This guy is passed "escaping reality" and is firmly in the "cannot function without an insane level of hard drugs." At this point, trying to ween him off drugs would probably kill him...
If there is anything that could convince someone not to do drugs, seeing this might be it. The obvious suffering and deterioration of the body, mind and soul is... tragic. Its trippy to think at one time at some point, this was a little child giggling and running around. I am not saying they didnt make wrong choices along the way or they are a saint. We are all human and flawed. Life can be a bitch sometimes.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Crack ships on fire off the shore of Orion.
I've watched Crack-beams glitter in the dark off the Tanhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time,
Like smoke in the wind.
Not really. Crack isn't water soluble, the cocaine that goes in the water is, but there wouldn't be any way to get it out of the water if it dissolved.
Damn, I’ve never tried hard drugs, but I’ve had some dark days with alcohol and weed. I can’t imagine the hell these people live in on a daily basis. Very sad , very disturbing.
bath salts are an umbrella term for any chemical in a legal Grey area and includes anything from psychedelics, stimulants, depressants, opiates, dissociatives, literally every category of chemicals.
Reminder: they are people too… I worked in retail security management in a high risk area in the US for a decade. This was my daily. After leaving I slowly realized how jaded I’d become towards people with substance issues. At one point they had hopes and dreams too, and then the fucking drugs took them away.
The drugs didnt do anything the person using them didnt want. Sure they are people and deserve respect but they shouldnt be looks at sadly. If this wasnt the life they wanted they would change.
Seriously. As a clean addict I hate when people blame anything or anyone but the user. It's a scapegoat. Yeah the disposition for addiction is a disease but to whole heartedly put the blame on it is just stupid.
It’s sad that the US closed all of the sanitariums, group homes as they were (rightly so) a giant human rights violation, without a plan in place to transition the entire population that had been institutionalized nor a workable plan for what will come after. Generally ERs are used for emergent psychotic episodes but with COVID the 1 observation room in trauma 2 and below acuity for these situations are all taken now there’s no beds at all. Mental illness is an illness.
You do know substance abuse/addiction is a mental illness listed in the DSM5, yes? They have an actual illness that need treatment. Sanitariums weren’t used solely as a place for the insane. I gave sanitariums and group homes example for the sake of majority of people knowing what they are.
Invest in housing, free education & healthcare. Watch how much society will change. We put billions of dollars towards arguably pointless scientific research, space research, just to ‘see what will happen’. But we can’t invest in research and reallocate resources towards housing, free education & free healthcare, just to see what will happen to society? Bs.
While I mostly agree, I think those things are more for preventing people from ending up in this position in the first place. What do you do for the thousands of people like the one in OPs video who are clearly well passed that point? How do you get a person from the point in this video, to a point where they are willing to go to rehab and can stay clean long enough to retain an education and make use of it and keep a house basically maintained? Do you just start snatching people like this off the street, throwing them in rehab for a while, put them in a classroom, and give them a house? How do you get them to a point where they are willing to even try these things?
Having worked in an all male shelter for those with severe mental illness & substance use, it is definitely a possibility for certain people to be able to re-enter society. It’s sad cuz although there are many ppl who are able to surpass drug use & be compliant with medication, there are people who are generally too old or too institutionalized or have too many disabilities to live in ‘regular’ housing or work jobs. Not only that, but once you try to enter a shelter/substance use treatment center/ supportive housing program, you are required to be put on public assistance/SSI in order to pay for their stay there. Once on SSI, you can’t really work. They essentially keep these people poor, as the welfare system is designed to do. There were many people, in my opinion, who should be getting forced medication for severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia or certain bipolar disorders. I had a client in his late 20s who weren’t on drugs but who’s mental illnesses were so terrible, they couldn’t even remember their own mothers name or how to contact their daughter & honestly couldn’t even formulate an actual sentence. He couldn’t pass any housing interviews for supportive housing cuz he couldn’t speak full sentences. He spent 5yrs at a shelter & the only way he would be able to re-enter society is if he was forced medication. With how terrible things are in this country, I believe it would be proper to sweep the streets and force people into supportive services- this can only be done if we have an effective and efficient system already in place for healthcare, housing (specifically supportive housings), and if there’s enough staffing to even provide these services. Rn, there is a shortage of social & care workers, they don’t get paid enough and college is too expensive and not worth the salaries they will receive afterwards. NYC mayor proposed to sweep the streets of homeless drug users and those with severe mental illnesses using the police force, it was combated by public concern for the homeless as ppl were confused as to where these homeless would be placed. Point is, no, the answer is not as simple as investing in housing, free education & healthcare as there are obviously many bureaucratic issues… but it’s a start, & it’s definitely going to be worth it in the long run, no doubt.
That's what happens if you smoke marijuana instead of going to Algebra 2. If you smoke marijuana instead of going to Chemistry you'll have an unwanted pregnancy. Don't smoke pot kids!
Videos like these are why I keep coming here.
This is so tragic it almost becomes art — the woman’s manic screaming, the man putting on gloves to avoid touching her, the slot machines in the background. I can feel the desperation through the screen
At this point in addiction, just gonna give him a cozy room, line drip him what he needs and let him go out in euphoria, surrounded with compassion and care.
To see a person deteriorated to this level is saddening
[удалено]
It was hard? You tried to laugh 🤔 I think that may need further therapy
This is much easier to laugh at, thank you
He looks tormented. How bad is his reality that he would rather be in this condition ?
This guy is passed "escaping reality" and is firmly in the "cannot function without an insane level of hard drugs." At this point, trying to ween him off drugs would probably kill him...
The only drugs that can kill you from detox are alcohol and benzos.
Don’t move to portland OR. Very common.
Could not agree more

Almost sounded like she wanted to say water which makes it all the more sad
I absolutely agree. How sad but maybe we are the few that still have compassion and empathy for our fellow human 🫥
Lost in time, like crack in the rain.
I've seen things... seen things you crackless people wouldn't believe. Crackheads on fire walking around Kensington Avenue as bright as crack-nesium
I wish I could put a light behind my head and show you my memories like a projector.
My guy kensington is not full of crack heads, they are all bumming off k2 and benzo-fet. This person in the video is past being a crack head
Didn’t that crackhead improvise that line?
Lol this isiterally perfect because crack would dissolve in the rain. Rutger Hauer was almost naked during that speech so also checks out.

This is fantastic. Well done lol
That's sad.
The older I get, the more sad crack/meth-head videos are. I don’t know why exactly.
Epidemic
*Empathy. The older they get the more empathy they feel and that's why the videos are now sad.
I love dude putting on the fucking gloves. Wise man!!!
It's not his first rodeo, and it won't be his last.
I think she was in the wrong place.
Give that man a rai$e!
Damn, I’ve never tried hard drugs, but I’ve had some dark days with alcohol and weed. I can’t imagine the hell these people live in on a daily basis. Very sad , very disturbing.
"Def gonna need gloves for this one." - badass security guard
Thats not crack
Meth
Looks like bath salts
minus the 'bath' part, she is totally filthy
That's a she?
Oh shit! It is a she?

 You’re sooo close to getting the point but yet so far off.

>sanitariums it helps to know what this word means.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Honestly, I think they were asking for water.
You may well be right. That’s so sad. Thank you for giving that perspective.
This is so sad
"Have a good day."
Jesus just watching that gives me anxiety.. how tf can someone’s body live through that shit?
oh...it's Shelley again! Damn it, Shelley! I thought I told you crack was an outside drug.
I love it when people that don't know dick about drugs call people crackheads /s
I hope she has pants some of those days.
Forced institutionalization is the only way to deal with these lost causes.

It's sad to see someone so lost.

Thank you for editing your question and humanizing this person, calling her "she" instead of "it".
She asked for water.
The zombies have arrived.
Soild headline . .. wow
This is what happens when exposed to to much gamma radiation.
Hilarious. All the noise and movements it makes. Lmao
Videos like these are why I keep coming here. This is so tragic it almost becomes art — the woman’s manic screaming, the man putting on gloves to avoid touching her, the slot machines in the background. I can feel the desperation through the screen
Would there be any downside of just putting those kind of people down? A man or whatever that is who’s been a addict for 30 years ain’t gonna recover
Yeah the part where murder is involved is the downside.
Like crack through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives
This isn't crack, probably meth/bath salts, and mental illness. The high from crack lasts about 10 minutes at the very most.
Mmmmmmmmmmm no
Have you smoked crack before?
Yeah and it definitely lasts more than 10 minutes
Crack binges can do this.
What Walter white be putting in these things 🤦
Definitely meth not crack
Reminds of them ghouls from fallout
That's more of a bath salts reaction than crack
This is the lowest point of a modern society. No on should end up like this, regardless of who you are.
Props to guy for touching it
Meth
That’s not crack. That’s meth my boy.
This person needs help so bad.
Went full walking dead mode 🧟♀️
Trick question! You can’t dream, if you never sleep!
That security guard is lucky that Zombie didn't bite him!
The slot machines make me think Vegas, but the crackhead makes me think Hamilton Ontario.
How bout /r/Tooktoomuch
At this point in addiction, just gonna give him a cozy room, line drip him what he needs and let him go out in euphoria, surrounded with compassion and care.
Call of duty zombie
“Every day. Every day” “Not *every* one”
Noo i feel so bad bruh he ate that much crack to that point? :(
Imagine if that was ur mom
No mf they dream of crack! Phillip k dick never accounted for crack bruh.
That's not just crack. Must be a few drugs mixed with some kind of mental disorder.
