I was addicted to opiates for close to 15 years. I watched it go from oxy’s we got from doctors, to black tar heroin, to china white, then fentanyl, and luckily got out before the current tranq. I have been sober 6 years, but I lost the majority of my close friends to overdose. I am blessed to be alive, and have become a very dedicated Orthodox Christian. America’s youth are spiritually lost, and will continue to seek drugs until we fix the root of their problems. Lord have mercy upon the youth of our nation.

Worked in methadone clinic on the border for 4 years. From observation, this man is correct about the process of how people ended up addicted to opiates. In 4 years I watched everyone's drug screens go from positive with heroin to nothing but fentanyl. Heroin isn't even available in my community anymore. The withdrawal from fentanyl is so horrible that people can't handle it. Most people are now using to be well. Other addiction factor is trauma history. Most clients I had, experienced significant amounts of childhood trauma.

“If you live in America, there is a chance it will meet you right at your doorstep.” Here is what my story is dealing with the ramifications of our Government’s failed response. I lived in San Bernardino for 2 years before moving back to my hometown. But in the beginning I talked to my neighbor, a Chinese businessman who was here on a work trip, and needed to check up on his houses. He bought 7 houses in my neighborhood. No more than 3 months later, 7 Chinese families moved into those homes. They were dirty, left trash all over the place, and some of my other neighbors said they saw them walk outside with guns (I never saw that personally). Fast forward a year later, we have 3 swat vans, a bear-cat, at least 30 swat guys and more police. All of them were wearing gas masks and were breaking open every single window in the 7 houses. The swat guys dragged out hundreds of weed, and other drugs from each house with no trace of the “family” living there. The swat guys were breaking every window, door, and wearing gas masks because the “families” were using the gas main to quicken the grow time (idk if that was the case but one of the swat dudes said that) and if a match went off it could’ve exploded the entire neighborhood. We need to do something about this ASAP because if my family nearly came that close to dying, who knows what else is going to happen to others that aren’t as lucky as we were.

Well, your intro sounded great and super Motivational, and you almost got it right but…BIG BUT to shut off the water is getting the precursors that are sent from mostly China(LIKE ALL OF OUR PHARMACEUTICAL, above 90% of pharma drug from BP to chemo drugs)THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO MASSIVE EXIT OFF CHEAP CHINESE CHEMICALS USED IN ALLLLLL OF OUR PHARMACEUTICAL!!!) and some other small parts of the world that are being sent to Mexico. Were they complete the process. If it wasn’t the Mexicans, who raise their hands to become billionaires, it would’ve been any other organized crime countries. That’s why your theory of just going down there with technology and shutting it off most likely will never work because there’s always somebody who will fill the demand and supply. I understand you’re talking Leman to people who don’t really know about this issue and you’re right, I’a majority of it crosses the southern border, but it’s also coming through the northern boarder. Xylazine and all its sister chemical make ups of that class other ZINES absolutely need to be shut down ASAP. From the little research, we have these class of drugs like stated in the video above are so strong they are tranquilizing people to be incapable to move for over 24 hours. from what I heard, there is a few different compound structures in the simazine class that they have come across and from the research we have on mice shows that the drug does attach to the mule opiate receptor, but also has a extremely strong sedative effect. This is why you have started to see people standing, but bent over at the waist with their heads at the ground for hours if not days! There’s even reports in the Philly and Toronto/Vancouver area, where young, very young people who use the drug are walking around as if they have terrible scoliosis of the spine and permanently canny get their spine too straighten out along with paralyzing body parts where they inject the drug/ N eating away tones of tissue extremely fast.

This guy represents the totalitarian War on Drugs policies that have failed for over 50 years. He retired from an agency that cost the US the war in Afghanistan and countless lives demestically. He's just using images of dead civilians as propaganda. He's only concerned with attaining additional authority to violate the civil liberties and human rights of the American people. If he was concerned with protecting the American citizens and solving the US drug problem he would have spent 28 years working for the FDA regulating and supporting industries engaging in the development of effective non-lethal alternatives to the opium poppy based drugs. US companies should be supplying it's citizens with safe intoxicants instead of leaving the American consumer vulnerable to our foreign adversaries (the Chinese and the Mexican suppliers). The US companies should be providing the drugs and creating a tax base to pay for the retirements of longterm federal employees like this guy.
@nomoneyglobal7 ай бұрын
Exactly this. This guy represents the very failure he is talking about. It's been failure because there is no potential for success. The war on drugs is a fools errand. He even said the border was the most secure it's ever been during the last administration, the flow of drugs didn't decrease. The virus shut down the economy, the flow of drugs didn't decrease. A nuclear war wouldn't decrease the flow. There is no quick fix to the United State's drug problem. It would require a multi generational multi faceted societal and government shift and it would start and end at home, it wouldn't require anything abroad and focusing on that aspect is why we're here.
