  1. The states will put up a web page and have a 1-800 number which will cost them close to nothing and pocket the rest of the money like they do with all the money they get from the cigarette companies.

  2. I leave rehab (tarzana treatment center) on Friday to a sober living. While I'm in sober living I'm going to attempt to work at homedepot then volunteer at a sheriff station. I want to become a sheriff deputy despite my addiction. Wish me luck because I am homeless and will possibly recieve transitional housing from Kaiser. While I receive the help I will hopefully have a job to pay for the housing afterwards and start my career in palmdale CA sheriff department. I have to be 2 years sober, a recruiter told me so, so that's what i will do. I have about 20 more months left to fully commit to the department of sheriff's

  3. This isn’t going to do anything. People are hopelessly divided, alienated, and hopeless. And from what I’ve seen, we aren’t coming back from that.

  4. One thing I've learned in Treatment for Addiction in rehab is that "you will always have the temptations, the urges, & the thoughts to use again but all you have to do to keep your sobriety birthday is never act on them".

  5. What about people that are psychologically disabled and need to be on medication for life? They are not addicts. They need medication and some are very intelligent but have major depression and anxiety disorders. You can't just change people that have psyche disorders. You can only manage their symptoms to varying degrees! People generally don't change. There is no magic wand. What is this religion nonsense? There is no god. I went to 12 years of Christian schools over 50 years ago. Who buys that crap anymore? There are no miracles. Only someone delusional would believe in that.

  6. I too, agree with RFK Jr. Make our mental health better. I see the results of not truly treating the mental side of addiction. Thank you, for this video. Throwing pills after pills are not working.

  7. ADDICTION/ S …..finally people are talking about it …..this is a very serios subject s …..educate people very young and take it seriously……as your life depends on it ……because it does ….that Nordic model that mister RFK talks is the best ….I have my own addiction list that I am talking about with others out there just to be aware of it , educate and tell people ….just because I care .

  8. Please put your partisan politics aside and listen to this message. Mental illness and addiction and a failed health care system are destroying all of our families.

  9. I love him and his vision. I hope the people in charge understand that rehabs and mental health facilities are limited to care for people with state insurance programs as well as the substandard care they provide. I pray this changes too. To MAHA ❤🙏

  10. Pray for our leaders! Drug addicts look for something outside of them to fill that lonely hole inside of them! I'm in a lonely room addicted to the internet. I believe people have an economic incentive to keep me vaping. I believe big weed and tobacco is trying to poison me! The Indian Hill Ranger said THC causes anxiety and paranoia it's a fact, people think the cops are chasing them who normally use it when the cops knew everything before they did it! My high school pot head friends saw it as a conversation when they got pulled over for high driving, like oh hello the police man would like to chit-chat about his day I wonder how it's going! Logan threw his bong out the window when his dad tried to have his local law enforcement agency arrest him for it. He was on the run from 6 Forrest lake police cars and he rolled down the window and threw a $250 bong out, shattering it before the police could talk to him. He said it wasn't his bong after he did it.
