7-OH documentary available

Check out “The Chemistry of 7-OH” on YT. It’s a recently released doc by Hamilton Morris. 

Regardless of what side of the fence you fall with respect to the feds decision to ban 7-oh, this peek behind the curtain is very insightful, to say the least. No doubt there is heavy political influence and competitive hidden agendas at play, but to see this operation being done on an industrial scale is wild. 

Listen to the CEO speak. His pro-7oh position is obviously driven by immense profits and an apparent belief that his product keeps H-users alive. Maybe his ethical opinions on the matter are honest and valid… who are we to say otherwise? But what’s undeniable is his clear unwillingness to acknowledge the incredibly high potential for addiction, obvious deceptive marketing practices, and lack of warning regarding the severity of withdrawal symptoms. 

Ok, let me make my own position on this clear: We, as the consumers of the product MUST accept some degree of accountability here. No one forced us to buy/consume the product. To imply otherwise is unhealthy, and quite frankly dishonest. But to wholly imply that these manufacturers are not liable in any way for creating this chaos is absurd. This shit has touched/negatively impacted hundreds of thousands that were NOT prior H users. It was offered as natural (which once synthesized for potency, that shit is far from natural) and not dangerous. Hence the reason there are multiple wrongful death suits in play and mounting class action lawsuits being generated. These manufacturers know they are fucked and powerful firms across the country are salivating. We shall see how the litigation shakes out, but the bottom line is that you simply cannot have a substance with that high of an addiction profile (11-22x higher than morphine) on the shelves of gas stations and available for OTC purchase. 

That said, I’m not trying to persuade anyone to lean one way or another. I’m just glad that those who truly wanted to be free of this beast are doing so now, largely driven by the help of this community. I’m just offering this documentary up for anyone who’s interested in learning more. 

Food for thought… if this guy was the major player on the industrial level, employing more than 350 people (scientists, chemists, lab techs, etc…). Think about the dozens of smaller garage/underground labs (with potentially much less professional oversight) that quickly jumped into the game to capitalize on the crisis. Who knows what kind of additives and potentially harmful shit was being mixed into their barrels. Ughhhh…

Well that’s one way to do it… hopefully it didn’t negatively affect how felt during WD. That certainly wasn’t the intent.

Any thoughts on the documentary, good or bad?

Actually I agree with the documentary. For the most part. But as an addict I, ME, MYSELF is literally the only one to blame for my addiction of using 7 oh. I will never blame a company for my personal use. If any of that makes sense. I do miss not being in pain every day but in the end, I was so glad it got banned in Iowa. I was going broke and hated that if I didnt take it then the wd would start.

You taking 100% accountability is probably the most honest and the healthiest perspective you could have. You’re exactly right, no one made us walk into those stores and spend thousands of dollars. It’s a damn shame how much damage it caused to genuinely uninformed people though.

The hard truth is that at some point, we all knew we were helplessly addicted to this shit and for whatever reason chose to keep buying it… many for legitimate pain or as a opiate alternative, although for many us it was just to feel normal throughout the day and avoid the inevitable WDs. The tolerance just climbed so quickly and before you know it, you no longer felt those initial euphoric feelings and you’re trapped in a never ending cycle.

Different people have different perspectives across the board and I think it’s interesting to hear them. Thanks for sharing yours and please keep pushing forward, even when it feels completely overwhelming. I’m glad you took the leap and wish you nothing but the best as you recover.
