  1.  @mattsmokes2505  Being sober from opioids and benzos for fourteen months is a huge accomplishment since most people can't tolerate the detox, suicidal thoughts, and withdrawals outside of a hospital. It's a lifelong process, but congratulations on making it this long and continuing to survive. America and Canada have already lost an entire generation to drug-related suicides, fentanyl overdoses, counterfeit drugs, and mixed-drug toxicity. There are people who have lost hope, given up, and are still self-medicating because they don't hear enough stories like yours, and don't know recovery is possible.

  2. I'm not supportive of any of Russia's archaic measures to combat drugs, but even with harm-reduction measures and full legalization, no country has ever won a war against opioid addiction. It's one of the few addictions that lasts for life and the user will knowingly risk death rather than going through withdrawals. The US has access to Methadone, Suboxone, Kratom, pharmaceutical opioids, and Narcan (overdose reversal), and despite that, we still lost over 70,000 people to opioids (mostly fentanyl) in 2020 and 100,000 to overdoses from all drugs. Countries like Russia and the Philippines are openly sacrificing a generation lost to opioid addiction in order to protect the youth from becoming addicts themselves. The US and Canada are not willing to admit they're doing the same. The addicts definitely need compassion and access to treatment, but pretending there's a magic bullet is disingenuous.

  3. I'm curious about how she could have survived 19 years without taking HIV/AIDS drugs. It's nearly 100% fatal without treatment.

  4. And so do they. A lot of them were taking their medicine as prescribed and now are addicted.

  5.  @lewisricekrispy2  That's a good point that often gets forgotten. During 9/11, I thought the same regarding staging a rescue operation from the top of the Twin Towers.

  6. Magic Johnson is on that same treatment. He wouldn't still be alive but for the medications.

  7. LMAO 🤣😆🤣. Best comment!

  8. How do you have a "war on drugs" without tax money?

  9. There is kratom in most states.

  10. They have to get off opioids and go through withdrawals first.

  11. That would end the human race.

  12.  @stantorren4400  What about the male reproductive fluid?

  13. Go pass a law saying that. When did it become criminal to acknowledge race?

  14.  @Az75499  Replace "CRIMINAL" with "WRONG." The conversations about race/ethnicity are coming from individuals and not the government. How can you petition the government or seek redress from another citizen, if you've silenced protected speech? The Kremlin doesn't want to hear Russian citizens protesting, or the international and complaining about the war, so they've ended all debates on "war." War doesn't exist in Russia or Ukraine. It's only a "special military operation." They've solved the war problem by eliminating it from the media vocabulary.

  15. Yes.

  16. Which one, the gay conservative on the top left?

  17. Should they be at the Trump rally wearing he mandatory "Blacks for Trump" uniform, or support the only party that need the Black vote to win? This isn't part of the GOP or Maga base, so I'm not sure why you think adults can't select their own candidates.

  18. They hate it because it's a lazy response. That's like people who blame religion as the cause of all wars rather than economics.

  19. The GOP doesn't need the Black vote to win and for nearly a century, it hasn't tried to get the Black vote. Southern Whites vote as a monolith, too. Based on history, the two demographics with stay in opposing political parties. The Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) are now Republican and supporters of Trump.

  20. President is too. Get that heart checked out.

  21. You're thinking of the wasting from the end-stage of the disease. That's just one of the symptoms, but everybody doesn't get it.

  22. That's what the addicts tell them so they won't cut the supply.

  23.  @singhyuvraj122  Trump lost because of his own incompetence and style of politics. If you're not American, do try to interfere in our politics by installing a fascist con man who clearly was popular enough to win more votes than Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden.

  24. Excellent post. The unfortunate part is that the generation who saw how fascism left German in ruins are too few in numbers now. The country is already the strongest and richest European power and essentially control the European Union, so I don't get the anger.

  25.  @WeylandLabs  The two companies? Are you talking about the vaccine manufacturers? Germany and the EU isn't controversial. They have the most seats in Parliament and largest economy. They're the de facto EU leaders.

  26.  @WeylandLabs  Those are American. I just don't get the reference because this video was about far-right in Germany. The fact that the US has the best medicine and ability to quickly recover from the pandemic is no surprise. There are vaccines made by Russia and China. I wouldn't take them, but there are more drugs than just the US made ones. The US spent the most on developing them and had the highest number of cases. Were you thinking that by calling Germany the most powerful country in Europe I was claiming that Germany and the EU were as powerful and influential as the US?

  28. Mostly because they're white, but it's also more people addicted and dying now.
