Pretty scary cops jobs basically are way more complicated than even they realize and them doing the easy quick thing all the time ruins thousands of lives because we can't be bothered to be sure or clear of anything
Welcome to capitalism - Profits over People!
Got a drug test down at our local MLK BLVD when I was a teen, many moons ago, and while I was there because my foster mother caught me smoking pot in the back yard...
The test came back positive for opioids.
I'm not upset about a failed drug test from around 20 years ago, or upset about anything, really. I'm just not shocked that nothing seems to have changed.
Adult now without any drug addictions, but the fact that I may have used heroin when I was 14, stayed in my childhood records until I was 18.
Did me no wrong, in the long run, but what a thing to have over your head as a child without a "normal" safety net.
"nothing seems to have changed" as if this video is ONLY about recent events, lol
i was lucky enough that i received a drug test in a medical facility when i was being accused by my mother of stealing my her opioids when she was having delusions. i wasn’t, but she convinced everyone that i had. however, the test says in large print at the bottom that the tests can always be skewed and may be inaccurate. my mother used that line to further justify “my drug abuse”. go figure
I love these informative animations. But they're bloody scary! Keep them coming please!
Well, they are obviously going out of their way to make everything sound much worse than it really is.
This is insane, and utterly unsurprising given the idiotic mess that is the American judicial system. After all, why help someone when you can hurt them?
Oh dude, the history of crime testing shit is bleak as all fuck. Should read up about the first computer based fingerprint reading and comparison tech. One of the companies that could show verifiable data their reads were accurate used stored data from convictions from the previous 30 years or so and discovered how many were not just mistaken (close), bad (far) and fraudulent. Facial Recognition Tech is the new frontier of bogus evidence that exists to bypass scrutiny, it's fucking garbage and everyone who is pushing for it has a history of skull measuring and race science. Shit can't tell the difference between you and a coat rack let alone you and any given person.
Why help them when you can profit from them - welcome to capitalism!
It's just tough love. Like, really tough. Like, the kind that would normally land you in prison if you were a regular citizen. "Why are you making me do this to you, Janet!?" Kinda love. Ya know. It's for your own good.
Drug tests don't work that great. I've passed so many that I shouldn't have. It's like a running gag
late 90s i got a dishwasher job at a hospital kitchen. I was stoned while I peed in the cup and passed... at the hospital.
I got a false positive for THC once and it could've ruined my life. The pee collector started grilling me. I was shocked, panicked, and begged for any form of retest. Then the guy flips and says, "okay, it's not worth it. Tests are wrong sometimes." So I was fine, but what was the effing point? Might as well have a witch finder see if we sink or float when we're tossed in a lake.
The justice system being screwed up is part of why I took AP Criminal Justice back when I was a kid. If I was a teacher instead of my job at a nonprofit I'd see myself using some of the videos like this one for my students.
Hey, remember when you fired your entire video content team? I do.
Sure, but then they just completely shut down, and then later a fan was like "Hey, do you mind if I take over and start making stuff myself". So I wouldn't hold it against the current people.
@@han090I haven’t worked here since February 1st, 2023 in any capacity whatsoever
I lost a job to a bad lab test. They said I came back dirty for nearly every drug on the test. 1/2 of them I never heard of, but it was $300 to retest the same sample and I didn’t have money. Life went extremely downhill after that and it took nearly 10 years to get fully caught up
That "i'll take every brand you have" felt like something Detective Grimoire would say
Hell yeah cracked animated stories. The animations are but rough but I love it.
Animations not the illustrations (drawings)
Looks like Winston Rowntree drawings, he does subnormality. He has done art for them a lot, but pretty sure the animation is by someone else?
Agree on the Animations. I was Drawing Better than this back in the 8th Grade and was offered my own Comic Book. I turned them down because they wanted it Church/Christian Based and I wasn't into Christian Based Stuff at the time. This is Pure Shite!
I agree. I initially was going to criticize this due to the animation however after giving it a chance I called it off as the quality of the rest of the production is absolutley good enough to compensate
name a cracked animation video that wasnt in this style
they have always looked like this for years.
@@koviyovas8325 don't ask the critics to know the channel history, theres a joker complaining how they fired the good writers for diversity on their community post. 😂
I've heard of the poppy seed bagel thing. I saw two stories years ago about mothers who got their newborns taken from them because they ate an everything bagel before they gave birth and the rest claimed they were on heroin. They got the babies back eventually but still.

As a Cannabis Sciences and Therapeutics Certificate Owner, the only way it being THC vs. just Cannabis makes sense is most Cannabis products have both THC and/or CBD in them a lot of the time.
In most states where Cannabis is legal (like Illinois or Arizona), I'm guessing they'd run additional tests to see if it's a THC focused product or CBD focused product. migraines
Nabilone is the new treatment for PTSD & migraines using a compound that only turns to THC in the brain, and *is never THC in tests*

To mention that cracked is made by literal artists who care about content. This goes beyond just watching stuff when Netflix doesn't have anything interesting. The closest thing to the amount of entertainment I get from cracked is close to anime as a whole that includes berserk
Is Cracked paying you? Because I wouldn't trust that, they don't have the budget for it. Clearly.
Yeah the production quality has gone down majorly, not attacking whoever worked on this on a personal level just saying cracked has really fallen off
This is a joke right? Or you worked on this skit. There is no other explanation
@@whateverwhatever4026 no I just have an opinion that doesn't coincide with the apathetic generations of today. Hating media or being overly critical isn't a personality trait. I like cracked and that isn't going to change no matter how miserable and irate people become

Law is stupid
Which makes sense when u think about how we put the dumbest most corrupt people in charge of it. Narcassistic psychopaths do not live in reality so how could a delusional lunatic craft functional laws.
the cases of Annie Dookhan and Brandy Murrah add quite a few layers of scepticism about lab testing...CSI this shit is NOT
$2 kit, nope. More like $100 according to how they bill the court. PLUS it goes to FORMAL LABS before court. So if road test is false the formal labs show otherwise.

Wellll that was worse than I thought

I was hoping I wasn't the only one hearing that!
Yeah, but I recorded and produced this back in January 2023. I have not worked on a Cracked project in any capacity whatsoever since February 1st, 2023.
@@Drjordanbreeding Oh well, at least we got to hear you on Cracked one more time
@@obsessedwithguitars3157apparently!
Why would it matter if something is legal in a state over? Its still illegal where you are. And it's illegal federally. Don't get me wrong, I say ALL drugs should be decriminalized. But you're not helping by being as nonsensical as them...
Also, yes, itll show the overall "family" of drugs, and then you can do further testing to narrow it down. In other words, itll show something is an opiate, and you can do more testing to see if its heroin, or fentanyl, or morphine, or whatever else. They don't need to determine which it is on the street to make an arrest, because all these things are illegal without proper prescriptions....
If anything you should focus more on how often these tests show false positives. Or false negatives. Both are a huge issue. Especially for law enforcement that don't know any better. Ffs, do a video on how many cops have "overdosed" simply by VIEWING what they THINK is fentanyl. Theres a real problem too. People are so sacred, they talk themselves into panic attacks, from seeing something, and that gets mislabeled as an overdose, adding to the hysteria.
Again, just decriminalize everything already. You can still charge people for the crimes that stem from the use, like public intoxication, or driving under the influence (although that needs reworked too), or theft to support habits. But the actual use shouldn't be a crime. It causes way too many issues itself.
Capitalism doesn't care about what is right, only about what is profitable heh
That seems logical, on the surface. I don't think it would change anything, though. Firstly, we would have a huge problem with the safety, purity, etc. of the substances. We would need lots more governmental oversight because you can't just manufacture and sell any old thing that could harm someone. You can't even sell cookies without jumping through a lot of hoops. Secondly, even if drugs were legal, there is still a cost (actual cost to manufacture and distribute, overhead, plus profit) and someone will be motivated to undercut that cost. Having some substance available legally doesn't mean there isn't a black market demand for it. Like in CA, where Marijuana is legal, there is still an incredible amount of crime related to Marijuana. 5 people were just killed in San Bernadino County 2 weeks ago over a cartel territory dispute, and that kind of thing is pretty constant. In OR, where even hard drugs are legal, crime is rising. I also think that a society has a right to protect itself. Having a nation of addicts would be absolute anarchy. Addiction changes the brain; for some, the brain damage is so extensive it becomes a disability. A society can only work with a limited amount of non-functioning citizens. There's a tipping point.
@@evelynwaugh4053 Some of that is fair points to talk about, other things are your own misunderstanding and misinterpretations. Firstly, we already have a massive problem with purity. I'm not saying the government can't be involved at all. Ideally there should be legal access and avenues. Like now, they're just very very very flawed. People are already dying in mass because they're taking tainted drugs because they don't really have another option. Heroin doesn't even really exist anymore. Yeah, heroin, something that's already extremely dangerous and damaging is one of the best options, and NO LONGER an option now. It's all Fentanyl and Tranq. Mostly the Tranq. And that's such a problem, medical professionals don't even know how to treat it. People's arms are literally falling off before they drop dead, with no dependable way of bringing them back. There's no where to go but up. Like I said, the ideal, wouldn't be a free for all. That's the problem in places like OR, and WA, and CA, and MN, and so many places that have just given up entirely. That's not what I'm talking about. These places are just letting everyone do whatever they want, including stealing for their habits, and doing drugs out in the open, and anything else. It's the opposite extreme and just as bad. That's what you're envisioning and that's just as wrong as the "War On Drugs". Strictly only the drugs themselves should be decriminalized, along with support systems to help people. Plenty of addicts do want to quit, but options are very very limited there too. Not to mention, functional addicts are a real thing as well. All of this is possible, but you can't go crazy and murder anyone with a problem, and you can't let the addictions complete take over and have addicts stabbing everyone for a fix. Both are TERRIBLE OUTCOMES. It should be like something like Alcohol, where you're still not allowed to do it in public. Where it's regulated by the government most of the time. Where it's much less stigmatized and people can either do it, OR quit easily with help, without most of medical professionals looking down on them and telling them they're better off just dying. Crime will still exist, because a utopia is literally impossible. But it's definitely better than what's happening now....
@@evelynwaugh4053 I gave a long answer to your comment. But it seems as though CZcams might be censoring it. Go figure. The point being it's gotta be a middle ground. Either extreme is bad. I wish I could say what I want and actually discuss this, but CZcams is a joke...
@@evelynwaugh4053so a society reaches a "tipping point" ...well I think the tipping point of so many removed from the workforce and economy in prison causes much more damage. Drugs are illegals not because of the prison industrial complex propaganda you regurgitate...but because a very high %of lawmakers invest in private prisons.
Funny how people will claim to be defending the country they love that prides itself on freedom by advocating taking freedom away from people that haven't hurt anyone, stolen or damaged anyone's property, and only crime is using a substance likely less harmful than alcohol which has caused more damage and deaths than all the other drugs combined.
Just carrying money makes you a possessor of cocaine. I've seen cops use that.

A drug test is only as good as the lab tech that reads the results. Just a smidge of weed: who cares, results=negative
I’ve drug tested all my life… :)
The last urine test I had the doctor literally watched the urine come out of my penis.

Welcome to capitalism - Profits over People!
Wait so does the fake pee work then?
It's weird they want our pee. An invasion of privacy so normal, you're a freak for denying them access. All the while accusing you with legal jargon, firing, or jail time.
Sometimes one must take a stand. Or as Gary said before he left on Friday, "No, I will not! And for the last time, Larry, I'm not stealing your damn mints!" Then added: "But I am sleeping with your dad!"
In the 1940's the supreme court found we have a right to privacy.
The current court is undoing it all... and peeing in a cup was a big part of it.
What's so weird about someone with a gun demanding your urine? They can demand anything. Because gun. Be glad it wasn't another fluid.
And the second test is... Oh wait it is meth
The drug laws in America are so dumb
This video is completely fake. His lips don't even match up with his voice. It's like they took what he was saying and completely changed it. I bet in the original footage they were discussing something completely different. And how do we even know he's really a scientist? Just because he's wearing a white coat? My butcher wears a white coat too, and he doesn't know anything about science. He actually thought he would be getting a science diploma after joining Scientology. It's like this entire video was just made by some guy who spends his day drawing cartoons.
He's wearing a white coat AND he said was a scientist. Your butcher wears a coat and says he's a butcher. It's a weird trick I use to tell them apart (although doctors hate me for this one weird trick)
This is awful. So awful. It is all strawman arguments that have no understanding of how cops and courts and convictions are 2 separate things. He even states a drug test testing for meth finding adderal (literal amphetamine salts) means that its a bad test. He also doesn't understand that selling counterfeit drugs or cut drugs is the same thing as selling real drugs and should be prosecuted the same way.
Saying that it should be important to scientifically determine an exact thing in an exact amount is not a straw man. You sound like an angry cop who tried to raid an opium den, but realized it was just a mattress store.
They are providing anecdotes meant to demonstrate how innocent peoples' lives can be flushed down the drain by a positive test due to kitty litter, simply because the follow-up test was not conducted.
Would you find that to be fair, if it happened to you? Of course not. But now you know that it can be a highly faulty process, so if something does happen, you have a better idea of what questions you need to ask to ensure you don't do hard time over someone else's laziness.
@@user-ye4bu6xh4c Welcome to capitalism - Profits over People!
Counterfeit and cut drugs should only be treated the same way if that way is not treated as illegal. The war on drugs is a travesty, and the government shouldn't be telling people what they can put in their own bodies if they want.
