00:31.2
So there's other morphines, so things like Tramadol, Endone, even heroin, heroin's a morphine as well
00:40.4
Like the illegal morphine is heroin
00:42.7
So yeah, it's a morphine, it's a painkiller
00:45.5
But yeah, it's very addictive, much more addictive than other morphines
00:53.7
Because it's stronger and also because the way it's delivered
00:59.0
Because it's quite quick acting, so when something's quick acting, it basically gives its effects really quick
01:03.7
But then the effects wear off really quick and that can make it even more addictive
01:10.6
So a lot of people become dependent on Fentanyl
01:12.5
So there's two main ways that people use Fentanyl
01:15.3
There's a patch, so there's a Fentanyl patch
01:18.5
Which you basically would put on every three days and it slowly releases Fentanyl into your system
01:25.0
Or there's these like Fentanyl lollipops
01:27.9
Fentanyl lollipops
01:28.8
Which is like Fentanyl lollipops
01:29.0
Which are for quick acting pain and they're really, really addictive
01:34.0
The patches aren't as addictive, but the Fentanyl lollipops
01:38.6
Because they act so quick, they're really, really addictive
01:41.0
People become addictive really fast
01:42.7
Okay, so Dutertis has these Fentanyl patches
01:47.3
There was rumors back in the pandemic days that he was using Fentanyl
01:54.6
Which is kind of ironic, but
01:58.9
Why is it ironic? Can you tell me?
02:00.6
Well, I mean Fentanyl is a prescribed drug, but it's a drug of addiction
02:04.7
It's a controlled drug which many people become dependent on
02:09.2
And to have an anti-drug policy within the country
02:17.2
But then to be using a controlled drug of addiction is kind of hypocritical in my opinion
02:23.8
Oh, yeah, yeah, I get what you mean
02:25.8
But what are the side effects of using Fentanyl?
02:28.7
Because there is an epidemic in America right now, right?
02:32.3
Of Fentanyl addiction
02:35.7
Yeah, well, what happened in America is
02:39.1
There was all the Purdue Pharma things
02:42.3
So the morphine was marketed 10 or 20 years ago as not as addictive painkiller
02:51.5
So the Purdue Pharma marketed this, I think it was Oxycontin as a morphine
02:57.5
But they said it wasn't as addictive as Fentanyl, right?
02:58.6
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
02:59.1
And they hid a lot of data and evidence about it
03:03.2
And all these people ended up addicted to Oxycontin
03:06.3
And then because everyone was addicted, all the doctors sort of panicked and stopped prescribing it
03:13.2
Because of all these deaths associated with it
03:15.6
And lots of people ended up on heroin as a result
03:17.6
Because they couldn't access the Oxycontin
03:20.7
Now, a lot of the heroin and the street drugs are laced with Fentanyl
03:24.7
Because it's so strong
03:25.6
It's easy to lace drugs with Fentanyl
03:27.4
Because it's so strong
03:28.7
It can be transported easily
03:30.5
And when you're using illegal drugs
03:33.0
Or when you're setting illegal drugs on the street
03:34.9
You're better off having strong drugs
03:36.3
Because it doesn't take up as much volume
03:39.1
So you can traffic easier
03:41.3
So the stronger the better with trafficking drugs
03:44.2
So Fentanyl is quite an easy drug to traffic
03:46.4
Because it's so strong
03:47.4
Oh, so what are the common side effects of Fentanyl?
03:54.6
Well, sedation, slurred speech
03:59.3
And then if it's used in high levels
04:02.2
It can cause respiratory depression
04:04.7
So people would stop breathing, essentially
04:08.0
And that's why when people use too much of it
04:10.6
That's why they die, right?
04:11.7
Because it basically switches off your breathing
04:14.0
So people die from overdose of Fentanyl
04:18.5
Because they stop breathing
04:20.4
That's why people die from Fentanyl overdose
04:24.1
There was a Fentanyl patient I saw
04:27.1
Who was abusing Fentanyl
04:28.9
Because quite often you'll get people coming in
04:30.7
Trying to get Fentanyl
04:31.7
Because it's so addictive
04:32.8
So they'll try and...
04:34.3
So they'll tell lies to try and get Fentanyl, right?
04:37.3
Anyway, apparently what they do in prison
04:39.8
Is they can melt the patches
04:41.9
So the Fentanyl patches
04:44.1
You can melt them down
04:45.2
And then you can inject the Fentanyl from them
04:49.1
So you can take the Fentanyl out the patch
04:50.9
And then inject it
04:52.6
So a lot of people are doing that
04:54.7
It's very dangerous to do that
04:56.3
Like I think a lot of people are doing that
04:57.1
A lot of people are dying as a result
04:58.8
So they're melting this shit
05:00.7
And then just inject it
05:01.8
Yeah, they'll melt the Fentanyl down
05:04.2
And then inject it
05:05.1
Or mix it in with other stuff
05:07.0
But the patches is already like slow releasing
05:10.7
That's just how strong it is
05:12.2
Yeah, but they want quick release, right?
05:13.5
So they want a quick release
05:16.8
How does it work, Doc?
05:18.3
If you're addicted to this kind of stuff
05:20.7
Does your tolerance increase in time?
05:24.9
You need more and more
05:27.1
The problem with drug addiction
05:29.4
Isn't so much the drug
05:30.6
As what the addiction does, right?
05:33.4
So when addiction becomes problematic
05:36.0
Is when it starts to interfere with your life
05:37.9
And have negative effects on your life
05:40.6
But a lot of people are dependent on morphine
05:43.7
And it doesn't affect their life
05:45.3
They just carry on living, right?
05:46.6
There's a lot of heroin users in America
05:48.4
Who just use heroin
05:50.1
You know, once or twice a week
05:51.9
And don't come to any problems
05:53.5
They use it safely
05:57.1
They don't overdose
05:58.0
They know how to use it
05:59.0
They know their supplier
06:00.3
So actually being dependent on a drug
06:02.5
In itself isn't that problematic
06:05.6
The problem comes when you...
06:07.7
When the dependence leads to other problems
06:09.8
So, for example, if you're using...
06:11.5
If you're injecting a drug
06:12.5
Then you're exposing yourself to infections
06:14.4
From the injections like HIV, hepatitis
06:16.7
If the risks of the drug are removed
06:19.6
And it can be used in a safe environment
06:23.1
Then the actual drugs themselves
06:25.5
Are not that dangerous
06:27.1
Are not that problematic
06:27.7
So, like, I mean, you could argue
06:29.6
Alcohol and smoking are more problematic
06:33.7
Because they cause, you know
06:36.3
More health problems than heroin
06:38.6
It just so happens that heroin is dangerous
06:41.4
Because heroin is dangerous
06:42.8
Because people won't necessarily know
06:45.9
How much they're using
06:46.8
And they can then overdose on it
06:48.7
Or they can get hepatitis or HIV
06:52.3
From the injections
06:53.2
So that's the concern
06:54.9
So if you look at countries
06:56.3
I mean, the fact that
06:57.1
Philippines has made
07:01.5
Their drug policy is
07:06.4
I mean, the war on drugs
07:08.1
Just doesn't work, right?
07:09.3
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
07:10.3
It's been shown in America
07:11.5
That the war on drugs doesn't work
07:13.0
It doesn't effectively control the drug problem
07:14.8
And if you look at
07:15.9
If you look at countries like Portugal
07:17.5
Where they've legalized drugs
07:18.8
Their drug use has gone down
07:20.2
And their harmful effects from drug use
07:23.1
You know, the deaths from drugs have gone down
07:25.2
So, taking a stringent
07:26.9
Hard-line approach
07:27.7
Hard-line approach in drugs
07:29.7
Has been proven not to work
07:32.1
The more you criminalize drugs
07:34.0
The higher you drive the prices
07:35.7
And the more crime that happens
07:39.4
You're just gonna get intelligent criminals
07:42.5
Yeah, like, you know
07:44.4
There's always going to be people who use drugs
07:46.4
You can't get rid of
07:47.2
Drugs have existed for thousands of years
07:49.8
You can't get rid of illicit drug use
07:52.1
By criminalizing it
07:54.3
Well, I agree with that
07:56.9
That's why I have a strong anti
07:58.8
I don't think the drug on war
08:03.3
War on drugs really work
08:04.8
It doesn't work at all, man
08:05.7
It doesn't work at all
08:07.8
I mean, has anyone's quality of life improved
08:10.1
Because of the war on drugs?
08:12.0
Well, a lot of people died
08:13.8
Are you sat there
08:15.1
Are you sat there
08:15.8
In an apartment right now
08:16.7
Because of the war on drugs?
08:18.3
Your life's exactly the same, man
08:22.0
The war on drugs doesn't help anyone
08:23.5
It's not an effective strategy
08:26.7
You're better off
08:28.5
Not legalizing all drugs
08:32.2
Having a more liberal approach
08:36.4
It's a better solution to the problem
08:37.9
If I'm looking at
08:39.3
Marcus's political leaning
08:42.4
He's more of a woke president
08:44.6
You get what I'm saying?
08:45.8
He's a little bit liberal
08:47.2
He is more liberal
08:50.1
He's not putting condoms in his mouth
08:52.1
No, no, of course not
08:56.7
What else did Duterte do?
08:58.3
Where he was like
08:59.3
That thing I was reading about that the other day
09:01.4
Where he was like
09:03.1
In the middle of the HIV epidemic
09:08.1
And then there was this talk about condom use
09:10.5
Don't wear a condom
09:11.3
And then he started chewing it
09:12.3
Because it was like chewing plastic
09:13.5
Or something like that
09:18.0
I can't remember the exact words
09:20.0
But there was something along those lines
09:22.0
I mean, Marcus seems to have a little bit more
09:24.1
He is a bit more liberal
09:28.1
Hopefully, one of the drugs that they
09:31.0
At least decriminalize is weed
09:35.3
What's your take on that though?
09:37.1
Yeah, I mean, criminalizing that's crazy
09:40.2
Do you have dispensary in there?
09:43.3
No, you have to get a prescriber
09:45.0
You have to get a prescription for it
09:46.7
But can you smoke weed?
09:49.4
Yeah, but still I think
09:51.7
I think it's still illegal
09:53.5
It's still illegal to smoke weed here
09:55.1
Okay, so I can't smoke weed here
09:56.2
I cannot ask for a prescription from you
09:58.9
No, you can't get a prescription
10:00.1
You can't get a prescription for cannabis
10:04.9
Medical cannabis is legal
10:10.0
For recreational use is not yet legal
10:13.2
So it's just in Canada and Washington then
10:18.7
And Amsterdam, of course
10:20.6
Man, last time I was in Amsterdam
10:22.1
My dad ate like three cookies
10:25.9
He was in there like
10:27.5
Yeah, Amsterdam, it's all legal
10:29.7
But yeah, I mean, criminalizing cannabis
10:31.6
Is kind of crazy, right?
10:35.2
You don't want to fill your courts
10:36.7
With cannabis users
10:37.7
Like, why are you doing that?
10:39.0
What are you doing?
10:40.2
That's not the job
10:41.2
Why are you spending money in court?
10:43.2
Why is the government spending money
10:44.7
Criminalizing that problem?
10:47.7
Who got busted for weed, man
10:49.5
A lot of people are hating on you
10:51.6
Because according to them
10:53.4
You don't know nothing about politics
10:58.2
Don't you know that
10:59.3
Doc Adam actually treats people
11:01.3
With addiction, you fools
11:03.0
I am medically trained
11:04.7
To manage drug dependence
11:06.4
Moron in the comments
11:12.5
And all the evidence
11:13.9
Shows that criminalizing drug use
11:16.5
Leads to worse outcomes
11:18.3
Just read it, man
11:19.5
This is why I'm having a hard line
11:22.4
No Duterte administration
11:25.4
They have shit policy
11:27.0
When it comes to drugs
11:28.1
They just fucking kill people, man
11:32.1
It has been proven
11:33.8
Throughout the centuries
11:35.4
That criminalizing a hard line
11:38.0
Approaches on drugs
11:39.5
Look at the 1990s
11:44.0
What's it called?
11:46.3
The prohibition of alcohol
11:49.3
So whoever is saying it does
11:51.4
Do some reading, man
11:52.5
I'm happy for anybody
11:53.9
I'm happy for anybody
11:55.4
To Nico's channel
11:57.7
On the criminalization of drugs
11:59.4
Do you want that?
12:03.2
Yeah, I'm happy for anyone to come on
12:06.8
What you actually think is good
12:08.1
About running around
12:09.0
And shooting people
12:18.4
People use drugs for a reason
12:20.3
Like criminalizing them
12:21.6
Is not the right thing to do
12:25.4
This is the most passionate
12:25.9
I've heard you, bro
12:26.9
This is the most passionate
12:29.0
We can set that up
12:30.5
I'm not having an argument
12:32.5
Because I'm not even talking
12:34.7
I'm talking about
12:35.5
Criminalization of drugs
12:36.9
I don't care about politics
12:38.2
I don't even read about
12:39.6
Filipino politics
12:40.9
I'm just talking about
12:43.0
And it's not served
12:44.8
I haven't seen any
12:48.8
We can set that up
12:51.9
I'd love to host that
12:53.8
So if somebody wants to
12:54.7
Come out and debate me
12:56.1
I'm gonna set it up first
13:00.9
About the drug war
13:02.7
Would you like him
13:03.4
Would you like to debate him
13:10.6
Yeah, whatever, man
