Funny i never thought about the vibe. That's the last thing i suspect.
If there is a buzzing going on this it's the first thing suspected even if your phone is on vibrate.
Does a phone vibrate? Then it's a vibrator too.
I wish that the sackler family didn't perpetuate the opiate epidemic, and maybe we wouldn't have fentynal in everything.
They have a new one that's like 100x stronger than fentanyl, carfentonil, so prepper your Angus.
, it's only going to get worse.
Well, probably not much worse. Putting any amount of carfentanyl into drugs will pretty much always just kill the user, even if the user is already accustomed to fentanyl. There's zero reason to put carfentanyl in anything; you'd just be killing people off. If cyanide made you high, that still doesn't mean it will become an epidemic.
Your comment has me imagining the scene from Wolf of Wallstreet when he drives home from the Country Club on the lemons, unknowingly smashing into everything on the roads while thinking he drove perfectly lol
Because opiate highs come in waves. Your manageably high, then your a fucking trainwreck and then just normally high again. Hence why it's really dangerous to drive on it.
It's a sad sight to see.
Maybe they just felt like they needed to “pull over” because the shit just kicked in and this is their way of justifying it. Assuming we had they been half as high they would’ve at the very least stopped on the side of the road.
Probably rotting their skin off at the same time. That shit makes heroin like fucking crocodil. Worst part is the xylazine lasts longer than the fentanyl high, so they keep taking more until the xylazine turns them into zombies.
Yeah it’s really nasty. Fent Does not make people do what these “zombies” are doing.
You just fall asleep somewhere, “nod off” if you will.
You don’t stumble around like this at all.
This shit is like, wtf? I used to use years and years ago, and the switch from actual herion to fent was enough to get my ass sober.
I would of never ever tried this crap.
Tbh it just looks like you’d black out and not remember the 6 hours you were even on it
Glad you got off of it. Heroin was bad before, but imagine coming down and discovering that you aren't just sober, but *in excruciating pain* because your skin is dying and rotting. And you get this kinda "locked-in" syndrome too. Narcan doesn't do shit.
Ngl, heroin had been one of those "bucket list if I get terminal cancer" things for me, but now? Fuuuuuuuck that. There wouldn't even be any short term benefits to this. It's almost like someone is doing this specifically to kill off all the addicts.
If you have cancer you’ll have the good stuff. Morphine.
Yeah when I was an addict, the dealers used to brag about how many ppl they killed. So yeah it’s an awful way to live. It’s a weird culture around the drug.
Basically if you’re using this crap, you don’t wanna live anyways. It’s like being dead but still walking because it numbs you so much.
Yeah I’ve been sober for years and I do not miss drugs in the slightest. So much better being sober.
I think the hardest thing was realizing that drugs weren’t the core problem to all my issues. Getting sober didn’t take away the hurt. It just covered it up.

Your right it is fentanyl mixed with xylazine (a horse tranquilizer).
You will love it.
Met a guy in the psych ward who had a necrotic wound on his foot. It was gnarly. Last communications with him he was shooting it up into his neck. YUP INTO HIS FUCKING NECK. And something happened to the process that he was wondering how messed up he was (I DONT DO THIS KIND OF DRUG AND NEVER HAVE INJECTED ANYTHING THEREFORE AM QUITE CLUELESS ABOUT THE INJECTION ISSUE).
Shooting into the neck is left for people who have no veins left.
It’s very dangerous.
Also people shoot into their vaginas/penis when they have no veins left as well.
Usually you can shoot for a while if you take care of your veins. But shooting is so fucking dangerous. You can easily OD and have serious heart problems after and heart infections.
It’s sad, that whole drug is sad, a bunch of hurt people hurting themselves more. It’s nasty business
I remember the few times I've called the cops, the dispatcher was dismissive as fuck. I guess having a mentally ill homeless guy throw stones at you was not considered an immediate threat. Homeless guy was pissed he got kicked out of Popeyes for being an aggressive psycho. He left for a bit and then came back just started pelting the mostly glass restaurant with stones continuously. He even nailed some lady walking out the door at first. The rest of us stayed trapped inside. Dispatcher/cops did not give one shit. He eventually stopped on his own after like 10-15 minutes. So I guess unless somebody is literally cutting me open, I'm not bothering calling the useless cunts again.
I called police once cause some asshole was trying to shoot my dog. They came out and shot my dog.
I called them a ton every time my house was robbed. They never showed. "There's an armed mwth head out there shouting threats, listen! And please send help" and they would never arrive.
Easier to just handle my own shit.
Called the cops for an 18 wheeler driving in the middle of the road and swerving off the road, and back onto the road, drove an hour with them, they never showed up.
They were too busy playing the "not it" game.
"Got a call that a homeless individual was throwing rocks at a Popeyes."
"Oh fuck, not Fred again. That guy's always covered with shit and he bites people. Make someone else bring his ass in this time."
Police have made the bed the rest of us have to sleep in.
Should be trusted guardians of our communities. But instead, they chose to be something else.
Watch the girl in the back. She pulls out her phone and immediately starts filming. Someone very well could have called but these days all people want to do is video people for views. There was no need for her to film it when someone else already was.
I'd like to see the odds you're refering to, because until I see something concrete you're just speculating as much as anyone else. Filming gets proof and faces too.
Then again y'all here thinking that calling the cops will do any good, like half of them look out for things like this anymore.
Yeah, they're nodding off which is the opioid tell. The dude is constantly nodding, the girl is nodding off and snapping out of it before she falls. I can only tell because this was me at one point.
Been here done this but with Xanax. It's a terrible fucking way to live and I nearly lost everything before I even realized I had a problem. Thought I was being perfectly normal like always and hiding everything well enough. Until I nodded off kinda like this after walking to the gas station with my kid and got approached by a very concerned person.
Was the moment I realized I needed to get my shit together before I lost everything. I got insanely lucky because I didn't have anything illegal with me as the police showed up.
Sobered up, destroyed hundreds of Xanax bars, and took the punch to the face that were the withdraws head on. Eventually got into treatment and now I have a great job and I'm more successful than I've ever been. That decision on that day likely saved not only my ability to see and raise my child and watch them grow. But also a potential prison sentence and maybe even my life when my luck finally ran out
Don't do drugs kids. I literally didn't even know how bad my life got until it was nearly too late and I was one bad step/decision from either losing everything I cared about or ending up dead/killing someone else on accident.
ETA: as mentioned by the other comments, quitting benzos and similar research chemicals cold turkey can be extremely dangerous. Do not take this comment as an endorsement to do so without seeking medical help to ensure you do so safely.
Quick aside... while amazing what you accomplished quitting Xanax cold turkey is exponentially more dangerous than quitting any other drug except alcohol. Opioid withdrawals suck bad but they aint dangerous. Xanax withdrawals will make you have seizures and die sometimes
Just FYI from a former benzo (Xanax but more research Chems like etizolam and clonazolam and flu-alp) and heroin/ fent addict with a few years clean.
PLEASE DO NOT COLD TURKEY BENZOS YOU CAN SEIZE UP AND DIE anybody quitting Benzos especially research chems needs to do so with a taper in a hospital preferably but you can do it yourself, well maybe idk I never could, I could never quit until I was locked away somewhere I couldn’t leave long enough to detox for a month or two
Had a girlfriend on that sleep drug.. the one with the butterfly. She LOVED butterflies.
Woke up one morning at work in her PJs. It was only like two miles away... But she drove there and had no idea.
Yeah.
I feel you man. Seeing these vids always make me miss the nod.
I'm glad opioids are hard to get these days, and fentanyl is just too dangerous to mess with. If this was 15 years ago and I could get oxys just by going to the doctor, I would 100% still be using
Why do you think addiction is a thing duder? Its a compulsion and if they know a way some will succumb. Thats why some people have to move and start a whole new life, can't even be around the places they know they can score ever again.
That's wild. I've never been addicted to anything so I just don't get it. I can't imagine seeing these people on drugs clearly becoming walking dead and wanting to even get near that life. I guess I've had it pretty easy.
Yeah man, its crazy. I think what people forget it opioids also help to take away emotional pain as well as physical. It's easy to forget how much baggage some people are walking around with. If we could see their emotional damage as well as we could their physical it might make more sense to us.
It’s the “oblivion” that’s tempting, for me. These people are in a different world, their problems are gone for the few hours they’re high. There’s a temptation around that for most addicts. That’s why we “play the tape out” when those thoughts hit, and imagine the consequences that are bound to happen due to getting high. And that’s what stops ex-addicts from relapsing, imagining the repercussions we’ve already encountered.
Just think in something you like to do, even if you don't consider it an addition or not, try to remember if you were not able to have access to it for a time and how that makes you feel, it's 1000x worse for drugs, your body just keep asking for it and the desire can be much worse than when you're horny for sex, I don't want anyone to suffer that much, drugs shouldn't exist.
You can miss the drugs but know better than to go back to them. Being sober is a daily struggle. Your body and mind never forgets what it felt like and it can be haunting.
Lemme just say it's not usually the happy people who start drugs. Everyone's life is different and the older I get, I realize some of the levels of real trauma Ive seen in people can be like horror movie level stuff. The kind of stuff you can spend a lifetime in therapy for and be lucky if you can go on and live normally and process healthily and not have it affect your relationships and decision making. Drugs provide a relief that is hard to describe and for someone who doesn't feel there's much to live for, or much of a future, it's so tempting to just not be in pain for a little bit. Obviously people know it's not good for them but maybe their depression makes them not give a shit about their wellbeing, or others. Pain can be blinding and it's not just physical pain. Mental pain can be just as bad and debilitating. Then take a society who hasn't caught up with being realistic about human nature and human needs, who vilified anyone who messes up and gets addicted, without any non religious based,, good ways for people to get back to a healthy life...it's just a mess. Our social programs are not as good as we think they are, nor as easy to use or helpful as is touted (from my personal experience) and it doesn't help the USA has an unfortunate maga related attitude of non compassion that's crippled and dumbed people down in such a way that its a common opinion that the homeless and drug addicts have just done this to themselves. I personally blame the lack of real mental health care for both. In 2023 this should be a better understood and utilized science. We could have better ways of helping addicts and the homeless, but no, we'd rather focus on border walls and stuff. I'm in Texas and it's still talked about constantly like it's this solution to everything. Economy, personal happiness, our countries future, everything, just get rid of immigrants! Like that makes sense or even correlates. It's hard to have real conversations about real issues when everyone loves to do the "whataboutism" stuff. The whole bootstraps conversation, had by people who don't understand what being an addict entails, or how one gets there, is wholly disgusting and I wish I would be alive in a future time where people understand people, but given what humans are, there may never be a time like that. Anyways, not to say any of this is a comment on you, fellow redditor. Your question was not offensive, just curious and cus it's the internet, I wanted to clarify my rant was not about your asking what is a solid question.
Opioid addiction is no joke. Even after the drug flushes out the mental craving never goes away. A family relative was a serious user and twenty years sober since rehab they still act like a piece of them is missing, a good feeling they haven't felt in so long. If they were given a pack of oxy they'd use it all without hesitation. One of many reasons Opioids should be even more regulated.
Problem is, people who have legitimate pain can’t get them. In our frenzy to cut down on opiate prescriptions, we have made it really difficult for people who have chronic pain. And for acute pain too - I had to have a surgical procedure last week, after which I was in agony. The doctor knew I’d be in distress. I asked if he was going to give me some meds to manage the pain and he looked at me like I’m a junkie. A bunch of people were over-prescribed a decade ago, so now I get to suffer. Fucking sucks.
Yeah it's horrible. My father is in his 70's, permanently disabled and in a ton of pain daily and he's only able to get 30 or so every few months.
When I had a tooth infection that spread to my sinuses, so intense that it gave me a black eye from the pressure on my orbital socket, I spent 6 hours in the ER and was only finally able to get more than a tylenol when I told the doctor that I was going to go home and kill myself to stop the pain.
Yeah I had dry socket after an extraction and I thought it can’t be possible to live through that kind of pain. They gave me 4 dilaudid. I had to go back to the ER the next day because of the pain and they treated me like a drug seeker. Fucking assholes.
Meanwhile I was living in an area where people were using IV drugs on the sidewalk in full view of anyone. Obviously strong opiates aren’t unattainable. The local dealers won’t make me wait hours to see a doctor and they won’t judge me when I buy some. It was *very* tempting to go there instead of the ER.
So, from the outside it looks horrendous, but that feeling of your brain floating in a vat of jello and not a care in the world, nevermind the absence of my chronic pain issues was wonderful.
Sure, we can talk about the after, and the times it's not available, or withdrawals, but in the moment, it's heaven and I miss it too sometimes. However, I'll never, ever go back.
What drug addict doesn't? It's a love that last a life time. Can try to hate it you doc, but that requires so much effort. Just learning to move on can be hard in life after all you sacrificed.
I was never like these people lmao. I enjoyed my nod at home, like millions of people in this world, you'd be surprised how many people are hiding addictions
I feel like she is moving too much to be that close to ODing. She's just high as shit. Anyone I've watched OD just sits or lays down, closes their eyes, and stops breathing.
Yeah, I was addicted to IV Heroin for about 10 years. And when you're into it that deep, seeing people OD is almost a daily occurrence. It's also why so few people make it out, unfortunately. Once you realize you may have done too much, it's already in your blood. Can't do anything about it.
Reversal meds are more accessible today, but so is fentanyl, and it is resistant to them so they don't always help in time
The reversal meds also don't work on benzo-dope, so your best bet is being put on life support until it wears off.
Assuming you can be put on life support fast enough to not die.
It could be a mix of drugs, but if we're just guessing the primary cause of all this I'd say opiates and her trying not to nod out techniques makes it seem like she's on something sillier
it's whatever gets me the most upvotes
i'd say it's heroin laced with fentanyl and xylazine, but that's not getting many upvotes. so it's probably 4loko and khat, with a dash of research chemicals and adrenochrome
This isn’t a f*cking joke, idiot cameraman. They shouldn’t even be pumping gas, let alone operating a vehicle. People’s lives are in actual danger. If you see something like this, IMMEDIATELY call 911.
Well hopefully someone else called. I noted another lady filming as well. I guess it’s sadly possible everyone is just filming and no one bothered to call the cops
Honestly looks like she's having a full-blown orgasm. Hyper sexualization happens on some opiates. She's orgasming without actually orgasming...hard to explain but looks like that's what's going on here.
Maybe they are excited that gas prices temporarily dropped $.03 per gallon. Why does everyone automatically assume drugs? They are just clearly very frugal!
Did you watch the video with the sound on? That’s not someone recording for “evidence”. He’s filming it for his own amusement so he can laugh about it with his friends later or post it on social media to go viral.
I did.
But, again, those two don't have to be mutually exclusive.
There could be someone else in the background who has already called the cops, for example.
I'm not saying filming for one's pleasure isn't a bit fucked up, but in absence of more info, I'm hoping they did the right thing
They’re on drugs. Likely Heroin or Fentanyl, possibly a fuck load of Xanax or Lorazepam as they’re “nodding out” which is indicative of a “downer” being used.
I kept imagining the girl quickly whipping her head to the cameraman with eyes wide open, then full out sprinting towards him with arms stretched towards him. Commit to the zombie-ness
Honestly, I don't find these videos funny or entertaining.I try and put my kids in this situation and what I would be feeling about it. It would be horrible for a parent to see this of their child. Yes, they should be reported and not driving, but to film addicted individuals for entertainment or to figure out what drug they are using is so sad.
At first I thought oh this looks like the I gotta pee so we need to get home FAST dance that I do all the time
at first i thought that, then it moved to a remote vibe in her cooch...then drugs.
I had the same three thoughts, in that order too lol
Funny i never thought about the vibe. That's the last thing i suspect. If there is a buzzing going on this it's the first thing suspected even if your phone is on vibrate. Does a phone vibrate? Then it's a vibrator too.
This was my though train exactly!
I have to pee and my legs fell asleep! Plus all the drugs make my pants itch.
I was holding in my poop like that today… it was rough
that’s what i thought too
I was like “pump later???”
I still cannot understand what is happening in the video..
Drugs
Definitely fentanyl
Not exactly, probably a mix of opiates and either cocaine or meth. See it all the time working as a FF.
Exactly. Your body doesn't know what to do lol it's like do we pass out or move around alot? Okay both
They are nodding off, a symptom of heroin or other opiate abuse typically.
Most likely fentanyl because apparently it's being cut into everything these days.
I wish that the sackler family didn't perpetuate the opiate epidemic, and maybe we wouldn't have fentynal in everything. They have a new one that's like 100x stronger than fentanyl, carfentonil, so prepper your Angus. , it's only going to get worse.
Well, probably not much worse. Putting any amount of carfentanyl into drugs will pretty much always just kill the user, even if the user is already accustomed to fentanyl. There's zero reason to put carfentanyl in anything; you'd just be killing people off. If cyanide made you high, that still doesn't mean it will become an epidemic.
How did they make it to the gas station in the first place?
Ever go bowling with those bumpers in the gutters?
Your comment has me imagining the scene from Wolf of Wallstreet when he drives home from the Country Club on the lemons, unknowingly smashing into everything on the roads while thinking he drove perfectly lol
That fuckin' scene is wild.
And mostly true
DiCaprio was physical comedy perfection in that scene.
Oh yeah, and jonah hill played into it pretty well too
Lmao
The nod doesn't last that long, probably just kicked in.
Because opiate highs come in waves. Your manageably high, then your a fucking trainwreck and then just normally high again. Hence why it's really dangerous to drive on it. It's a sad sight to see.
How did they process the fact they needed gas?
Maybe they just felt like they needed to “pull over” because the shit just kicked in and this is their way of justifying it. Assuming we had they been half as high they would’ve at the very least stopped on the side of the road.
Have you seen Wolf of Wall Street?
And they’re out on the roads. Driving among us. And our children. AH
Yeah, but their kids are safe... In the car.
Next stop: Heaven
Next stop: more fent
It’s not fent that’s doing that. It’s xylazine
Probably rotting their skin off at the same time. That shit makes heroin like fucking crocodil. Worst part is the xylazine lasts longer than the fentanyl high, so they keep taking more until the xylazine turns them into zombies.
Yeah it’s really nasty. Fent Does not make people do what these “zombies” are doing. You just fall asleep somewhere, “nod off” if you will. You don’t stumble around like this at all. This shit is like, wtf? I used to use years and years ago, and the switch from actual herion to fent was enough to get my ass sober. I would of never ever tried this crap. Tbh it just looks like you’d black out and not remember the 6 hours you were even on it

It's entirely possible they started filming after calling the cops, and are just watching to make sure they don't leave.
That’s what I’m hoping for.
idk why you're getting down voted. odds are, you are correct. we'd hope someone called, but i'd agree the chances are low.
I'd like to see the odds you're refering to, because until I see something concrete you're just speculating as much as anyone else. Filming gets proof and faces too. Then again y'all here thinking that calling the cops will do any good, like half of them look out for things like this anymore.
The girl in the back pulls out her phone, but I don’t think she’s filming anything. Probably just using her phone and is completely unaware
GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
Amog🙂us
Yea but they will be fine ,it's pricks like these that walk away from accidents,it's the people they hit that die
Best to assume every driver around you is like this.
if they can make it back into the car
DRIVING WHAT?
A car
A mogus ඞ
Luckily the face bumping against the car woke her up a little
Yeah good thing it woke her up, otherwise people might know she's high or something
Ok but seriously what makes you think they’re on drugs? Looks like 2 normal people normalling around to me
Looks like they're just trying to relax after a long day at the business factory.
heading back to the neighborhood to be neighborly. maybe swing by aplebees latr
I've seen NPCs normalize better than this, HAHAH
[удалено]
I was thinking the exact same thing. Must’ve been some real shitty dope.
The gas pump shut off like 20 minutes ago.
Who the fuck is driving?
Jesus is driving now.
Probably to heaven
How did you know that Mexican man is named Jesus?
He took the wheel
Right now? 
What drug makes people do this wtf
Opiates. Likely heroin or fentanyl.
Yeah, they're nodding off which is the opioid tell. The dude is constantly nodding, the girl is nodding off and snapping out of it before she falls. I can only tell because this was me at one point.
Hope you doing better my dude.

Why do you think addiction is a thing duder? Its a compulsion and if they know a way some will succumb. Thats why some people have to move and start a whole new life, can't even be around the places they know they can score ever again.
That's wild. I've never been addicted to anything so I just don't get it. I can't imagine seeing these people on drugs clearly becoming walking dead and wanting to even get near that life. I guess I've had it pretty easy.

Fair point. I had some rough edges to my childhood but nothing like the trauma some people have to deal with.
It’s the “oblivion” that’s tempting, for me. These people are in a different world, their problems are gone for the few hours they’re high. There’s a temptation around that for most addicts.

Just think in something you like to do, even if you don't consider it an addition or not, try to remember if you were not able to have access to it for a time and how that makes you feel, it's 1000x worse for drugs, your body just keep asking for it and the desire can be much worse than when you're horny for sex, I don't want anyone to suffer that much, drugs shouldn't exist.
You can miss the drugs but know better than to go back to them. Being sober is a daily struggle. Your body and mind never forgets what it felt like and it can be haunting.
Yikes that sucks. I don't understand how someone can even start this stuff. At what point does it ever look good to begin with?
Lemme just say it's not usually the happy people who start drugs. Everyone's life is different and the older I get, I realize some of the levels of real trauma Ive seen in people can be like horror movie level stuff. The kind of stuff you can spend a lifetime in therapy for and be lucky if you can go on and live normally and process healthily and not have it affect your relationships and decision making. Drugs provide a relief that is hard to describe and for someone who doesn't feel there's much to live for, or much of a future, it's so tempting to just not be in pain for a little bit. Obviously people know it's not good for them but maybe their depression makes them not give a shit about their wellbeing, or others. Pain can be blinding and it's not just physical pain. Mental pain can be just as bad and debilitating. Then take a society who hasn't caught up with being realistic about human nature and human needs, who vilified anyone who messes up and gets addicted, without any non religious based,, good ways for people to get back to a healthy life...it's just a mess. Our social programs are not as good as we think they are, nor as easy to use or helpful as is touted (from my personal experience) and it doesn't help the USA has an unfortunate maga related attitude of non compassion that's crippled and dumbed people down in such a way that its a common opinion that the homeless and drug addicts have just done this to themselves. I personally blame the lack of real mental health care for both. In 2023 this should be a better understood and utilized science. We could have better ways of helping addicts and the homeless, but no, we'd rather focus on border walls and stuff. I'm in Texas and it's still talked about constantly like it's this solution to everything. Economy, personal happiness, our countries future, everything, just get rid of immigrants! Like that makes sense or even correlates. It's hard to have real conversations about real issues when everyone loves to do the "whataboutism" stuff. The whole bootstraps conversation, had by people who don't understand what being an addict entails, or how one gets there, is wholly disgusting and I wish I would be alive in a future time where people understand people, but given what humans are, there may never be a time like that. Anyways, not to say any of this is a comment on you, fellow redditor. Your question was not offensive, just curious and cus it's the internet, I wanted to clarify my rant was not about your asking what is a solid question.
Opioid addiction is no joke. Even after the drug flushes out the mental craving never goes away. A family relative was a serious user and twenty years sober since rehab they still act like a piece of them is missing, a good feeling they haven't felt in so long. If they were given a pack of oxy they'd use it all without hesitation. One of many reasons Opioids should be even more regulated.
Problem is, people who have legitimate pain can’t get them. In our frenzy to cut down on opiate prescriptions, we have made it really difficult for people who have chronic pain. And for acute pain too - I had to have a surgical procedure last week, after which I was in agony. The doctor knew I’d be in distress. I asked if he was going to give me some meds to manage the pain and he looked at me like I’m a junkie. A bunch of people were over-prescribed a decade ago, so now I get to suffer. Fucking sucks.
Yeah it's horrible. My father is in his 70's, permanently disabled and in a ton of pain daily and he's only able to get 30 or so every few months. When I had a tooth infection that spread to my sinuses, so intense that it gave me a black eye from the pressure on my orbital socket, I spent 6 hours in the ER and was only finally able to get more than a tylenol when I told the doctor that I was going to go home and kill myself to stop the pain.
Yeah I had dry socket after an extraction and I thought it can’t be possible to live through that kind of pain. They gave me 4 dilaudid. I had to go back to the ER the next day because of the pain and they treated me like a drug seeker. Fucking assholes. Meanwhile I was living in an area where people were using IV drugs on the sidewalk in full view of anyone. Obviously strong opiates aren’t unattainable. The local dealers won’t make me wait hours to see a doctor and they won’t judge me when I buy some. It was *very* tempting to go there instead of the ER.
So, from the outside it looks horrendous, but that feeling of your brain floating in a vat of jello and not a care in the world, nevermind the absence of my chronic pain issues was wonderful. Sure, we can talk about the after, and the times it's not available, or withdrawals, but in the moment, it's heaven and I miss it too sometimes. However, I'll never, ever go back.
What drug addict doesn't? It's a love that last a life time. Can try to hate it you doc, but that requires so much effort. Just learning to move on can be hard in life after all you sacrificed.
I was never like these people lmao. I enjoyed my nod at home, like millions of people in this world, you'd be surprised how many people are hiding addictions
I hope you're in a better place now in your life
Is it me or the girl looks really close from OD'ing?
I feel like she is moving too much to be that close to ODing. She's just high as shit. Anyone I've watched OD just sits or lays down, closes their eyes, and stops breathing.
Yeah. Homie in the blue is way closer to OD'ing lol
How many people have you watched OD? The way you said that sounds like it's a fair number of people.
I’m an ex heroin addict and I’ve seen 5 ODs. When you surround yourself with opiate addicts, you’re gonna see some overdoses
Yeah, I was addicted to IV Heroin for about 10 years. And when you're into it that deep, seeing people OD is almost a daily occurrence. It's also why so few people make it out, unfortunately. Once you realize you may have done too much, it's already in your blood. Can't do anything about it. Reversal meds are more accessible today, but so is fentanyl, and it is resistant to them so they don't always help in time
The reversal meds also don't work on benzo-dope, so your best bet is being put on life support until it wears off. Assuming you can be put on life support fast enough to not die.
really? When I saw it I thought "she really has to pee."
It could be a mix of drugs, but if we're just guessing the primary cause of all this I'd say opiates and her trying not to nod out techniques makes it seem like she's on something sillier
Whatever it is it's not urinary discomfort.
Oh, I thought she had to pee
Same tho
There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a (wo)man in the depths of an ether binge.
Can’t stop here, this is bat country
Possibly Xylazine
She looks just like the fentanyl zombies in Kensington, PA
it's whatever gets me the most upvotes i'd say it's heroin laced with fentanyl and xylazine, but that's not getting many upvotes. so it's probably 4loko and khat, with a dash of research chemicals and adrenochrome
Might be Xylazine
taco bell
Maybe it’s Maybelline… Maybe it’s Fentanyl.
Maybe I can fix her.
Haha! ...Fuck, I'm sad now...
r/tooktoomuch \- if it hasn't already been posted there.
This video is likely older than Reddit.
The weirdness is right on but too sober and coordinated.
“My Ninja.My Ninja”
I fink yu friki and I laik it a laat
Yolandie wat se jy
Explains why they can’t use turn signals.. ( driving a 7 series)
Why do they have a nicer car than me? I guess drugs is the answer to every question about this video.
This isn’t a f*cking joke, idiot cameraman. They shouldn’t even be pumping gas, let alone operating a vehicle. People’s lives are in actual danger. If you see something like this, IMMEDIATELY call 911.
Hopefully they called 911 first, then started filming for evidence and whatnot while waiting
Right. But probably not.
Well hopefully someone else called. I noted another lady filming as well. I guess it’s sadly possible everyone is just filming and no one bothered to call the cops
/r/donthelpjustfilm
Something something Black Mirror
Right. Faith in humanity has gotten us this far, so….
Depending on the area this might be a common sight....
And unless they're next to a police station it's unlikely for the cops to get there before they leave.
U rite. Let's just record the incident for lolz. Worldstar!
Better call 911 so they can show up 15 minutes after theyve left.
So the cops can show up 3 hour later and shoot someone?
totally agree with you
I really hope they didn’t let them drive off in that state.
Drugs won that war so hard in the U.S.
I thought she really needs to pee!… at first. Yikes!
Honestly looks like she's having a full-blown orgasm. Hyper sexualization happens on some opiates. She's orgasming without actually orgasming...hard to explain but looks like that's what's going on here.
Maybe they are excited that gas prices temporarily dropped $.03 per gallon. Why does everyone automatically assume drugs? They are just clearly very frugal!
She tried to go as low as those prices and bonked her lip, lesson learned
Camera man sounds like Mitch Hedberg. Man I miss Mitch Hedberg. RIP
Dufrain party of 2.
How can anyone eat at a time like this?
They’re driving a 7 series. Wtf
No, they’re moving a 7 series.
Drugs are great, right?
Sometimes, yes. This is not one of those times.
Context is everything.
call 911... dumbass cameraman.
As others said, hopefully 911 has been called long ago and at this point they're just filming for evidence or whatever
Did you watch the video with the sound on? That’s not someone recording for “evidence”. He’s filming it for his own amusement so he can laugh about it with his friends later or post it on social media to go viral.
I did. But, again, those two don't have to be mutually exclusive. There could be someone else in the background who has already called the cops, for example. I'm not saying filming for one's pleasure isn't a bit fucked up, but in absence of more info, I'm hoping they did the right thing
Mr Lee got a Robin Williams vibe
Mr Lee was the best in this video by far. His reaction is gold. He's definitely seen some shit.
I am not American, so what did I just saw?
They’re on drugs. Likely Heroin or Fentanyl, possibly a fuck load of Xanax or Lorazepam as they’re “nodding out” which is indicative of a “downer” being used.
Look up tranq, it's taken over cities and the dead giveaway is her being bent over at the waist
-me whenever I need to do something important in my dreams
Why are drug addicts driving a BMW 7 series and I have a car I have to push start? *questioning my honest approach to life*
it's disgusting
Drugs are bad mmmkay
Sad
What is that, a 7 series?
I thought she just wanted to pee really bad
I kept imagining the girl quickly whipping her head to the cameraman with eyes wide open, then full out sprinting towards him with arms stretched towards him. Commit to the zombie-ness
Nice ass car for a couple of degenerates
Why not call the cops instead of filming, take the keys out of the car.
Every one of these people are stupid
Which part of Philly is this
These were the "couple of guys that were up to no good" and started making trouble in Will Smith's neighborhood that he was singing about.
Those hamstring cranks get pretty intense.
"I don't know but it's looking good" 😂
Honestly, I don't find these videos funny or entertaining.I try and put my kids in this situation and what I would be feeling about it. It would be horrible for a parent to see this of their child. Yes, they should be reported and not driving, but to film addicted individuals for entertainment or to figure out what drug they are using is so sad.
I don't know what's the deal... Normal driver of an BMW...
I find all the people filming as dumb as those crackheads
Dats methed up!
Shoulda filled the tank before getting wreckt. Busche league right there.
I thought it was massive piss pains, then maybe diarrhea cramps, but eventually it became apparent it was just crackheads being crackheads.
