They should show these interviews to high school kids. It would be effective at getting them to reconsider drugs
That’s what prevented me from doing drugs after a film I saw in 7th grade.
That wouldn't change anything.
7th grade
@@cozeeetv me too!!!
Good idea..although, teens tend to believe they’re invincible lol
He is ON ONE. Dude wasn’t even there. I’d love to see an actual interview where he’s lucid and able to respond
Seems like more than meth or he hasn’t slept for days n days….
@@Alexandria250 Yep! The lack of sleep as a result of the drug use ends up being more detrimental than the actual drug.
@@thatschickenthat word: detrimental 😂always makes me sad😢
The interviewer for a job said I'd be "DETRIMENTAL to the job."
you are just a egotistical brainwashed victim,LOL.
Yesssss omg let her come down first ! Duh is crystal meth your drug? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is so tragic. I grew up across the street from Maxim and he was one of my childhood friends. He was never the nicest nor behaved kid/teen but knowing him as a child and seeing that this is where life has taken him breaks my heart. I hope his family is able to see this video and get him some help. I wish nothing but for him to find the strength to get sober. I am grateful for this channel and this interview, it can help so many people and bring light to those who are uneducated when it comes to drug addiction. Thinking of you Maxim.
Then send this to his adopted parents. Don’t hope they would see it. Don’t think about him, help him!
What’s his last name? He has so much potential in life! ❤
@@queenofjamrock7811 they have been sent it several times I'm sure. This video was posted onto our town's social media pages.
No he doesn’t; you’re delusional and do is he
It’s not her job to do that
I’m 8.5 months sober from Crystal Meth. Watching this kid struggle to put a sentence together is heartbreaking, but it’s also a great example of the reality of active addiction. I really hope he finds a way out. Thank you for this video. It helped me stay sober today.
Hope you're doing well. Hugs from Italy.
Well done!!! Been there alcohol and pills clean 6 years with God's grace
Too sad my best friend didn’t survive, he suffered acute intoxication. I was trying to help him but had no idea he was using meth. I thought he had schizophrenia. How stupid I was not to see it was drugs. Today is his birthday, he would be 41
Stay strong..stay away from triggers and others who do meth. And, hopefully you have things to look forward to (to keep you busy and work towards something) otherwise make some plans /goals!! Best of luck to you..
@@romanzmlv1458
You’re not dumb.
When people that are doing drugs/ addicted to them, you won’t know until they start getting messy and making mistakes. Or when shit starts going down because troubles starts to follow you around when using meth.
And, there’s no better liar than a drug addict.
It’s not your fault, it’s not your doing. Sadly, it was your friend’s. You weren’t to know, especially if you weren’t involved in the drug scene that he was.
After a while you’re not talking or dealing with your friend as you knew them. After a while, you’re only talking to the drug. I hope you are getting some help with your grief/pain from losing your friend and I hope you are ok.
And if you’re not, that’s ok too. Sometimes we all need a little help with our problems in life. Take care and be kind to yourself.
He could model , he’s striking to look at.
How sad he’s so lost 🥹
Hopefully he’ll find sobriety and live life 💙
I was thinking the same exact thing. He’s beautiful. So sad. Hope he’s able to help himself and turn his life around.
Oh absolutely, he is very beautiful. I hope he sees that in himself 🥹
Great idea 💡, now he cold get the place he'll find all the drugs that he could imagine 🙄😒
@@ManuelLopez-vo5qpyes I think the modelling industry is probably a dreadful hell to be honest
Omg Stop seriously; he’s a mess; his body is a wreck; look at his hands; he’s so strung out; stop with this modeling ish, he’s needs Years of getting sober and counseling
He reminds me so much of Rebecca. Such brilliant minds encapsulated by addiction. I pray he gets the help he needs before it’s too late. Please interview him again, Mark.
That’s exactly what I was thinking too. I really hope he accepts help, same for Rebecca. 😢😢😢
OMGG i was literally think that.Hope all is well with rebecca
I was thinking the same thing! And I miss Rebecca. I hope she's okay!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s very sad.
Oh yes! Very similar affect!
I have a son his age. As a mother who wishes nothing but the best for her son, this breaks my heart. Someone please help him!
@@GoofTroopTroonGoonCoonPoon you are evil,amen!
It’s the hardest thing to help a child with an addiction the only thing to do as a mum is buy a little home in the country where your child can not only get sober by a clean healthy food away from temptation
He's from my area and is my son's age. It was too close to home & hurt a bit more than most of his interviews. I saw this just before my son moved to LA. I was a disaster worrying about my son. He is back in the area thankfully. I can't imagine the pain & worry his loved ones must feel. I wish I could scoop him up and heal him with a mother's love.
Other can help, but you mostly need to want to help yourself, from yourself and change your life around. If you don’t want to change, NOBODY can literally help your downward spiral
I lost two sons to Meth. Horrible drug, horrible damage to the brain. Anyone who cooks should face life in prison NO CHANCE FOR PAROLE. Maxim tore my heart out, moved me to intense sadness and yet hope in his recovery and chance at a good life. Heartbreaking. I cry for you Maxim. And your families.
Hugs to you🌹! I lost my older brother to meth! His body is alive as for now but his brain and soul are pretty much gone! It’s nothing shy of demon possession!
Hugs to you both - I lost my older brother to meth and it’s just the most evil drug…so damaging. ❤❤
@@twodots9403 XOXOXOXO
I am so sorry for your losses. how tragic and sad.
@jennifergannuscio6086 it is causing quite the mental health crises in this country. So sad 😢
Mark has become a pro at interviewing intoxicated people. Kudos to him for expanding his mind and life's work to teach us through his videos❤
Aaaaaamen 🙏🏾
@ aromify it takes emotional intelligence to ask a question and remain stoic and nonjudgemental when dealing with a human that is visibly emotionally unwell...
Kinda boring...@@VideoKilledTheCZcamsStar
Ugh hard to watch him struggle. I remember that feeling and difficultly of just getting words out of my mouth. So thankful to be sober now. I hope he gets help.
Me too! I remember saying random stuff like him "hey siri play 2000s pop" and not even having a phone. Im Grateful to be sober
@@rudyc.1305 awwww glad we’re both sober!! 🙌🏼💗
Meth made it really difficult for me to talk. I was on it for only 6 months, but it was enough time for me to experience a lot of anguish
@manbehindwinkies6654 most of people on meth have bad skin and teeth. Hope he stops before that happens
I agree. I remember doing some and thinking this stuff is so good I couldn't speak. All I could do is shake my head. Thank God I've been in recovery for 9 years.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporesss
That was so hard to watch. Such a young, handsome person, in such an awful state. You can just imagine how much abuse he's getting especially from the 'Sugar Daddies' he mentioned. This breaks my heart, I truly hope someone helps him soon before it's too late 😔
This was the first interview I couldn't finish watching. So young and not long for this world.
God bless him!! He was trying to give thoughtful answers but his mind was so messed up from the drugs he was barely lucid. Maxim, none of this is your fault. I don't know the pain you have gone through in your life but I send you peace, love and healing.
Who's fault is it then?
His bad choices are his fault. The only time I saw him give a big smile was when he said he started drugs at 15. He looked really proud of it. Fat people put the food in themselves same as druggies with drugs. No one tells a fat person that it is not their fault
None of this is your fault?? 😂
Agreed
Agreed…
Please interview him more when he's more coherent, thank you Mark
I would imagine when he's coherent the last thing he would want to do is be interviewed
Longevity is not in this dude's future if he doesn't get help soon. Good luck Maxim. If someone offers you help, take it.
That’s what I was thinking! I hope he doesn’t overdose!😢
traditional 'help' doesnt work. They need a full system reboot where instead of the hate and neglect they had from childhood they have that replaced by love and support. The problem is the scripts they are running on. Perhaps 5meoDMT may help. Otherwise Ideal Parent Figure protocol by Dr. Dan P. Brown (Harvard)
He's in deep.
@@gorblimey love yr ideas i think i need u as my psychiatrist please
@@chloewatson8275 those two things I mentioned can cure a large majority of ones issues
Someone’s gonna have to rescue this poor guy 💔 Mark if you ever find him sober please interview him again.
Wow, Maxim is just all over the place. I hope he can find some help or better himself. He is in an absolute horrible downward spiral. He is living in a hard lifestyle, and it is sad to see how his life is, and I feel with all the drugs he is on, he doesn't even understand how bad things are for him.
What a sweet beautiful boy...struggling so hard and holding so much in his skin. It was like watching someone trying to hold their head above water and not panic while being pulled from under. May he be freed.
❤❤❤
Watching this young man was heartbreaking…he really could have been a model just like he wanted to be, he’s a gorgeous young kid
One of the hardest things I’ve ever done in life was drag my then 28 year old son out of a heroin addiction in Dallas texas, and he was nowhere near as far gone as maxim. I am forever the optimist but this guy won’t make it much longer. His parents need to take control and help him. You can’t leave your kid in this shape and call yourself a parent. I’ve been in the trenches for mine and I would do it again. He can’t do this on his own, he’s like a two year old at this point. Wtf is wrong with this country, this world, this place in time? As a people we cannot turn our backs on this, even if it seems like the only thing we can do it is NOT. We must give without expectation, love without judgment, offer hope in the most hopeless situations. Otherwise we will drown in our mistakes.
Heroin is a different thing, it's easier to overdose but it doesn't destroy your mind the way cristal meth does.
You are literally judging parents who’s children are in active addiction
I’m so sorry for what your family has gone through. It’s heartbreaking 💔. I hope things are better now. Bedt wishes
@@darrenohara4588glad i’m not the only one who felt the hate in this comment
I’m glad you were able to help your son, but some families cannot support the continued relapses, stealing, fraud, conning, and emotional turmoil. My brother has been an active addict for over a decade, and my family is a shell of what it once was. My mother died while my brother was still using, and her greatest wish on her death bed was his sobriety and he cared not. I used to have empathy for him and his situation, but he is a manipulative person. Addiction is a disease, but some people are just bad people and sometimes you can’t do anything to help someone because it is literally their underlying character traits. Judging other families on what they are willing to continue to suffer through is not the way. Again, happy you were able to help your son, but other families cannot continue to drown to save the one drowning family member that doesn’t want to be saved.
He reminds me a little of Rebecca. An intelligent young man with so much potential. I hope he is able to turn his life around and be happy and healthy.
I thought so too. They're also both from Russia, and got adopted into wealthy families it seems.
I thought that too. The femininity and fragile expressive grandeur.
I came here to say the same thing. Especially in the pauses before answering a question.
I thought the same thing as well
Same!
This one was really hard to watch. I hope this young man figures out what he wants and needs in life.
Agree
Absolutely💜🙏
Same.same.
Totally agree. It was gut wrenching. I hope he finds the internal strength to recover his true light. Sending him my positive vibes and sincerest intentions. Please fight Sir! We are waiting for you to come back to the light!
I had such an amazing time doing this interview with you.😊
Please email me…

Thanks!
He went to my high school. He wasn’t exactly a great person, but nobody deserves this kind of life. I hope he can get help
Can I ask why is wasn't a great person in High school?
@@alanarmy3397 he bullied some of my friends, I never saw him be nice to anyone really, he was disrespectful to teachers and ditched classes a lot, said very homophobic things (internalized, I’m sure) etc. His sister was in my grade and was incredibly sweet, so I can’t imagine it all coming down to parenting.
All that being said, I know adoption is hard even when it happens to really young kids, and I’m sure he had some internal struggles that he needed help with but didn’t receive.
@@megclement thanks. he was obviously a messed up kid before the drugs. Birth parents were probably drug addicts I expect. Shame
Same! He has so much potential! I pray he gets sober ASAP. What’s his last name?
@@AnnaFetterolf I would like to know as well if you ever find out.
This was hard to watch. He is one step away from drug induced psychosis if not already there. So sad for this young man. Bless you Mark for trying to give this young man an opportunity to share his story and get some ‘safe’ cash. I pray Max will find his way to better days.
Definitely, I was wondering if he was already dealing with some schizophrenia symptoms that he is trying to ignore.
@@brittanyz.3979 very likely. It is very sad to see more and more young people basically drugging themselves into extinction. I really don’t know what it will take before the ‘powers that be’ try harder to get ahead of this epidemic and save generations of young people.
Omg he was my roommate for a couple of months in LA. That’s soooo heartbreaking 💔 I’m in total shock. Will def pray for him
again mark, u have patience w/people unlike anyone i’ve seen…i think it may be the 1st time at least in a long time they feel someone treats them with some kind of dignity. thank u for that!
For 7 figures a year to interview people, I can also show patience and understanding. (Source: this channel's estimated yearly revenue via social blade)
@@emilyk5718 - hard disagree…i think he started out this way??? he’s done this for Years, every single day almost! He has a gift..not many can do what he does..not even for 7 figure income.. #facts
@@emilyk5718 do it then Emily, rather than watch him and throw shade.
@emily k oh come on social blade. He give away monet by the handful daily just going to his studio on skid Row where he's been for years. It's definitely a passion project for him
@Broski Snowski look at his subscription service. Multiplying the paid subscriber count × monthly subscription = almost $200k per month.
It js really sad seeing a young person in this condition. I really hope he can overcome his addiction and escape from his living hell.
In this state, it sickens me to think of what his 'clients' have done to this very young man. He needs help, fast. As a mother of a boy nearly his age, my heart breaks watching this.
Dude is right on the verge of a hard comedown.
A Beautiful lost soul. I wish him well.
I wish the very best for you Maxim. You seem like a kind person.
Maxim is so beautiful. It hurts to see him that way. He deserves a beautiful life. ❤
The sad part is the permanent damage done to the brain. It’s incredible the recovery possible with people struggling with meth addiction - but, there’s certainly lasting physical damage.
Maxim😢❤ this broke my heart! I hope you seek help and that recovery can help you heal and blossom❤ You are so young and beautiful, you can go so far if you just go for it😊❤
Your portrait shows a very handsome young man who could grace the cover of high class fashion magazines, the interview shows someone who is actually difficult to look at for any length of time. I do hope Maxim escapes this lifestyle and his addiction. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one of his sugar daddies cared enough about him to help him beat his demons and achieve his full potential.
I agree with everything you're saying.
He's beautiful.
Very skinny though.
And what a great world it would be if someone helped him.
Unfortunately the guys buying sex is just using him because he's young and attractive.
Give him two more years on meth and he'll be 80 pounds and without teeth.
Then they've moved on to the next, young, handsome boy getting to town.
It's worse than lions feeding off a gazelle or whatever they eat.
When he
If these sugar daddies are providing him drugs to take advantage of him, they don’t care about him, just his body. I hope someone who loves him finds and help him though 💔
@@leneo1731 what you wrote reminds me of
Psalm 10:8-11
He lies in wait near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
He says to himself, “God will never notice;
he covers his face and never sees.”
@@velandrea Thank you for a very interesting quote from The Bible.
There were several things that stood out to me.
The most important thing is that I didn't know that someone had the balls to speak of God like that.
The person is kibf of making fun of God.
He's covering his eyes, so he can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Or want see what I'm doing wrong. So I can pray on people and do whatever I want to.
Who is this guy who openly ridicules God like that?
That's exactly how I feel by the way.
If there is a God, he's doing a shitty job.
And he have to have put on a shield or something that prevents him from seeing what's going on.
I can't imagine the chaos and total devastating of this earth and the people living here could be continue if God was awake and knew everything going on.
But that's my opinion and I'm absolutely not trying to make fun or be mean. I'm just so disappointed and helpless because I don't understand why all of this is happening because people don't deserve it.
And I'm talking about everything as a whole, like earth quakes, the wars, the epidemic, hunger, school shootings, babies being molested and abused. Everything.
It's a hell hole. That's what it is. With no one taking action. That's why I'm disappointed.
That qote described it better than anyone ever could.
How can we make sense when God covers his eyes?
What a stunning portrait! A moment of composure. I wonder what it’s like seeing the world through Maxim’s eyes. The thought of it definitely helps me with my own recovery. Thanks Mark for these amazing life affirming interviews ❤
I hate seeing people in this state. Very sad to see
It really is, it's very scary too.
This makes me so sad…he could really become something amazing if he could get clean.
I honestly feel bad for him. I don’t know how he survives out there
This was a hard one to watch. I’m sitting through the discomfort with tears in my eyes for this kid. You can tell he has a sweet soul, he’s just so lost.
On a positive side he is so beautiful, like a ballerina x
I saw this before in my own life. I didn't understand at first this a person that's on something. Sadly I found out. My son's starting using and my oldest took things to this level. I remember him passing out and I held him and felt his heart beating so fast thru his chest. It reminded me of the ultrasound they give you when you get to hear the baby's heartbeat, fast like a race horse. Sadly, right before he agreed to get help and go to treatment, he overdosed and fentanyl was in the mix. I'll never forget the person he was at his heart, and how the drugs stole a brilliant mind. As much as I miss him every day, he isn't on the streets or homeless. He's not being abused or in a dangerous situation. He's with me, in many rooms, and everywhere I travel I leave a part of him. I hope my other son stays clean, but the pull of addiction is so very strong. I hope Maxim stays safe and is never hurt, and gets help.
I'm so sorry.❤ Every day, I wonder if my own son will make it to the next day. This was really difficult to watch.
I think he's been awake longer than 2 days.
My guess is between 4-5 based on my experience.
@@PPSH-Riley most likely
I was as bad as this on meth, if not worse than this when I was 25.. smoked it every day since the day I first tried it. 2 years later and I’m now clean nearly 50 days. It turns into a horrible drug and the effects completely change after about 6 months using every day then it becomes a whole different animal
Maxim, truly breaks my heart. Out of all of the videos I've watched, he really moved me. What an attractive man, but so clueless bc of meth. Hopefully, he finds a way out before he's either spent too much time there or 2, dead from the drugs.
This one really moved me as well! I actually couldn’t sleep for awhile💔
So young and so lost. This beautiful young man just breaks my heart. 😢💔
I hope that one day we get to see Maxim sober, where he looks back at this video and says he doesn't even know this person anymore.
Jesus Christ.....I feel like I'm having a anxiety attack just watching him. Dude is a hot mess
Sent my anxiety through the roof
Sane here Matt and I'm a psychologist..... unsettling to the core.
Me too
I’d his slurring because he’s higher than a kite or does he have a speech impediment?
This is so sad to watch. 😢My heart breaks for him. He is so young and has so much potential. My prayer for him is that he would get the help he needs and turn his life around before it's too late. Thank you for giving these people a voice. ❤
Me and max used to be very close friends before he moved to LA.. I always wondered why he never reached out and now I know why… his dream was to always be a model and to study film it hurts so much to see him like this. He was always the biggest dreamer and was blessed to be confident and sure of him self even as a young boy. You mean so much to me Max i hope things will be better for you going forward
I’ve been praying for him constantly! I can definitely see him as a model for sure!
Lord😢 please may this young man find recovery 😮😢⌚🙏🙏🙏🙏 Mark has so much patience and ability to keep the questions flowing... And the photo - - Wow!!!!!!! Gives a whole perspective on how dire this young man needs help....😢😮🥺😱😣💔💔 😢😢
So much potential. Maxim could be anything. Drugs really do destroy lives. Mark, thank you for your relentless strength, your undying motivation to show these stories. You are a blessing to many.
He reminds me so much of Rebecca. He’s intelligent and interesting but also clearly so, so sick with addiction. I pray he gets and stays sober.
If possible please interview him again when he's not as high as a kite
I'd like to see that too, I 2nd this comment ☝️
One Sonic sent me here
Such a beautiful young man,
please help yourself. That crap out there isn't even meth,Little Brother 😒.
Reminds me of Rebecca ..similar family history and acts the same. I hope he gets help from someone..he’s so young and alone in living
I sense a tremendous amount of inner pain and torture in this man. "I can't imagine life being sober".
He is heartbreaking. I can see the man he is supposed to be. I pray protection and healing over him.
I know very sad
I see the nonbinary beauty they are supposed to be. I pray sunshine, rainbows, unicorns, and glitter over them. 🎉
💚 man this breaks my heart- wishing him health healing and peace
This is sad but the good news is that he’s YOUNG and if he cleans up and beefs up he would do well cause he’s very good looking.
He reminds me of our girl Rebecca. Speaking of….. I miss her!! ☹️
He's totally acting and has watched and rehearsed too many Rebecca interviews. Not buying this one.
They are both attention seeking men whom I can’t bare to listen to or watch. They think they are interesting but in reality they’re bores 🥱😴
@@baublesanddolls yes ..he has nothing else to do
As a russian I feel very sorry for this guy. He’s handsome; he seems kind. It’s so bad he got into drugs. Poor guy.
And people who say they’ve known him as a not very nice person. Well, be wise, he was adopted! What do you expect an adopted child to be like?
Children without parents are unhappy and may seem unkind. But that’s because they’re struggling or probably trying to defend themselves.
Be kind to others especially to mean people because mean people are unhappy ones and you never know what they’re going through.
He’s so young ,I pray for his health life and his mental health.
He can straighten his life out if he wants it.
Confidence is why most drug addicts say they do drugs. It looks like its good to teach kids young what confidence truly is and help them achieve it
@ luvyatubers
good pint .. for me it was crippling and untreated anxiety as my parents refused to acknowledge that anxiety is a real thing .. for reference i was born in the late 70’s and went through HS in the early-mid 90’s
You are correct! Good observation.
100%
Well, to built self confidance younger kids, teenagers, etc... need to acept that there isn't "flash" rewards.
They need to want to allways do better than before to achieve better results. To learn with mistakes, to don't give up.
But, this kind of personality, want it all, right now, with no effort. That's why they became these kind of persons.
Spoiled kids, could do everything in life, but they choose to have this kind of live.
It gives them a euphoric feeling, giving them a false sense of confidence… basically, they need an escape from reality and drugs give them that.
My heart break when he said he couldn’t imagine life sober. I can already guarantee Maxim would be the funnest person to be around if he would get sober. I wish him all the best and I hope he gets the help he needs.
I was a methamphetamine addict for over 20 years and people didn't act like this before. I don't know what they are putting in that stuff now I hope this man finds sobriety.
I hope he watches this when he is sober ....😢
Aww bless him. He seems such a gentle soul. I find him really likeable. I hope you do an update on him when his heads clear.
Only a third through this and this guy already making water fall down my eyes for the depth of his addiction and the fact that he had not slept for 48 hours prior to this interview. I am sure myself and others will pray that this guy obtains the help and support he needs and we see him again on a follow up show where he is coherent. 🙏
The trauma of being adopted is never discussed it's brutal as an adopted kid I know
I agree, as a therapist, I’ve seen this throughout the years. It’s as if the adoptee never recovers from their first abandonment and lives their life seeking to answer why they were left behind. Maybe you could write a book on the unintended effects it’s had on you.
Gabor Maté argues this all the time - that even babies adopted into loving homes experience abandonment on a deep level, whether consciously or unconsciously.
@@donacatanguma I was adopted to a very loving home 2 orthodox jewish people upper class and I had a very privileged life I suffer terribly from depression it's crushing, but I have a loving wife who keeps me together. It's a constant struggle I wish it on no one even my worst enemy
@@Dizz00005
I am so very sorry to know of your incessant suffering. We are all vulnerable in one way or another.
I pray that you will come to know that your life has meaning, that you are worthy of great love, and that little by little you be healed of all sadness. May HaShem bless you with much Light all the days of your beautiful life.
I send you Love. ❤️

@@donacatanguma
so true, dr gabor mate is the best
I felt sick while watching this. What a loss of great potential, and I would say that about so many (if not all) of those interviewed here.
Maxim isn’t likely to live for many years like this, but he has youth on his side, for now.
The men that pay him or give him very temporary shelter in exchange for performing sex acts are vile monsters. Same for the drug dealers. Maxim is responsible for his choices, but they’ve got blood on their hands. I would say that about any individual that gets bought &sold like this young man.
What a brutal story. Sometimes this life is too much & this is going to give me nightmares.
I am still thinking about Maxim today. I’m praying for you Maxim and hope you’ll get help. I’ve got my own problems, and I can only say that Jesus Christ has been who I have turned to. Christ has made all the difference in my life. He has taken the terrible things & He has walked with me & helped me carry the burdens. I’m healed through Christ. I just want the same for you, Maxim.
This is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. There are so many of Marks videos that stay with you long after you've watched them, and this is one of them. I am in the UK and have a son about this young man's age. Oh my Goodness, there but for the grace of God.
So sad for this beautiful, young person. I pray they find recovery ❤
I think the setting puts people in a vulnerable position that exposes how trapped the people truly are.
Beautiful tragedies.
Poor dude looks so ill.Meth really does fry the brain and make you imagine the craziest shit.
He reminds me of Rebecca ... very scattered, and completely off his trolley! Sad that so many addicts have suffered some form of abuse during their lives. I hope he finds his way ✌❤
Wow, I went to high school with this kid, can’t say I’m really surprised or empathetic towards him. Not the nicest dude in the world towards people trying to help him & i even remember him making fun of me on a somewhat regular basis in metals class. Regardless I don’t wish this on my worst enemy and I hope he gets some help
Where did you attend school?
@@Bra01ndy a flaming gay dude in shop class, I find that a little hard to believe.
@@richard-ni7tpSome schools require a semester of it for everyone, but right he likely didn't do it willingly 😂
@@Bra01ndy fossil ridge
@@richard-ni7tpwhat are you even doing here.
He looks like a Ballet dancer. So sad to see him this way and my heart and prayers go out to him. 🙏🏻
Don't forget that he is still in contact with his mother... therefore he cannot discuss the truth about his childhood ages 3-18 years... he said a lot by repeating the tough love thing 5 or so times.
I hope he gets the help he needs while there’s still time. It’s so unfortunate he’s nearing in deep addiction at 22. My heart breaks for him as if he’s a family member.
Reminds me of Rebecca. God bless them. I hope they get rescued someday, and we here good things about them.
poor guy seems so exhausted. i hope he seeks help soon. ❤
It’s absolutely sad and heartbreaking to see the state crystal meth addicts end up in. And unfortunately you can trust them with anything, cause given the chance they will steal everything they can get their hands on. Addiction is a horrible position to be in and it harms the user and everyone around them.
The only humane and economical way of stopping homelessness and drug addiction is to lock them up for at least as many years as they have used drugs, until they are sane and capable of taking care of themselves.
That's a stigma. Its about brain chemistry. Not all are like that.
@@zanadeux literally!! Quite offensive actually
Can’t make broad statements like that. I’ve been doing meth for 20+ years and never stolen a thing. It’s never changed my INTEGRITY. Might as well make a blanket statement about ethnic groups while you’re at it? 🤔🤔

You’re a liar.
Poor guy, so young too. Its heart breaking. I hope Maxim finds peace and gets sober soon x
I had such an amazing time doing this interview with you.
It's y, Maxim?
Breaks my heart to see this. You can see so many tough emotions in those moments of silence. Maxim has a lot in common with the people I work with. Before I started working in this industry, I never viewed drug use as something caused by trauma, loss, grief and unfulfilled needs. Like many people in my generation, we were taught that drug is a life decision and we demonised people who use drugs, but in fact, not all of them choose to continue living in such a lifestyle. Some never choose to do so, as I lately found out, some parents even supplied drugs to their kids from a young age. And there are huge differences between people who are addicted to drugs but have people who support them and care about them to people who are all by themselves. Some may choose to do it for fun, but most who stayed used it as a way to cope with life, and when it's no longer about enjoyment, it becomes a way to meet daily needs, Mental Health and Drug use are just inseparable.
I hope Maxim gets to rehab very soon!!!!☆
GOD BLESS me, you, him and Mark for being here. I love this guy and wish him well .
He is such a beautiful human being. Inside and out. I hope he gets clean. I was addicted to dope for years, addicted to any drugs and alcohol. I am clean now, and my heart breaks for those who still suffer from this disease 💔
How do you know? Several people who really know him can attest he was not a nice person. People aren't "beautiful, kind" soul simply by virtue of being in the grip of addiction.
I just want to give this man the hugest hug and simply make him feel safe and valued, if only for a few hours; he seems so absolutely shattered.
Meth is one of the drugs your brain never recovers from, my❤goes out to him.
Methamphetamine and alcohol are the two worst drugs for your body.
this is NOT TRUE! your brain can still recover from meth- spreading disinformation like this just discouraging addicts from trying to get clean bc they think it’s already too late for them. It does take a long time but your brain does regenerate and recover from meth. Long term physical damage is definitely more highly likely but people can regain a lot of mental function with the hard work of staying sober, and everyone’s recovery journey is going to look different, just like with any substance. No hate, just wanted to share this for anyone who may be struggling so they don’t feel discouraged ❤
@@sugarsore and inhalants
@@Broskisnowski Meth is worse because it effects the blood brain barrier and there is no recovery.
This was an heartbreaking interview
Event tho he's high, he's definitely holding back his emotions on those questions, of have you ever been in love, or do you have friends. I can see he's really trying to hold back
I don't observe him as holding back emptions. I don't think he can put a cohesive thought into a sentence because his thought process is so splintered and fragmented. He also exhibits thought-blocking, incongruent smiling, poverty of thought and speech, involuntary motor activity (gesturing, posturing grimacing), and appears to respond to internal stimuli (hallucinations). It's difficult to get a true sense of his emotional state with the drug-induced symptoms (and likely psychosis) exhibited here. As a seasoned professional in mental health + addiction treatment, this was difficult to watch.
I don’t usually comment, but this one really got to me. I hope he can find the help he needs. ❤
I pray that he finds healing❤🕊 such a fragile human being
I’m watching this again. I can see who you could be without drugs. I think you’d be contemplative and a great listener. I really like you and hope your dreams come true.
This is an orphan. They have the most tragic of minds and lives...the wounds are so deep it's insane....the foster system can be worse than prison...they will run away from the best adoptive parents and circumstances because of the pain they carry in their minds and hearts
This breaks my heart 💔 he was adopted to find a better home and life … and he’s so lost now. God please help this poor kid 😭❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
