what is the REAL VALUE of your video.... we all know the insanity tina leads us too..... it appears you are still living that insanity..... why? and online? this is a far from healthy place to stummble onto... and i have been meth free for 4 years......
I also stumbled upon this from the Montana Project videos and I must say that this is an exceptional piece of work. Aside from it's really great cinematography, kudos by the way, I think that this, as a whole, is a much better PSA than the Montana videos because this is REALLY how it goes down in the meth society and not so overly exaggerated and far fetched like the other vids. I know this because I've been an addict for a number of years and EVERYTHING that HE said I've either seen or done,
I was a meth user once. Only did it like about 6 times when I was 15-18. Meth did feel good, I felt powerful, confident, smart and horny. But meth is the Devils drug. It ruins your whole life. Meth can turn you into a bum. Fuck this shit. Smoke weed only people.
Meth lies to you. Meth makes you think you have it under control. When my son is on his binges, he lies, lies, lies and he thinks we believe him but really, we have his number and we agree with him just so he won't blow up. If he could only see himself through his family's eyes. If the meth addict only knew... I can spot you at the check out line of the store, I can spot you walking down the street. It breaks my heart. Meth robs you of all character & the clean person KNOWS YOUR LIES.
Hey Dino! I just found this accidently while watching Montana meth project ads and I am BLOWN AWAY!! This is done SO professionally! The music, sound production, video layering and fades, the angles, lighting, and editting are all outstanding. Are you doing docs as a profession? This is as good as anything I've seen on the academy awards short-subjects. Best wishes- I will be keeping my eye on you! TK
I have never taken drugs, so I don't know what it must be like to be addicted. What I will say though that the guy in this vid seems wildly unlike the archetype drug abuser. Infact, I think he came across as being a great guy. So, 'great guy', if you ever read this, I hope you can become sober (if that's your intention), and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
@EnglishLaaayDeee You can take a lot of drugs in your life, but ice and heroin are the two that crush everyone. There's only so much abusable euphoria the human conscious can withstand.
Hey man; I really appreciate the honesty of your films.....addiction is the 300 pound gorilla in the room that no one wants to talk about. When Vancouver was recently voted "most desirable city in the world to live" I had to laugh. The addiction problems there are like a festering sore. It is really sad. I wish the best of luck to these gentlemen. Peace.
dude so crazy!! some crazy tweaker chick came to my pad ask me for socks and scraped my bong"literally scraped my bong clean, and i gave her two dollars three times " to take the bus home" but she kept coming back like four hours later finally my dad gives her a ride drops her off at the bus stop, in the morning my dads going to work.their was hella trash on my loan with a passed out girl. so we had to get a restraining order on her.
He is soooo true about the laggers, "flailers" always keeping you waiting, for hours, hours, on their "speedy drugs". I'm happy to read he has recovered.

This one time I took a piss in a jail cell and I was on a 3 day bender. the other guys in the cell were like "holy crap that piss reaks" (they could smell the meth in my urine) it did reak!!
then I had an asthma attack and it took the nurses and guard like 20 minutes to get their (bastards) I am clean now 8 months and life is soooooooooooooooooooooo much better.
Excellent anti-meth video. Gary was right on the money about every symptom he described. I wish more meth addicts were as honest & forthright as Gary was. And especially with themselves. I have seen the future and America is Fucked!
lonly,not understood,have no sense of belonging after 12 years,judging no one,trying so hard ,always be judged because of differences...hard to be accepted ...having a good look lead to sex and drug to scape and still trying to save my life ..i hope you dont say the same thing ,go home or we hate victems...i finished college .and trying so hard .only thing i have is hope.i feel bad to say my story.i am a survivour not a victem .but life is much more difficult for me now.i will be ok i know that
I know a guy staying with my aunty and his names Gary hes 53 and hes on drugs(Meth)Hes a nice guy but cant trust him too much.Can anyone explain it to me.His face is so scary he didnt look like that 5 years ago.
Methamphetamine is the strongest stimulent known. Its incredibley powerful and while it speeds up the dopamine neurochemicals it also enhances and speeds up metabolismn, as well who wants to eat on speed, I didnt ever but sometimes I forced myslef. I 've been clean 8.5 months and am not going back, hope your friend finds peace!!
I think that your video is so real that it seems fake but unfortunately its true and fortunatetly you thought more of some one else to post your reality to a sea full of critics. I just want tolet you know that I think you rock!!!You are # 1 in my book for even putting yourself out there...
okay im just a nerd from england but i agree with what this guy is talking about drugs that stimulate the nervous system really fuck u up paranoia depression all come from these fucked up synthetic drugs pot and sh rooms peyote ect are absolutely harmless if u are a stable person in the right frame of mind who is not easily led astray from the wrong type of people free the weed i say make it legal
I use to be a drug attict...I've been clean for over a year now...I shot up cocaine...I also shot certain types of pills up...I think GOD everyday that i am clean...With help of GOD and my family i'll stay clean...You just take it one day at a time...I use to say when i seen an addict(I never do that) My husband has passed away now...He'd tell me never say never...I done drugs to hide the pain of losin' my Father and Husband and my best friend all in the same year...
He goes a bit far comparing meth to pot.Look in the mirror.After 7 years of smoking pot,I still look like a work of art.I weight train and all.I have a wife and a good profession.I'v done shrooms too,on rare occassions.I will never take meth, we have all been warned about where it leads.Take his word on that.
like one dude said on here i cant believe you think dopes cool... trust me its NOT, u get strung out on this shit and u dont even kno who you are, that cool? no, i dont think it is, and once u get started u never really quit, its not like smokeing cigs u cant jes put this shit down and say "i quit" coz crystal will haunt you, make u want her, she wont leave you alone and u guys think this is fuckin cool? omg, yall need to grow up
Gary is now clean and sober and an addictions counsellor. His ex-roomate on the other hand is still struggling with meth addiction and was evicted from the building. The building became over run with meth addicts and the owners had to evict everyone and are turning it into a E.S.L school. Meth addicts still flock to the surrounding area of the building to do deals ect.. I used to live in the building many years ago and Gary and Bennie were my neighbors.
WOW! That's an amazing story! I'm so happy to hear that he's clean now, he seems like such an intellegent person with a good heart in the video...he was just on the wrong track.
I knew that Gary had more to offer than he even knew. I wish I could tell him first hand how proud I am of him. Two of my sons were heroin addicts who have been clean now for 2 yrs., and they have no desire to return to that life. REAL TOUGH LOVE was involved. Gary...God Bless & Keep You...you're the MAN!
@sil3ntmode the west end of Vancouver, B.C, Canada. It was filmed at an apartment block called "The Rougemont" where i used to live.. It eventually got filled with meth heads then got sold..they kicked out all the residents and filled it with E.S.L students.
@dinod2 I know alot of people probally reply to you alot or what ever. But i just wanna say your videos really make me think about what I take for granted. Im NOT a drug addict but I hope you know what i mean.
I know what you mean about the drug hierarchy thing "This drug is worse than that one" etc. I was a smackhead - lowest of the low to all those still lying and robbing around me to keep their drug of choice habits going. Stopped using 5 years ago and no longer have people using me, my place or nicking my socks - and Hoo-fuckin-ray for that!!If you're still around I wish you peace and warm feet.
I just spent the past 3 years in very similar circumstances with crystal meth addiction, and have now been clean for almost 3 months and it is comforting to see a presentation that can be related to. Thank you!
Good vid. Very honest. Too bad he can clean himself up and put all that energy into a more positive recreation. In my opinion, Detox is the easy part, Fighting the every second craving is the hard part.
One of the best videos on this website. This guy is honest and sincere. I hope he can find his way back because he has so much more to offer than he realizes.
Gary has since cleaned up and become an addictions counselor. HIs roomate on the other hand is now living in a hollowed out tree in the park and is still on meth.
Nice. More gorgeous and classsy visuals as in your other work. This time it was the multiple shots from different angles of the guy, all superimposed on top of each other, that did it for me. Sweet.
Thanks for your comment, I used to like doing collage type visuals, but now i"m shooting in high def so it isn't that fluid to work with. I miss the ease of experimenting in dv.
it's awesome to see interviews involving drug users where it's just showing you into a small part of their lives and not trying to enforce that drugs are bad, or that you shouldn't do them.
