0:00 try to clean it up ████ core and not be corrupt and like profit off of it that might be the most effective method quickly you're just like literally every point that you just made is impossible impossible just just say it here's some uh classic irony there's a man who opened up a store to sell heroin and cocaine right in Vancouver he was trying to give people access to clean drugs because it's legal there you could sell it over there no oh the day after he opened he got arrested this guy's dumb huh but he was trying to his his intentions were to give people access to clean drugs to help them kind of get off and

0:50 stuff like that and challenge Canadian drug laws because you know there's a lot of uh drugs that are like especially in Vancouver there's an area where a lot of drugs are ████ um mixed with like Fentanyl and like other things like that yeah so like he's trying to prevent people oding and stuff like that but in obviously a stroke of irony he actually just died of an overdose as well oh ████ man you're not supposed to get high off your own Supply man he dumb she's dumb he makes a lot of bad decisions he was the man who opened the first store in Canada openly selling tested heroin cocaine and MDMA oh because he was doing all the testing yeah that's why he was yeah personally through his own body he's all like it's like a chef taking the spoon the daddies was really good ████ yo this one's pure this one's pure yeah dude uh and he had a bad batch he ended up dying uh off of a fentanyl overdose oh my God what the ████ no he

1:41 didn't test his own ████ I thought the whole point is that he was making it so it doesn't have family he was closed down you know what I mean because like he tried to open up the scene but then he was closed down and then he relapsed into his own you know prior addictions and stuff like that and ended up getting a bad batch of something which is damn the irony to like what he was attempting to do do you guys believe in that solution which one you know the solution that California does that a lot too it's like oh yeah there's a bunch of people that are doing drugs the way to help them is to provide them with the tools to do it cleanly right through the government I think that helps one thing like the ability to do clean drugs I think that helps that problem but I just because you know how they do like needle exchange and then they'll even like give them a place to do drugs and they'll even like yeah I used to be a big believer in it because the Scandinavian countries did that they had like these Havens or you can come in and do like almost like morphine instead of heroin so it's like pharmaceutical grade clean

2:32 needle so you don't Spread spread disease yeah disease and stuff but then to me the um defend the new fentanyl like factor is such a huge complication that I'm like scared because like when I was a kid I was like I did all these drugs and then my parents told me not to do drugs and I'm like oh if I have a kid I'll let them explore because I think they just got to get out of their system or whatever but then now if I fence and all and stuff like yeah and when they can't have enough Supply don't buy it from private sector you know how like a lot of these Grow Ups they sell weed actually to like this um like legit dispensaries and stuff so if these clean places don't have enough heroin they're gonna start looking in private sector heroin and how do you who's controlling how much fentanyl is making into there so I'm just so scared of such a lethal dose now and now they're saying there's a new one that's not even that's even

3:22 way crazier than fentanyl I don't know what drug people are on but they show all these like walk-throughs of uh skid rows in other cities and there's people that are just like like this go like that or like like they're just like this like their brains are just fried schizophrenia brother no there's like there's like schizophrenia brother there's like 15 people just ████ they're like this yeah dude and I'm like how do you hold that position so long I don't know what drug yeah gets them in these positions and they're just ████ leaning out they just need a rumble roller because it's hard it's it's a kind of like a weird thing like I think at a point you sound like such an anti-humanitarian when you have some

4:14 epidemic like drug addiction yeah and then you are trying to provide a way to keep them alive at that State yeah that's ████ so it's not you're not trying to not really get them out of it you're thinking of like well how do I perpetuate that without the diseases without the diseases yeah without the more how do we keep them from dying but not living any better than that it almost seems like a weird thing right I also just think in general too that a lot of people can't even handle weed you know like so like the more accessible that is for people I think you see people just ████ up their lives kind of by just with marijuana so imagine like a higher grade of something that's gonna take you out of your ████ body and mind like I don't think that's good for people for most people to do on a regular basis that's just my opinion so I think maybe

5:05 just less drugs might be a good idea we all had a lot of fun with drugs for sure but like you said though we didn't have like ████ fentanyl crisis where everybody was oding but our drugs are still harder than our parents generation but not not lethal fentanyl yeah I mean people did overdose but they were looking at our generation like we had crazy drugs we also did have heroin and cocaine and things like that but a lot of people didn't mess with it but ours is lethal now like when a cop goes up to a trunk and opens it if they stab a knife into the brick he passes out his partner passes out it's like a lethal dose it's insane yeah yeah I saw that video actually yeah it's it's way different that's true because then for the lethal dose back then was like you had to do a lot now it's like you don't even have to consume it someone could like have this clap fentanyl like

5:55 ████ two chalkboard erasers that's like the baby that died at the Airbnb because there was ████ yeah fentanyl tracing baby died from fentanyl overdose what yeah from just an Airbnb having traces of it on the ████ couch they put a baby down on the couch and they got a cook party the night before or something it's crazy yeah so who gets seen but then they I don't think they were able to they should have sued the cleaning lady that ████ didn't clean good so the do you believe in in uh in the fact of like I guess like fighting the drug war from what direction exactly I don't know this might sound that's tough it's so hard but I think extreme situations call for Extreme Measures right yeah but the thing is like if you don't trust the state then it's difficult but let's say

6:46 we had an honorable state which is probably never going to happen nope but if we round up all the people mandatory rehab actually ████ went after the drug lords and then try to clean it up hard ████ core and not be corrupt and like profit off of it that might be the most effective method quickly you're just like literally every point that you just made is impossible impossible just just say it just say it just saying if we had yeah maybe a government that was a little bit authoritarian when it came to trying to help Society but then they pulled back their power once it's solved and flying unicorns I know man you know it's you know what's kind of sad too is I think and of course like the majority of the

7:36 world would hate me for saying this I think like we have to be honest about what the comeback rate is for certain things I agree true because I think like once you're dumping diarrhea into someone's head I don't think you're gonna come back and be upsetting bro you got to get put down I gotta get put down I think there's a point where that's the upsetting thing I think you're so ████ societally that like I don't think you're coming out of that bro and I also think there needs to be acceptance of reality so like let's say you're a golden retriever breeder or whatever you know out of like every eight or every litter there's like one that has like I don't know a deformity or whatever right and that's just part of it so even like when you're like let's say when you own a restaurant you know this much amount of milk is gonna spoil like it's just part of yeah part of it so in society we want a hundred percent of humans to be functional whatever yeah but maybe statistically

8:27 and real realistically 10 are always going to be like homeless or cuckoo or whatever then let's I think it's it's sad to say but maybe that should be okay and then as long as we keep it close to 10 and then once we get there that's we achieved our goal versus having this like dream of let's make it zero but trying to get to zero we have all these crazy like non-applicable plans right and that's that's like when I have conversations with like my family members that disagree with me I always try to put the into perspective the example of like everybody understands what it's like to be in a group project in school and someone's ████ around and they're not helping and the attitude is always ████ that guy kill him I want to pass right you should be put down but like everyone knows the feeling of that but then I think like when it comes to the larger society suddenly we have a different

9:17 mentality of like no let's help everyone but when it was four people you were okay with three out of four making it and that guy just ████ that guy because you don't want him to take you down your whole effort right I think uh intelligent prosperous Society though should take care of their weak weakest but also they need to the weakest also needs to show accountability so for example if they're like mentally disabled to the point where they can't because they're just you know a three-year-old in their head right then we should have the social services that takes care of that if we can like because we're the richest nation in the world we should be able to afford it we can do it right but then what's ████ up about the states is that let's say you have a drug problem let's say your um you're generationally

10:07 on welfare or whatever there's no system of helping them get out of that and then it's perpetuated it's continued right there's no end to it there is none there is there's no end and there's no accountability so like there's no program of like Hey we're helping you out here but you also have to go to school or you have to do this it's just ████ hey don't worry about it the state will take care of you and I think that's what's ████ up and then there's also no resources for them like let's say they're such a huge drastic difference between a poor community in America and a well-to-do community America right the public school system is not standardized like some states are as bad as a third world country and some states are like ████ Elite as hell so that's where I think it's not standardized to the point where like the education that I'm getting growing up is

10:58 completely different from yours and I think as a nation it should probably be pretty similar so then they have a Fighting Chance of like having a decent life and I think all these things is like how do you even create that because there's other countries that can do it and the population there have a really small crime rate very low poverty all this stuff right like Scandinavian countries like when they have drug problems they have a really good rehabilitation program for criminals so I'm like how come they can achieve it but we're so bad at it I don't know yeah no nobody really cares it doesn't make money that's what it is I just feel like in this world we just gotta survive make dying illegal you die when it's your time but I feel like there's so much like people always want to do this

11:49 people always want to do that but no one's going to do it that's the I think the funniest irony is the fact that you you have let's say you have a guy who's been an ████ his whole life and he has a crazy ass criminal record he's molested people he's harassed people all the way up to that point people want to save him and then you have a guy who's like an actor and he's highly successful and then maybe he got in trouble once and he made someone uncomfortable they want him to be homeless damn man why do you ████ win what is that yeah that's the part I don't understand that is really weird how it works I love seeing people fall yeah and then they love putting resources into helping people that don't help themselves and it's like a little bit like the dichotomy that in this state because they don't have to help the guy exactly you know it's like the sentiment of yeah let's help this dude is is all good and well but if you

12:39 actually have to go to his house and help them like you know do stuff and help them clean maybe that's the thing man is like they're not the people that are making the decisions aren't living in the community with homeless people yeah so it's like I don't know have you heard of limousine liberal no so it's like you're hella balling and you're all for all these like human rights and like minority rights and whatever but you live in a nice gated white community and you have all this guilt and you're just make you're just like yeah homeless we got to do this and that and but you don't even live among the homeless so their policy ends up hurting the communities that the homeless people live in which is usually minority communities and they're like what the ████ man you guys made all these laws and ████ that's like because you have white guilt or whatever and

13:29 then now we have to deal with all the ████ policies that you created and I'm like that makes a lot of sense it's like the whole thing about they that they're like oh we don't need guns we don't need guns it goes yeah cause you live in a gated community with the armed guards protecting your gated community but in our neighborhoods we gotta protect our own homes and ████ and it's like you're making all these anti-gun laws and ████ but then now I can't own it and protect myself from the robbers down the block from me it's like Zuckerberg donating Millions to defund the police but then he has like armed security all the time yeah so I'm like that's probably what's happening too in California like you just got these different communities that are isolated and they're like oh poor homeless people we got to do something so it comes from this like good place but they don't really do the

14:19 work to understand the comedy is that you speaking about that they people would hear that and want you to be homeless and then once you're homeless they want you to have a home it's the weirdest like slingshot it doesn't make anything you could be homeless then they're like you should have a home we should help right now yeah it's like they want you to hit hit rock bottom so that you can be exalted it made it when I do have a home and I'm like doing well for myself then they're like why are you so rich yeah yeah once your home I want you homeless again exactly that's what we need to get rid of that Homeless division oh [Music]
