We love you, Adam! I've been a subscriber of yours for so many years, and I know I can't be the only one who appericates your information and drug awareness for those and us that need it.
Thank-you brother glad to see your doing well. 🙏
Have you ever heard of celandine never done opi but this plant is bliss and datuta is king
would you consider doing a new video on amanita muscaria edibles that I've been seeing in smoke shops lately? apparently they're legal in 49 states and I was kinda surprised considering they're somewhat neurotoxic but I'm also super curious to try them to see if they even are legit
Please read the comments and understand the incompetence of your presentation. Opioid addiction requires medical, social and psychological support. Suggesting just cutting down a little each day is near sighted and unreasonable. As a former inpatient dual diagnosis counselor, it takes numerous tries and years before a person can be clean. A few doses of Kratom isn't going to be effective as well as creating a new addiction. Your selling false hope.
Suboxone, methadone Naloxone can help prevent relapse, but the detox is nightmare fuel . Without addressing social and psych issues, no treatment will work. You've treated a serious world health issue much like your life, brief research then consider yourself knowledgeable without looking at the dark central issue. Good day to you, I hope you learn from the comment section.
We all appreciate these videos, thank you!
I recently got away from recreational fentanyl use. I’m blessed in a lot of ways to not be dead right now. Cravings are hard. Staying away is hard. I’m lucky to have friends and family that care.
well done!
I right with ya. Lucky to be alive.
Fentanyl is the worst because it only lasts an hour. So you basically go into instant withdrawal the moment you stop taking it. Impossible to live a normal life.
Nice not to be an ass but curious what started the use? Pain meds?
It was 1974 then in 1976 I was hit by a drunk driver so put BACK on the drip❗️ WON'T let me edit right now stupid UA-cam 🤷🏼♀️⁉️
I got started on opioids in 2010 after I broke my wrist skateboarding, long story short I started using heroin a few years later after the pills got too expensive and hard to find, my addiction took everything from me, it seriously strained my relationship with my family and I lost all my material possessions but I also lost my sense of self, my happiness, drive and sense of purpose in life, I also lost a lot of friends to overdoses over the years. In December of 2020 I was completely broken and hopeless and I finally reached out for help and got on a Suboxone program and I never looked back, it's been almost two and half years since I used heroin/fentanyl and I'm tapering my sub dose and hope to be off in the next couple years. It hasn't been easy, it's like learning how to live life all over again but it's worth it. If you're struggling with addiction just know it's never to late to change.
You got this!
That Suboxone is a life saver.
Look in to SUblocade.
Good for you! Proud of ya. I wish you all the best. Keep, keeping on. Your going to make it.
I used sublacade to taper good luck
In my late teens & 20s my friends and I would do shrooms, Isd, and ecstasy occasionally. Good times!
All were positive, fun, spiritual experiences. But, it's been decades. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who can get psychedelics from. I live in LA & there's a Kush store three blocks from my house, but I can't function alone on weed. I wish they sold psilocybin gummies. I'm a little depressed & a little anxious on a regular basis. I'm not a big drinker and I hate taking pills.
A bite or two of a chocolate bar, or a cup of mushroom tea everyday would be a godsent for me.
Not sure how it is in Cali but where I live psilocybin mushrooms just grow naturally, if you know what to look for and you go at the right time they're pretty easy to find. There's even a mushroom map online to see where the best locations are. Hope this helps, hopefully they'll be legal soon anyway
Since 2001 I’ve had 13 brain surgeries and 200+ spinal taps. I’m totally disabled now but after my 1st brain surgery, I was given high doses of OxyContin (it was still considered a miracle drug back then) along with morphine and dilaudid I.V. That spiraled into years of an opioid addiction. Eventually, I reached rock bottom and I was doing all the things I swore I’d never do. That’s when I realized, I had to stop or I was going to die. I tried EVERYTHING to get sober! NA, AA (even though I don’t drink), 7 inpatient detoxes, Suboxone a couple of times (unfortunately I had precipitated withdrawals once and I wouldn’t wish those on anyone!) but I couldn’t afford it. Eventually I said screw the stigma and tried the methadone clinic. It saved my life! It was 12 years ago I walked into the clinic and I’m actually tapering and slowly decreasing my dose now. Methadone maintenance gave me the stability to get and keep my life together, keep my family together, and once I felt completely stable for years, I decided to try and wean off. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! You won’t regret it, I promise!
Of all my old “using buddies” there’s literally only one person still alive and that’s because she got sober too. I just went to a funeral last weekend for my best friend/sister-in-law. It’s never too late to get sober!
Suboxone didn't really work well for me either, methadone saved my life, been over 7 years now. Good luck on ur taper
My father was on methadone for nearly 15 years. He asked the dr if he could come off of it and the dr told him you will take this for the rest of your life. It took me a few months after hearing of this to convince my father to take kratom to help him come off the methadone. He finally listened to me and after about a month he was completely off the methadone. He continued taking kratom a few more weeks and also dropped it as well.
Me 2 a back injury in 2002 led to Oxy addiction then when cut off? I just went to the streets of Vancouver and bought street Pills the. It became a decade of Heroin ( China White) and a decade of homelessness. I literally walked away from my Kids,House and career. That’s how bad Dope can own You! I felt like a Slave to Dope.
I hated going to the methadone clinics in my city. I prefer pain management since getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning just to wait in-line for 3+ hours. Luckily my pain management helped me taper off properly instead of keeping me addicted.
Your strength shows in your struggle. I'm happy you had success with your recovery. I'm 2177 days clean from alcohol...I never thought I'd be clean for more than a week. As with most things...the first step was the hardest, but so well worth it. X
Have been a heroin addict for a little over 20 years was stuck on the methadone program for years but I changed over to subutex about 3 months ago and am down to 8mg a day and am reducing monthly. Can't wait to finally be done with it.
2y heroin, 10y Methadone now 2y Suboxone. Im at 1mg . Started with 8mg myself.
Awesome brother! Keep it up. I know you're going to get where you want to go! ❤
My mom died from fentanyl. Wish she would’ve seen something like this sooner
Sorry for Your Loss.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry bro 💚
I hope everyone struggling here finds freedom and peace. You can do this. All my love, fellow humans.
For sure ..
We as humans need to normalize loving each other rather than making it seem “sappy” or whatever, I love all of you humans out there💕💕
one of my best friends died of fentanyl overdose when she was 17. it’s still hurts so bad. thank you for spreading awareness about this :(
I'm so sorry x that's tragic
As an x opioid addict for over 10 years most of this is pretty solid advice. However I would note if your using more than a quarter daily like .5gram a day definitely so straight for bup/subutex and get stable. Once you are stable start tapering down off that until your on the lowest dose possible (2mg for suboxon) then cut them up for smaller and smaller doses once your down to 1 quarter of a strip then jump off you one or ruff nights and then comes the 3-4 months of your body adjusting to not having opiets in your system...
I did it You can do it, take back control of your life ✌️
Aaand, now I'm addicted to subs...
Methadone doesn’t work either, and mix that with a fent habit $100/day is why before methadone while on subs the fent would over power the subs. Vice versa completely different
Thank you for this. As someone who is caught in a nasty cycle of trying to get off of fent laced percs this was nice to see and also helpful.
i feel u bro. ive been doin these percs for almost 2 years now. its a rough terrible cycle and its taken a lot from me and ruined my family life. the withdrawals are fuckin nightmarish but at least not as bad as straight fent. wish u the best good luck with ur recovery
Lord, please guide all of these people to clean lives. Help us all. In Jesus name Amen.
Knew a guy who smokes those constantly and needed the cilia of his lungs surgically removed because of the plaque buildup eom.the fillers. Now he breathes like a 90 year old smoker . Sad
Also those aren't percs at all, they are fentanyl pills that are pressed with God knows what filler. There is zero percocet in those fenty blues
@@Boojyman you got me quite worried now.
I just wanted to say I have watched your videos for years now and you are just one of the best kind of humans. Truly a helpful person. I don't personally use any psychoactive substances, but I love to learn about anything I can and you provide truthful and informative videos in a very unique way. Thank you is really what I mean to say. You're a legend.
Thank you for taking my comment into consideration and changing the title, I’m extremely grateful, I think it sums up the video quite well without stigma. You’re awesome Adam!! Keep doin what ur doin!! 😊
This is amazing adam your videos are saving lives.
I think another major important thing is that recovery is not linear. Rarely does anyone stop and NEVER pick up again. People thinking being clean means not using for consecutive days in a row but slip ups are bound and expected to happen. It matters what happens after you slip up. If you’re clean for a year but slipped up once you’re still clean. Many people dive back into their addiction because they feel ashamed that they slipped up once or twice and dread having to recount from day 1. Keep going!
Absolutely. After I stopped counting days, and celebrating anniversaries, I just got in the mindset, that no matter if I make a mistake or not, for five years, or five weeks, I just continue to keep that mindset, that I am not a person who uses dope. I speak it out loud to others, and I actually write it on my medical records. If I slipped, I am a person who does not use dope, that slipped, and am still a person who continues to not use it. It was the intention, that made the biggest difference. For years, my intention was to use less. Now, my intention is to not use. One thing that is very important for me, was eliminating every person in my life, who was intentionally using. That was just as hard, as eliminating that chemical itself, but just as important for long-term stability.
Hey @Psyched Substance, I haven’t even watched this video yet. I haven’t followed in a while actually, but I am reaching out because you have helped me profoundly.
I just wanted to give credit where it’s due. So thank you sir, on behalf of everyone who was a little lost, these videos genuinely made an impact.
HEAVENS YES.
The world needs this.
Also s/o to the most effective concise sponsorship ad. Genuinely pleased.
Glad you finally brought this up mate
It took an accidental carfentanil OD and getting HEP C to kick my IV fentanyl/methamphetamine addiction. I had an appendectomy at age 16 and was prescribed more oxycodone that was more than what is now the usual amount given 15 years later which led me to every opiate/opioid under the sun.
Been on methadone for quite a few years now and I plan to taper with kratom once I finally get off the 'done. Good luck to all my fellow addicts out there. Great video as always! That trip you took to Pain and Wastings (as we call it here in Canada) looked scary... Very sad stuff but there is always hope.
Thanks for this Adam!!! I've loved your channel/videos for a LONG time now. (and I love drugs)
I'm a former heroin addict (clean for 5 years now) and this information FROM a fellow drug fanatic just isn't out there enough.
Appreciate the subtle change in direction from your usual videos for the one drug that literally ruins lives more than any other.
Suboxone saved my life and I know that for a fact. I was able to taper off of that over a couple of years. I think that's going to be a better option for a lot of people if you can get with a good doctor who understands addiction, can work out a plan and monitor it very closely. Kratom was a very dangerous route for me personally since I got too much of a high from it and ended up chasing a high wayyyy too much. Also, I went to a 3 month rehab which really helped me to get to all of those steps.
Same.. From using Methadone 10y tapered down and now using Suboxone. 1mg.
@@cocosloan3748 That's great to hear! Yeah even just that 1mg is enough to keep my mind from getting back into that danger zone.
Thank you for making this, ive been testing all my stuff for it.
Great video, probably saving untold amount of lives with this, thank you for the service to the community!! Please take opioid crisis out of the name, you’re perpetuating the idea that some substances are good and some are bad when they are all simply tools. The media coined this phrase after doctors hooked people on oxy for money, it’s not an epidemic, it’s a dysfunction of the medical community and it’s values of money over life. Thanks for your time, much love Adam! 🙏
Some substances are very bad and some substances are really positive (even if the positives can have bad sides).
@@loveistheanswer5924 respectfully that’s simply untrue. For instance, fentanyl is a crucial medication for those going through conscious intubation and surgery at the hospital, there is no such thing as a “bad tool” only a user who doesn’t respect the tool their using. Don’t quite understand your positive statement but ok 👍 hope you’re well! 🙏 much love
Amazing stuff my boy Adam!! Thanks for this info
My late Father lived to 82 and took about 5mg of Oxycodone every day for 20 years. No problems. He had osteoarthritis from working on concrete for 55 years.
Thank you some people actually need it as life has brought there bodies hell, I’ve been I’ve 4 bad car accidents (3 of which I was the passenger in) and received no medical treatment medicine wise all because of the opioid reduction and it’s hell I’m in so much pain😭 I’ve taken them as a medicinal dosage recreationally to help and it worked wonders
5mg isn’t really enough oxy to cause major withdrawls it’s only when they start taking upwards of 20-100mg that withdrawls will happen
My problem is alcohol. People dont realise how bad the withdrawals can be after coming off a daily drinking habit, 20-30 standard drinks per day will cause some of the worst withdrawal a human can experience. While youre on it, youre blacking out all the time, waking up to people telling you about what youve done the night before and wanting to end your life over it. When you stop youre Seizing up, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, grinding teeth until they shatter, shaking, panic attacks and not being able to function at all without it. Biggest problem is that it gets waved in my face, everywhere i look. Kratom has given me the ability to be normal again, i will not deny its addictive qualities but it is a hell of a lot better than my destructive ass alcohol habit.
Opiates are worse benzos are worse still
@@sampson1377 when youre drinking the amount that i was, it was worse than opiate withdrawal. However it was not as bad as benzos. You can die from alcohol withdrawal, alot of people dont know that.
I had a pretty bad oxycodone addiction but i cant speak for heroin
omg bro, i havent watched your videos in a while but i litterally needed this video right now. im a heroin addicted thinking about getting subutex from my doctor. im right in the preses of dessiding if i want it or not, maybe i try this instead first? a couple of videos of yours have really changed my life and i think this will be one of them. hope you get more good ides like this with actuall real life helpful content. wish you the best
Subutex is pretty good. Now there is injectable buprenorphine that lasts whole month. Sry for my bad english
From a doctor
Kratom helped my dad step down off of a heavy intravenous painkiller addiction when his doctor/supplier cut him off. He used Kratom for 6ish months and eventually put it down as well in favor of medical weed.
I was in the position to help him do this before Kratom was too well known because I had just started using it as a recreational drug. I have had an on and off addictive relationship with Kratom but I have never used harder painkillers.
Kratom has positive and negative applications but it is addictive. That is my honest testimonial.
You can’t cold Turkey f fentanyl it can stroke. A person to dobthat best bet is Go to ER ask for Detox bed.
Thanks for this video. There’s so many people that won”t provide addicts with real information or solutions. Often addicts aren’t even aware there’s these options available. Anyway , I kicked a opiate addiction 5 years ago. Suboxone and rehab. Once u get going and get serious it can work. It’s crazy how different my life is. I have to watch videos like yours sometime to remind me how bad things really were. It helps me bc that’s where I came from and I don’t ever want to forget or go back. 🥂 cheers
love ur content ❤ wish u the best!
I never knew how hard my Momsey struggled with Dilaudid and Oxycontin addiction following 3 back surgeries. At the time, I had 16 years of pharmacy experience. Watching this epidemic unfold has been nothing short of tragic. I used to live near Kensington, so I keep tabs on that area...the exploitation that occurs there is unbelievable. The politics are even worse...Philly's little secret is a huge crime against humanity. Prayers for those struggling and for those who love them. X
My brother recently came clean to me about his month-long stint with street opioids (likely fentanyl). This is valuable info. Hope you're doing well, Adam :)
Heroin and alcohol ruined my life. Being a homeless alcohol was horrifying, seizures, rage fits, alcohol can be evil.
Great info as always keep it comin
Love the videos man keep it up
We need more people like this
UPDATE: Ketamine therapy was very helpful and im a couple weeks sober!
Doing ketamine isn't being sober lmao
No idea who you are, but yay! Congrats :)
How often did you took it? 🙂
It's because it's a dissociative so if ya do enough and it knocks ya out of your body it helps with it. Lol just intend on having a lot of k. Safe travels and much love!
@@dillionchatmsn6349yeah but your assumption also means absolutely nothing
I was doing pressed blues, got off with Kratom, got heavily addicted to Kratom, cold turkeyed that and the withdrawal was BRUTAL. Then a year later I relapsed on ODMST (RC similar to tramadol but stronger) and got clean 3 months ago. The withdrawal from that RC was the worst thing I have ever experienced, worse than Xanax withdrawal it was indescribable. I was put on Suboxone after a few days of HELL (cold turkey) and it saved me. I've been on it for a few months now and it doesn't get me high at all, just feels like I've been stabilized. I'm finally at a point where doing drugs recreationally or even drinking has no appeal in my mind. SO relieving, when going through withdrawals you feel as if there is zero hope and that this is your lifelong curse. But, the feeling of clarity and accomplishment you get when you break through to the other side makes it all worth it. My parents finally got their son back
Bupe really is a good drug if you let it do its thing. I'm tapered down right now, glad you let it work.
Where you getting these RCs at?
Right on! Best of luck my friend ❤
So many people needed this. Not me. but yeah, people other than me ...probably. Thanks, got my like. Positive, needed info for thousands.
There are many others that has great health benefits and still trippy.
Thank you Adam, we appreciate you and your commitment to proper education about substances, addiction and harm reduction.
Haven’t watched in a while as I simply feel like I don’t need the knowledge right now or have gotten what I need from previous videos but really glad to see you still pop in my recommended in this era of the internet giving people much needed information. Keep up the good work man!
7 months clean today. Fentanyl is bad enough but XYLAZINE has made this epidemic even more deadly. Narcan has no effect on Xylazine (a heavy animal tranquilizer)
If you want to talk and spread awareness, I'm a survivor with much to say. 32 been addict since I was 16. There is HOPE. Let's talk brother,
If you're trying to get off opioids you might have the option to use methadone or suboxone to get clean at a clinic. Methadone gets you high still with some pain relief as the mlg goes up. But getting off methadone is harder than getting off the heroin, the detox for me was over 3 months of feeling like garbage and sleep issues if I had known I wouldn't have started methadone. I switched over to suboxone which in some people gets you a little high but it also blocks your opioid receptors in the brain so you can't use and doesn't make you tired like methadone. Also getting off of suboxone is relatively easy I've had no detox from it. You can still use on methadone on suboxone you can't get high. Just my experience be safe.
Hello brother, I wanna thank you for making/ putting this video up on this topic. And the timing couldn’t have been ANY better because I’m currently withdrawling HEAVY from oxy use. Was taking about 250-350mg a day. I’m on day 2.. I’ve been through this multiple times unfortunately & everything you said was 100% true, and it’s sad. And yeah right I’m miserable AF but I also know what my future holds and that’s being alive. . And that’s all I want. So again I thank you good sir 🙏🏻
800-1000 it was Excruciating just to take a piss. But u can do it.
Going to jail back then would suck so bad worst withdrawal ever
Cold hard concrete up all night with cold sweats
I was badly addicted to opiates for 10yrs. Tons of weed n methadone is how i was able to finally break free from the physical dependency
Still taking my subs two years later but haven’t hit the H for a few years now. Thanks for these brother I hate all the bullshit that gets posted nowadays that not true.
I like the podcast/interview type camera view
❤❤ nice content as always
easiest way off is getting the sublocade shots. they recommend a few but you only need one to get clean (physically). stops cravings, can’t be abused and you can’t abuse while on it. truly a cheat code it’s a shame it’s not talked about more
Thanks for the info I'll look it u,I live in Canada so I'll see if we have it here. My son is an addict and injecting crushed M@rphine 😢
Hey adam just wanted to say you look great and seem like youre doing better and i'm happy for you, i'm just wondering if you're just not showing how you feel in your videos(which would be totally understandable of course) or if you're really doing/getting better. Of course it would also be very understandable if you jidt don't wanna talk about this publicly.. It seems like you're on the right path, as am i, staying off weed after a long time of addiction and unhealthy personality, not jidt for the sake of staying sober but really getting to the root of my addiction. Psychedelics were a powerful tool to help me on that way, enough of me just wanted to send some positive vibes from europe(austria)
Mush love and peace
Good job Adam
As I sit here and am smoking Blues, watching this and reading the comments about getting off of this shit, it makes me cry and not because I feel sorry for myself or anything like that but because of how good and positive it HAS to feel for those fortunate and very strong willed humans to talk about this addiction to Fent and opiates in the past tense, I can only dream or slightly recall how that feeling of having back control of your life must feel, I have forgotten what it used to feel like being my old sober weed smoking self, to the peeps out there and in the comments if you are included in on that short list of humans to be able to break free from the grasp of opiate addiction, please know that there are random ass addicts walking this same planet that u do who view and look up to your success stories as a glimmer of hope, and I appreciate you, because it lets me know I do have a chance
You have to be careful with subs. If you take it to soon after the last time you did an opiate you will be stricken with precipitated withdrawls which is worse than actual withdrawals
What’s the difference and how is it worse?
@@honkhonk5181 To answer your question and give a little of my own personal insight, Precipitated Withdraws are basically just withdraws from the meds you've used to combat your other withdraws. Everyone is different though which means withdraw symptoms vary from person to person. Some people get extreme withdraws and others barely get any withdraw symptoms, and then there's people like me who are right in the middle. My withdraws (Hydro and Oxy) usually gradually start beginning on day one, so around 12-24 hours after the last dose. It starts off as minor irritability, only being able to think about meds, lack of appetite, depression, etc. Normal shit. But it quickly escalates to not being able to sit still or lay still which leads to lack of sleep, constant annoying feeling in my arms and legs that makes them want to move, headaches, severe lack of energy, and severe pain of course since I already take them for pain to begin with. And again, it all depends on the person, and it also depends on what substance that person was using.
@@MFBloosh it's like you are describing my kratom withdrawals!
I can't stand the constant immense head and overall body pain, the unbearable restlessness and the bad nausea! 😖😫
The head pain is a different really ungly kind of head pain. A disgusting pressure in my head like someone presses his finger against my brain and presses my whole soul into the ground. And yes the restlessness is VERY very annoying! I could not sleep for more then 3 hours a night and when I woke up I felt like I was hit by a truck+ the bad nausea 😖🤢😪
It drove me crazy... I don't want to know how helish strong opioids must be if Kratom withdrawals can be that brutal! 😳
I am still addicted to it.
@@honkhonk5181 it pushes all of the opiates out so you go into immediate fullblown withdrawal and you can't do anything about it. With being just dopesick if the withdrawal is to much you can take dope or what have you and the sickness is gone.
@@honkhonk5181 Precipitated withdrawal is when you very suddenly go onto withdrawals.. (It's kinda similar to how labor begins when iv pitocin is given.... sudden, fast and hard!). It usually happens when narcan/naloxone is given. Narcan has a very strong affinity for the opiate/opiod receptors in the brain, it removes the opiods and sticks to the receptors. All of which is to say, it's a miserable experience.
An injection of bupe was the best thing for me, when I was able to switch over from methadone, I felt 0 withdrawal after 3 injections, I thought I would never be free, but I live in Australia and sublocade, the injection I got is subsidized, 30 dollars a month.
how funny I was just about to comment on one of ur vids about how psil might b able to help addiction, like you read my mind
Wislt ive been sober 2 years i still check this channel
Great video
Ibogaine got me clean
I like the content and I do think you are being genuine on wanting to help people. Didn't you have a big ordeal with "Kratom" addiction yourself right here on the channel? I currently am in a Methadone Clinic myself and have been for years. However, not really something I want to keep doing forever. Can not say that I have ever tried Kratom....
I went cold turkey from 4 years of heroin 3grams a day. went through hell and beyond but now I'm clean for over 950 days straight. withdrawal was so intense that I couldn't sleep AT ALL for 21 days vomited and shat all over the place and so on, but I chose this way because I thought if I get through this, I'll know what is awaiting me, if I ever start again
Wow! Godbless you brotha! Only the strongest survive ❤️❤️✝️✝️
@@johnnylego807 thanks, still clean since 11. october 2020
Been on methadone over 7 years now, its been a lifesaver. Its not for everyone, and takes time in the beginning to get to a stable dose, but it sure beats chasing down the dope man several times a day, among other things...
Stop taking it. Tapper down and switch to Suboxone(buprenorphine) . You will never straighten your life on Methadone..
Exactly, it's a start in the right direction back to freedom of the street life and dangers facing you everyday. Staying off is easy when you get stable dose and the clinic can do a blind taper if you want also.
Yep, yep, yep. You nailed it.
Lost my mom to Fentanyl when I was 16. Super sad it's becoming more and more common
I've noticed that wormwood really helps with craving for some reason.
That's what absinthe is made from, so it def has . . . some kind of properties.
@@nancymcmonarch yeah true but you can just get extract of it at a health food store. It's really good for anxiety too.
@@alexjohnson9798 Hey, it's GREAT that it keeps your cravings away for less desirable stuff! I actually tried wormwood tea once, so long ago that I can't even remember why. What I mainly remember is the nasty taste; doubt I even made it through a whole cup of the stuff. But again, if it works well for YOU, that's what matters. ❤
Great video as always! I hope it will help save someones live.
Btw, can you make a video about Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD)?
He already has
@@Stephen85 thanks
I needed this video right now. Being someone who used Suboxone for the past 8 years, it sucks. You're better off doing it another way. I've weened off to the tiniest little piece of sub and I still feel the same withdrawals.
Hi Adam Im glad you've made a video on this, I've started taking opiates and I don't want it to get worst or to a point it's deadly to me.
It will get worse. Please get off them for your safety friend.
It depends on what you're taking... Mind sharing with us what you've been on? Is it something baby like hydros? Something a little more middling like Oxy? Or is it Fent/Heroin? Also, if you're being prescribed the shit, it's because you probably need it because most doctors wont prescribe this stuff to people who don't need it, especially after the laws changed a few years back. If that's the case, take what you're taking AS PRESCRIBED! Please! Problems arise when you go from the set, prescribed daily amount, to taking more than what you should. Then since you've been taking more, your meds run out and guess what, you got withdraws because you've been taking too much and you're out. Just be careful man.
Even taking opiates 'as prescribed' is dangerous, and will likely lead to at least a hard habit to break, if not all-out addiction.
Not trying to cause fear but it's something you should know before you even begin.
If you have ANY alternative for your pain, please try that first.
Baaaaaa. Play safe, go easy
Over the course of a few years I went from occasionally taking 60-90ish mg of codeine once or twice a week to injecting £30 worth of smack every day (sourced by begging on the streets) just to be able to function.
It sneaks up on you bro, you don't realise you're fucked until you're already too deep. Just be careful dude
You mentioned a while ago that you seemed to be soft-throttled on here. You popped up on my homepage now at least (3 hours after your video was posted). Fingers crossed!
I saw a interview from a guy that runs a Kratom business. This is a quote concerning the “red,green,white” etc shit. He said “it’s for marketing “ meaning they do NOT have different effects
I was addicted to tramadol, the withdrawals from that were not as severe, but I could only imagine if I got on one of those, decriminalize addiction
I was hooked on opiates from 2008 until I forced myself into an inpatient rehab back in 2018.
It started with a simple hydrocodone script and ended with me doing anything I could to procure the money to buy fentanyl.
I'm extremely blessed to even still be here and it's because I forced myself to go
After I got out I relapsed on oxy but I killed it off permanently with LsD and kratom and haven't gone back since.
Congratulations on staying clean!!!
I'm digging the laptop case design
Awesome video man. Fentanyl epidemic is out of control man. I’ve been clean 10 years now. I was using mostly Opana which is oxymorphone which is even stronger than oxy. But i took all kinds of opiates. Mostly snorted but also shot up some when i had to. I’m still on subutex. And i don’t know when I’ll ever get off it. But it’s better than being hooked on real opiates or dead. If i can get “clean” literally anyone can.
The thing a lot of people don't know about kratom is that the time of year it's harvested makes the biggest difference in potency. Kratom harvested in the fall/winter months is stronger than kratom harvested in spring/summer. And anecdotally I've noticed this too.
Yes, very true. And also the process its dried. Indoor climate controlled no uv ray dried kratom is much more potent than kratom dried outside in the sun. The sun & heat breaks down the alkaloids. Especially relating to the 70h. The difference of the effect is very noticeable. If u like your kratom potent & never tried no uv dried then if youd like to see the diff then can try for yourself. Not recommending cause some people like it mild & not so potent. Most vendors that do this process does charge more so itll be more costly. The 1st time l tried this drying process l was very impressed w the diff in potency. Big diff. As in got the same effect in per say 3g vs 10g of regular sun dried. I like it cause dont have to consume as much powder for same desired effect
My mother died in 2013 from overdose on diladud and Xanax, while I was passed out,she nodded off and died, I'll never forgive myself for that dreadful, mortifying day 😢😢😢
You should, it wasn't your fault. She was a grown woman man. You were her kid.
i lost my son at 20 weeks pregnant and was presented oxys in 2021 and been on the “dirty 30’s” ever since. been waiting to get into rehab because my addiction is just too expensive and i’ve lost literally all motivation in life. i miss the old me and i know i wont get that person back but i want something different then this life im living im so depressed and literally feel like im at rock bottom. the detox is just the hardest part for me i feel soooo sick.. i come from a family of addicts. it’s so hard but not impossible i just wish i never took that prescription when i lost my son… i fell in love with the numbness it made me feel bc i didn’t want to feel the pain and emptiness from not having my son. i hate fentanyl.
i never knew i was taking fentynal at first. i thought i was buying 30’s bc i couldn’t find the 10s and now here we are…
As someone who use to use fent powder I switched to pressed 30s then had more control of how much I was doing then swap to oxy or subs
Wow first viewer love your videos brother
RED is the relaxing one for sure, I use red borneo, its very strong, puts me to sleep sometimes.
Some of us need pain killers and take them as prescribed. Fentanyl and Heroin though? That's a whole other level of fucked up. Can't even imagine. A doctor prescribing someone Oxy who's never had a pain killer before is insane... So having a good doctor helps. One that will give you a chance with something small, like 5mg Hydros.... And if you prove you can take them responsibly and if you really do have chronic issues which can't really be helped, then that doctor will and should keep prescribing them. One red flag though and you're done, which is how it should be. But there in-lies another problem, taking a patient off a substance they've become addicted to. That's how a lot of Fent and Heroin addicts are birthed. It's a slippery slope indeed. Just don't trust anything off the street or from a seller you don't really know. If you have one person you've been going to for years and years without any problems and they treat you more like a patient than a custy, you're lucky. A lot of stupid dealers will cut their shit which literally kills off their client base, so again, unless you know them, don't buy shit from them. My point is, be smart. You never know how something can affect you, and you definitely don't know what's in something unless it comes from a pharmacy.
It's amazing how kratom works for many people, but if kratom doesn't work well enough to kick, I would suggest taking suboxone for the first two weeks, tapering down, and then switching to kratom. I wish I would have tried vivitrol before I went to a methadone clinic. I switched from methadone to suboxone, then found out you can't take vivitrol and subs together. Vivitrol is NOT addictive, that's the best thing about it! You can get vivitrol or suboxone from a regular doctor. Thanks for the awesome video!!
I’m documenting my methadone detox and now about 2 years clean. 160mgs a day and a 180• difference! I’m able to feel…life again! If I can…anyone can! Stay strong y’all. 💪💪✌️✌️❤️
Hey, I know that Ibogain isn’t a very known way, and is without a doubt not without risks. But this is a thing which for many people is like a magic cure for a opioid addiction.
But I can only recommend it after a extensive amount of research.
(It also helps against alcohol cravings)
The important part after it is, to change your surroundings, as these are the thing which kick you back to your old habits most of the times.
EDIT: Oh and I forgot, the best aspect about Ibogain is, that it is almost impossible to get addicted to it, as it is known to be a very unpleasant psychedelic.
Fentanyl was very uncommon when I was growing up, and I thought black tar was bad, man.. all Ill say is, methadone and buprenorphine WILL work if you let them, but after being on them for years youll become miserable, this is where "the taper" comes in. I still go to raves Im not 100% sober Ill say that now, however its amazing how some substances do make life completely unmanagable. If youre prescribed narcotics, please take them as prescribed.. they will work and you dont want a tolerance anyway. Maintenence saves lives, fk the stigma and just live.
I hope everyone that does this can get off it and if you don’t do it, don’t
Fun Fact: In Australia unwashed Papaver Somniferum Poppy Seed is available in most Grocery stores
Yuck I could taste the poppy burps, reading this sentence 😂😂
Aussies sure love the Cocaine.
you should see if you can address 'Zines in a future video (nitazine, xylazine etc). They're pretty much in most of the east coast US supply at this point so even opioid-subbed tapering won't work and it causes lesions and nightmarish shit. Has people begging for the old fentanyl, if you can believe that.
I was addicted to heroin and meth and methadone for over 15 years and have been clean for many years, but when I started to dabble with shrooms is when I got into the best state of mind I've ever been in my life
There's an entire culture of online people who just walk around and film people on drugs to shame them rather than understand or come up with solutions. I understand, I've lost friends to addiction, everyone has, but man these are human beings. There are many thing that lead to this.
The people living on the street are only 1/20th of the opioid users. Normal people like taking some opiates and laying on their comfy couch by the fireplace with a blanket. Not shooting up in the middle of the night next to a dumpster and a rat with a bunch of unsanitary, insane people. The issue for the people on the street is that they were abused growing up usually, even extremely physically abused from their parents or guardians. I talked to a guy who got off the street who said his first memory was when he was 4, his Mom kicked him in the head and he got a fractured skull from it, so by 13 he was already on the street.
“Am I saying that right?” You know you are, Adam. 😂 You aren’t fooling me with that
That’s interesting math helps the fentanyl withdrawal, I’ve heard that from users before. I wonder if it’s kind of like how phenylalanine helps dope-sickness by raising baseline dopamine
The opiod crisis is not necessarily world wide. In the Netherlands where i live we have some addiction to oxycodone, but very little. Fentanyl and heroin use is very low, and almost nobody changes from oxycodon to fentanyl or heroin. We have state sponsored addiction programs helping these patients. Because almost no one changes to heroin or fentanyl, we have few to none OD’s on opiods. The last i saw as an ED physician was 1 year ago and it was a wife eating all her husbands oxy because they were in a fight, not because of the addiction.
All our heroin addicts are getting older, and those that cant quit can get legal free heroin at posts throughout the country. Rehab is almost free. Still some people stay addicted, but our harm reduction is extremely successful. There is a lot the US can do to further reduce harm
'He needs more blankets and he needs less blankets'.... Lol exactly it!
I fell into this after my 2 back surgeries. Was taking morphine after 5 years then went to methadone. Was at 160mg methadone for years. Took me 3+ years to taper off methadone with the last few months using Kratom. Withdrawals are horrible, you feel like your crawling out of your skin.
i came to my hometown for a week and witnessed a dead body down the street and an overdose happened a couple days before with a homeless guy i called 911 for twice they took their time getting there didn't have their sirens on didn't even give a damn i was a month off it and did it and same thing happened to me and there's a homeless guy who goes around on a bike with narcan they look out for each other out here he passed by me that night and that man before the cops decided to show up late as fuck, the body i saw was a younger kid it made me sad to see some stuff every time I went out into my old street , I'm leaving in a few days it's too much
its insane you made this today and I appreciate you for that
I've had 4 strong ods in my last 3 years in fent, it was the very first opiate I ever tried
Another tip when you get to a low taper , you can also skip a day. Then next week skip day and a half etc.
Been off heroin for 4 years now and was hardcore strungout for a good 10 years every time i tripped it would help me with my addiction itd show me things about healing and how to let go and forgive, thank god for those experience's or quite possible i would not b here
I started out much like you, having wonderful psychedelic adventures around Europe & The America's. Until I came to Vancouver in the early 90s when herion was chic, cheap and pure. Thankfully I found a way to manage it just as Fentanal came to the Island and have been stable for over 5 years but I'm still hooked on pharmaceuticals, I take Kadian every day. But it works for me and at my age, 53, I figure I will always be on this, it's better than methadone by far and it keeps me from relapsing which might well be a death sentence. ❤ Thanks for what you do but please, please, please take care of yourself and your relationships. Life is short no matter how long you live.
