I stuck a gun under my chin so many times afraid i would turn out like this guy.. have tried to hang my self cut wrist took over 400 pills once ended up in coma for 12 days.. have been shot twice in the head once in ass, still have bullet in brain and ass, nothing for me to stay up a month scared to go to sleep, skitz monster would get me if i did, walked around hotel parking lots with m 16s looking for who it was that kept looking in my room window out of mind because of no sleep.. clean 10yrs
I hope as many people as possible will watch this video and will either think about going into a program, or helping someone that they love get into one if they are addicted to meth. My cousin recently died from it, and it is such a tragic, wasteful ending to an otherwise beautiful teenager's life. Meth kills, but it doesn't have to.
I'm sorry but the real enemy here is prohibition. This man's story is tragic but the simple fact is that David Parnell was exposed to drugs far too early in his life. Like many young people he was immediately set on a path towards abuse and crime.
Kids are naive. If drugs (not all drugs) were regulated to adults you would hear a lot less stories like this. If I'm wrong then why do we see exactly that happening in European countries that have adopted the "manager" over "moralizer" approach?
@xxLaKalypsoxx I am going to have to disagree...I always thought that the drug problem with America was very crazy....Who the hell would want to buy Crack and Meth and put it in their body after all of the education on it....now i can see about drugs like marijuana but Meth and Crack are obviously monsters to the mind body and soul
For personal help with any addiction, write me at amanplusone@live.com, I will work with the addict and or the family day in day out, rates will be based on case by case situations!
Yes it distorys Souls and lives of everyone you love. And the sad thing is there is no excaping it once you try it . I knew a man who lost everything and is in Jail now his tow daughther lives have been ruined forever and if he was toget out of Jail he would just go right back to it. There is no Freedom from it but to trun and surrender to God and his commandments. God help theses lost souls.
i am 18 he came to our school, I really paid attention, drugs I will never touch because I know it is bad for me and I want a good life without drugs.
this guy needs to do a more detail testimony of what happend to him after he died and talk to us,the living,about what he saw cause he said he went to hell,he said he was in darkness,this is not the first time i heard about hell,but i understand the part about the meth, i too was a long time addict of 16 years,-cont..
rc12... cafien and alchohol are both drugs so that might make you the loser and drugs are ment to be here.without them there would be no advancments in medicen and health no free love from the 60s(dont bash it was a good thing)personaly i dont think you know much about "drugs" i think you randomly said it.also this is claiming pot has gateway afect i believe its illegal status makes it a gateway.pluss with a father doing everything under the sun then yah that might lead to meth as well.
Meth makes your body produce 6 times more dopamine than your body can handle FROM ONE HIT!
Dopamine is released from your brain ad it is what causes pleasure from anything (sex and food are the most pleasurable)
Causing that much dopamine to be realeased after some time... your brain will shut down the neurotransmitters and you will NEVER feel pleasure AGAIN...
ull feel pleasure again but after a looooooong time of detox and being sober. it is really hard to get that far because EVERYTHING is so boring and unpleasurable once u get used to be on meth
i smoke ice, 2 points [thatz 0.2 of a gram] every day, costs $50 a point and me fuken pipe is all burnt out now, i suggest if u want to feel good KIDS DO ICE but no ECSTASY! nearly died of ecstasy but ice is fine, just gives u a buzz for 8 - 16 hours depending on how much u smoke then ur up for 2 - 3 days. pretty sick! always it good to do ice at parties, socially helps you fit in with girls, if u dont have any confidence like myself.
This guy is a fuck up. He was mentally whacked. Now he is religious - and still mentally whacked. Don't blame this on meth ! Blame this on mental weakness and mental illness. Delusion? Christians believe that God talks to them.
For every person injure by meth there are a hundred injured by gasoline.
bless your wee cotton socks seahhag god bless ya :)
truth hurts me lovely. Ask your self this, why are you angry ? maybe you seek power over others when your been so rude ? or maybe your just ignorant ? anyhow keep smoking and i am sure you will find out, by yourself, one day ? peace and love always thats the truth :)
maybe i should be rude too but thats not me so read what i say if you want but you dont have to agree :) let us see how you are in another 10 years, all my mates smoke it and they will not reach there full potential and that is also a fact. by seah hag
Amen to that! I don't know any other reason for him being alive after all this hell. It's a rough story to handle, but necessary. Those who don't want to believe are the ones who make fun of it, and you know they're the ones still using.
Religion is a crutch and a bane as much as any drug.
I've lost a dear friend in the hand of religion because she was addict. She tought if was a better addiction. She was wrong. She cut herself from the last ones who were always there for her.
But YES weed everyday-use brought some of my friends kind of... lightly stupid, slow-minded and less intelligent beings.
Weed will fuck you up as much as any other drug and if you have any psychological problems it will eventually make them worse. Then you can get paranoid and then the problems start as you dont truly trust any one, not even yourself.I have been through this and some of my old mates still get high but are stuck in a rutt and will never truly be themselves 100%.All of them want to give up and just like any other material thing it can become addictive.
I agree that it has the potential for problems depending upon the mental state of the individual, but I disagree with the notion that using marijuana necessitates a negative psychological effect.
i know what you mean to a certain extent,it could be that the miss use of it, like anything else, would have negative effects, as there are youngsters, up and down the country, being supmitted for psycosis and not had the problems before smoking marijuana ? even some top performers in music, film stars like Ian brown, Brad Pitt, loads of rap artists my friends and people i know sometimes got really paranoid on it have stopped mainly because of it, so it something i realised in a lot of people.
Correlation does not imply causation - the same argument used by the tobacco industry to argue that cigarettes do not cause cancer. Perhaps mentally unstable people are more likely to resort to drugs.
I think a great deal of harm is done by social stigmatization of things which would be far less dangerous if heavy legal restrictions were not artificially imposed. (causes a psychological factor in itself).
Of course not using drugs at all is always a safe option. :)
This is a great video. I am glad he mentioned how weed was a negative effect to him too. I knew more than one person who did too much weed and had to admit how it messed with their psychological state.
This is such a tragic story, but I hope something good comes out of this horrific lifestyle. He must have had a mission to live and tell young kids the dangers of starting to do drugs.
I think it is a shame to see people e-fighting on this post. That is not the point. Both need to grow up. Both of you are 'judging'. This man is trying to share his struggle, hoping that it will prevent someone else this same type of suffering. Reguardless of what you believe spiritually, this man turning his life around and helping others is a great thing. Blessings to you, David, and your beautiful family. I pray for your continued faith in God. My hope is that you will keep gaining strength.
you are truly blessed for having your 2nd life... i'm so happy you have seen the right path and showing us the reality between good and bad... GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY ^_^

At what point did I say it would be your doing? I didn't. All I was saying was: all of you christians are the same, enjoying telling non believers that they are going to burn for an eternity.
i never said i enjoyed saying that i SAID i hope you repent before its too late. you see,radical christians give us good christians a bad name just like radical muslims give islam a bad name dont judge all of us by a few quacks.

You escaped meth, both of you. Not an easy journey. Good for you, guys.
Keep it up.
I know you can't really compare, but... I escaped nicotin addiction (after 20 years) and am happy to be alive today.
The commun denominator to these addictions STILL can be summarized in this only question: if there were no seller, would there be any buyer?

Causing that much dopamine to be realeased after some time... your brain will shut down the neurotransmitters and you will NEVER feel pleasure AGAIN...
