I think they should've also interviewed the friends and family of the users about how well they're functioning. Heroin users aren't always the most reliable narrators so it would've given a more balanced view.

I was a āfunctioningā IV heroin addict for 5 years. Iām now 3 years sober. Recovery IS possible. No high is worth losing your life. My heart is with everyone whoās still struggling with this addiction. Itās a nasty, very intense and brutal drug.

I dont believe that only 30% of users get addicted, that seems incredibly low...

I was a āfunctioningā addict for years, until I wasnāt. I eventually lost everything and my life continued to spiral out of control. I have 9 1/2yrs clean now! I never thought I could make it. I am living proof everyone deserves a 2nd chance!

Respect to the woman doing the second interview when she was sober and able to give the other perspective. She didn't want to give the world the wrong impression about her drug use.

I was a heroin addict for 15 years. A lot of that time, i was down and out, on and off homeless, countless rehab centers... y the end i finally became a "functioning" addict. I thought thats what i always wanted, to have a home, pay my bills, and still get high. It still affected my mental health and physical health and relationships, and i went to rehab yet again a year and a half ago. Ive been off it now since november 2022, and my life has drastically gotten better. Idk if ill ever go back or not, and i hope anyone still struggling finds a semblance of peace š¤

I started taking heroin since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.

When I was in active addiction, my dealer "opened up shop" on the corner at 6:00am sharp every day. The dope boys were out from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm every day no matter what. And because I was strung out, my happy ass was parked on the corner at 5:50 every morning. While I was waiting for the boys to come out, I'd look around at the other people sitting in their cars doing the exact same thing I was doing. I'd see emaciated homeless people, I'd see cars with college bumper stickers, I'd see construction workers in their trucks, I'd see men in suits in their BMWs, I'd see girls with their sorority letters on their back windshield, I'd see mini vans with empty car seats in the back. I always wondered which ones were absolutely spiraling like me and which ones were still functioning (for now)

I was a functioning heroin user for yearsā¦with wife and kids and half million dollar house. I canāt nail down the day it happened but my life was suddenly no longer manageable and there was no turning back. Even with absolute disciplineā¦it always catches up with you.

Makes me so sad. I lost my brother to a fentanyl overdose last year. He hated that he was a drug addict. He did crack because it was ābetter than going back to dopeāāit was laced and it killed him. I miss him so much he was so misunderstood. He was clean for 6 years before relapsing. I love you Charlie ā¤

I used to snort heroin to deal with a chronic back injury that i was too scared to allow them to operate on. It started with pain pills and when i lost my health insurance, I could no longer afford to go to my pain specialist.i was a functioning addict, i always had a job, took care of my children. I am almost 6 years clean and sober. Sobriety can be achieved by anyone who really wants it and im.always praying for those still stuck in that vicious cycle! Godspeed! ā¤

My old friend considered himself a functional addict. He followed 3 rules: never spend money you need for other things, never use needles, and never go to work high. He broke his own rules, eventually. He still maintained a job working in schools with kids for years. He had friends, a band (he was a very talented guitar player) and even girlfriends, but none of it ever seemed real to him. He was really bright and one of the funniest people Iāve ever met. His father died and left him some money, and his mom kept control of it so he could not spend it on dope. But he got a job and used his paycheck for drugs. Eventually he killed himself, so sad.

I was never functioning as an addict. I was a homeless junkie for MANY years. My family and friends disowned me. Not to mention I was also smoking crack. I am proud to say I've been sober for 4 years in February. My life is completely different and I'm so thankful everyday I wake up and no longer have to live this lifestyle.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

IĀ“m a bit disappointed that you didn't interview people that are part of the very successful Heroin Addiction Treatment programs they started offering addicts in Switzerland, and in several other European countries. There's a lot of successful stories to follow up there!

Fun fact: fentanyl isnāt nearly as common in the UK as it is in the US. Itās near impossible for US citizens to get heroin anymore. Itās nearly fully replaced with fent. Which is likely a part of the reason this documentary was filmed in the UK.

āIt feels like warm blanket safe and secureā Iām going to make sure my daughter feels like that so she never turns to drugs to get that feeling š¢

To hold a fresh psilocybin mushroom in one's hand is to possess the very nature of oneself. Their beauty meets their potency.
