“The first time you do strong opioids will be the peak of your life” The best anti-drug message I’ve ever heard.

Never thought id hear "Lets inject some heroine together" from the kurzgesagt voice
@HeisenbergFam
"its the dumbest drug to ruin your life for" Bro woke up and decided to be brutally honest
@freddydaK
I'm a social worker and have worked in addiction counseling (I visit my clients on a weekly basis in their homes) for seven years now and can say that this is by far the best explanation and prevention video I have ever seen. It's straight to the point: You have this one unnaturally high peak, and everything has to compare to this for the rest of your life. The ultimate hijack of your brain. And that is the tragedy of every heroin user.

My uncle got off of fent. About 5 times. The 6th time he tried to stop and relapsed, he ended his journey behind a walmart dumpster. He was an incredibly smart person, he just made a mistake. Get help guys. We will miss him forever
@akaHarvesteR
'you will never feel this good again' hits so hard. That was the most powerful, honest and comprehensive argument I've ever heard on why hard drugs are a bad idea. Growing up we just hear 'is bad, forbidden', which to the right age group, could just as well have been said as a dare. But knowing you will have a lifetime peak feelgood experience, that can never be had again, and to which you will now measure everything else in your life... Honestly that sounded absolutely terrifying. This video should be pinned to the top of YouTube, and left there.

I was found OD’d in a dark parking lot by pure chance back in 2015 and I never look back. I feel very lucky to be alive since that day, it’s been 10 years 🎉
@Nana-fe3ym
As a teacher i would very much love this published in danish so i can show all my students this incredibly wellmade video. Thank you once again for your brilliance.
@TheWingsco
The entire part after injecting heroin to "This will be your peak life moment - forever" really hits hard. It is beautifully animated, almost like a meditation and the unbiased honesty really made me comprehend on an emotional level why heroin is such a dangerous drug. Scarred for life by happiness with an experience you will never ever reach again.
@Marie_3
I genuienly appreciate all of the past addicts in here sharing their story because it adds a whole other level of warning to this video.

I am an ICU nurse in the US. Everyone should watch this video. Thank you, thank you Kurzgezagt.

as a recovering fentanyl addict, this video is 100% correct. i wouldn’t wish fent withdrawal on my worst enemy, and while this description of withdrawal is technically correct it’s something that i and many other addicts feel you couldn’t possibly understand JUST HOW AWFUL it truly is, unless you’ve been through it and experienced it yourself. sending love to any of you who find yourself in the constant battle that is recovery, and to any of you who are even considering trying any kind of opiate: seriously, just don’t. not unless you’re ready and willing to die, or be forced to keep living but wish more than anything that the drug could just take you out because death truly has to be better than the kind of life you’re trapped in. recovery is always possible, and no one is EVER a ‘lost cause’ no matter who says you are! if i can do it, you can too <3 my tolerance got so high that i could use over 100x the “lethal dose” in a single sitting and still not even get any high or nod whatsoever. seriously. any of you can do this, i know you can <3

As an ex-IV heroin and fentanyl addict for over 10 years, I completely approve of this video. It is extremely accurate, with the descriptions spot-on. The things you are willing to do, your morals that you are willing to suspend in the search of the drug is unimaginable. Anything you've ever said that you would never do, under any circumstances no longer applies. I have now been sober for a little over 10 years and still think of it daily, how I wish I could be pain free. I feel that this will never go away and that is something I will struggle with for the rest of my life. Thank you for this video.
@coryhobgood
I OD'd in 2016, my best friend saved me. A couple of months later that same friend OD'd alone and died. This addiction gave me heaven for a second and then took everything else from me. I miss my friend, so much.
@kuri7154
Even without all the physical harms, just on a pure philosophical level the mere idea of "The next few minutes will be the happiest you'll ever be in your entire life" is enough persuasion for me to stay far far away from it.
@niklastorshagen6365
I'm an old heroin addict (Clean for 10 years) and this was the best explaination of it I've seen. Kudos!
@idkwuisp7626
The fact that anyone can feel pure euphoria and bliss once for a few hours and then never be able to replicate that feeling ever again, is what makes hard drugs so terrifying to me. How is one supposed to live life after that one trip? When you know nothing will ever live up to that feeling?
@kickless7776
I'll be honest I'm young and never thought about doing drgs but I always said maybe trying it a little wouldn't be too bad but then never again. But this video helped me understand that millions of people all say the same thing and that's why they're all dead. It's a dangerous mindset to have "only a little" and today now I know this, so thank you
@matrixlag4074
I have never seen a better explanation for addiction to opioids before. This is exactly what its like. I have never touched Fentanyl but long ago I was hooked on Methadone and this is exactly how it was. I hope anyone watching this, learns from it. That high at the beginning may be nice. But its absolutely not worth what it will do to you. There is nothing worse than being a prisoner to your body and addiction. There were times when I would envy everyone, just because they were free. No matter how bad things in life got. They could just run away and like in the wilderness if they wanted. But when you are hooked, you cant. You live with a countdown clock above your head. Always counting down to when the pain will begin. Its a horrible horrible way to live. You lose everything from it and everything you loved before that made you happy, no longer matters. Its a living nightmare. DON'T TAKE OPIOIDS. PLEASE DON'T ( I appreciate the likes. If my little comment can help even one person stay away from this stuff then it will be worth it. I dont want anyone else losing everything over these horrible drugs. So thank for helping my comment be seen)
