My issue with PsychedSubstance

"by no means is he actually supporting anything close to harm reduction.”

D you have an idea how many people have purchased drug safety test kits directly as a result of my videos? I do. After speaking with a test kit company I learned that directly as a result of my videos THOUSANDS of people have purchased test kits. How many potential lives have these video's saved in regards to spreading awareness about the increasingly dangerous "drug scene?” Maybe they’ve saved none. But there is a chance that the videos have contributed to people spreading the proper information and safety around their drug habits. And if that is the case, then it was all worth while.

Let's look at another fact - through being "entertaining," even though not everyone will agree with the approach - I have reached a wider audience than most people who try to spread harm reduction alone.

It seems people would rather watch an entertaining video and learn, than watch a boring purely fact based video and learn. Who would have thought?

Are my videos perfect? GOD NO!!! I'm never totally happy with any video I make. I'm very hard on myself. I strive to constantly create better content and it's a constant learning experience. However I have come to understand I will NEVER please everybody. And that's okay. I'm primarily writing this response to let you guys know I take all criticism I receive and do my best to learn from it.

Am I the best person to be making these videos? I don't think so, I wish someone smarter than I am would step up and start creating this type of content for people. But I am all that I have. No one is forced to watch my videos. I feel honoured and privileged that so many people seem to be enjoying what I've been doing. I honestly never thought anyone would watch my videos. So for that, I am very thankful to everyone. And the more popular they get, the more of a responsibility I feel to only spread the most accurate information I can :)
