What a great interview. Your style is completely free of judgement and this young lady was a pleasure to listen to and I'm sure she is a nice person. All homeless people with substance abuse issues were once an innocent child. For many reasons addiction can effect anybody. Like she says, the only way to change things would be a legal prescription to reduce harm all around and take power away from the cartels and organised crime.

[@JoeDplummer_]

I can tell she is a good person and hope she can be helped.

@@Have_a_good_day_dude - I don't know... it's just a feeling.

[@DKilgallen]

Wishing her the best. She seems intelligent and I hate that she is on the streets.

[@junounderwood4319]

this was really good, thank you for being so nonjudgmental and constructive questions. thank you for putting her story out there

[@slimfix2311]

really enjoyable interaction. you can tell she is a really good soul, shame she is in these circumstances after 7 years on the streets. you have a good demeanour in these interviews which helps your interviewee open up freely.

[@jenlarge9036]

Not a shame, her choice.

[@digitechrp250]

Your interviewing style is great-like someone else here said nonjudgmental and with a genuine interest in learning from her. Loved the video man, hope you make more like these!

So hard to find water but drugs are so accessible..?

Its true tho in most Citys in the world

Yep. That’s America

collab soon bro

[@aaronhow2568]

Great work here Buraison. This is an important conversation to have on all sides. Well done vid!

[@edwardfigueroa1396]

Thanks for sharing and doing this work bro. People need to hear these voices. Stay safe bro

[@LimoneneDaddy]

Stay safe out there. You look like youd fall victim down there real quick. People can smell that youre not familiar with that type of lifestyle and you could be made a target. This is from someone who was down in Kensington for almost a decade, clean now.

[@longgrayline8055]

These people chose the drugs. The drugs didn’t choose them. Their choices got them where they are today.

[@cherylb5680]

We may be in the minority but that's the way I feel. You can only help those that want the help. Jmo🤷

[@sandramiles8390]

I am also in accordance with you on that point. But what came first, the chicken or the egg ( mental health then drugs or drugs then mental health) 🤷‍♀️ They weren't born this way, a gun was not held to their head, they made a conscious decision. Such a waste. I truly believe that the drugs are not making them this way, the drugs are only enhanceing an already existing problem and disfunction within the person.

[@jaydensanchez336]

No that's not true I was homeless for 4 months from febuary to may this year I got kicked out of student housing for medical Marijuana paraphanelia even though I have a medical Cannabis card it didn't save me from eviction for me it was my personal circumstances my health issues that lead to me using Marijuana and ultimately getting evicted I now have an apartment and live with a rommate but I have to split the rent because I'm poor and can only afford 585 a month that's also how much my rommate pays a month it took allot of pulling strings just to get the apartment that I am in now there's a serious issue with affordable housing

[@denabeebe1888]

You have a touch for interviewing… this was a great interview! Looking forward to more 😊

[@RedCloudBlackSky]

She is intelligent it's just that she has an addictive personality. If you have that type of personality, do not dare try one of those drugs because if it felt really good, then you're fucked, you're going to be hooked immediately. It's better to put that superpower in other things like being workaholic just to dump that extra energy. If you learn to control it and put it to your advantage, then you'll most likely be one of those successful people.

[@buraison]

She is very smart and coherent and great to speak to! I hope she finds a path where she's able to put her innate talent to work in her favor.

[@alovesodeep]

Great vid!

[@kevinperez9534]

Great video Bryson

[@yesterdayseyes]

Rich people don't want your life, and they do whatever they want with far more of their time than you do. You're not free, you are a slave to your drug, it owns you and your time more than a job ever could

[@janetbusener6634]

It's too sad, intelligent people like her get depressed, easily bored and wind up on skid row. They become addicts and get stupid. Intervention is a must on our society.

[@oldestgamer]

This is going to sound harsh, but idk, these people are really selfish and self-centered and are not even trying to get straight. I was a head back in the 70's, nothing like this stuff thank god, but weed and such. Was even homeless for 6 months, the freedom was incredible! But at the end of the day, I was always looking to better myself, no excuses, work, play, and enjoy life. These people are already checked out and are not even trying to get better or making a life, which is a shame, life has so much to offer and experience.

[@melissataylor6407]

Great interview

[@gabynarufan]

Molly I feel the same way you do. I would have way more money if I just became homeless like you. But I like to use a toilet and sleep in a warm place. It's a luxury I can't give up.

[@shizz_93]

Interesting that she self medicated with hydro codeine at 14yo with lots family issues. That changes a child’s DNA..even smoking a cigarette at young age while going through psychological problems or family problems can make giving up just cigarettes extremely hard. They are the people that are toughest to break any habit. I grew up in a beautiful good country & moved here in 2019…people here are miserable & have so many problems especially caused from money, no free healthcare, fighting for everything you have even basic rights at work. That’s the root of problems here lack of healthcare no money to pay co payments, people needing months or years of therapy but can’t afford. Dysfunctional families, dysfunctional towns, government both state & federal, systemic racism, systemic poverty etc etc. She made good points on decriminalizing drugs & integrating back into society & work. The war on drugs is the biggest failure in human history

[@royharper2003]

maybe you should move back to where you came from

[@chriscochrane2769]

Better than average - good job! Sad but true part of the world - good to get different perspectives!

Thanks brodie

[@lanabills4498]

Good work, you have a unique interview style, and I think because you are an innocent on a sharp steep learning curve, its interesting to see the way people respond to you.. I would like to see the camera focus more on the speakers face and gathered relevant footage... Obviously with individuals right to privacy high in priorities...stay humble, nake some connections, earn some trust ..most important. Awesome, Honest lady. Stay safe! Respect and best wishes. Thankyou for this.

[@alfredoberdecia5786]

There are no addicts, just people with untreated pain. The lady in this video is an example of this.

[@Shebathebigcat]

Nice thanks.

Keep going!!

She doesn't need to be answering your questions. She's need to be in rehab. Whether it's forced or voluntary. Enough enabling drug addicts.

[@mattwilliams5773]

Right on.

I hope she gets the help she deserves!

[@denabeebe1888]

She chose to answer his question… an it’s a very informative interview!

thanks j

[@shizz_93]

They changed the laws in 2016 you can’t get pain medication. Everyone I mean everyone even 90yo is drug tested, pill counts, monthly visits. She wouldn’t get help because of her addiction. The anti opiate propaganda is so bad & doctors so scared to prescribe that even cancer patients can’t get medication, people are euthanizing themselves, moving to Mexico Ecuador Spain anywhere to get qualify of life. There is no post op pain relief more than 2 days worth of pain tablets. I need multiple surgeries & can barely walk but have to save & get operations in Mexico where I will get post op care. The people that abused pain medication in past have ruined it for chronic pain patients & the DEA & CDC are playing doctor & destroying lives. Fun fact Suboxone & Experal funded & lobbied the government for the anti opiate guidelines back in 2016 to this day. Another messed up fact is in 2016 there were 15,000 prescription opiate deaths in USA, now with no prescription drugs on street only fentanyl & tranq last year 130,000 people died. Back in 2016 CDC said 30,000 fealty & later had to retract the figure & said heroin addicts were mixed in with prescription opiate deaths so only 15,000. It’s the biggest lie to the American people this “opiate crisis”. The real epidemic coincided with the anti opiate laws - illicit cartel & Chinese fentanyl & now animal tranquilizer xylazine. Almost every city in America you can’t even buy real heroin anymore it’s not profitable compared to fentanyl

[@denabeebe1888]

The real H is harder to get because the Taliban has made it illegal to grow poppy fields in Afghanistan… so in comes the fent that’s made in a cave in Mexico… now the tranq which is causing so much damage!!!!

[@denisekaiser1837]

She has much to offer!

[@jenlarge9036]

She would rather be in an apartment, and then she says she would rather be out on the streets, go figure.

[@shizz_93]

Those vapes are $10-15 for 5,000 puffs cheap af compared to cigarettes

"It's like more than fatigue, it's like a heavy feeling, fool". Umm...isn't that what fatigue is??

[@Toboldlygo721]

if he was catching feelings you could tell him you got a flu then you could stay in the tent but keep your distance. This whole meeting seems contrived to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@perrybabin8427]

Free access to drugs with no punishment (from police) for doing those drugs? Has she heard of Kensington? How is that working out? Is that the utopia that she wants?

[@zosothezephead837]

"Lithuania's cool". "Have you been there?" "No, not yet". His credibility must have taken a dive at that point.

[@buraison]

I wouldn't say so, I cut out the part with our Convo about how I met some friends from there as well as my desire to visit to see them again and some other stuff there.

[@joseesmith6348]

Molly likely has Lyme plus co infections, it causes chronic fatigue syndrome, find Dr Steven Phillips, Lyme specialist or an pillars literate doctor near you.

WTH are you saying? You make no sense.

[@Jdalio5]

Its a law that every business in the US must give free water to anyone that asks. If youre homeless and they refuse call the police on them. Its criminal to deny a thirsty person water in the summer!!!

[@Mark-gn5rw]

Men?? Just looking at her Ike a "trick" Sorry for her.. oh wait. Shes out there "Tricking"..

[@Akos843]

"sleep anywhere" = "thats cool"...what the hell??

[@buraison]

It's really cool to me how she can adapt to any environment. It's really unfortunate though that she has to sleep outside like this due to her circumstances.

[@nolimitarcade2865]

Besides sex, what else are you offering in exchange for other peoples resources? Nothing is free, everything is the result of someone else's labor. Clean-up and get employment, that's how life works. Sorry!

[@jackandlill]

I'm about to watch your interview - and I would just make a quick suggestion that perhaps you introduce yourself to the viewing audience in your opening! Just curious how to pronounce you name! ok back to the video....

[@anitahasch-bargainbooks36]

Poor child, got no sense

What does it mean when you say "I wish the girls I've razzed up" Is that Ebonics for the girl I raised up. I wish you were more clear and concise 😂👍🏻

Sorry, but they're only like 1 second.

Crack has been around for a long time!!!

[@Sad.pookie]

My opinion on this is well idea but terrible delivery. You seemed nervous which is understandable but your nerves made you come off as ignorant and more like an interrogation vs interview. Your questions come off very robotic and demanding. I hope this advice helps your channel grow

[@buraison]

Thanks. I would disagree with you about a few things such as coming off as nervous and robotic (it's just my voice, it's how I sound) and being ignorant. I agree I could've asked better questions, however considering the extemporaneous conditions, it was hard for me to discover more on the spot because of lack of preparation. Thanks for your input and I will use this criticism to improve my upcoming videos with others.

[@JF-gy7tt]

@@buraisoni think he comes off as naïve/ignorant and innocent/sheltered…. Which makes him come off less threatening.

[@kathryndomer2109]

God bless this very nice Women. It’s so sad to see her so friendly and obviously trying to take care of herself. All it takes is making a left turn rather than a right. I’ll pray for her. She touched me. I was fortunate to be strong enough to say NO. God bless her. I pray someone finds her to really help her without having to sell her Soul. 🥲
