meth use and all its side effects like sleep deprivation etc. There is also a line where occasional use turns into regular and sustained use and that negative impact on the brain and its chemistry goes from reversible over time to permanently impacted .. maybe not to the level when actively on the drug, but there is definitely a lasting change after abusing meth for so long. Unfortunately there isn’t enough clinical studies to give us reliable data on this stuff, it really needs to be done when you consider how far and wide meth use has spread across our country. I guess it’s hard to nail down meth users to conduct a long term study tho lollll ...
Judge not lest you have walked a mile in his moccasins. For someone who grew up in the inner cities, without stable parenting, and was in a gang at the age of 14, he has suffered greatly. Do you think kids join gangs b/c they have a wealth of opportunities and their futures bright? Most of them have no choice based on where they live. If you've never been/lived as a poor poc in the streets of South central or compton, you really have no room to judge. Esp with males, they have to become hardened and "show no remorse" in order to survive, as I see Jimmy's being accused of in the comments, which shows an extreme lack of understanding of the reality of the streets. Jimmy says about his situation in jail, he didn't want to stab the guy "but I had no choice." I wish people could see how much lack of opportunites, support, and resources produce adults like Jimmy. He even said, he loves learning, was on the honor roll, and his environment (inner city, where the drug economy provides essential resources), sucked him in...and this is what you get. Hope he finds healing.
@@anubisthedog2 of course there is because everybody in the hood isn’t starving or have crackhead parents there are more good families in the hood than bad it’s just easy for the ones from bad families to stand out cuz they gotta do more to survive & then it becomes life after a while you’ll never understand what kinda decisions ppl are faced with shit be life or death out here
@@anubisthedog2 my dad was off drugs by time I was born & my moms never did drugs but the fact my dad did drugs & was getting his life together we couldn’t start where we ultimately ended we had to endure that shit i didn’t end up a professional dealer but I’ve definitely did it to get by when my parents couldn’t make ends meet you’ll never understand it nobody wants do it but if utilities gettin cut off & sneakers start leaning or it’s time to buy coats but you still ain’t paid the heating bill & house old so you gotta oil tank so you gotta buy in bulk or the tanks won’t even come out what you gon do? We don’t have the support systems a lot of ppl have on the other side I educated myself & followed what I wanted to do & got far tf away but that’s because I ultimately came from good stock & when we got right we never looked back but that shit is hard it’s a million & 1 stories WAYYYY WORSE than my situation
It’s really difficult to find or feel any compassion for this man. There’s just some people that you have to wonder. If they just disappeared would it be any loss to anyone?
@@aesop4024 So I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw this I really liked him and thought he was cool. He's certainly a really good story teller. Then I went in the comment section and saw people talking about him being a bad person and shit and I thought, "What?? Just for doing drugs and shit" And then I rewatched the video looking more critically and then after hearing the stories he told again I understood what people were talking about. What was going on is that he is charasmatic and he's such a good story teller that it made all the bad things he was doing kinda go over my head in a way Through pretty much any moral code he isn't a good person. He literally told stories about getting his dad addicted to drugs, getting both his parents (which he admit have been nothing but good to him) deported, basically pimping out women to get money, almost killing a dude in prison for no real reason, drugging women to get them to "consent" (consent in quotes because you can't consent while you're drugged. So basically he raped them) to doing things he knew they wouldn't do sober, stealing other people's money etc. Add on top of that the fact that he isn't showing any remorse at all and that he's laughing about it and almost proud of it. It's not just that he doesn't fit into my line of moral code, it's that he doesn't fit into any reasonable definition of a moral code.
Many hardcore addicts can maintain functioning for a while... ya either get clean or deeper though eventually... I held a full time job and school and somehow a clean record for 6 years by the grace of God on heroin... last few years I went homeless and couldn’t shower and that changed things... but yehh. Crazy how some people really surprise you huh? We really can’t judge every book by its cover. Ya never know what people do.,
@@almadeluz501 You really cant judge a book by its cover I know. I just wish people could find a way out before it gets to that bad point! ...if youre sober now: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Idk you but I love success stories! 🤗
@@SoAyanna it has been bad for me and I am in deep with opioids and alcohol, have been on opioids for 9 years and alcohol for 3 And yet nobody would ever know I grind my ass off and work 14 hours a day everyday besides Sundays and Mondays. I can't tell you how many people at BOTH my jobs are either functional alcoholics, functional meth addicts or functional opiate addicts and yet you would never even know with them until it gets brought up. So yeah, there is no such thing as "looking like an addict" in general. Addicts don't have a look, some of them are horribly underweight, some overweight, some of them are toothless and some of them have amazing teeth.
I feel bad for his parents, after giving birth and raising this kid to the best of their ability (from the sound of it) his self admitted actions led to the deportation .. hearing him talk about being high and not caring/ignoring the judge during his moms immigration hearing was just sad af man ... that bit of effort could have been the difference between her being able to have a much higher quality of life and even be in position to support others that have had to go back to Mexico .. or whatver she decided for her life but now that option is no longer there based on the sons actions ... I can’t imagine being that mother man ..
Hi! Fascinating and educating stories. I’m from Finland, Scandinavia, a much safer place to live than the neighbourhoods down there. All the best Mark! Keep doing your work for the underpriviledged and people with misery in their lives!! Love the interviews!
MARK, have u seen KARINA? She was 4 months pregnant, still smoking crystal..I wonder if she had her baby and if its ok. She was in love with Sharky... I would love an update on her and her baby.
Our society is so broken. Morals and values are so twisted. Good grief. "Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow." - T Real
I noticed when I listened to these unique stories, my mentality get weaker. Idk how to explain it but I need to change that, I need to hear life. Someone Speaking life into others, now that's a game changer
This dude really said he found 20k and blew it in one week? There ain't many ppl i don't see hope for, and I've met killers... this guy won't break his cycle and it's sad
We have to have an update on this guy please I noticed he used humor and storytelling and we never got to the root of the trauma. He seems to be on a tight rope also, he’s on the verge of loosing it all or possible getting his stuff together
I know it is insane to believe but for a lot of kids, that come from a similar background (like this man) prison is, indeed, cool. It's even a goal! I'll tell you why- in the hood/ghetto, with the gangs & shit, you wanna come up. You join a gang, you start at the bottom of the totem pole, you have to do dirt to move up the ranks, BUT if you don't serve time it is impossible to gain power, respect, notoriety, money, so on & so forth. You cannot become a high-ranking gangster if you don't go to prison! In fact, those with the most power are in prison. Hence, if you're a young boy, that's lost, that doesn't know anything else, yeah, in their world prison is cool. It's a sad reality a lot of us grew up with.
@@l.chikatilo9417 I hear that. I was lost as a street kid in the 90’s. Gang bangin was crazy back then. I looked up to the older guys that had been to juvenile prison and adult prison. Everyone I looked up to is either dead from a violent end or are in prison and will die there.
That’s true but when your in a holding tank for 15 hours this kind of dude will make that time fly. But all joking aside he needs to get his shit together
god this hit home. i'm only 14 but my birth mom was a crystal meth addict, and my dad was never there, my adoptive parents never met him nor know him. it genuinely sucks that some people have to deal with addictions. i'm definitely appreciative of my family i have now, but i sometimes wonder what went on in my mom's head (she passed). i mean , she was bipolar and sexually abused by her own mother as a child, she also was never there for the adoption visits and rarely cared. i truly believe that she cared for me deep down, even if she didn't, i wanna believe she did. i'm glad jimmy can at least do this interview and isnt too far down the hole.
He said “yeah, I’m an addict” with the most beautiful, heartfelt smile ever….. I’m sick to my stomach!! His Mom and Dad imprisoned then deported because of him, addicted for most his life and living on skid-row. Wow
I live in the South Bay, there’s a city called Lomita and homelessness has taken over Lomita Blvd. it would be interesting to see you interview some people!
I pray for America. Here in the UK it definitely happens, but America just seems like it’s got so many internal issues. Sending love not hate. Hope you get it fixed. Life is amazing and such a blessing, find what you love. The true drug is life. 👊🏼
Yepp... our country is very sad on a mental/emotional level. Lots of trauma and emotional wounds, especially in children and childhood. Most want to medicate the pain.. I pray for my country too :’(
@@almadeluz501 bc people are having kids and divorcing. Kids need a family unit, both parents (I don't care what gender) to stay together, love each other, coparent, support each other and the children. Apparently that's asking too much nowadays.
He says he did crazy stuff for the cartels. That is saying something. Mark chose not to touch on that. Smart move.
Your channel and hearing everyone's story helps keep me sober and on the right path in life. Thank you for giving them a voice when most would turn their backs to people like us.

It's incredible how we can always learn something important from everyone. It's not about judging someone's past mistakes or current situation, but taking the time to listen and understand what lead someone to their current situation. There's always an important message stated in all these videos. Lastly, I love how the portraits tell the story along with the interviewees. I find that very fascinating.

You'd be surprised some people you really can't tell that do meth even for years! It s how you take care of yourself and the purity it seems like?

I've worked with and have known people that are still functional on meth for over ten years they have jobs. I have a uncle that's been doing meth/coke for over 15 years he works construction has a nice house new cars all the time. Im guessing that he just doesn't over do it he probably just micro doses.

The ‘G’ he’s referencing around 9:45 is GHB, the date rape drug. Just wanted to clarify that.
Also, the SHU is the Segregated Housing Unit. It is the hole in prison. Time in there can be anywhere from three months to years.
Where can I get some 'G' lol
@@tantheman3359 Lmao 😂I thought the same the way he described it. I was like ohhh that liquor is efficient! Until the OP filled us in on what it *really* was! Lol
There's more than one "date rape drug", GHB being one of them. CSI, if one were to stay clear of a drug because some malicious scum use it in an evil way, well, the sober life is the life for you. There's a lot of things that can knock someone out, simply giving someone a drink that's stronger than they wanted is in the same territory. I don't think GHB is a very safe drug due to addiction potential, but it is physically healthier than booze and has quite similar effects. Ghb is no worse than other depressants, mostly.
@@joecarter4638 im pretty sure ghb is known as the most common tho, I've had some since I saw it on this video not that good I dont get why people get addicted to it but I never likes alc either, it's just like alcohol but 10× stronger. You put 3ml in some chick's brink and she will be out in 30min. I would never but I could definitely see how easy it is. I still got like one dose left prob gonna save it for some stuck up hitch lol jk
@@tantheman3359 It definitely is. It being a small amount of liquid makes it very easy to mix with a drink so I understand it's effective for criminals. But for a person who enjoys alcohol and is looking after their health, its a smart replacement, assuming you don't abuse it. I think it increases HGH while you sleep, not sure on that though. Booze is just so popular and accepted and leads to even more DR than Ghb and on top of that its toxic as fuck. #legalize ghb... kidding. But what if they sold ghb at pharmacies watered down to safe concentration and gave it a very obvious additive that made your drink taste off if its mixed in. This could restrict illegal Ghb sales to people that need it flavorless and we would know whos buying for shady reasons and if one wanted they could attach all purified ghb position charges with something extra regarding drugging. idk I'm bored, dont take me seriously
did he really just snitch on himself by saying he helped get that guy stabbed up?

Mark I have learned so so much watching your videos, the greatest lesson I have learned is (to be grateful for what I have), your videos are a wake up call, no telling HOW MANY PEOPLE you have HELPED though them. Thanks.
Random observation: This is a recurring theme with drug addicts - their sexual fantasies are always greater than how it plays out in reality. I am reminded of Patrick. They are always left unsatisfied. Drugs lead to delusions of grandeur. I've heard many others' stories on here who say life is "good" when they're clean, but ultimately, much too boring/mundane for them. Although this guy isn't "likeable" to most (including myself), it's a relatable human condition that he wants to live in his own head, where everything seems better than in reality.
Porn, drugs n social media fuks ur rewarding system, ur dopamin lvl gets messed up n it just needs to get more n more "exciting" for them in order to feel amused
good observation 👍
Porn is the more likely the cause of delusions of grandeur. Drugs make it exponentially worse.
Especially ecstasy/molly.
Couldn’t agree more Christina . I think it also creates another “chase” . Much the same as addicts chase the first high .
Alcohol temp numbed my emotional pain but ultimately made things worse.
Sobriety was temp uncomfortable because I didn’t know how to live a sober life but ultimately it made things much much better.
Thank You Mark!!!

Meth addicts rarely show remorse until they are forced to get clean.

This was a funny interview.
1. Only wanna do drugs with meth heads like me but dont fall asleep!
2. Ha! I guess i am an addict!!!!
3. I was working in Mexico as an illegal! (Wtf?!?)
Fucking hilarious!!!
I was hustling out of an apartment full of meth users cause I knew one of them and towards morning, I fell asleep. I woke up with 6 people surrounding me, looking down and saying, “What’s wrong with her? What is she doing?” “I don’t know.” “I dont know.” Then they went and got my friend, got in their huddle around me again. My friend said, “She’s sleeping. Wat u mean, what is she doing?” I was so damn relieved. They responded with a chorus of “Why? Why?” I will never forget that. I am in recovery, but I could tell Meth was a whole different ballgame. That’s why I don’t even judge if meth addicts do horrible things, because none of us know what our brains would do if we deprived them of sleep for weeks and weeks until we’ve been there.
@@brittaolson6550 That's absolutely INSANE! I've heard of people staying up for weeks, I can't even comprehend. The sleep deprivation alone is enough to go into psychosis, add all the chemicals and every other component and its a gd ticking time bomb
@@jessicajennifer9827 the brain is a very sensitive organ and once we manipulate the brain chemistry, especially to the degree it is changed thru meth use and all its side effects like sleep deprivation etc. There is also a line where occasional use turns into regular and sustained use and that negative impact on the brain and its chemistry goes from reversible over time to permanently impacted .. maybe not to the level when actively on the drug, but there is definitely a lasting change after abusing meth for so long. Unfortunately there isn’t enough clinical studies to give us reliable data on this stuff, it really needs to be done when you consider how far and wide meth use has spread across our country. I guess it’s hard to nail down meth users to conduct a long term study tho lollll ...

this is a great interview, he was so open and it was like a homie convo
Lovee every minute of it and want more. Very genuine in nature.
Judge not lest you have walked a mile in his moccasins. For someone who grew up in the inner cities, without stable parenting, and was in a gang at the age of 14, he has suffered greatly. Do you think kids join gangs b/c they have a wealth of opportunities and their futures bright? Most of them have no choice based on where they live. If you've never been/lived as a poor poc in the streets of South central or compton, you really have no room to judge. Esp with males, they have to become hardened and "show no remorse" in order to survive, as I see Jimmy's being accused of in the comments, which shows an extreme lack of understanding of the reality of the streets. Jimmy says about his situation in jail, he didn't want to stab the guy "but I had no choice." I wish people could see how much lack of opportunites, support, and resources produce adults like Jimmy. He even said, he loves learning, was on the honor roll, and his environment (inner city, where the drug economy provides essential resources), sucked him in...and this is what you get. Hope he finds healing.
Those Democrats sure are doing a great job running their cities full of people like this, aren't they?
I'm not buying it. That's an excuse people use. There's plenty of people who grew up like him and didn't sling dope or join gang's.
Exactly! Ppl are so judgmental its crazy! Especially when you've not been in those shoes.

It’s really difficult to find or feel any compassion for this man. There’s just some people that you have to wonder. If they just disappeared would it be any loss to anyone?
So, because he doesn't fall in line with your moral code, his life has no value. That explains the criminal justice system perfectly.
That’s a pretty hateful thing to say
@@aesop4024 So I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw this I really liked him and thought he was cool. He's certainly a really good story teller. Then I went in the comment section and saw people talking about him being a bad person and shit and I thought, "What?? Just for doing drugs and shit"
And then I rewatched the video looking more critically and then after hearing the stories he told again I understood what people were talking about. What was going on is that he is charasmatic and he's such a good story teller that it made all the bad things he was doing kinda go over my head in a way
Through pretty much any moral code he isn't a good person. He literally told stories about getting his dad addicted to drugs, getting both his parents (which he admit have been nothing but good to him) deported, basically pimping out women to get money, almost killing a dude in prison for no real reason, drugging women to get them to "consent" (consent in quotes because you can't consent while you're drugged. So basically he raped them) to doing things he knew they wouldn't do sober, stealing other people's money etc. Add on top of that the fact that he isn't showing any remorse at all and that he's laughing about it and almost proud of it.
It's not just that he doesn't fit into my line of moral code, it's that he doesn't fit into any reasonable definition of a moral code.
He doesnt even look like an addict! I hope he stays that way and gets clean!
Many hardcore addicts can maintain functioning for a while... ya either get clean or deeper though eventually... I held a full time job and school and somehow a clean record for 6 years by the grace of God on heroin... last few years I went homeless and couldn’t shower and that changed things... but yehh.

You cannot become a high-ranking gangster if you don't go to prison! In fact, those with the most power are in prison. Hence, if you're a young boy, that's lost, that doesn't know anything else, yeah, in their world prison is cool. It's a sad reality a lot of us grew up with.
@@l.chikatilo9417 I hear that. I was lost as a street kid in the 90’s. Gang bangin was crazy back then. I looked up to the older guys that had been to juvenile prison and adult prison. Everyone I looked up to is either dead from a violent end or are in prison and will die there.
I grew up with dudes like him, and been to jail with dudes like him my man will keep you laughing
So did i. Usually dudes like him that keep everyone else laughing are the most tortured souls.
That’s true but when your in a holding tank for 15 hours this kind of dude will make that time fly. But all joking aside he needs to get his shit together
Thank you for exposing the guys who prey on the women who are dealing with substance abuse. What a class act
Love the black and white photos, they really bring out the person's beauty.
i hate when the meth is cut with chemicals!
WAIT!
I though meth wuzzzz? chemicals
god this hit home. i'm only 14 but my birth mom was a crystal meth addict, and my dad was never there, my adoptive parents never met him nor know him. it genuinely sucks that some people have to deal with addictions. i'm definitely appreciative of my family i have now, but i sometimes wonder what went on in my mom's head (she passed). i mean , she was bipolar and sexually abused by her own mother as a child, she also was never there for the adoption visits and rarely cared. i truly believe that she cared for me deep down, even if she didn't, i wanna believe she did. i'm glad jimmy can at least do this interview and isnt too far down the hole.
❤️
swear to god was gettin up from my desk to go to bed then SWU dropped this on my head.. smh damn you
Lol..I know the feeling, haha
Lol listen to it in bed bro. That’s what I do, I never watch just listen.
He said “yeah, I’m an addict” with the most beautiful, heartfelt smile ever….. I’m sick to my stomach!! His Mom and Dad imprisoned then deported because of him, addicted for most his life and living on skid-row. Wow
I live in the South Bay, there’s a city called Lomita and homelessness has taken over Lomita Blvd. it would be interesting to see you interview some people!
SHU stands for Special Housing Unit for anyone confused. Basically solitary confinement.
I pray for America. Here in the UK it definitely happens, but America just seems like it’s got so many internal issues. Sending love not hate. Hope you get it fixed. Life is amazing and such a blessing, find what you love. The true drug is life. 👊🏼
Yepp... our country is very sad on a mental/emotional level. Lots of trauma and emotional wounds, especially in children and childhood. Most want to medicate the pain.. I pray for my country too :’(
@@almadeluz501 bc people are having kids and divorcing. Kids need a family unit, both parents (I don't care what gender) to stay together, love each other, coparent, support each other and the children. Apparently that's asking too much nowadays.
@@jaxxiet5851 amen 😞
"Are you working?"

maybe maybe not dooo dooo dooo dooo.
Comes a time when a person needs to grow up and be responsible.
