You know, we always talk 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.480 on our own time about everything, and there seems to 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.319 be a problem with drug uses, a pervasive problem with 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.319 drug using. The hip hop coach gets an urban coaching period. Um, 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 I'm a product of the seven. You know. It's born 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.080 in the seventies, born in seventy um, raised in the eighties. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.760 And I remember there was a time to where you 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.480 didn't want to be labeled as a thing. That was 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.360 the most embarrassing thing ever. You didn't want to be 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.960 called no smoker. You didn't want to have nothing to 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.280 do with no drugs. You remember. At one time that 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.400 was a big part of the thing. Even the use it. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.880 They would tell you like crackers wack, we're not working 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.440 with that. You know, you don't want to be no thing. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.360 You're smoker. That was the worst thing you can call 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:11.200 the person. But now it's just invaded the whole cooture. 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.760 You've got these guys. They sound like they fall to 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.799 sleep on their tracks. Man, they do. You know, it's 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:21.239 opiates epidemic in this country, you know, as strong opiate epidemic. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.440 You know, it's a heroin the epidemic. And um, I 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.400 know in the New Orleans, for example, heroin has been 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.959 the main drug since as far back as I can remember. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.720 Everybody and everybody in New Orleans was on that. Girl. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.160 I think they've been that with that for a long time. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.280 And then you had used them with the lean movement, 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.480 all of us connected back to opious. Yeah, you know that. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.000 The strange thing too, is still like you said, I'm 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.160 born in the seventies, raised in the eighties. Um, you 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.680 know our parents. You know, at least my mom and 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.639 her her reference of drug to stay away from was 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.520 heron you know what I'm saying, from the Vietna, from Vietnam, 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.480 from the city these in the fifties and ships like that. 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.760 So cocaine was a uh, you know, there was a 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.760 party drug. There's a rich people drug. So you could 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.440 see how people my mother's age and even Big J 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.960 you know, their generation got broadsided by crack because they 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.120 didn't know what that was. They didn't know what it 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.000 was gonna be you know what I'm saying. Um, So 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.680 that's why I could never understand why, you know, my 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.919 generation or even younger would even touch some of these 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.200 hard drugs, you know, because we have reference points of 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.440 what it is, cocaine and cracking all of that. And 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.560 I remember, um, you know, I won't say no names, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.640 but you know, we all know street people. But I 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.080 remember a couple of my street cats that I that 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.119 I that I know, and I would ask them, I would, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.520 I would say, bro, how y'all still making money? Like 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.880 I ain't seen a crackhead since the nineties, really, you 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.680 know what I'm saying. And and and the nigga told me, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.560 he said, ship, he said, these motherfucker's ridding around on 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.040 these twenty sixes and and and and you know what 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.720 I mean like them? Them is them? Is the customers 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.880 right there. And I was blown away when he said. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.080 I was like, damn for really, Like, you know, so 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.680 I don't know what it's uh, you know, I don't know, bro, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.880 you know, I don't know it is the level of 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.240 mental illness. I think we're not talking about the mental 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.920 illness part of it as well. And and of course 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.279 we know what the systemic part of it is too 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.240 as well, you know what I mean. I think we're 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:25.160 still uh you know, dealing with the the ripple effects 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.880 of crack cocaine as well, because you know that ship 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.039 had tentacles. I mean, you got you know, families, you 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.120 know that we're broken mandatory minimums. You got niggas just 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.599 coming home, you know what I mean, from from them 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.800 Drake Coney and sentences and ships or fragmented the family. 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.640 So it's so many, it's layers. There's so many layers 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.400 to the issues that we see now. And like you said, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.520 it's cool to be a thing. I remember, Uh one 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.400 of my little nephews partners, he's talking about he about 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.520 to go bust ahead, you know what I mean. And 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.479 I'm thinking to myself, like ship they give you. You're 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.040 the junkie, like he on everything. He don't pe it 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.240 was he gonna lean he up, he's down, he's crazy, depressed, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.880 he's happy like they on so much ship, bro, And 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.320 that's just the culture. Unfortunately, they celebrate that ship. Watching 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.719 my parents, their friends. They was on the Molly's and 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:18.640 all that ship. The marijuana, uh, the PCP, you know, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.080 that's that was the drug back then, you know what 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:27.640 I'm saying. In the seventies, every ten years, every year 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:33.040 people find different ship, different ways to get high, and 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.839 all it did is elevating because marijuana didn't work no more. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.719 The mollys didn't work no more. Now you got uh 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.240 the lean, Now you got the uh what's the them 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.039 new pills? I took some of the more fockers before 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.479 the who there's those ecstasy? Yeah, Exstacy, I popped. I 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.000 popped like Poe Exstacy sitting down on my knees is 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.880 white levies gambling And why I'm shooting one of my 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.120 little honeys because I was so fucked up. And but 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.960 our kids today, the regular ship, the ship that they 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.080 was on back then, they don't do it no more. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.520 You know what I'm saying, I don't get you high 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.400 no more. So people are looking for what's gonna anticipate 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.480 these situations opposed to mellow them out or whatever, because 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.200 just like you said, Noring, they're doing different drugs. If 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.599 they're doing lean and drinking alcohol right behind it and 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.880 smoking weeds, so they're doing four different types of drugs 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.880 only one time just to get that that high. And 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:43.440 the tolerance level is so whack these days. They can 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.840 do it all day, man, they can. They can smoke weed. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.680 I was straight, just keep umping weeds and and some 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:54.880 of them don't even be hind. Yeah, it just gotten worser, 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.400 that's all it is. They don't. And the weed these 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.840 days is crazy, you know what I mean when you're 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.919 talking about the th C in it and just you 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.200 know how, I'm like, damn, how how are you trying 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.280 to beat? You know? Well, you know the thing it 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.480 was core back in our days. I think, um, if 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.360 you smoke some good old a good grade of reef, 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.080 you know, like they have. Monkey Paul had different, you 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.320 know strings he was running maybe about thirty thirty five 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.040 percent t C. Right, you know, you're smoking joint. You 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.000 get the giggles, you get the monks. But that's what 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.280 I'm saying. That was some good weed back then. Now 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.800 the arabage is kind of like fifty four. I've seen 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.440 fifty six, I've seen sixty, and it's like, how high 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.040 do you want to be in the thing? It was 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.000 these What's happening now is these kids are smoking so 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.360 much weed that it's like it's becoming a thing to 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.800 where they gotta smoke more than you gotta. They gotta 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.680 damn the smoking ounce just to get that same mind 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.200 instead of to where it used to be a weekend thing. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.440 You may smoke Friday and Saturday, but you know, Sunday 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.800 through Thursday, whatever, Sunday, you go to church with him 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.160 and you're business the rest of the week. And it 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.680 was just a weekend thing. Now it's a daily thing. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.160 You got people smoking joints back to back to back 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.880 to back to back, and it's like they lose the 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.840 backs of it and it's not so much weed. And 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.680 I'm worried about this. This opiates. Man, there's these opiates man, um, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.200 you know, opious. They can do a number of things. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.840 James talked about these guys mixing that lean with the 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.800 you know, the promethezine with the alcohol you can leave 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.720 to your loans, collapsing um. You know, my boy from 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.040 second to None he lost his brother like that. Man, 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.599 he just you know, one day could lapse. Man, he 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.439 couldn't breathe and he didn't make it to the hospital. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.360 He died passed away from it. Yeah, I mean, let's explore, 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.959 like what's the root of that, you know what I'm saying, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.160 Like like what's the root of it? And and and 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.960 then not only the root of it, the influence. You know, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.400 the rappers, they they influenced that. The music sets the 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.079 training for the drug of the day, you know what 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.000 I'm saying. When when Chronic came out, everybody was trying 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.880 to get that good weed. It was about trying to 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.080 get the chronic, you know what I mean. And then 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.520 you know, I remember doing the late nineties, early two thousand's, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.439 of course with the explosion of you know up north, 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.240 the Northern Cali, you know, HiFi movement. It was all 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.720 about them thistles. It was all about that ecstasy. And 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.839 then then the Moley and all of that. And then 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.360 of course you had Houston, you know with the screwed 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.559 up ship, you know, with the lean. They've they've been 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.400 doing the lean forever, you know what I'm saying with 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.480 the drink. But I'm gonna tell you something, No, Court, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.719 it just wasn't in Texas they popularized it, right they 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.880 the mainstream. But I know Philly, Ohio, and I'm pretty 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.320 sure Beckham, James every it was on that on that 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:39.240 leaning real heavy too. That Now that ain't the West 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.200 Coast thing. I never heard of it out on the 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.760 West coast, just really located, just really in Houston. To 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.719 be very honest with you, but to be honest with you, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.520 like I'm gonna be real court. I had homeboys in Philly, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.679 my homeboys in Pittsburgh, had homeboys in Ohio. It was 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.400 a thing. Because you have to remember, and I do 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.679 think that some of this stuff is kind of just 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.840 it's two coincident in it because I remember I had 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.640 asked me real bad coming up right, And remember my 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.560 mom would take me to the hospital in at one time. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.719 You know, if I had a code was congested, they 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.640 would give her a big two leader for to permit 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.520 the zaine. Mm hmm, it will be a two leader. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.079 And I remember she give me a teaspoon. Now he 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:17.640 just go to sleep and will knock me right out. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.520 But the whole leader stayed up there. It might still 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.120 be sitting up in their medicine cabinet. It was there. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.320 You know, I ain't gonna lie bro during COVID, I 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.120 called COVID. I had COVID. You know about two years ago. 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.800 I had a super bad cough and and the doctor 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.680 prescribed me that that that ship right. I can see 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.959 the appeal of it because I slept good, my nigga, 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.320 I ain't gonna lie. I slept good as ship right, 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.520 but it robbed me of my day. I can't see 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.319 how niggas functioning on it because I didn't want to 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.120 do ship like. I was actually like like a heroin 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.320 at it like I was doze and had that dophine. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.200 Now I'll be watching TV and next thing I know, 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.800 I'm not off and ship like. I don't see how 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.480 they how they functioned on it, you know. And then 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.800 I don't think they realized really the effects of it, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.800 like you said with the kidneys and even you can 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.720 always tell when these little niggas is on this because 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.719 you can't use the bathroom, they get the gut. That 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.040 was the thing with man, and you know literally that 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.160 means you full of ship because you can't. You can't, 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.679 you can't move your boss, you can't overs if you're 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.840 trying to. It's been people, man. I've heard of people. Man, 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.240 the famous people have to go get the surgery because 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.600 they they literally couldn't shipp The gotta go in there 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.800 and kind of just buy, yeah, it's open to get 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.800 get rid of all the feces and stuff, because you know, 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.560 ahead can tell it. You can go like that, Yeah, 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.199 for sure, for sure. But I mean, let's explore, man, 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.880 what you think the the like I said, the root 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.000 of this. Why why you want to get so high? 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.920 Why are they so you know, fascinated with with the 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.040 with with the drug culture. Well, we got two different 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:54.560 dynamics going on court. The first one is life imitating art. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.920 You know, people see their favorite artists doing stuff in 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.160 the biggest major thing about his undiagnosed depression, self medication. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.000 A lot of people are depressed, a lot of people 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.080 having diagnosed depressed, a lot of people don't believe in depression. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.520 A lot of people don't believe. And you want to 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.559 go get therapy and things like that. They that's I 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.600 suffered from depression off and known probably for most of 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.400 my life, which I believe was hereditary, probably up until 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.400 you know, more recent years. But yeah, that'shi, it real, 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.199 you know what I mean. You just gotta do your 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.440 work and understand what your triggers are and like you said, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:32.720 talk to somebody. That ship is ready. There's depression. We 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:37.079 live in the generation man to where people look at um, 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.160 you know, expressing your feelings. Some people, especially in our community, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.760 They look at expressing your feelings as being soft. So 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.600 a lot of people self medicate. They smoke weed, they 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.520 drink alcohol. Um. You know, you think if you think 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.200 about the pattern in the hood all day, you know, 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.080 we don't see their man. The morning. They gonna get 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.760 them a couple of grams. They stopped the spense for 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.920 get them a couple of grams. They go to store 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.640 and get them a til pact. They sit around and 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.280 drink smoke, will drink smoke. Then they may go up 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.319 with their homeboys. Their homeboys got a couple of pills. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.600 Next thing you know, they're popping the motherfucker's. And they're 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.400 not just taking these pills. They're not just taking drinking 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.200 them with a glass of water. No, all these motherfucker's 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.480 showing these pills, they courting them because each peel, like, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.000 let's say you get a Tim Millergraham oxycotton, right, that 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.480 Tim Millergraham oxycotton is built to release over six hours. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.480 It's not built to go on your bloodstream all thet once. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.920 So when you get the showing them motherfucker's and snorting them, 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.320 you're taking all of that at once, man, And what 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.440 it doesn't overloads your senses almost in where you don't 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:34.880 know what the fun is want. Like you said, you're 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.880 nodding off and you don't give a funk about nothing. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.760 That's why you have so many instances of motherfucker's just 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.199 popping the motherfucker just for no reason. Pretty much. You know, 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.760 motherucker's say something power because you are desensitized to what's 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.600 going on around you. And so we have a lot 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.040 of people suffering from the addiction and not pray healing 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.680 and help for anybody stuck on heroin. I've had heroin 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.800 addicts in my family. It's almost impossible. I've seen people 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.600 get off crack. I've seen people get off cocaine. I've 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.280 seen people start I've seen people put weed down easy, right. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.880 But that heroin, it's all It's a strong monkey on 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.760 your back. Man. It's almost impossible to leave because by 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.720 the time they started getting sick. Man, I had a cousin. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.960 It was on that ship, right and they was going 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.920 through what man, I'm talking about, defecating on themselves, man, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.480 advocating on themselves. The sweats. It's almost like they begged 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.280 you for that stuff. I had a cousin, Man, they 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.520 literally tied her up when they got her queen, like 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.160 literally her daddy got on the room, tied her up, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.160 and left friend there. He would come in their feather 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:42.600 suit and he did this for about six months, and 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.640 eventually she started getting normal. And but what are he 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.080 was doing? He would give her a little doses a ship, right, 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.600 like little doses are like um, like what was that ship? 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.880 He would give her on like taling all threes, like 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.560 lower dose medicine because you know, you could die on 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.400 that ship. M you get down on that ship. So 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.120 he would cut like a town and all three up 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.320 the four's and feed her little pieces of it and 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.160 ship like that, so she would get the little thing, 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.880 you know, so she could relax a little bit. But 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.560 then eventually he just like cut her off cold turkey 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.960 and she got clean. Man, But it took her. Once 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:18.440 he got her like that, then he put her in 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.200 the rehab because he did the rehab ship before, and 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.040 he was like, funk this ship. I'm not going to 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.320 go spend another fifteen thousand dollars for your ass to 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.360 come out and be cool. And then they want to 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.560 replace that ship with some other medicine. Because now I 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.000 was a little bit better because they have medicine like 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.440 my cousin back then, she's on the medicine. Now she 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.000 takes a peel I think once a day. She takes 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.440 a peal once a day, and she's been clean, works 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.320 a job. You wouldn't You wouldn't know her. I saw 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:44.720 when I was back at the crib and it was 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.760 kind of like, hey, there, you finally back to us. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.440 I'm so proud of you. She's able to hold a 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.120 job now, She's probably had to take that medicine for 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.160 the rest of her life. But Dog, it's better than 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.040 the alternative. But it makes me think sometimes it's like, okay, 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.320 you were place one drug with another. Somebody's still getting paid. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.240 How does this ship make it to the streets, bro, 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.120 Because we ain't got no you know, they got pelle 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.000 princes in the creative stuff like that, But I don't 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.040 think no chemists in the hood like that that's able 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.360 to figure off the pharmacology of Opius. You feel what 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.400 I'm saying, the manufacturing gills that ship is coming from somewhere, dog, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.520 and it's coming from the inside. And I'm gonna tell 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.480 you another thing too, bro, that fat and all it's 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.960 really taking motherfucker's out. I lost one of my little lost, 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.360 one of my cousin lost his son. You know, the 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.400 rest in peace, little DJ. But he wasn't on ship. Dog. 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.320 He just got him a job though. He just got 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.280 a job of the city. You know how to her 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.680 his court, we both met West boys. You get a 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.040 job with the city, you're making that forty fifty run up. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.200 You can run a four bedroom house for eight hundred 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.440 dollars a month, and that motherfucker you're doing good, you know. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.320 So his back was hurt, real bad. He went over 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.160 one of his home plays house and said, hey, my 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.400 back is killing me. Oh dog, got some for that. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.080 He took that dog, laid on with his little baby 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.200 on his cheff dog. He just never woke up because 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.120 it was fitting on. I just got our knee surgery dog. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.520 And when I was in knee surgery, it was funny 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.840 because you wake up all you remember, you don't remember nothing, 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.840 You just remember just just kind of just passing out right, 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.440 and you wake up and your knee in the first 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.560 worst pain in the world. And they got this ice 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.240 thing on your knee is properly like, oh, ship, what 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.240 the fund is going on? So I hear the nurse 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.719 one C C f cc affetting all you know, and 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.240 she ship that thing. Once she hit that thing dog 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.680 whatever it was, she didn't shake it into that thing. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.600 I swear I felt the warmthons come up with my 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.080 body almost instantly. Nat wasn't hurt, and she told me, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.359 she said, yeah, you're feeling good now, but tomorrow there's 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.359 some time to burl that knat pain heels gonna come back. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.560 That's why they tell you to get your pain medication 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.320 and ship before you even go home, so that ship 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.159 is there. And she was just think. I was in 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.240 the middle of doing my therapy. Look shine, he's like 0:17:58.359 --> 0:17:59.800 he been on my leg.

When people getting clean, it's because 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.160 they want to. I had a brother that did crack. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:16.720 He would tell you.
