As the U.S. has turned away from “the war on drugs,” many cities have sought more “humane” approaches to dealing with addiction. They’re not working.
In my new documentary, I explore just how deep-seated America's Drug Crisis has become - and how the policies we’ve embraced may be exacerbating it.

Douglas, my name is Katie and I thank you. I thank you for the humanity you gave Esther. People have no idea how horrific it is to be the families in this situation. My family is from Niagara Canada. We lived in a safe small town, my sister was severely addicted and in and out of shelters and on the streets, she is now 29 and 5 years sober. The only reason we found her 5 years ago was because she escaped a sex trafficking ring she was lured into. My grandma was just like Esther, my mom and I would take shifts. The reason she is alive today post rescue is because of family who never let go of her future. We were always grasping at it begging her to take hold of it. She escaped the fentanyl infiltration by such a sliver. We are so thankful.

I want people to also know, that if you are the family members of someone deep in this hell- you are not alone. Nobody can understand the battle you face where you wish someone was dead because they are so horrible to you, yet begging them to live and seize their humanity back from their demons. You are not alone.
@KatieScarlett93

I would also like to add, I think there’s something serious to be said about interventions. Trudeau and Regan got rid of institutions, but no real replacements ever came to pass. A good 8 years of trying to help my sister involved treatment centres - even as a minor. But once you’re 16 you can check yourself out. It is SO HARD to get someone properly formed, and it’s never long enough for them to recover. We have so many people falling through the cracks and so many are mentally unwell.

Methadone is so brutally hard to get off. Even after a 6 month taper I still got sick below 20 Mg. At 6 Mg. I switched to Suboxone. Been on it for 19 years and am tapering. Down to 1 Mg. Next week. I hate having a body that gets sick not having something. I haven't been doing really well lately but I need to not be physically addicted for my own psyche. I did better with cravings for everything on methadone. I didn't need to use. Sub just blocks opiates and I still been doing speed. Gotta stop. I'm over 50. Maybe a bullet to the coconut.Sigh.....

Hey bro, I'm so glad you got clean and healthy. But, remember that even tho methadone or suboxone may not have been great for you, doesn't mean that it won't work for others. Just as an example, I've been on subs or methadone for almost 10 years now and it completely saved my life. I'm a fully functional, successful, happy person thanks to those medications. But, again I support whatever works best to get someone clean!

When I moved to Tokyo, I was surprised by the lack of crime, the lack of homelessness, and the overall cleanliness of the city. I wondered what Tokyo and Japan were doing that no one else was, and found out that they had managed to keep drugs almost entirely out of Japanese society. Without drugs there is no drug-related crime, without drugs there is no drug-related mental illness, without drugs, millions aren't lost to addiction, without drugs, kids finish school and go on to be productive people, without drugs, homes and families aren't destroyed. People claim America's "War on Drugs," was a failure, but there was never really a War on Drugs in America. Japan's War on Drugs has been a scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners war, with extremely harsh laws and punishments. Japan doesn't do bail, Japan doesn't do parole or early release, Japan doesn't give first-time offenders a lenient sentence. If you are arrested for drugs in Japan, you will certainly go to prison, you will certainly receive a long sentence under military discipline, and you will certainly receive a lifetime record as a drug offender. Because the consequences of a drug arrest are monumental, and the punishment extreme, people don't use drugs.

For those who decry injection rooms, Sydney, Australia has had one for over 20 years. Almost immediately the needles lying about in the streets and beaches became much less of a problem, saving innocent people from needlestick injuries and life threatening infections. The users are provided with clean equipment in a safe space away from violence and harassment, pill testing and harm minimising advice. Over 10,000 lives have been saved on the premises with no deaths in this time. The charity run centre also directs users to medical, detox, and other services. As well as saving lives it has also saved the state and hospitals financially by reducing the number of emergency overdoses, deaths and hospitalisations. Check it out.

But believe me when I tell you they pale in comparison to whats happening in America right now. Metaphorically speaking, Asia/Europe aren’t even on the same planet as whats happening here. Its the epicenter of this entire issue. Its going to spread in your direction. Not the other way around. I try not to get into comparing war stories or circumstances. And that’s not my motivation in saying any of this. My motivation is to advise people to buckle up. Because this is the stuff of intentional societal endgame.

​@@Andy-wn6wm Well the continued use of drugs doesn't help these addicts either. Speaking as a former addict of many years myself I understand just how difficult it is to get sober but at the same time it is still a choice at the end of the day. I also came with excuses and sad stories of using drugs to numb my pain etc etc. I made a choice to stop because I eventually saw the damage I was causing on my family, especially my mom. My love for them overpowered my addiction, even though it took me a few years to realize that. I sat in some crack den somewhere doing my usual thing when this epiphany hit me and suddenly I realized, what the fuck am I doing here? I don't belong here. Whilst still flying from the drugs I got up, left my "friends" there and walked out, without saying a word. I went home and broke down in front of my family and asked for help. I just didn't want to be an addict anymore. So I understand that getting off drugs is difficult, I tried for many years but when I finally kicked it I realized it was a mere choice, that's it. No excuses. It's still a choice. So that's where they need to find their hope my friend, in the fact they can make a choice in a moment to do better. It will be a rocky road ahead, I relapsed twice in the beginning but I remained committed to my choice. Been clean for more than 15 years now. At the end of the day they need to find positive outlets to help cope with their pain. We all have pain, everyone has some sort of hopelessness in their lives about something. Taking drugs only amplifies that hopelessness . Every addict will tell you that if they are honest.

I’ve been a pharmacist for 30 years. There is also a definite correlation between Opiate prescription regulations enacted in 2016 when basically millions of people who were now chemically dependent were cut off from their supply. Many patients have been able to change to other therapies but too many turn to street drugs because providers have left patients feeling like there is no other option.
@pattyc7222

I’m another pharmacist of over 30 years who came here to say the same thing. But I would like to add my opinion that the government’s obsession with decreasing the use of legally prescribed opioids, claiming that as the cause of the crisis, actually increased the problem. And I think that cracking down on doctors, pharmacists, pharmacy chains, drug wholesalers, and manufacturers was mostly about the amount of money that could be recovered. The fentanyl crisis was already taking hold and was ignored for years before the press began to acknowledge the scope of the problem. So, for the sake of monetary gain through outrageous fines from people and organizations that in large part thought they were helping people, many thousands have died of overdoses and many thousands of patients have been made to suffer due to physicians fearful of prescribing the drugs and pharmacists fearful of filling the prescriptions.

Worked in addiction treatment at three different intervals, starting over 40 years ago. Treatment at one time consisted of cessation of all mind altering substances including caffeine, breaking through denial, holding a mirror up to the addicts irrational and selfish behavior as well as holding the addict accountable. Now the failed practice of “harm reduction” and pushing substitutes like methadone, suboxine, etc., which is nothing more than replacement therapy, has just made people sicker. Inpatient rehab has become a revolving door which was unheard of 40 years ago. It’s common now for people to be on their 28th inpatient rehab stay. It’s insane. Addiction is a three-fold disease - physical, spiritual and mental and treatment doesn’t address that anymore.

The best report on the subject I have seen. There is no solution except to cut off the supply. My grandfather was born, and grew up in Kensington, over a century ago and it wasn't nearly as lawless as now. Even the police don't go there. No one should be rewarded for abuse, and criminal justice has no answer. I worked in criminal justice for 33 years, and nearly everyone was drug connected in some way. There is rarely a successful outcome, even years later.

Cutting off the supply is impossible.

He's right you can't cut off the supply. Drugs should be made legal in a similar way to alcohol so the supply can be controlled and taken out of the hands of organized crime. It's not going to solve the addiction problem but it would make the whole situation a lot less horrible.

I'm willing to bet that allowing nutritional food in our country would solve at least half of the problem. People do drugs because they want to feel good, and they don't feel good because our food is sh_. Mandatory radiating of all produce kills the vitamin C in it, as well as who knows what else. Americans are extremely vit C deficient. Also current mass farming methods don't produce food with adequate minerals. A certain almond type can kill cancer, but the tree is outlawed in the US. Pasturized milk doesn't "do a body good" either. We cook the milk to kill the bacteria that produces yogurt, then add the bacteria in again to make the yogurt, as with all other dairy products. It's insane reasoning. Create a good effective health product and you'll be hearing from the FDA and FBI. I once had a molebdenum suppliment that helped me. I ran out and ordered another bottle, but it was worthless - didn't help at all anymore, so I left a bad review on Amazon. The company that produced it told me the FDA made them change their formula. Our leaders don't have our best interests at heart, and it's interesting - or should I say "predictable" that they don't really want to stop this drug crisis. They want us dead.

Pretty much the best post I’ve seen on here, it will be a problem as long as criminals supply the drugs.

I know two musicians and one of their wives who were poisoned by laced cocaine in Los Angeles earlier this year. They were world famous and the world was shocked, they knew thousands of people collectively. We all felt sick. They were just having a casual Tuesday night hanging out. And not one media outlet, especially in the music scene they were part of, used the opportunity to call this out, to bring awareness. It was all just RIP and news that they died. The headline should have said they were POISONED. That dealer should be charged with murder, but nobody said anything of the sort. They aren't the first friends we've lost to fent around here, but they were the most famous. The days of recreational drug use are over. The risk is too great.
