 and we should be live. Nice, there we are, getting all the windows set up. Hi everyone, this is Chishol. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today, today is April 21st and we're doing a live stream open discussion on addiction. This was sort of a request that came about from our discord and we've touched on addiction before and the topic has come up on our discord page or our discord server. So it was worth opening the floor to talk about this. I know just in general my take on addiction is that we human beings have addictive tendencies and that's mainly because we're passionate creatures, right? Because passion, if not managed properly and if you let your passion take control of your life, it turns into an addiction. That's my definition of addiction. Addiction, there's a fine line between passion and addiction, right? You could be passionate about something and incorporate that passion into your life and not sacrifice other aspects of your life, right? When that passion starts sacrificing some of the more or important things that you have to do in your life, right? When that passion takes over your life and it becomes your sole focus of life where you're sacrificing family, finances, your health, mental and physical and everything else that comes with addiction, then that passion has turned into addiction and it needs to be addressed. That's my definition of addiction and for anyone that wants to really explore the topic of addiction, I highly recommend following Gabor Matej's work. Books, articles, interviews, lectures, consume it all and it's through him really that I had started getting a grasp of what addiction was because if you've lived any amount of time in your life, you have had family and friends and even yourself possibly that has been addicted to something. It is everywhere in our societies because it's passion is a human nature, right? So for me, I never really understood addiction because for me, anytime where a certain passion starts sacrificing, you know, takes over my life it starts hindering my experiences, my other experiences and I basically got cold turkey on whatever that has taken over my life. So and that's something that I sort of, I guess, have come to do in my life because I realized that I personally have addicted tendencies, right? So I never really understood why people could not do that and Gabor Matej really opened up the door sort of shining light on the topic and it gave me an insight that I didn't have before because my experience, my insight into addiction was very personal. It wasn't as observing other addictions and trying to see, come to terms with why these addictions or addiction exists, okay? Aside from that gang, welcome to our live stream. Apologies if I didn't pay attention to the chat. Slick mick, auto mod, zapped, huge and porn didn't allow it, so I'm just allowing that, okay? Felix, how are you doing? How's it going, Chicho? Doing well, doing well. Thank you, Huckleberry. Welcome, welcome. Hi, Chicho. Hi, chat. Good to see everyone again. Indeed, we had a good time yesterday. It was 4.20, right? The real MC Mike morning, Chicho. Missed your live stream yesterday while I was out driving in the mountains. Oh, sounds like a fantastic time. Looked like a fantastic stream. It was a good stream, man. It was a celebratory day for us and we're going to celebrate that every year, April 20th. Every year, 4.20, we celebrate it. That is the holiday we're officially declaring and have been doing, right? Huckleberry unfortunately been hitting the week too hard while we're on this topic. Now that 4.20 is over, I'm going to be stepping back for the next 2-4 weeks. That's a great idea and I've done that multiple times. Sometimes I've stepped away from cannabis for months and there's been times where I've stepped away from it for a few years, okay? It's always good to do a recheck, right? Slick Mike, Chicho. I can't stay for long, but I just wanted to caution others. In my adolescence, I had a huge addiction to pornography. It led me to sacrificing relationships subconsciously and unfortunately viewing women in the wrong way. Then one day, I met a friend who has helped me to recover and I am now clean from porn, I guess for two-thirds of a year. Awesome. Cold turkey isn't easy, but I needed to save myself as it seriously damaged relationships, friends, relationships, etc. Thanks for that, Slick Mike and good on you, right? Again, addiction doesn't have to be pharmaceuticals, chemicals or anything like this. There's food addiction, porn addiction, gaming addiction, addiction to comic books, addiction to hoarding, addiction to exercise, addiction to anything, right? Crack. Good afternoon. How are you doing? Code 1717. Hey, Chicho. And all. What was the name of that Gabor Maté book? I don't know the name of the book. I've read Gabor Maté's articles. I've listened to a lot of his interviews and I've listened to a ton of his lectures, right? I've known of Gabor Maté because we were from the same city. He was based in Vancouver, right? And I was in Vancouver, I'm a Victoria's sister city, right? So he's from my part of the world and I knew, and I knew about Gabor Maté and I've known about Gabor Maté for a number of decades now or a long time now, right? Because of prohibition, because he was very active on the east side of Vancouver, which is, it's a crazy place, east side of Vancouver. I had friends that had visited me from Toronto, right? And Toronto is Canada's biggest city. It's got serious problems. It's amazing. I've lived there, but it's got serious problems, homelessness problems, drug problems, stuff like this, right? And this friend of mine, this was back in the, either early 2000s or late 90s, right? And she visited me in Vancouver and she was a social worker in Toronto. And we hopped in the car and I drove around Vancouver, shoring her the sights and I took her to the east end of Vancouver. It's impoverished area, right? East end of Vancouver. She was awestruck. Her mouth was open going, oh my god, Chico. Her experience in Toronto dealing with homelessness, the drug addicts, the addiction, the clinics and all that jazz, she goes, I've, this is my work. This is what I do for a living in Toronto and I've never, ever seen anything like this. There's people walking around with dead eyes, right? So, Gabor Mate came out of that scene dealing with the issues there, helping people fight addiction. And I, he really hit my radar when he started introducing ayahuasca entheogens in treating, okay, people who are addicted, addicted specifically to pharmaceuticals, but he also dealt with other addiction. Gabor Mate was addicted to collecting music, right? Like he would buy tons of CDs of, he was, he was, he was a consumer of music. He needed to have every version of every, every symphony ever done and stuff like this. And he got into dealing with addiction because he had to deal with his own addictions. And he introduced entheogens. I think he was one of the first people in the western world in Canada for sure, the only one that actually opened up the clinic to treat people with ayahuasca and entheogens regarding their addiction until the federal government shut them down, right? And his results were phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal. Okay. That's a quick intro to Gabor Mate. Okay. Now, before we go any further, I dive right into it, gang.

And I'm just going to get caught up with the chat. Huckleberry Slick Mac, absolutely brother. Too much porn can easily mess up real life sex and romance for you in a lot of ways and just relationships in general crack. Winnipeg is rough, but when I first visited Vancouver, I was shocked at parts of the city. Yeah, indeed, crap. It's crazy. It's actually safe, but it's trippy, right? Gouravours, chichou. I have an odd insight on this topic. When I was nine years old, I was prescribed Ambien, which I quickly abused, abused, laughed at nine years old for its hypnotic effects. I believe this early abuse changed how I choose experiment with other entheogens and pharmaceuticals. In my teenage years and early adulthood, even purposefully becoming addicted to certain pharmaceuticals to gain insight into my friend's group addictions. Wow, wow, wow. That's serious. There's a word for people who explore entheogens, we call them psychonauts. Gouravours, they would have to be a word for this. Addictonaut, where you explore addictions just to get a better insight into them. A dangerous field to be in. Felix, I would consider myself addicted to caffeine. It got to a point where I would be lethargic and sleepy all day unless I'd had a cup of coffee in the last hour or two. I gave it up about two weeks ago. Around the same time, I gave up meat and I feel so much more energetic and awesome. Felix does very good. And coffee is something I manage. I love the taste of coffee. Really, if it was available to me all the time, I would drink it all the time. And it is available to me all the time to a certain degree. But if I'm drinking coffee, I drink coffee for a few days and then I stop for a month to two months. So it's something that I really try to manage myself. Coffee is extremely addicted to so sugar, tobacco, alcohol, gambling. These are five things that are some of the, coffee is not as horrendous as the other four, but sugar, tobacco, gambling, and well, you add food on there as well. Some of the most horrendous, most dangerous activities and what do we call them? Chemicals, foods that get people addicted are illegal in most Western countries. However, some of the other ones are herbs, plants and stuff that actually can help you to eliminate those addictions are illegal as Gabo Mate's work has shown. So incredible society we live in. MC Mike, what's your take on East Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver with the drug addiction there? MC Mike, I don't know how to give you my take on it. I can tell you that a lot of the early math videos that I shot that we did graffiti on the wall teaching mathematics, a lot of that was I filmed it in East End. Okay, a lot of it I filmed in East End. One of the ones that we did with a friend of mine where we're talking about the factor theorem and the remainder theorem where you're trying to find the x-intercepts gives you the x-intercepts of a quadratic function and it also gives you the point and he did the editing. It's the only one that I've done with collaboration with someone else where he did the shooting and he did the editing. When we're shooting that video, we're behind number five orange which is a strip joint and as I was shooting the video, this will give you an insight into what I think of the East End. As I was shooting the video my friend was shooting me, there was a couple of crack heads looking for crack on the ground and one of their friends came along happy as what and he had his shirt off, he ran over and he had already scored so he went around the corner, not even around the corner, like 50 meters away, you could see him and he was using his pipe and his friend was trying and then afterwards there were tripping balls and we were still shooting my math video. Okay, so what's my take on the East Side? It's basically the symptom of the problems we have in our society but as far as I'm concerned, I've spent some time there. I don't fear it, the people living there are human beings, there's crime there, like you're foolish if you park your car overnight there and you have anything that anyone can look inside the car. The odds are the glass will be broken and the items stolen. But I've spent a lot of time there, I don't feel in danger there, I haven't encountered any problems there but I've known people that I have and you just have to be aware of where you are and behave accordingly but it's basically a product of our society, of brutal crony capitalism, corporate capitalism, whatever you want to call this thing. That's my take. So Huckleberry, the opiate epidemic is at its zenith where I'm from in Ohio in the States. I've watched good people get hooked and even die from the garbage. It's horrible, Huckleberry agreed. Vancouver too, Canada as well, serious problem and it was pushed 100% by the pharmaceutical industry. They were taking, they were selling tens of millions of pills in the States anyway to a little town of a population of like 10,000 and it was acting as a distribution hub to the rest of the country or in that region to get the oxycon and all the other stuff out. Some of those pharmaceutical companies were sued but the pharmaceutical addiction is insane and that is very much pushed through Wall Street. That's getting into politics and stuff but it is. We have to face that reality and why are people consuming this stuff? Because our society has in all essence as a community has completely collapsed, right? Grower, forest, opiate addiction moves differently through the community. Many decade old abusers treat their doctors like a demigods with the power of life and death, judgment being authorized, refill or not. It's crazy and Gabor Maté talks a lot about this stuff, Joe Backeye, there's a weird shoe collection addiction that I never understood. People collect shoes like comic books, yeah and collecting things is legit, right? It's a form of investment, it's not Joe Backeye. I agree with you, it's not something I would collect however when you know there's a market for it, right? And everything is a market, right? NTFs, we got non-fungible tokens that are collectibles now, right? When our society and humanity really, the first type of commerce that was done was really through collectibles, right? That's currency. So it is a collectible, it is a legitimate place to flip money, trade, park your money, however you want to look at it, right? Just like comic books, but it is interesting. Scarcity and induced scarcity and Bitcoin is one of them as well, right? The shoe collection is like, oh we're only going to print, what was the guy, the rapper, a thousand pairs of this shoe that has blood in it or something like this, right? Well, okay, they put a limit of a thousand, so if there's a thousand and one person that wants to collect that, then the price of their initial thousand will go up because there's one person more that wants it, right? Bitcoin is the same, there's 26 million limits on it, right? If there's more in it comes out, right? And it's going to, you know, the supply is coming out slowly, right? Envious. Hey everyone, for me, it's a typical addiction, cigarettes. I'm trying to stop it for a while now, but it's hard to do, especially when I have stressful times. Yeah, I've known, I've seen people kick heroin addiction, opiate addiction, gambling addiction, alcoholism. I've seen people stop every other addiction more easily, except for alcohol, alcohol is hard, it can be done, right? And it doesn't mean you're not addicted to those things, it's just not part of your life anymore, right? Kick it, right? That means stop using them. And cigarettes has been the hardest for most people that I know, okay? Literally, cigarettes is the hardest thing I've seen people trying to quit. Go for it. I've heard a lot about this. In many areas, Kentucky, India, Florida as well, it creates a mental emotional rift in those denied. Equilibrium doesn't come easy for those who don't recognize an alternative to the chemicals as an option. Yeah. And gang, don't forget, Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange, Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, see wikileaks.org, defend.wikileaks.org, or our Julian Assange and Wikileaks playlist on censor two. Huckleberry to grow first, absolutely, it's a massive problem here and it's only growing now. Felix Ciccio, I have a friend who up until a few months ago was horribly addicted to a host of different drugs and it started with weed. I've been friends with him for over a decade and seeing him spiral out was tough. That's one of the reasons marijuana should be legalized. If you can acquire it through legitimate stores, there's no illegitimate dealer to buy from who's who will convince you to take harder drugs, 100% Felix, right? Like as a kid growing up, it was easier in high school and I'd live in, I grew up in Vancouver, right? And right now, like it has been always easier for kids in high school to get their hands on weed than it has been to be able to buy alcohol, right? Alcohol legal weed illegal, right? So something illegal was easier to get their hands on than something that was legal, okay? If that doesn't register properly into people, then people need to look into this, okay? And what happens when you're acquiring something illegal? Now there are dealers out there that have a conscience, cannabis dealers that will never deal with anything else that is destructive to humanity, right? But there's a lot of people that will, right? If there's money to be made, you will get people in of all types trying to make money in whatever it is, okay? So we really have to reevaluate the hand that centralized power has to play in our lives and the decisions that they're making. Hoko Berichicho, I applaud your empathy. Lots of people call the police when they see drug addicts and don't understand that they're the symptom, not the disease. Indeed, good people having their humanity taken from them don't need more dehumanizing. Yeah, yeah. For me, it's just I grew up within a Vancouver, right? So it wasn't too shocking to me when it's normalized on that level. And you end up knowing people, meeting people. I've had people who have multiple addictions and multiple things, but it is what it is, right? And as Gabor Maté states, one of the people, one of the reasons people succumb to these things is because of trauma and a lot of it associated with childhood trauma, but it doesn't necessarily have to be childhood trauma. Trauma in general triggers, right? King Canada live, I remember Hastings Street from when I went to Vance City to watch the 98 Great Cup, 99 Great Cup. Never seen that type of drug usage before as I was only 14. Crazy stuff, crazy stuff, right? Index, hello, hello, how are you doing? Hello, friends. Long time, don't say long time index. Nice to have you here. King Canada live, I'll be two months cigarettes free, not even a puff. This Saturday afternoon, 20 years of smoking, you can do it too, indeed. And gang, if you're smoking cigarettes, put it down. I don't give a rat's ass what you need to do to put it down. Put it down, put it down. I know it's easy to be said, coming from someone that really detests cigarettes and I really detest them, not just because of the product, but the people that sell the product and also the corporations that sell the product, the way they've been promoting the product and what they did to an entheogen, really, because tobacco was meant to be used as a healing plant and just imagine the absurdity of this thing. Tobacco was meant to be used as a healing plant, but the indigenous population of the United States, North America, corporations took this thing, herb, plant that was traditionally used as a healing plant. They added a ton of chemicals to it, made it addictive beyond belief and started selling it and turned it into one of the biggest killers in the world. That politics to me just makes my blood boil and I refuse to be lenient on the subject of cigarettes. My friends that smoke know me. I stopped hanging around some friends because they smoke too much. I have friends that we used to go on fun guy walks and we went a lot and I remember when they started smoking, I was like, dude, stop, don't do it. Oh, I'm only doing it this, this, this. Years later, chain smoking, right? We needed to stop and I told them to straight up, I go, listen, man, if we're going on a fun guy walk, right? If you want to call a trip in, whatever it is, I'm in nature, I'm in appruciateness. When I get a swift of the cigarette smell coming my way, it kills my experience, right? And we had to stop. Okay, I did test cigarettes gang just for the record. If that wasn't clear. Oh, my God. Blast from the past index to index. Grow for us, Felix. Similar to the ayahuasca movement, heavy, overpowered edibles or capsule filled, rosin, the carved hash in my experience, in my experience, can induce temporary aversion to other ingestible drugs with a with a routine overwhelming inward meditate meditation, forced self awareness as as a coupled effect to the strong long lasting effect of the cannabis. That's a lot of mental growth force. Awesome index. Indeed, it's been a crazy or pandemic move to a new state. Got engaged. Wow, index. Finished up my PhD. Finished up. You finished off your PhD. Nice. I think we knew about your engagement. Busy, busy indeed. Felix, I've noticed myself becoming a little too fond of alcohol. When I go out with my friends, I'm always the one that drinks the most. Last time I had two thirds of a rum bottle, four ciders and three gin and tonics in about four hours. I am pretty big guy. So it takes a lot for it to get to me. But I'm definitely going to slow down. Don't want to fall into that habit hole. Yeah, Felix. Look, alcohol, for me, I've gone off on alcohol, as I mentioned before, I got into it early and I've gone off on it a lot. I don't anymore. That's one of the reasons I started making liqueurs as well. Something that was handed down from my grandfather. I thought, oh, this was cool. Because liqueurs, you're sipping the alcohol. But I'm not a big guy as most. But I could pound it back. For me, the thing that would make me stop is when I would drink about a 26 or a half. Because your tolerance goes up with alcohol, the more you drink, the more tolerant you are to it. After a ball and a half, I would go, okay, I need to stop and I would go cold turkey. I don't think I need to go through that cycle anymore because I would go through that cycle multiple times in my life. Alcohol is hard to manage. One of the reasons alcohol is hard to manage is because you're of your people that you're with. Because if you're going out and drinking, then you're going to a social setting where everybody's drinking. And once you need to eliminate the alcohol from your life, that means you also have to cut most of your social activities if you're a daily drinker. So the hardest part comes where you don't have people you're socializing with. And then when you hook up with them, they're drinking and you're not. So it becomes very difficult. And that is one of the reasons people have mentioned this. I have a lot of passions. I have a lot of things that I love. One of the reasons I have this is because I needed to find different social activities for me to engage in if I was cutting a major one out of my life. And going through cycles like this, you pick up multiple different social activities. So the social aspect of addiction is also huge things that people have to consider. All right. John-Zook, yes, I made it. Awesome. You did an uptime, 23 minutes you got in. Sorry if I'm way behind chat. Wow, I'm way behind chat, gang. I'm sorry. This is an important topic, so I'm trying to go through as much of the chat as possible. I don't buy cannabis from people who sell any other substance. Awesome. I'll go bury. That is a fantastic thing to do, right? Yoshi, how are you doing? Good day to you as well. Welcome, welcome. Gang, I'm going to scroll through the chat. Speedy Gonzales style, okay? I'll go in a few days. It will be six months since my last pint of cider. The only thing I really needed, but now I'm free. Awesome, Alderga. Congrats, congrats. Good on you, brother. Really? I'm scrolling down to see if there's anything directed towards me, gang. Cheryl, how are you doing? Welcome, welcome. Cheryl, quitting cigarettes was the most difficult thing I ever done, but totally worth it. Awesome, Cheryl. Yeah, I had a friend that was trying to quit smoking that we went on a mushroom walk, fungi walk. I've done this with multiple people. Sunset, you know, I'll share that experience through entheogen stuff, but we're on a fungi walk and she turned to me and said, Cheryl, listen, I've tried quitting smoking cigarettes. She goes, the last time I tried, I was vomiting for a week, crawled up in bed in a fetal position, and it just wouldn't go away, so I had to start it up again, right? So cigarettes, I've seen people have an extremely hard time, extremely hard time. Jon Zook, I use so much nicotine. One night driving, I had like 20 milligrams of gum in two hours or less. I thought I was gonna die. Still, haven't quit enough, quit, quit though. Wow, wow, wow. So that was because you're trying to quit smoking cigarettes, you're chewing the nicotine gum and nicotine, doesn't that get your heart pounding like mad? Do it so much, Yoshi, do it so sober, sober, right? Grow a forest, Elder God to grow a forest. It was very hard, but the lockdown actually helped me in this endeavor. Awesome. And Elder God, I'm guessing one of the reasons it helped you because it's the social setting, yeah? Grow a forest. And by the way, gang, once this lockdowns are removed or removed, when these bars open up, if you've been able to quit a certain addiction, eliminate a certain addiction in your life because you haven't had the opportunity to do that, get into that social setting, don't fall into the trap again. Dangerous. Grow a forest. Considering tobacco, I enjoy seeing aphids from vegetables hop on the lower leaves of my Virginia and ceremonial tobacco. They quickly colonize and start eating. But a few weeks later, they are dead from the heavy, all alkaloid poisoning. Are you serious? Grow a forest? Because one thing I've noticed growing, I've grown tobacco before, by the way, and I actually have tobacco that I harvested, still a little bit in the jar. I'm planting on planting seeds. But one thing I've noticed from growing other power plants, right? Pests love power plants. May they be cannabis, may it be salvia, may it be tobacco, may it be da'tura. They love it. They love entheogens, right? And I didn't know tobacco will kill. The bugs will go to it first. I know they go to it first, but it'll kill them. I gotta look into this, grow a forest. And by the way, if you're gonna go grow tobacco from what I understand, tobacco and tomato don't like to be near each other. We're gonna grow tomato for sure this year in our patio. I'm gonna plant some tobacco seeds. I'm just gonna spray in a pot, right? I'm gonna see what happens. I'll definitely share if they do grow. My parents have always smoked cigarettes, so when I was younger, I said screw it and just started using a cigarette. E-cigarette, okay? As far as I know, E-cigarette, better than cigarette. Huckleberry, chicho. Socializing has been a tough part of taking a break from weed. I lean towards no smoking some days, and then a friend will text me and ask me if I'm going to and it's hard to say no. It's hard to say no. And I agreed. With cannabis, it's pretty important to take a break. Step away every now and then, right? Resistance. So people are talking to each other. Felix, chicho. Have you ever done a chicho wardrobe stream? You have some of the coolest shirts I've ever seen. And I think we need to see the collection. You've seen some of it. I have a lot that I haven't even worn on camera, right? I have some crazy ass shirts. I got some crazy ass shirts. Sometimes you just got to go loud, man. Sometimes you just got to go, right? Some people have wore shirts places. People are like, what the hell is that? I'm like, big smile on my face, bobbing my head. That's right, baby. I'll scroll it down, guys. Girl for a chicho. I've witnessed green aphids turning black from over consumed tobacco. Are you serious? Girl for it. And then they drop dead. And then they die. Elder God, the pubs are open here for outside drinking, but I haven't even been tempted to visit. Okay. One of the hardest things, Elder God, one of the hardest things for me to do to stop and man, it took effort was patio hopping. In the summertime, one of the things we used to do is in Vancouver because we don't have very much sun. So when we get sun, everyone's outside. And we just go from patio to patio just drinking and stuff like this. And the socializing is amazing. People are in the sun. It's a great atmosphere, great mood. And at the time when I was doing this, you could smoke a cigar in the patio. So I would smoke Cubans and drink in a patio, just talking about it makes me want to do it. But I'm glad I'm not, right? It's hard on the body. The socializing is amazing, but it can get a little dark after a few hours of this, right? Yeah, I'm glad I'm not really. My heart was pounding for like an hour or two after I had to drink like three bottles of water. Yeah, that's the chewing tobacco, right? Chewing the nicotine gums. But I have quit before for two months, along with cannabis, maybe shouldn't have been so stingy on quitting cannabis. I started back up because I was with old friends and said, oh, I can take one. Famous last words, right? Famous last words. Hey, there's something. What did Yoshi say? Oh, look, I think he's, he's on a break. Morning. The loss of his mother. I hope he's doing well. Oh, someone. I hope they're okay. I missed the conversation. So I don't know what the conversation is about. Zabrowski. Hey, good morning, Chichou. Good morning to you as well, Zabrowski. Hope you're doing well. Index. I moved to New Mexico and haven't figured out how to grow crops here. The desert environment is just so different than anywhere else I've left. Yeah, lots of sun. You must need so much water, so much water. King Canada. All night shade plants, including tobacco, are extremely high in various types of alkaloids, which have adverse effects on all living things, even at low doses. Okay, so night shade. Yeah, night shade I've grown before. I had, we had one. I need to get another one. The bugs hit it. I just had to let it go. I couldn't manage the bugs on it, right? So they take out the high alkaloids, but the bugs love it. The bugs, like humans, I guess, just love what talks it to them. Grow for a Chichou. I'm not sure if they die, but it seems the generational cycle ends and they die where they stand. Really, lay. It speeds up the, speeds up the rotting, and that part of the plant turns to mush, mostly on the ceremonial tobacco. Okay, okay. I don't want to, I don't want to attract too much bugs. I'm going to try to manage this thing. Intrepid. How are you doing? Hope you're doing well. What are your thoughts on poor addiction that seems to affect a lot of folks? It's serious. Someone mentioned earlier on at the beginning of the stream, Slickmic, I believe. Poor addiction is a serious issue, right? One of the, one of the reasons poor addiction is, is, is so problematic, comes down to the economics and the politics of it. Like most of the porn people consume online is controlled by one organization, right? So it's, it's a monopoly. It's completely centralized, right? It's like the diamond industry, right? So porn is extremely, in terms of business, it's a monopoly. And what do monopolies tend to do? Any business that has no conscience, right? And no business on Wall Street really has a conscience, right? The way our current economic system is set up, the only thing they care about is profits. So when there's a business set up and they have, let's assume, five products, right? Let's assume they have five products. Four of those products may be beneficial for humanity. One of them may not be beneficial for humanity, but the one that is not beneficial for humanity is, is consume 10 times more than the other four combined. Now, if you're a business that you don't have a conscience, your first responsibility is share, return shareholder value. That is what your business model is to make as much money as possible. You're going to drop these four and you're going to push this guy because this guy gets 10 times more revenue than all the other four combined, right? And guess what? This one probably costs less for you to make, right? So what happens is with the porn industry, there are certain types of porn, right? That they're pushing that are extremely addicted and extremely destructive to society, right? They're not pushing exotica. They're not pushing educational sexual videos, right? Educational sexuality, right? They're not pushing beneficial aspects of human sexuality really or desire for it. They're pushing the addictive aspects of it, right? So if you're addicted to porn online, know this, you're being manipulated like a little bitch by a corporation that is making money off your addiction, right? They're making money for the rich fat cats that have invested in that corporation that are basically taking every other aspect of your life away from you. That's the way I would look at it if I had a porn addiction and I'd be pissed because those corporations are fucking up my life, right? I'm just saying it that way because hopefully that'll zap some people out of their addiction by being manipulated. You are a living human being that has multiple, multiple passions in your life and a lot of those passions, you don't even, you haven't even, you haven't even explored yet. Why? Because this corporation has digged into your soul and found something there and is filling it full of poison and has made you addicted to this toxin, right? And it's destroying your life and by the time you blink, it's going to be 10, 15 years later and you're going to look at yourself and you're going to go, what a piece of crap I am, right? Anyway, what are your thoughts on porn? That's my thoughts intrepid, one aspect of it, right? Water is Ramadan. Water in, what, water in Ramadan. Felix, Chicho, I'm 18 in a few months and I've recently started patio hopping with my friends a few times a week where we'll go to someone's house and have some drinks, play some music and have a good time, looking forward to lockdown restrictions fully going down and being able to host house parties, yeah? And barbecues, dude, barbecue, barbecue and patio hopping at homes, better than patio hopping and bars, right? And restaurants because they, that can be extremely expensive, right? Extremely expensive and you have a lot of choices, right? When you're doing it with friends, the frequency is much less, so it's more manageable and you can do barbecues, barbecues, right? All right, Chicho, I have just been informed that wake the beast is taking a break after family loss. Oh, that's what it was. Yoshi, send them my condolences, man. I hope everything goes okay and I think, I read a comment above, was that was wake the beast? Yeah, was that his mother or grandmother or something? Oh, man, I missed it. Send them my best gang, okay? Yeah, loss is hard, man. I put out a video on that, right? So it's, it's serious. Ronnie Nightie, hi, man. How are you doing? Welcome, welcome. Weep for a preach. How about we preach, brother? Gardner says, Ronnie, we, yeah, people can be addicted to cannabis indeed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've known people who are addicted to cannabis. We, we human beings can be addicted to anything, right? Gabo Maté proved that the guy was addicted to collecting classical music, like classical music addiction, where you're spending thousands of dollars a month buying classical music CDs because you want to have every type of variant of a certain symphony that everyone has ever put out, right? It does an addiction, right? Are you flipping that as a business? Then you've taken your addiction and turned into a business and hopefully that'll kick you out of your addiction, right? And gang, don't forget Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange, Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, please see wikilease.org, defend.wikilease.org, or our Julian Assange and Wikilease playlist on CensorTube. Garner, our natural impulses are capitalized on and cannibalized for the sake of profit. Not everyone. Corporate, corporate impulses to a certain degree, yes. I think human impulses not necessarily. Ronnie, yes. I can confirm. Yeah. Gang, if you find that something in your life, a passion in your life has turned into an addiction. An addiction meaning that for your passion, consuming, doing whatever it is that you're doing, it could even be exercise, right? You're sacrificing family, friends, finances, your physical health, your mental health. You're sacrificing other experiences. That passion has turned into an addiction. Deal with it. If you're, if you deal, for me, I'm harsh on this. Deal with it. Does that mean go on cold turkey? If you have the ability to do it, go to cold turkey. Does that mean recognizing that you have a problem? That's step number one. Step number two, talk to someone about it. Okay. Seriously, talk to someone about it. Read about it. Seek information. I know it's easier said than done. Try to dig down and find out what the trauma was that acted as a catalyst for you to become addicted to something, for you to take something that might have been beneficial in your life, to turn it into something completely destructive in your life, right? I feel like my parents met through patio hopping and house parties, hearing them talk about their experiences makes me look forward to it even more. No, it's fun, man. Yoshi, sure will do, she show. Awesome. Thank you very much, Yoshi. Indeed, his mother passed away hard. He said he's going to be off for two weeks to go see his mother. Yeah. And hopefully he takes as much time as he needs, right? And he's a powerful dude, man. You know, we did a live stream. He's a strong guy. He's a smart guy. He was able to step away from something that he realized was not what it was meant to be, right? That means that puts you in the strong category in my book, right? And expect the conversations pretty sure to be heavier, okay? And pay attention to what he says. Huckleberry, I've got class, so I've got to go. Okay, Huckleberry, enjoy your class. Final weeks is getting crazy. Good talk, everyone. Be well. You too, you too. Cheryl to Felix, that's awesome. I wish my community was a bit more front door friendly. Liquid swords and one addiction is very ambiguous subject, it seems. I have asked myself if addiction even exists. Some people seem to get physically addicted to certain substances. Meanwhile, others can do that very same substance, how much they want without ever getting addicted to it. I've noticed that with nicotine, I just couldn't get addicted to it no matter how much I did it. Yeah. Our biology is different. Everybody's different. Just think of it as allergies. Some people are allergic to strawberries. Some people are not. I'm not, thank God. Oh my God. I would really suck to be allergic to strawberries, right? Maybe I'll, something I'll grow in allergy strawberries. I've consumed foods that I didn't wasn't allergic to, and then later on I grow an allergy to them, right? So there is, our bodies, our chemistries are so different. That's why I 100% think we should take modern medicine with a huge grain of salt, because modern medicine functions on statistics. They say, okay, 70% of people that consume this thing see a benefit from it. So if someone comes into a doctor's office with this certain symptoms, or they think this illness, they'll play the stats game. They'll go, oh yeah, 70% saw a benefit for this, 30% didn't, or maybe 20% didn't. It was benign and 10% saw adverse reactions. So because you're having a problem with this, we'll recommend that you take this pharmaceutical because 70%, maybe you're the 70%. 70% will see a benefit to this. Well crap, maybe you're not, right? Here's a thing when it comes to addiction, drugs, right? This is a stat, take with a grain of salt. But there are certain drugs, addictions out there where pharmaceutical companies have come up with something that alleviates, can help some people kick this addiction, right? Now the stats on those pharmaceutical solutions to help people with this addiction are like, it doesn't even help 70%. It helps one out of five. We're talking 20%, right? There's a 20% success rate that if someone with an addiction to this chemical consumes this, will no longer have an addiction to this. Well, what are the side effects to the other four out of five, 80% of the people? Some of those side effects are horrendous, right? And then some people actually get addicted to the thing that they're consuming to kick this addiction, right? Meanwhile, and I came across these stats through Gabor Matej's work, right? But I'm paraphrasing, and I did this a long time ago. Meanwhile, Gabor Matej's experiments that he conducted with ayahuasca trying to help people kick all types of addictions, but being in the east end of Vancouver, there was a lot of opiate addiction, right? But a lot of addictions, gambling addiction, alcoholism, drug addiction, all kinds of addictions, right? His success rate was like 80%, right? Meanwhile, the entheogen that a trained doctor was using under clinical setting, okay, was shut down and the pharmaceutical companies are still allowed to sell their pills, right? Us human beings vary, right? We are not the same physically, biologically, emotionally, mentally, right? We need to explore all avenues when it comes to our societies and the solutions that are offered to us, right? So take that however way you want. I'm just, it just needs to be said, right? Ronny, 90. My biggest addiction is being productive. I don't want to sound like I'm such a hard worker, but my mind is restless. I can go a day without trying to do, I can't go a day without trying to do something to feel like I achieve something, yeah? Ronny, there was a saying in corporations that I've worked at, right? And I've done work for corporations before, right? One of the things is, if you want to get something done, you give it to a busy person. Don't give it to the person who's not busy because that person who's not busy in general is not doing a lot. The person who's busy is doing a lot. So if you want something done, you give it to the busiest person in the office to get it done because they get it done, right? Good luck with the final show. This is a very nice crack. As part of my ongoing education here at the union office, I am currently taking mental health first aid and there are sections that talk a lot about recognition and how to take the next steps. That's the most difficult part, recognition and action, yeah? And that's the thing that I've seen with most people is recognizing that you have a problem. People can yell at you, freak out on you, talk to you gently, show you what's going on. And if you, as a human being, are not willing to accept that you have addiction, a problem with a certain substance or certain behavior, you'll never, the next step will never be taken. Grow forest. Right now, I'm addicted to acquiring Plina, California, jupato, caba tree varieties on deep end. Grow forest, what are those things? Funny. Cheryl, 100% crack. Did they have any tips? Not that it can be boiled down that way. Yeah, getting people to recognize, right? Grow forest. I 100% traded holographic Pokemon cards for rare grafted or sessions. Ronnie, I barely have social life and I haven't had any real long-term girlfriend in my entire life and I'm 30 right now. Ronnie, there's nothing wrong with that. Ronnie continues, I think my upbringing and my parents' emphasis on life's success has made me feel insecure and feel money and having a good career should be prioritized over everything else. And of course, I know that's not true. And these things don't bring true happiness. Agreed, Ronnie. And just to relate, right? My longest experience, my longest relationship into my early 30s, up to my early 30s was maybe a few months, right? And most of my life I had spent single because I couldn't be in a long-term relationship. My longest relationship before this and I'm over half a century, right? My longest relationship before this relationship that I'm in right now that I've been in for 10 years, right? My longest relationship before this was a year and a half, right? So maybe it's also you realize early on in the relationship that maybe this isn't going to go where you want it to go, right? And don't judge your partners too harshly, right Ronnie? And for sure, money does not supersede relationships, not by long shot, not even close, right? So make sure you tip your toes into other places, other other communities. Maybe it's the community that you're in that is not giving you the options of having a partner that will satisfy you. So that means going out there and exploring communities that you might have not explored before to see what type of relationships, trouble you can get into there, right? Correct. I've just started the training, still have a few modules to go Cheryl. Support systems play a huge part, a little easier for us in our organization as we have a hefty employee assistance program that we can get people in touch with. Cool. And by the way, here's, but I'll just throw this out there. One of the positive aspects of the lockdowns. I'm not saying I agree with the lockdowns. You guys know I disagree with them. Initially, okay. Now, no. However, there are positives to everything. One of the positive sides of the lockdown in my area is the casinos are closed. So there is a lot of gambolaholics that unfortunately the ones that are tech savvy, they're online, gambling online, right? But a lot of gambolaholics, people that were throwing their lives away and their finances by going to the casino haven't been able to do that. So it's forced removal from addiction, right? Max Wilde is definitely genetic as well. My mother's side of the family has a long history of addiction to a variety of chemicals and actions. Yeah. Correct. Recognition by others is part as well, Cheryl, and knowing how to step in and what to do to help. Yeah. But people who don't want to face their addictions, they, they could just not do it, right? Cheryl, I totally understand, Ronnie. At least you are aware. Do you like any activities like biking, kayaking, et cetera? This is about the relationships. Something physical and action oriented, not suggesting you replace, but something that can be a focus and also group activity. Zabrowski. Oh, where'd that go? I lost it. Zabrowski. Chicho, my dad's way of informing us not to do drugs was a drive through East Hastings at 4am with a boat and trailer on the way to the boat launch. Hilarious. And for example, like for me, right? One of the things I did with family members that were still teenagers, they were into skateboarding, right? In the middle of the night, I would take them to the east end and I would go with them and I would let them skateboard, right? One of the reasons I did that was because they live in that city and I want them to be comfortable, understand the different parts of the city, right? The other part was to expose them to this insanity, right? And also allow them to realize that there is also nightlife in the city that they live in. There's people that function on different cycles, right? So I sort of did that with my, I don't have any kids, with family members, right? It was interesting watching their expressions, teenagers, go first, from floppies in elementary school to thumb drives, 1000 plus the size in high school, voila. Elegant chicho. Upadio parting stories sent me straight back to the 90s. Big time. Cold beer with the sun on my back, watching the football. Where did those golden days go? Yeah, I went 90s and the 2000s as well. And then I needed to stop. I was in the kitchen and listening half ways. I have my own duality in things I look upon, either way being accepted, accept, accepted or expected in some cases. So in half minutes, waiting of time, I can say if you expect too, too much from yourself or others, it may be good or bad. And acceptance of circumstances can be either good or bad, too. ZWMoney, hey chicho, been watching you on YouTube a lot, but haven't been able to catch a stream. Here now though, hope all is well with everyone. Thank you very much for popping in here, ZWMoney. Welcome to our live stream. I'm scrolling down gang. Index corporations, non-profits manipulate us into believing we are workaholics. In reality, they use our passion for a subject against us to make us feel bad for setting boundaries, 9-5 work hours, weekdays, etc. is the most common way modern employers get around workers' rights today. I agree with index. Be careful with corporations. Draw a line, your human being, make sure you have other passions in your life and other things you want and need to do other than work. And really, if you love what it is that you do, we have to come up with a word other than work. Rodney, nice chicho. I was starting to lean towards not marrying. Initially, when I was younger, I used to say, oh yeah, I'm going to get married. I'm going to have 11 kids. I used to say, people used to ask me, how many kids do you want, chicho? I used to say 11. Actually, and then I would correct myself. Actually, I need 15 because I want to make a soccer team, football for those of you in the UK and Europe and stuff. So I want to put together a football team, right? And I need at least four substitutes, right? And they all used to go crazy. What? That's insane. No, no, no. I don't want to defend it, right? Allerga, Rodney, now you're talking. Lifting the iron can bring you closer to God than anything else. Hilarious. They can burn out doing something they love. Yeah, and Cheryl makes a point. Cheryl gives a point regarding work, right? Index, absolutely. But people can burn out doing something they love. Indeed, 100%. Right? And gang, don't forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange, Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capital's power to humanity. For more information, see wikileaks.org, defend.wikileaks.org, or our Julian Assange and Wikileaks playlist on CensorTube. Go for it, chicho. I posted a jobotakada tree in discord general. Awesome. Thank you. We do have a gardening folder as well. It's like a grapevine oak tree, grapevine oak tree. Cool. If you had long time no see, long time no see, I totally forgot how to pronounce your name. Cheryl, please don't think I'm saying that focused, intense hard work is bad, Rodney, but I wouldn't want you to miss out on other aspects of life in the, Cheryl, and tons of social opportunities and lifting fitness. Yep. Yep. It sounds like you have more balance than you realize. Cheryl says to Rodney, Rodney, I agree with that, Cheryl. Thanks. And I knew what you were saying. I'm trying to find out how we'll find other hobbies. I want to get into motorcycle, but failed the course. Okay. Be careful with motorcycle gang. Riding a bike is no joke. Okay. If everybody only rode motorcycles, then it's safer, but they don't. There's big cars being driven out there and small cars and you on a motorbike are a fly on the, on the windshield if you're not careful. That's 89 V2, chicho. I just wanted to say thank you for your stream and I'm happy to see someone with some same thinking as mine about the pills doctor give us. Sorry for my bad English. I'm French. No worries. And you said it well does. There's a lot of people who have our hands off pharmaceuticals, right? But Joe master, hello, chicho. My weed addiction just seemed to get tougher every time I made an effort to quit. It must be done. You already recognize it's an addiction. Do it. It's hard brother. Dude, you're talking to someone that knows, right? So the first few days are the hardest for any addiction. Really the first few days are the hardest. Okay. What you need to do is replace that and it is intense. It could be intense, right? That sensation with something else, go for a really long walk, watch, go off on an amazing anime series, get together with someone you really enjoy their company with and play chess, right? Or play backgammon, cook food, make preserves, occupy your idle hands. Okay. Read a book. Read a book, right? It's the first few days and then you notice something different. Explore your dreams because as soon as you stop consuming cannabis, your dreams will amplify. So start doing research into interpreting dreams if you want, right? And then that will get you to not want to consume cannabis because you'll go, oh, I want to continue the dreams. Try to train yourself how to enter a dream state, right? It's cool. Index. Canada has implemented a mandatory three-day hotel. Stop over for citizens traveling from out of country. Yeah. They are charging well above market rate, roughly $700 a night. Even vaccinate people like me are required to stay in these hotels. It seems more about punishing people than protecting people. I haven't seen my family in over a year and still can't because of these punitive measures. Yeah, index. Look into it. It's, they can't legally hold you, right? There are people who are breaking that, right? They're arriving at the airport saying, no, I'm not going to get tested and I refuse to be put in a hotel and they go home, right? Be careful. This is not legal advice. This isn't anything on that level. Do some research, right? And I think it's more than about punishing people. It's about creating a new normal in their sense, which is a power grab by centralized government and whatnot. But we can talk a lot more about this in the current event stream tomorrow. This already has put us on the sensor to watch, like this 30-second thing that I said that if it wasn't a two hour video, most likely it would not be allowed to be loaded on the sensor to, right? So, but I think this live stream, the addiction is important to load on there. Ronnie, I should reach out after my big exam in a couple of weeks. Football team. I will be the goalie. Ha ha. The misery says 3000 BC. Yeah. Making money off people's miseries at 3000 BC. Centralized power. I agree. The amount of biking. Ascendants. Ronnie, yeah. Road shared with other big cars is scary. Indeed. Yoshi, I shall see you later, gents. Adios. Adios, Yoshi. Send our best to beast. I'm scrolling down game. Brando hits. How are you doing? Bad habits are my addiction. I am on a journey of weight loss and doing boxing, cardio training. I love boxing, but I am not actually boxing like taking hits or blows to the head. The training without getting hit is amazing. Indeed, Brando hits. I have a family member that does boxing training. He trains people and he goes to the boxing gym as well. Boxing gyms are one of the best places you could go to to get motivated to do exercise. Right. And yeah, I wouldn't be into getting hit as well. My only addiction is watching your streams. Putin roaster. That's not an addiction. That's a passion. I'll be like a corporation. Scrub, stinky scrub. A little wise men. Everyone here. And women, of course. Right. I'm the fight. Fate. I am addicted to the strife of achieving or experiencing stuff. I make up in video games too much. Video games. Brando hits. Hi, Chicho. I meant to say laziness is my bad. Laziness is your bad habit. That's something I used to procrastinate in the past. And there are certain things I still procrastinate on very little now, but it's not laziness. It's not something I've had to deal with personally. I've known people though that have that laziness. But they're not. Surprisingly, there are things that some of the people that some people might consider lazy that they're very passionate about and they're hardcore about it. They're not lazy at all. Right. So maybe laziness towards what society offers. Jeon Sook. The dreams with quitting weed is insane, insane sanity when I got jailed for two weeks for breaking stuff because I couldn't control myself without nicotine. I was laying there and having dreams like were like real, wild conscious. So everything going on around me is that normal to be able to experience kind of had me worried. Yeah, yeah, that's normal. Cannabis suppresses dreams. Big time. Once you stop smoking cannabis, your dreams will go through the roof. We'll go through the roof and they're amazing to experience. Right. Brando hits. That's awesome. Bojo master. I ride a Sim Wolf 125. Riding is great, but my advice is to anticipate everything on the road. Yeah. You got to watch. If you're riding a bike on the road, you better have eyes behind your head. You got to be aware of everything around you, everything around you. If you're zoning out while riding a motorbike, riding a bike, might as well consider yourself dead. If not sooner than at some point. Round nose. She told my boxing teachers, special education, adaptive PE teacher, but she used to box in the amateurs. She's such a wonderful lady. Awesome. She's so kind, like teacher kind. So she's probably kinder than me, brother, probably kinder than me. And that's one thing I found out. People who box, who are actually getting out that energy are tend to be very, very gentle on the faith. I tried some, she gone lately around the, around once 15 minutes and 30 minutes, some weeks later, heavy breathing practice that counts a lot into life quality. Everything is connected to breathing somehow and the entire organism. What would you do without hot air? Stinky scrub. Yeah. I've had crazy dreams after quitting her. Yeah. I find that my motivation comes in spurts. Building the habit of routine is more, more what I need to do. I don't know how many times I was motivated, but didn't follow through. Yeah. Brando has famous last words for many people, right? Look into how Jeff Lemire is a comic book writer. I think it's Jeff Lemire that put this out. Jeff Lemire is a comic book writer and he's a prolific writer. He's done multiple projects. He's a Canadian comic book writer, one of my favorite writers for the last few years. He does amazing work, right? And he put out a couple of articles or at least one article where he talks about having a regiment of doing work where he has a routine where he goes in and closes a door and does the writing and world creating. And I think Bendis does the same thing. So for sure, you have to have some type of routine in your life if you want to be productive, right? Like for me too, I've had the motivation to do certain things and it comes in waves and I don't, if I don't hop on it right away, that goes away and I've got to wait until the next way for me to hop on it to be able to generate whatever it is that I needed to generate. The way I manage that or I take advantage of that behavior that I have, I have multiple things going, right? So I have multiple things going and when one wave is down, the other wave is up, I can jump on this one until, you know, do create this, wait until for this one to pop up and then jump on that and do it and have multiple ones of these. Sometimes you've got no choice. You've got to jump on that wave and force it up, right? Intrepid. Chicho, don't want to answer the question. I'm convinced. Which question? Intrepid. Intrepid, where's the question? Where's the question? Where's the question? Intrepid. Where's Intrepid's question? Did you put Chicho in front of Intrepid? I didn't see it. Let me know what the question is. I'll try to answer it if I can. I don't know. Brando Hitz, my teacher has her edge. Ha-ha. Boxing training helps with my anger issues, indeed. Yeah. John Zuck, one dream I had. One dream I had a dream. I had a daughter and it made me want to cry waking up for the day and being in there. You keep thinking of it, almost like it was actual real, not a dream, but it made me realize how much my parents love me regardless of my crappy actions. So grateful they still put out with me after, after, after it all. Yeah. John Zuck. Brando is Jeff Lemire. Thank you, Chicho. My pleasure. I'm pretty sure is Jeff Lemire, Brando Hitz. Okay. I'm crappy with names, so hopefully I'm not confusing it. Oh, God. My wooden dummy is a great help in my continuing battle with stress relief. I used to, by the way, a gang. For me, I, I have, we had two big boxing bags. Our family had. And for multiple years, I used to have a big, the big boxing bag set up at my house and I have the gloves. I still have the gloves are beaten down. You know, the, the tighter ones with a finger sort of stick out. I had two pairs of those and we used to, you know, try hitting a heavy bag for three minutes, dripping sweat, right? So the feeling is amazing and you feel energized, right? That's 89 B2, Chicho. Since you seem to have a lot of knowledge with natural product, do you know a website you could recommend that give accurate information about natural products and their benefits? Example, eat this if you have abdominal acidity problems. Thanks for your help. My to go to site is Irowid, right? But Irowid is leans towards more of the entheogens, but it has medicinal plants on there as well. So Irowid is the place where I get my information and the site is spelt like this, Irowid. Okay. Aside from that, just sites that talk about herbs, plants, gardening, right? I'm pretty sure Cheryl has some advice. Eat this if you have abdominal acidity problems. Like for me, acidity, if you want to deal with acidity, I would say yogurt. Yogurt is good. Rice, like for me, if I have, if I want to give my tummy a nice break, like my tummy loves rice, yogurt, potatoes, starchy foods, right? So and meats and everybody's different. That's the thing does, right? You have to sort of experiment, but be cautious with experiments, right? Brandoids. Taken from Wikipedia, Jeff Lemire, Canadian, is a Canadian comic book writer and artist. He's the author of the title, including Sussex County Trilogy's Sweet Tooth and The Nobody. His work in the 2010 includes all new Hawkeye, Extraordinary X-Men, Moon Knight, and Old Man Logan, Superboy, Animal Man, Justice League, and Green Arrow for DC, Black Hammer for Dark Horse. The Black Hammer universe is amazing. Descenders and Plutonoffer Image and Bloodshot Reborn for Valiant and Bloodshot Reborn, phenomenal, phenomenal. Ascenders is amazing. Descenders, I've read one issue, but Ascenders, amazing. What else? Animal Man, amazing. Moon Knight, amazing, amazing. Heavy Bag will really work you compared to Shadow Boxing. Yeah, Heavy Bag is amazing. Different. Heavy Bag, I like better than Shadow Boxing. I didn't like Shadow Boxing too much. Bujo Master, I kind of feel like Chicho is the wildest old man that the protagonist climbs up the mountain to go see. I'll come down, but no, I would say I'm the guy in the middle of the mountain going la la la la la. Feeling your fist connect to an unyielding force is completely humbling, completely humbling. Any plants that help with dry eyes, dry eyes, I don't know. If Cheryl's still here, she might have some suggestions. Greck yogurt pump, my acidity to the top. Really? Thanks for the website. My pleasure, my pleasure. I know one thing for real. I will never use a machine for traveling except as a passenger. It may be a limitation to me not being a driver. Cool. I love the organic Greek yogurt soothies. Soothes the stomach. The best for me with any meal. Yeah, it does for me as well. I believe there are currents in the universe. Eddies and tides that pull us one way or the other. Some we have to fight. Some we have to embrace. Unfortunately, the currents that we have to fight look exactly like the currents we have to embrace. The currents that we think are the ones that that's gonna make us stronger. They are the ones that are going to destroy us. And the ones that we think are going to destroy us, they are the ones that are going to make us stronger. I'll broskey live. Hello from the Netherlands. Hello, Netherlands. How are you doing? Hope you're doing well. I think honey is even good for the eyes. Really? Oh, I have heard that. One thing we do for the eyes that we used to do if you get itchy eyes and stuff. I don't use teabags, but I have teabags, right? And one thing you would do with and black tea like Earl Grey and stuff like this is make tea and then take the teabags and then drop and nothing else just Earl Grey or orange people like green, even green tea. Tea drops some of the tea in your eyes and then put the teabags in your eyes and lay back. That's something that our parents used to do when we were kids. I haven't had to do it for a long time. I just haven't. But that soothes the eyes. Look into it. Grandma Remedy, Elder Remedy, we are all of the fate of our choices. Basically, Elder God says, yeah, should we give you the blue flower? I'll be in the middle saying, would you like some? Would you like the wave rise? Cannabis. Eat honey, eat honey. Abrowski, Chicho, if you had to pick one, what do you prefer? Chicken nuggets or chicken tensors? Are we talking fast food places, junk food places? I would do Chicho's chicken barbecue. So delicious. Bojo Master actually found your YouTube channel a while. I remember you were making some herbal tea. Herbal tea is better. Herbal tea is good. Herbal tea delicious. Cheryl, I will post some resources later. Awesome, Cheryl. Das, thank you very much for the Twitch primes. Gang, thank you for the follow-ups and thank you for the subs. Apologies if I'm missing them. I just usually try to stay on the chat as much as I can. Jonzo, Chicho, have you ever discussed before organic versus non-organic foods? Do you think it's worth purchasing organic 100% excluding local or organic regenerative farmers like food corpse? Sorry, I have the question makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. We buy local food local as much local as possible, right? We go for organic as much as possible. The nutrient value of organic food, in my opinion, is a lot higher than the nutrient value of non-organic food. Okay, and the organic food doesn't have the pesticides, the chemicals, the hormones, and all that jazz that big corporations use to grow food, right? If you can grow your own food in your backyard, fantastic. We get our chickens from our friends that are raising chickens right now and they're nice organic chickens and they're, or eggs and they're organic chickens, I guess, nice organic eggs and they taste phenomenal, right? And we barter for them. So yeah, CSA, local farms, the best you can do for your body. Your body is a machine, it needs fuel, give it jet fuel, right? Salut, Albrowski, but if you have to pick one nugget or tender, if you have to pick one, if I had to pick one, what's the sauce? What sauce is coming with what? Cheryl, ginger, licorice, caraway, and chamomile are all good for stomach acid issues. Mint should be good as well, yeah Cheryl? Some people get relief from, oh some people get relief from mint, but for others like me, it makes it worse, really. Mint tea is usually really good for me. And ginger tea, yeah, ginger tea is amazing. I just include a lot of that stuff in my diet anyway, so maybe that's why I don't get stomach acids and whatnot. Jeonzook, our instinct for food is taking over our addiction, addiction conversation, I love it, nice, this sort of, Bojo Master Bill Gates have been buying all farmland and trying not to get everyone else to eat synthetic media, yeah, yeah, indeed. I'm waiting for my pizzas. I've seen my total degree on the local foods, can't wait to go to the farmers market after this stream, so good, so you got farmers market on Wednesdays, that's good. I am buying grass-fed, yeah, grass-fed beef only gang, grass-fed organic foods. I have been buying chicken breast, wild cut salmon, I eat in moderation, and spinach, quinoa, I have been food prepping for snacks, yogurt, cucumbers, heirloom, tomatoes, nice, and almost very nice, extra virgin olive, very nice, very nice. The only thing, I used to eat a lot of salmon as well, a lot of seafood as well, unfortunately, I'm more hesitant on the seafood front, just because I know what we're doing to the oceans, and it's reached a point where I'm like, man, I'm starting to get very hesitant on seafood, share of food, especially quality foods and herbs, can play a huge role in an overcoming addiction, addictions as well, yeah, indeed. Jeon Zook, I agree, swear, I could feel the pesticides affecting me in some way when I had rice and beans of non-organic, I feel living, but dead, I don't know, if that's me thinking it though, and true growth for us. Yeah, for me too, like, for me, I can't, yeah, anyway, you know how I feel about the organic stuff. I'll be asking Chishol, whatever sauce you want, sir, I'm just curious if you had to pick overall, which would it be, nuggets or tenders? I'd pick the tenders, the tenders that are longer ones that are battered, deep fried, and like this, yeah, I'd pick the tender ones, because nuggets are more processed, at least the tenders look like chicken, right? And what kind of sauce? Blue cheese is good, honey, honey garlic, hot mustard honey garlic would be good. Man, now I want deep fried chicken, God dang it. Grow a forest, I'd pick a couple of mint leaves, leaves chew on one and shove another one in my nose after doing pull-ups and dip up, what? A serious grow forest? Brando hits, I am trying to lose weight, I decided not to take a medical weight loss. One reason they require shakes, have sugar and saccharine, okay, brando hits. One thing brando hits, like I've gone, I went through a heavy phase. One of the two things I did to, that made me drop weight, speedy Gonzales stop, I stopped eating big meals at two o'clock in the morning because I was partying, would go out and after eating, right? And reduce my alcohol consumption up the yin-yang, totally dropped it off. Stopped eating at two o'clock in the morning, like big meals like Chinese, Szechuan, like seriously, at three o'clock in the morning, and reduce alcohol. Crafter, how you doing? I've been eating soft food for eight weeks, it's hell, soft food, uh-oh. Cheryl, in fact, I chew licorice root pieces when I was quitting cigarettes, helped with the oral fixation, cool. And silly putty to keep my hands busy, wow, wow, especially in heavy traffic, really Cheryl. I've heard that keep the hands busy is really important for cigarettes. Oh my God, strangely I'm currently watching your video set on math and real life. The farming CSA said very, ah, very cool, I'm very proud of those videos. We put on a mathematics of food and farming videos a few years ago, I don't know when we put them out, I don't know now, like 10 years ago, and they're fantastic, I'm very proud of those. Ivan's, wow, yes Ivan's, I like your shirt, thank you. It was a gift from a friend from like 20 years ago. I'm scrolling down to see if there's anything. Randolphus, I decided to lose weight, eating organic and clean, a routine exercise instead of rapid weight loss, that medically supervised diet will work for for some. I am in a financial pain, so I am choosing not to pay it, and have a tight budget, so I am eating clean, awesome brand of it, and that is the best way to lose weight slowly, so your system doesn't go into shock as well, right? Be careful, right? Ronnie, you guys talking about eating healthy? Well, I'm here eating junk food. John's like, I don't know how, how anyone could nicotine with non-organic food? It's crazy, I eat organic veggies, and it's opposite in terms of how I feel like, feel like I need to smoke. Cigarettes is very speedy, very speedy. Oh yeah, by the way, gang, here's my snacks. I got more of the roasted, this one is roasted sesame seeds on this side, with chocolate, not roasted but pan heated I guess, let's see if I'll focus really close up, is it gonna do it, is it gonna do it, I don't think so, I don't think so, is it doing it, is it doing it, is it doing it, it doesn't want to do it, oh there it was, there it was, there it was, there it wasn't, super delicious, this is what I made yesterday for 420. Organic pumpkin seeds, heat is stolen in a cast iron with oil and salt, and then organic dark chocolate chips for baking, heat up the sesame seeds, and this one's sesame seeds, sesame seeds in the pan, add salt when it's ready, take a plate, put a layer of the sesame seeds or the pumpkin seeds, pour chocolate chips on them, organic, dark, and then put another layer of sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds and you get stuff like this, you get this delicious goodness, no I won't do it, it's too not bright enough, too bright in the back, that's super delicious, yeah a lot of energy, tastes great, and I made it, makes me happy eating food that I made, I know exactly what's in it, no preservatives, a spectra shot, I've started consuming only air and water and my waking loss has been incredible, unfortunately you only stay awake for you know 30 minutes a day because you got no energy, I always have the need of chocolate near me in the house, yeah I like having chocolate and nuts and seeds around, grow force, dark chocolate, cocoa powder mixed with macaroon gives you long lasting energy, very nice like herb chocolate, dark chocolate, dark chocolate, yeah yeah no not herb dark chocolate, just dark chocolate, when I order out I always worry someone with mess with my food, yeah brando hits, I never I have worked in restaurants, I've done deliveries at pizza deliveries and for restaurant as well, I've done some prep cooking when I was younger for restaurant, I never sent food back, gang just a suggestion if you go to a restaurant and whatever you order is not to your liking you can complain about it, you can say hey it's not to my liking, maybe they'll take off a little bit off your bill but don't send it back, I wouldn't send it back, I don't send food back, even if it's the wrong order, well wrong order maybe it's because someone else might have got my order so that might be a confusion, so I prefer to make my own food, I want to put a brando hitro, have you seen the film Waiting? I don't know, I don't think so, I can guess what is about though, more doc too, I mean if you order chicken breast and it's uncooked, yeah if it's uncooked for sure, for sure but if it's not your liking, oh I ordered the steak, it's not raw enough or medium enough or well not enough, you know the pasta is not good or what, if it's not cooked, yeah for sure, I mean if you got pink in the middle of the chicken you're cutting, you want to send it back, right, brando it says I will bite the bullet and eat the food, maybe scrape off the top there that's cooked and leave the rest and say look man the inside is not cooked, blue storm, any thoughts on dry herb vaporization especially in health effects versus smoking weed, yeah I only vaporize, blue storm, if you're here doing a 420 stream yesterday, I don't smoke anymore, I haven't smoked for a number of years now, just vaporize, just vaporize bud, that's it, no mixtures, no chemicals, no shatter, no oil, none of that jazz, nothing that's processed, just bud, yeah you can eat three kilograms of potatoes a day, oh my god, brando has, there is a scene, gross, comedic, of what happens when you send food back, it stars Ryan Reynolds, uh-huh, spectral shot, how are you doing, I ordered a steak medium rare and it was well done, I sent it back and they then they brought one that was completely raw, I didn't order a steak from that place again, that cracks me up, knowing I've been around the service industry for a long time, I had lots of friends in it, I did a little bit of pizza drying when I was younger and being in bars and restaurants you hang around after hours and stuff like that, it cracks me up, the guy didn't, thought it was, thought it was too well done, not run up, yeah there, just eat this, too funny, it's like walking up to the DJ and saying, requesting a song in the middle of his sentence, hey man can you play this, what the, oh my god blue steak is the only way to eat it, is that what you call it, blue steak raw, funny, funny, gang, I mentioned yesterday that I might have to cut this short like uh hour and 45 minutes and we're coming on to like 12.45, so blue steak is just seared on the outside, ah okay, any advice for uh choosing a vaporizer, blue storm, I go with a riser and I'm not getting a kickback from this or anything, riser, this company, it's a Canadian company, they have a 50% sale or 40% sale, they started that sale a year ago, okay, when this whole lockdown thing came into effect, I have, I had one, okay, I had the solo, right, that I bought years ago and they had this sale, so I bought the solo two, okay, my partner has the little version of the solo, I bought the solo or two, the digital one, and then I bought another solo one because I like the analog one because I'm pretty sure they're not going to make the solo one anymore, so I have that stored in a box that I haven't even opened yet because it is the best vaporizer I've ever tried, okay, and I want to make sure that no matter what happens, I will have a vaporizer to use for a number of years to go that I love just in case, I don't like future generation versions of them, okay, they can confirm it is the only way to do it, yeah, and searing the steak, basically you want to cook the part that has touched oxygen, right, so the whole concept of searing steak, correct me on this, if I'm mistaken Elder God and other people that are chefs, but basically you want to sear it so the part that has been exposed to oxygen is cooked because that's the part that can go bad, right, and then the middle can be basically raw, right, but take with a grain of salt, I'm not a chef and I don't own a restaurant, I like your physics videos, Colombo, thank you, do you still make them or teach classical mechanic stuff, we have drop in math tutoring sessions, we're going to have one Saturday or Sunday, I believe, two hour drop math tutoring session and we've done some physics and mainly we do a lot of mathematics and my background is geophysics, so I love physics, of course, right, but physics is just really applied mathematics, so once you understand the units in whatever system you're analyzing and you know math, then you can do your physics, right, and the system, the models, the assumptions and whatnot, brand new, so once played on loop Pink Floyd track, several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pick at a bar and people would pass, but I kept my hand and I admit it, one of my guys was like this, this isn't my, oh my goodness, oh my god, you're right, Chicho, I've got a mistake, okay, it has to, one piece of meat and not, yeah, and not chicken, chicken needs to be cooked, do not eat raw chicken, if your bar has a diagonal jukebox, play dope smokers by sleep, it's an hour and 15 minutes song, really, or play God Speed You Emperor, find God Speed You Emperor, one of their tracks and play that, they're more like 12 to 15 minute tracks, but they're phenomenal, put it on a loop, I wonder why old boxers used to eat raw eggs in their shakes or beer, I think people still do, and it's a fantastic protein and good fat, God Speed You Black Emperor, yeah, fantastic, fantastic, gang, let's call this stream, how do you not get sick, you don't, you won't get sick, we used to eat raw eggs when we were kids, we break them into our rice, we put egg yolk in the rice and mix it up and eat it, delicious, I don't do it anymore, Blacklight 20, Chico, I have four math exams coming up, part of my 19 exam cram that the SQA, my country's qualification association, are trying to do for evidence for a final grade, damn, thanks Chico, my pleasure, round of hits, gang, thank you for being here, nice discussion, I'm not sure who requested

vaporizers, what's your temperature setting, I set up the digital one at 170 Fahrenheit, I feel I've been overshooting an amount, yeah, on the digital, on the solo, it has a scale of 7, I put it on 3, I'm low, I don't go high heat, low heat, low, very low, okay, I also got a nasty math exam on the 28th from multivariance, my pleasure, gang, gang, we are live streaming on Twitch, right here, that's
