Addiction is a tough life, not only on these people but the families they have left behind

I grew up in Kensington in the 60's and all of these vacant stores along Kensington Avenue were once thriving small mom and pop businesses. People took pride in the neighborhood. Wish most here could of seen what it looked like. Now, it's really dirty and filled wid drugs and lost souls. God help these young people, I pray that they are able to find a better life than this.

When I was a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s here in the UK, all we knew about America was what we saw on the TV, shows like The Waltons, Six million dollar man, Dukes of Hazard, A Team and so many others. I was fasinated as a young child by this vast exciting country but cannot help feeling we were lied to.
Was America ever like the dream?

I just went to Philly last week, for the first time in my life. I saw a guy like this in subway early morning, I thought he was just hangover or sth… tbh I didn’t feel safe walking around(only within the safe boarder my frds told me), and there are many police in center of the city. It’s quite surprising how it could be like this.

Never understood the point of doing a drug you can’t stay awake to enjoy 🤷🏻‍♂️

DO YOU KNOW WHY WE ARE LOSING THE WAR ON DRUGS IN AMERICA? There this strip club here in Las Vegas, Nevada that is not a strip club but more like a TRAP HOUSE! And what is a TRAP HOUSE it a place where you walked in there as a normal person but come out as a DRUG ADDICT! Let me tell you what happens at this strip club so you and your family don't fall for this TRAP. Most of the strip club close to the Las Vegas strip are good, there nothing wrong with those but there this one strip club just a bit outside the Las Vegas strip. THAT PLACE IS A TRAP HOUSE! Right when we got to the strip club, I felt something was a little bit of. They only have one other table that have customer. EVERY TIME THE STRIPPER WALKED BY OUR TABLE EVERYONE IS HIGH AS HELL! THE STRIPPER WAS WALKING BY OUR TABLE AND AT THE SAME TIME RELEASING SOME KIND ON DRUGS IN THE AIR!! THE DRUG IS AIRBORNE!! RIGHT WHEN I SAW THAT I TOOK OF MY JACKET AND COVER MY NOSE AND MOUTH RIGHT AWAY. WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT BREATHE IN THAT AIR!!! Sang Ho the person that came with us see me covering my nose and mouth with my jacket, all night would ask me if I want a lap dance from one of the stripper. I say "HELL NO" BECAUSE I KNOW STRIPPER WOULD GIVE ME A LAP DANCE AND RUB SOME KIND OF DRUG ON ME. Security see me covering my nose and mouth with my jacket and refusing all the lap dance from the stripper, started surrounding me. Evey five minutes I got to get up and change seats because I did not want security to grab me from behind. I know they can't do anything to me at that strip club because it was MY OWN COUSIN THAT LURE ME THERE! But that how it is in the Vietnamese Community, they go around PRETEND TO BE YOUR FRIEND, PRETEND TO BE YOUR COUSIN BUT THEN LURE YOU AND TRY TO GET YOU ADDICTED ON DRUGS. AND IT NOT JUST THE ASIAN COMMUNITY THAT LURE YOU AND GET YOU ADDICTED ON DRUGS BUT ALL RACE!! So don't let you and your family fall for this TRAP BECAUSE WHERE EVER THEY HAVE ONE STRIP CLUB LIKE THIS IN AMERICA, THEN THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE!

[arthurrichter]

I just can't believe this place is real... Unfathomable

[MinhNguyen-hsmf]

They say every generation have there great story teller and I am the great story teller of my generation. And I am going to be one of the greatest story teller to ever live because the stories I tell can save you and your family from a life of crime, humiliation and DRUG ADDICTION! And I do have a lot more great stories to tell and I hope my life stories can save you and your family from a life of DRUG ADDICTION.

What happens to anyone who dies? Do they try and track down relatives, who can organise a funeral. Or does the city pay for it?

[rumham]

I’ve seen plenty of these videos but it’s still shocking every time. The amount of people slouched over. The amount of garbage. As a New Jersian I’ve been to Philly countless times throughout my life for different things. But I never even knew this part existed. Even the regular part of Philly has that city/Philly smell. Can’t imagine what it’s like here.

[pomodoroc]

Filthy rich one day, broke and locked up the next.

[danutag]

Jezu to straszne Ci ludzie opadają z sił jakoś tak ich wysztywnia pozdrawiam z Polski i życzę zdrowia dziękuję za filmik muszę powiedzieć że pierwszy raz coś takiego widzę to jest straszne i smutne

[candismith]

At 1:40 of video it clearly shows a young girl very much pregnant and definitely high. This makes me so sad and mad at the same time. That child will be born addicted and go through horrible painful withdrawals. Am praying that child will be taken and raised by a loving responsible family. Lord have mercy

[SevernyiMedved]

people take drugs to forget that they live in the USA, to forget that the аmerican dream turned out to be a sand castle, )

[smegmanimus]

I don’t get how anyone can’t inject this shit into their veins knowing that is bunk
