New Macklemore song on - Big Pharma, drug abuse, opioid epidemic, the lifes it all destroys
    #23771524 - 10/25/16 09:14 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)



I found it very emotional and relatable while watching the video. His acting portrays the hell addicts face all the time, especially that "These drug addicts DID NOT choose for this to happen" The lyrics, the sweat and torment on his face :makesmecry:

I doubt the song will get big.... fuck the USA imo :feelsbadman:


Oh and anyone who disses Macklemore, imma find you and make you muh bitch :creepylurker:

Damn, that shit was too real, literally tears in my eyes from this. Great song.

"I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous, no options, exhausted, this is not what I started"

That shit really got to me.



Macklemore is definitely one of the realest writers in the rap game for sure, songs like this and Other Side are just so real and accurate, you don't even have to like the song to like the song because the story is just so good.

It's definitely one of his best yet! The raw emotion and he's a pretty good actor, though obviously he made his real emotions and experiences surface for the video!
I like how he mentioned alot of the recently died celebrities names.... might make people realise even more :hahthatsrich:

yes but it's also bullshit, doctors dont get you hooked on the drugs, you do that
yourself. my mother had the same bottle of hydrocodone for 3 years, the bottle said
"take as needed" and she did, apparently she only needed only about 10 per year, why
are so many people addicted to these drugs? because THEY CHOOSE to abuse them, not
because big pharma made them do it, not because their doctor prescribed them and
macklemore fails to place the blame where the blame belongs, on the drug seeker

no, she made a conscious decision not to abuse pain medications, alcohol and other
drugs, I've done the same thing. I love many drugs but I'm very capable of simply
not buying them and when I do have them, choosing not to use them

Prescribing oxy to people who dont know what it is and take it because they trust their doctors and then start realizing that they can't follow the dosage instructions because of cravings isn't their fault.

Don't blame the fish for swallowing the hook, especially when a person you should be able to trust told you to do it for your well being.

I just had a hip replaced, I got prescribed Oxy for the pain.  I only took it at night so I could sleep.  That shit is seriously powerful.  During the days though I went through intense withdrawals, I had no idea that's what was happening until I went to the Dr. and asked why i was sweating so much during the day and couldn't eat and felt like shit.  He told me i was experiencing opiate withdrawals and that this is how people get addicted.

I am lucky that I don't have an addictive personality, I HATED feeling the way i felt throughout the day and knew if I  took an oxy i would feel better, but didn't because i didnt have as much pain throughout the day.  It was so crazy & I can see how easily people can become addicted so easily who have less will power.

I really dont know what else I could have done for the pain at night, so I don't blame the doctors at all.  You just need to be responsible about the shit and use it only when you need it.

I think he means that when people get into drugs, all the see is the fun/positive side. They don't realize the darkness that they could get into (and sometimes eventually do without knowing it until its too late) when they're just starting out.

When he says "this is NOT what I started", he's probably referring to this. It probably started out as fun and games, but now is the complete opposite. A friend of mine was addicted to Xanax at the beginning of this year. He took it for his anxiety and sometimes for fun, and he always had a good time on it. But then the addiction set in and life slapped hard in the face with these realizations.

Doctors do need to educate people more. The authoritarian thing of not telling people things just because they "don't have time" or we don't need to know is a rampant problem in modern healthcare.


I have an addictive personality but when I need pain meds I should be able to take pain meds and be responsible for myself. If I abuse them then I live with the consequences of addiction and don't have them when I'm in pain again. I have a problem. The doctor treats my problem. I abuse the treatment. That is MY problem.


It's like blaming walmart for selling airduster or your HVAC guy for putting freon in your AC unit or your pharmacy for selling robitussin. You could always just not take it. But that doesn't happen when you're in pain. Because its a pain medication and thaaaats what it does.

You would be extremely surprised. The word opiods doesn't say what meds contain opiods.

EDIT: I have to come back to this.....  Really Pris? We live in a world where most people can't even use the words there, they're and their correctly. Opiods isn't a word that comes up often in regular conversation.

No he's right pris. I've mentioned the word opiates or opoids in normal conversation and people look at me like I'm speaking some foreign druggie language.

Which I hope everyone knows common names like oxycotin or vicodin but the less common ones? I'm sure some people think tramadol is totally safe because it's not a true opiate


I think a whole lot of problems could be solved if we focus all our efforts on making people less dumb. I don't like being assumed dumb or a junkie that can't be responsible for myself when I need a pain script but I'd rather be assumed dumb knowing they assume everyone is dumb rather than be assumed a junkie and everyone is assumed a junkie.

just because someone doesnt know the term opiod or narcotic or even analgesic
doesnt mean they dont know the effects or benzos and pain pills among all the
other drugs, you kids are welcome to have the argument on whether someone knows
a term or not, here I was speaking on a class of drugs, not the term

Cringey? Do you have the emotional mind of a 11 year old?  :thatsayes: Also, why is it making you uncomfortable that somebody is trying to convey meaningful messages via music? Genuine question. Or I'm I just going to get a "lol, he jus thinks hes so intelligent and what he is seying is jus so obvious. u get so muny artists trying to make enintellgent music now. tey make no impact whatsoever"?
Perhaps some Lil Wayne or Soulja boy for you?  :high5miss:

Some people have addictive personalities and the one's that don't will
never truly understand the addicts thought process.

I do not have an addictive personality, but one of my buddies does and he
has to try very hard to abstain from stims like coke or pharmaceuticals.

I can do coke with him and when the bag is done, it's done for me. For
him, it's a travesty and he has like a mini panic attack and feels like
he needs to find more right away.

I come from a family of drug addicts also so supposedly I am predisposed
to addictive behavior, but I can truly stop when I feel like it with no
adverse mental reactions to stopping. Others just have a hard time, and
although I do not understand it, I still know it's a thing because it
is much harder for him to stop than it is for me to stop, so there has
to be something going on that makes it so difficult. Possibly something
outside of their control.

Also, some doctors act more on self interest than others and will most
certainly continue prescribing meds even when the person shows definite
signs of abuse. I've seen it with family and friends alike.

A big part of the problem is people are taught to blindly trust doctors, take whatever is prescribed and not do their own research. This leads to people getting hardcore drug addictions literally without even knowing they are taking an addictive drug because the doctor said it was fine and they didn't even bother to do a google search before taking the whole script.

lol man, wtf do you think people go to doctors/the hospital for? thats exactly what they're there for, what are you saying lol literally no one goes online and finds out EXACTLY what their problem is, diagnoses and treats themselves at home, and goes on living their lives. Diagnosing yourself with "what you think you know" from the internet is dangerous, most of the time people are extremely wrong and think its a lot worse or not as bad as they think it is.

I'll only agree with you when you're saying that Macklemore is blaming the doctor for being "the drug dealer". I mean, I personally think he's just saying that because its a clever way to get his view across ... but think about it man, if you had broken bones and were in a lot of pain, or whatever they prescribe this strong pain medication for, what choice do these people really have? If you're sitting there in pain every day all the time, and you know these pills would help you take the pain away until you're healed up, would you not give in and take them too? Like other people are saying, some people have addictive personalities and fall in love with the pills. They take it for the pain first, and then it becomes something else. Its not that these people are "dumb" and "should know better", its the fact that these people don't have very many other options to deal with their pain, and its unfortunate that the drugs take hold of them.

But besides all that, I think this song is truly for people who are either already trapped in their addiction and can extremely relate to what he's saying, or for the people who are seeing it happen to someone close to them, maybe the song will give them inspiration to step in and do something by giving them a peak at the horror they experience.

Yeah the only thing worse than a dope fiend is some that thinks they have a right to legislate themselves between a person and a doctor, or a person and the drugs that they knowingly like.

It just bothers me that some people think that drug addicts deserve what they get, like they LIKE that shit happening to them. A drug addiction can COMPLETELY blind you to whats actually important, and it can COMPLETELY blind you to what the fuck you're even doing.

My buddy had a bad Xanax addiction at the beginning of this year, and no matter what we told him or did, no matter how much we tried to show him that what he was doing was wrong and fucked up and that it was literally gonna fucking kill him, he'd just keep doing it man. It's what he felt like he needed to do. People get SO attached to these drugs (especially painkillers, mental or physical), and I bet if you asked basically any drug addict who was still somewhat in their right mind about what they were doing, they would most likely choose to not be like and to never have started in the first place.

I mean I am all for taking away trust in doctors, and educating people about the dangers of drugs, but the real danger is trying to put people in jail for what they do knowingly to their own bodies.

I didn't read but I thought it's another good PSA, catchy and heartfelt. If you've been addicted you can understand that cold sweat glaze having a warm shower do basically nothing . Idk I thought it was a good PSA,not that we needed it but big Pharm's is one of those things that really does kill people

lol man, wtf do you think people go to doctors/the hospital for?  thats exactly what they're there for




many go to get treated for illness or injury, others go in order to try and get
drugs, there are countless posts on this site by drug seekers, the doctors arent
you parents, they arent your drug intervention officer from school. you knew the
drugs were not something to casually abuse. why does the doctor have to tell you
in addition to everything else you should have been listening to

no, he's saying it because he's a liberal fuckbag that wants to lay the blame on
others instead of pushing for personal responsibility. I broke my ankle twice, the
first time I was offered a scrip for hydrocodone, I declined, the first thing the
doctor asked was if I was a recovering addict. it's funny how it all works, if you
want the drugs then you're a drug seeker and if you dont want the drugs then you
must be in recovery.

Doc: "on a scale of 1-10, how bad does it hurt?"
drug seeker: "28"

if I were a drug addict that would be 100% true, I have the potential to be a drug
addict because I love the effects of some drugs such as meth but I'm also smart
enough to understand that meth is addictive and because I like it I need to avoid it.
that also holds true with benzos, opiods and several other drugs. I did pay  attention,
I even learned a lot of it from the people here because I see so many people here
trying to kick benzos, heroin and other nasty shit

you're probably one of the very few, not many people can dabble and not get at least somewhat hooked for a bit
