Compelling video I have to say.
But my attention span was reached at the Cocaine part i.e. need to watch the video again to get the real meaning!


Ironic it comes up this very day when I read who lost their shit over this program and why it caved huh! Yeah. I'm on a mission now!

The one thing that came to my mind though: would I ever have walked away from Cocaine (and in my case alcohol was just part and parcel of the party) had I always had access to cheap (or free) pure Cocaine (and in particular freebase)? There's the conundrum with this. And ironically: after watching this video I get it insofar as opioids are concerned (due to physical dependence). But I can tell you that the very last thing on my mind while Coked up and a bit tipsy (putting it mildly) was going to work or something like that. That's just my observation and thought process on this issue.
And of course: knee jerk reaction while watching initially was to wonder what happened to all of these success stories in the video (given that we're talking 1990s and it was uploaded in 2016 seems like). Answered on the link below (in case somebody misses it i.e. the link is in one of the comments):
