@@BirmzisgrimeRawUncut Hi, I think that your video could use the start of a song I made. The name of the song is Horror Depts by Disco Drizzle and can be found on Spotify. I'll leave a link in the next comment as they are sometimes deleted.

[@discodrizzle5332]

Sometimes the right music and video can be as addictive as a drug, maybe not as much so as the ones that Rikki is on. If you don't use this tune, I hope that you find one or even if you don't use music, good luck, this content is among the best that I have seen in this genre. The telling part of the video is when he says that 'it' was legal for 5 years and then they pull the carpet from underneath everyone. This happens on an individual and national level, thanks to the authorities.

[@Baron_Greenback]

@@CharleneRees-g8jYep! It’s a cesspool unfortunately and the council, police force has just left it to go to rack and ruin! It used to be a great city but over the last few decades it’s just become a dump! The street crime has got to such a stage that people are scared to go out at night, it really is that bad! Some of the estates, the police won’t even go there and they have become lawless with open drug dealing, prostitution in the streets, feral gangs on e-bikes whizzing around terrifying the locals! - I am not exaggerating, it’s a flipping dump and I don’t see how it can be turned around! The council is financially bankrupt too so there’s no funding! The police are completely demoralised and don’t even bother to police some areas. It’s beyond hope and the locals are trapped in their homes whilst all around them the place disintegrates. It’s not even safe in the town centre as people are regularly robbed in broad daylight- like I say - the police barely even try to police it! It has one of the highest crime rates of any city per capita in Europe! I feel for anyone living there because it literally is one of the worst places you could possibly live and there doesn’t seem to be any plans to fix it! They’ve literally given up on Birmingham. The place is completely fucked!

There must have been about 100 different kinds of spice that came through Perth, Australia about 10 years ago. I bought a $20 packet one day purely out of curiosity and smoked a fat pipe of it before completey and utterly losing my mind. I was hallucinating so badly that at one point I thought I was riding a horse through the city. When I finally came back down to planet earth I was in the corridor of some high rise apartment block in the city and had absolutely no idea how I had got there. It was terrifying. I immediately threw the rest of it away. I was shocked at what it did to me psychologically.

[@Nosterartis]

I was a bit of a stoner at uni back in the early 2010s and a girlfriend brought some of the original JWH stuff over. We smoked one joint of it and I have never had an experience like that. I was paralyzed in bed, full on visual distortions like I was sinking into a hole in the ground, body melted away, I needed to move but just couldn't. Had an absolutely wicked headache all the next day. And that was one of the better adjusted ones, fuck knows what the later shit was like.

I see this guy every day and I’ve given him money before that’s why I clicked on the video. He’s obviously not stupid even if he’s on drugs and can’t get off them. Where I’m conflicted is he seems proud that he scammed people with the roofs etc which would have been peoples nans etc and also laughs about people being mugged. Drugs are an excuse for a lot of things but he’s smart enough to know what he’s saying. I won’t be giving this guy any money anymore.

hes ok he might need help with some things but not with the drugs he clearly is happier and wiser than most of the normal public i dont think thats a problem for him he just unfortunate and can function on stuff when he has the chance.. Some people have no family end up homeless due to no fault of their own and you automatically think their problem is drugs which sometimes its just a family death so u lose ur house, how do i know? Im talking about me. I looked like that for 2years because i had nowhere to go had to shower in swimming pools but then everything closed Ldown so i had no restaurants for toilets or anything then.. And im back to normal now wasnt easy but have got a place and never had to stop my 'hobbies/self medication" some of us would rather trust ourselves to research whats best for us rather than trust a clueless Dr with no clue about anything they give you theyr just following orders and i promise you check the NiCE procedures they dont have your best interests at heart they focus on affordability and maximum profit by switching meds to avoid generics or totally not providing certain things a private paid for Dr would be happy to.. He seems wiser than most but its a short vid who knows he seemed sound tho.. i can however attest to my own highly above average intelligence which is a lifelong gift/curse iv always had regardless of my medication on breaks or during heavy use times im still able to do anything (taking things were normal too for most of historys geniuses, you wont find a sober one because the practise has only been villanised in propagandas in the last century and chemists quacks and Drs have only been told not to test things on themselves since the 60s!) And thats because a person with 1st hand experience cant be made to hand out just anything they are told because theyl know it doesn't do what they were told to tell people it does.. Mk ultra was meant to prove with enough drugs you could stupify a whole country and just walk in take over, it had the opposite result made people smarter and even de programmed soldiers of their existing conditioning. This scared them if it de propagandas someone willing to run into gunfire for you that quik imagine the effect it could have on a population whos had much less intensive conditioning than a soldier.. This lead to them quite successfuly trying to scare everyone ever since, scare them of medicine but cleverly use a buzzword to attach the emotions to they chose to use drugs and eventually now we no longer use that word for anything positive..

I hope this guy will get clean one day, bless you Ricky very highly intelligent man

[@tomlindley2946]

Damn!! This guy talking the realest….high AF and still talking more sense than 99% of the politicians, influencers and educators on social media. His lifestyle is a result of becoming disillusioned with this f’d up society in the uk. Great video thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@andrewcooper3503]

He probably likes being where he is, seems very street wise. Hope he can get the help he needs. God bless.

[@filmingdownsouthuk]

Through all this gentleman’s addiction, he is very intelligent!it just shows that we should never judge a book by its cover! I wish this fella all the best for the future and hope he finds peace!God bless you!

Seems a good lad hopefully he finds the path of recovery! I'll be 2 years clean next week after a 30 year coke habit! There is help out there but you gotta want it ...God bless

He's talks more sense than most of these politicians

[@WMW-82]

Drugs are just pure evil, this lad seems like he'd do well for himself if he was on straight and narrow its sad to see people living like this!

[@maktiki]

No if all other thing are provided e.g security (social security, family, freedom to express thoughts ideas, exercise) then animals hardly get addicted and when they do they keep looking after themselves and others. But put them in a cage without enrichment then the mice get addicted.

[@karentonks7581]

Although we'd not wish to be in his current situation he was still profound when he notices all the wealthier people looking miserable and soulless

[@JBWRacing]

just need a bit more volume on your mic in future videos other that great production, this is a really hard hitting video to watch, winters coming up soon, i hope he's alright. an idea for future video, be cool if you could get in touch with Vernon Burgess, from skint and get a update interview with him see how he's getting on in life.

[@JBWRacing]

oh yeah, and use the pin comment, to pin other videos, etc etc :), make sure your filling all the meta data out including tags, even chapters, everything helps the video hit that bit more

[@AlanBailey-ok4cq]

This guy also blew me away,very wise, At first glance i thought he we go same old but no, very interesting indeed one the best street talk if not the best! I would love to meet this guy for reel. Im keeping this one in my list forever. THANKS MUCHLYFOR A REAL LIFE TREAT

[@lukeyduke9732]

Addiction is only ever a symptom of something else. Good luck young feller.

[@bishyeahbish3758]

You haven't experienced any real addiction problems yourself have you?! I wonder how I know that ey?! You are not correct with that statement I have to inform you that some things may be a knock on effect of addiction but addiction is absolutely not a symptom of something else or because of anything else. A real addiction is a problem all of it's own and honestly not an issue that sprouted from an underlying issue or "symptoms" as you said. I absolutely guarantee that 100% and if you don't believe me then just look into it yourself for ten minutes and you'll see for yourself and you can believe your own eyes. 🙈Wow!🙈 Best of luck to you man I'm guessing you might be needing it somehow

[@dts7824]

Great insight 💯

If this guy ever got sober and was given a chance he would be a millionaire

This man was surely failed by the system at some time in his life. With his level of intelligence he should be living an easier life. I hope he finds the right path and the strength to follow it

They push the drugs

@@benayers8622one thing I’ve learned about Asians is that they’re smart and that’s why they live comfortably also they look after each other so they have a great sense of community, I’m not Asian but massive respect to them.

@@galegrazutis964 the system that spends £20Billion on an app no one uses.

[@itsalexbruh95]

​​​@@galegrazutis964the whole reason the NHS was set up in the first place was so that there's a health service that's free at the point of access for EVERYBODY, regardless of how much the individual has paid in. What's your reasoning for believing that another human being should be denied health care, besides money I mean? Plank.
