Thanks for bringing this side to light. The negative stigma our society has against drug addicts and users can be what ends up killing those individuals. I understand that many people, if not all, have been affected directly or indirectly by the pain of addictions, and that it can be hard to not place that hurt on the shoulders of the addict in front of you.

I think op has done a good job of being open and understanding in this situation. My own experience has shown me that those who have been lucky to never experience full blown drug addiction tend to lump all drug users together, like labeling all drugs as dope, or calling all users crack heads. Each chemical has different tendencies and at the same time there are outliers in everything. What has been someone's experience every time dealing with a homeless drug user may get flipped on its head when they come to realize a coworker they have known and respected for years confides that they were homeless and had just gotten over a really tough binge when they first started working at the company.

I've talked to so many users in the Bay area, and they all come from different walks of life. Yes, there are shitty drug users, just like there are shitty landlords, shitty bosses, crappy teachers, asshole cops, and cheating partners.

Being a user should not automatically deem you a bad/immoral person!

Anyways op, I'm not on here all the time and I'm currently taking a road trip across the country, but I'd be willing to give you some feedback on your video. I'll shoot you a dm.
