Mia I agree with you. It’s the small things. I highly doubt that this man is familiar with the “KZbin Monetization System”. He’s a man living on Skidrow. He talks the way he talks. To the guy in the comments you do know that videos on this platform that contain this type of subject matter DONT get monetized. That’s why they have patreons and links to donate to keep the channel up and going. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

Greg reminds me SOOO MUCH OF MY moms old best friend. Wow for real. Man, my mom and gma, who are still alive today (thank God) could be on this channel. Ma had me at the edge of 15...growing up in Baltimore during the crack epidemic...then included ice in the DC area... Ive heard stories my entire life from my grandma (she was a stripper in balmore but despite her insane life raised me as her 7th child...not grand child. praise God, ) yeah, blows my mind, but no, does not surprise me. I'm going on 33 now and just am starting to call my mother "Ma" instead of her name like a barely there sister or cousin. I am so grateful for that. The chunks of time missed from binges, jail, abusive boyfriends, straight vanishing..I mean, Its always there. The best thing I ever did was be honest with her about my anger, hurt, disappointment and "hey you know I remember all that." Not only did it help me, it helped her. Now we talk everyday. She used to fear talking to me one on one...maybe she still sorta does. Anyway, Most do not get that. As I get older and we talk, she seems to get younger and smaller as she reveals how she really feels. It shouldn't take this long, but it does.

Michael 369 have you never hang out with someone who’s used psychs you litterally Juss have the wrong opinion and prospective on drug use. I’ve seen many people handle themselves fine on drugs when used in moderation. And also most people aren’t addicted to drugs so the notion that every drug is bad is clear not really smart. Drugs like psychs have a lot of mind opening and can improve your mental health there are benefits to these drugs it’s Juss when you abuse them when it turns ugly. Also you realize the natural arguement can litterally apply to herion right? like synthetic drugs like mdma can litterally be Juss as safe if you use in moderation. Be smart about this topic educate your self and learn how to stop drug use and unsafe drugs because that’s what is killing most people not ussually the drug itself

yes because it does the same thing to the brain. Raises the dopamine. The fact that it stays longer in the brain, makes them "tweak" longer but they arent chasing the high every 15 mins and its more damaging to the brain.

Meth trumps any drug .....it can get people off alcohol, heroin and crack. The consequences will be a criminal record for most. It makes you feel like you can literally change the weather. Stealing is par for the course.

Tells the story of drug and of our cities so well and honestly. The saddest part to me is the way the other dealers turned their backs on him, once he started using the product. It's the same way in 12-step programs: Once you are no longer clean, you carry the disease and YOU embody the problem for them. Humans can be so cruel to one another. All that he did was replace the drug money for the drug hard. Had some of those men in his life stood up and showed him a different way instead of judging him for being a fiend, maybe his story would have turned out differently. Just maybe.

It’s sad that he thinks that “Rick” looked out for them and their community. Really they were just looking out for themselves.. not their people, their children or their community! They polluted their community and were the demise of their people. So much so that the suffering is still going on to this day. These boys grow up without fathers so the men they look up to aka rappers, drug dealers glamorize the things that keep them in purgatory. It’s no wonder they can’t catch a break. It’s sad 😢

I have been watching these videos, but I am done. Sometimes Mark ask questions that I feel are questionable, "As a White boy from Chicago, how many mothers in South Central had a crack pipe in their drawer"; this did not have to be included into this interview... Crack was no joke and was allowed within the US by the CIA into the "Urban" neighborhoods (in support of the contra wars) ; then when Blacks got hooked on it, Regan and his crew used this to point the finger at "crackheads" as monsters and created stricter unfair laws directed at crack to imprison Blacks as felons which in turn made it impossible for them to regroup because now they have the "Felony Status. This made it almost impossible for them to receive jobs, housing, etc.. This is not the only statement that rubbed me wrongly. Though I love some of the people interviewed, I am not with some of Mark's questions and statements when it refers to people of color... BYE
