This is why when an obivious drug addict begs me for money I do not give, whether I have change or not, I do not want to help contribute to the death of a human being, even if they choose that life. Drugs are disgusting and I've seen what they can do to people.

Growing up I saw my step-brother get high many times, mainly on dope, and he ended up getting psychosis, and I've seen the CAT team come to inspect him..yeah well, that was more than enough reason for me to never even try anything.

I once lived a life which involved drugs not the poverty that went with it or the homelessness but not a nice life...I gave my heart to Jesus when I realized I didnt' want to be beat up for the rest of my life...I haven't touched drugs or alcohol for over 20 years...know that there is help for you and Jesus can set you free He did me...God Bless!

poor bastard.

To the one recording this: I know exactly what your talking about at 2:44 about having a certain amount of time clean and then it only took this guy 4 days to get into that state. I was in that state when I was shooting coke also. I wasn't so wiggly but I sure was fucked up enough. How is that guy doing now?? Do you know??

[RandomVidism]

we can only pray that he recovers from his sickness...truly sad once again
